How Sugar Destroys Your Health & Literally Makes You Stupid

Sugar, primarily in the form of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), is the largest source of calories in the United States today. While its mass appeal is vastly rooted in cultures worldwide, its health impacts are substantially detrimental and are often overlooked by the majority. In his book, The Sugar Fix, Dr. Richard Johnson suggests about 50 percent of Americans consume as much as half a pound, more than 225 grams, per day. This statistic is the farthest thing from sweet. While its no secret that sugar is a major player in the obesity, heart disease, and type II diabetes epidemic, most would be shocked to discover that sugar literally makes you dumber as well. From our gut to our brain In his article, Eating […] Read More

The Two Most Dangerous Artificial Sweeteners

Artificial sweeteners were initially designed to be sugar substitutes and a helpful tool for the battle against the bulge. Unfortunately, the state of obesity in the world has gotten worse, and artificial sweeteners are clearly not helping. You can find sugar substitutes in diet sodas, yogurt, and a host of other food products. These artificial sweetener additives mimic the flavor of sugar but offer no useful energy and may in fact be toxic. The Two Most Concerning Artificial Sweeteners There are five dangerous sugar substitutes that are approved for consumer use: saccharin, neotame, acesulfame potassium, aspartame, and sucralose. Of the five main artificial sweeteners, sucralose and aspartame are the most pervasive and dangerous substitutes found in products on store shelves today. Sucralose This additive is […] Read More

ADDITIVES — LOOK BEFORE YOU EAT!

You walk into a supermarket. On the delicatessen counter there are some sausages whose label reads: ‘not less than 100% meat’; in other words, there is nothing in them other than meat. But it also reads: ‘contains herbs, preservative and colour’ so, quite obviously, it must be less than 100% meat . It works like this. Say you have 5 lbs of raw meat, but after cooking it, its weight has dropped to 4 lbs. The law allows you to make up that other lb. with a cheap filler. You now have 5 lbs of the mixture and, because it weighs the same as the original meat, you can call it 100% meat! Asking my butcher the same question elicited a different answer. He told […] Read More

Splenda

by author Sandra Tonn, RHN With increasing awareness about the dangers of chemical sugar substitutes such as aspartame, consumers are searching for a replacement.What about Splenda???? they ask me, hoping to receive some assurance from a nutritionist that they can enjoy their sweets without calories or adverse health effects. They eagerly insist, Its made from sugar, so its natural,??? and wait for permission to indulge.Just Add ChlorineI wondered how an artificial sweetener could be natural and decided to investigate. The patented multi-step process starts with cane sugar. Three hydrogen-oxygen groups on the sugar molecule (sucrose) are replaced with three chlorine atoms, resulting in an artificial compound that is approximately 600 times sweeter than sugar. This compound, which was named sucralose, is chemically stable and, therefore, […] Read More

Aspartame – The World’s Best Ant Poison

From the June 2006 Idaho Observer: Aspartame – The World’s Best Ant Poison contributed byJan Jensen of WELLthy Choices. We live in the woods and carpenter ants are a huge problem. We have spent thousands of dollars with Orkin and on ant poisons trying to keep them under control but nothing has helped. So when I read somewhere that aspartame (Nutrasweet, Diet Coke, etc.) was actually developed as an ant poison and only changed to being considered non-poisonous after it was realized that a lot more money could be made on it as a sweetener than as an ant poison, I decided to give it a try. I opened two packets of aspartame sweetener, and dumped one in a corner of each of our bathrooms. […] Read More
