How Artificial Sweeteners Ruin Your Life and Make You Fat!
SUGAR IS a villain, particularly sugar substitutes. The medical types that study the effects of sugar and artificial sweeteners on your health clearly know how this substance can mess with you.
The popular and insightful practitioner of “functional medicine”, Dr. Mark Hyman reports in his blog post, Artificial Sweeteners Could Be Sabotaging Your Diet:
“An exciting study in the Journal of Behavioral Neuroscience has shown conclusively that using artificial sweeteners not only does not prevent weight gain, but induces a whole set of physiological and hormonal responses that actually make you gain weight.” (Read his insightful post.)
Along with Dr. Hyman, Dr. Teitelbaum has produced some really fine work in revealing the ravages of various sugars. In this post, I present what Jacob Teitelbaum, MD describes as the four types of sugar addicts, courtesy of Lynn Tryba’s summary of his book, Beat Sugar Addiction Now!.

Some ordinary people think so, but (apparently) few in the medical establishment.
Jim Simpson and his Hemp Oil
JIM SIMPSON is an ordinary guy that has devoted his life to making “hemp oil”, distributing it freely and campaigning for the government (Canadian) to recognize that it cures cancer.
He must feel alone, cause it seems very, very few of the “officials” we rely on will address his claim, much less back it.
However, Mr. Simpson does have the sworn affidavits of four dozen people who claim they’ve been cured of cancer and/or other pernicious ailments. He also has the testimony of a few courageous medical doctors. Very few.

You’ll be blown away by the specific health benefits of these foods!
NEVER BEFORE has there been more research devoted to life extension via nutrition. The Baby Boomers simply refuse to age. I can relate, and I do relate to you on this blog about some of the pearls I run across and experience myself.
The editors of Men’s Health report about the latest science on the muscle building, brain enhancing, wrinkle erasing, heart strengthening, bone protecting, immunity boosting, and inflammation fighting foods you should be eating every day.
I’ll here present what was written, and point out that another scientific journey into the same subject was funded by 86 year-old billionaire David Murdock, who himself is intent on turning back the clock – or at least stopping it.
In Murdock’s recipe for longevity, I report on his “healthiest foods on earth”. In the list below, I note which of the 40 “age-erasing superfoods” reported by Men’s Health match Murdock’s list. Personally, I indulge mightily in most of these foods, and I heartily suggest that you do too.
Choose a couple each week new to you, and once assimilated, add some more each week till the good stuff crowds out the bad stuff, and that face in the mirror reflects the former you.
