The "No Sugar Diet" Explained

-

Science has proven that white sugar is dangerous to your health. I heard this the other day on a TV news program and I wasn’t surprised. Anything that is processed by man before you buy has been altered to increase profits. 


White sugar was been linked to Cancer. So why after centuries of humans using sugar to sweeten food is it now labeled as a cause of Cancer. All of this is linked to why we gain weight. We are not eating our grandmothers sugar, flour, coffee, or even milk and cheese. 


If we back up to the 1950’s, food was actually more expensive.  Not in terms of dollars but compared to our salaries. In the 50’s we were paying about 25% of the average monthly income for food.  Today we pay less than 10% of the average monthly income. Why!! Some of the reasons are because we have a larger number of people earning less than average wage. 


Manufacturers decided decades ago that they needed to keep the cost of food as low as possible. While Europe never did that. They wanted the quality of food to stay the same, so the price of food in Europe is higher than in this country. 


Most countries don’t import food. They grow their own. Spices may be the exception to that rule and sugar is consided a spice. 


If you travel to other countries you can tell the difference in the food. Of course, things are different today and the manufacturing of food has spread to other countries. But in other first world countries the quality of food is closely guarded. 


For instance, in Mexico, manufacturers of soda like Coca Cola have to use real cane sugar in their soda. In this country Coca Cola uses a chemical substitute. Most food manufacturers don’t use real sugar in anything. Not in breakfast cereal, or most anything else on the grocers shelves. Those products that use the word "sugar" on the food label will only use enough so the FDA will allow them to use the sugar on the label. If you read those labels carefully you will also find chemical sweetners on the labels. 


Even if a product says sugar on the food label, it’s not real sugar. Additives are put in all processed foods and if you read the food labels you can see it for yourself and people have been reading and they have been complaining.


This has caused such a disturbance  in the food industry that manufacturers  been scrambling to clean up the food labels. The consumer want the labels but they don’t like what they read. They don’t like chemicals in their food and consumers are switching to fresh food. Even frozen foods are taking a backseat to fresh foods. 


The new immigrants in our country are helping to change the food industry. They want to buy the same fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh meat and seafood that they use to buy in their country. Most of them don’t want packaged food. And new immigrants eat more at home than Americans. 


North America is the part of the World with the most Cancer cases and we can limit our chances of getting Cancer by limiting our consumption of white sugar, animal fat, stop smoking, lose body fat and be more active. It’s not that hard. We have learned to avoid caring for ourselves and now 2/3’s of the adult population is weight. 


You are the only one that can keep you healthy. Chemicals in food is not something that kills you quickly. It might take a couple of decades, but as you age the chemicals you consume over a lifetime stay in your system and if you live long enough you’ll end up with Cancer or something even worse. The chemicals I’m talking about will be absorbed in your fat cells and just keep growing.

It's loaded with healthy foods and research findings suggest following this diet may help reduce some of the risk factors for heart disease.  According to the Oldways Preservation & Exchange Trust, the Mediterranean diet was introduced in 1993 by Oldways, Harvard School of Public Health and the World Health Organization.  The diet includes: Olives and olive oil Whole grains, mostly in bread and cereal rather than pasta Very little red meat Fish and seafood Some cheese, but less milk Lots of vegetables and fruit Plenty of legumes and nuts A little red wine The Mediterranean diet is high in fiber and antioxidants from vegetables, legumes and nuts, far greater than the typical Western diet, and low in saturated fat.

Changing Your Life To Lose Weight

-

I can let you in on the ultimate secret for successfully making a change in your life. A century’s worth of psychological research reveals an interesting paradox in who we are. On the one hand, once we reach adulthood our basic personalities remain unchanged for the rest of our lives. We keep doing the same things—and feeling the same ways—over and over. But, on the other hand, every day we change our behavior drastically in response to different environments. Most of us are one person at work, for example, and another person at home. It is easier to change our environment than to change ourselves. So, if you want to change yourself, change your environment. Said differently: Whenever possible, don’t try to fight temptations – avoid them! The easiest way to make a change in your life is to modify the world around you in ways that will naturally drive you toward making, and maintaining, the change you want. There are many ways to change your environment, but let’s focus

Cancer and High Protein Diets

-
On the Fox TV Network the other night, one of the big stories was about high protein diets. A new study has shown a link between the over consumption of animal protein and how it can stimulate the growth of cancer cells. It seems we all have cancer cells but they don’t normally grow, unless we consume too much animal fat, dairy or fats from processed foods. Before I continue I want to explain about the link to cancer. After all, Man has been eating red meat for millions of years, right. That's true but todays red meat is not the same. Most red meat that we buy in the supermarket comes from Steers that have been raised in feed lots on a grain diet that is full of hormones and other chemicals that shorten the growing time and put more fat on the animal. These hormones and other chemicals stay in the meat and what you're buying will contain the chemicals that the animal ate. Normally a grass feed Steer that lives on the range in big herds will take 18 to 20 months to grow to
