I used to take so much for granted when I shopped at my local grocery store. I trusted that what I was eating was safe. NO MORE! A recent article by Michael Pollan in the New York Times convinced me of that. His opinion was that even though the usual predictions that pesticides may no longer work, the aquifer may run dry, or the soil may lose its fertility may still come to pass, the real concern may be "an imminent breakdown in the way we're growing food today."

Table sugar is made up of glucose and fructose, and the average American eats over 2 lbs. of sugar every week! Blood glucose levels rise every time we consume food. No problem! When flooding our body with excessive sugar, a... Read Full Story
After reading a News Target article titled Toxic Chemicals Contribute To Weight Gain , it really made sense to me why we hear so much about obesity in this country. Because toxic chemicals are fat soluable and have to go somewhere, the body makes a place for it by creating fat tissue to store it. Wow! That is revealing. There are chemicals in our water, food supply, the air, personal care products, and just about everything that is produced. I really appreciate the business that I am in now... Read Full Story

You can't read much about nutrition these days without coming across "free radicals". They sound sinister, and indeed they can be highly damaging, but in reality they're simply molecules created within the body as a perfectly natural by-product of the innumerable biochemical reactions going on all the time.
Problems can arise, however, if too many free radicals are produced, because they are highly unstable and may badly effect the function of healthy cells if allowed to go unchecked. Many... Read Full Story
