Organic Foods—It’s About The Kids!
Can Anyone Ever Remember When It Felt
Like You Could Trust The News?
I may be dating myself but when Walter Cronkite died it caused me to wonder what ever happened to the news and when did it just start to become a blend of marketing and brainwashing?
The latest news report on organic foods is a great example of filling space without checking any facts but the ones you like. Read more…
Food, Food, Food and Not a Diet in Sight
Spring is winding down, summer is nearly here, and it’s time a radical shift in the way we look at food.
So much talk about nutrition focuses on specific nutrients and products that we often forget that the basis of any good health program is simply the how, what, why and where of the food we eat.
Seasonally it’s a time of transition and a great time to become more conscious about the source of our calories.
Pandemic+Panic+Swine Flu = Build Immunity
The gods of panic are amongst us again whipping up our anxiety levels with the threat of the next great pandemic:
Swine Flu – It Is Real
The swine flu is here. I’m just not jumping on the pandemic band wagon and probably never will.
Pandemic seems to be a favorite word the media throws out there to get attention and part of me feels that pharmaceutical companies are in love with it also. Read more…
To Soy or Not To Soy—Is That The Question?
Why- oh -why did I pick this topic?
- It’s not only the most hotly debated topic in health, but also the most confusing.
Maybe by applying some common sense to the issue we can all make conscious decisions about consuming a little soy. Read more…
Acai Diet Scams
Dieting is a huge market year round but we’re now moving into the time when the market is flooded with new diet products. Summer is right around the corner and people are concerned about looking good with less clothing.
It’s also a time when the scams are in full bloom (scam is not a flower) and I want to let you in on one of the new ones.
Easing the Body Burden of The Economic Crisis
Let’s face it—we’re all stressed. The economic woe of the entire country has affected everyone and most of us personally. Recent surveys indicate that 75% of Americans are angry, worried or depressed about the economy. People are out of work or in fear of losing what income they have left.
The news is bleak and offers little to boost the confidence of the average American. Seems like a dark cloud has descended on us all.
You Can’t Fool Your Body—No Bull!
That’s right. Your body doesn’t decide if something is right for you it just reacts. It reacts to Red Bull as a poison and a whole regulatory process begins as soon as you drink it.
The one in question here contains aspartame. Commonly know as NutraSweet, it’s one of the worst things you could ever put in your body. Most of the other ingredients are rather bland, not bad, but it’s a weak formulation. It doesn’t matter if it’s mixed with good stuff though because consuming poison alone or together with nutrients doesn’t hide the fact that it’s a poison.
Aspartame has three main components—aspartic acid, methanol and phenylalanine. All three of them are associated with over stimulated brain cell death, chaotic hormonal shifts and can be a nerve poison. Stick around—it gets even better.
Don’t Believe Everything You Read.
If your feeling doubtful about your nutrition program or stressed about making decisions on your own about health it’s probably not your fault. Millions of dollars are spent each year on biased research and advertising designed to do just that—take away your power to be your own best resource for health.
The Heart Is A Many Splendored Thing
Once again Valentine’s Day is upon us and I can’t think of a better time to talk about the heart. On a day that makes us stop and think about our loved ones, it’s appropriate to expand our awareness about what constitutes heart health.
Killing Them Sweetly
Dangers of High Fructose Corn Syrup
Who knew that consuming something made out of corn could be so toxic? New information has come to light about the toxic effect of consuming High Fructose Corn Syrup or HFCS.
Over 50% of the food products containing HFCS that were tested contained mercury, one of the most poisonous natural substances in the world.
