Published on 4 Comments on Gummy Vitamins Etc Are Basically Another Candy Craze – More Sugar More Chemicals

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher

Are we Really that Gullible or just plain Brain Washed to Believe All the Claims that are being made?

Vitamin Tablets vs Gummies: Should You Ditch Time-Tested Capsules For Candies?

Yes they look just like candies and come in a variety of flavours. And most importantly, they claim to be the answer for your skin, hair, and even sleep woes. In short, Gummy Vitamins and supplements look tempting and you can avoid taking tablets or capsules. HERE

Be Not Quick To Buy - Recognise Charlatans!

Hey, wait a minute…."they look tempting"….does that mean we can snack on them, whatever? Or have we become so weak-willed that "everything" has to give us "Enjoyment" even Supplements? Let's do the Math and come to our senses hey? Rather than having to be "turned-on" about everything. And if these so-called Supplements do give us a buzz, maybe they are just like the Fake Foods in Supermarkets that Excite the Tastebuds and are Bad for our Health! The fact is that Manufacturers ENGINEER Fake Foods and Fake Supplements with a "Bliss Point" so we will Crave More and Buy More….and…

Published on Leave a comment on See the KETO Movement for What it Really Is – What’s Coming is Mind Boggling!

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs
With Some Assistance from AI

Please Folk, for your Health's Sake, your Pocket and Your Family, find out what the Keto Trend is really about, where it is going and see it for what it really is. In short, this Diet is very Restrictive and very Unbalanced. For sometime I've been Mystified as to "WHY" every so often I find out that another Professional Health Advocate approves of and Promotes this KETO Diet, and some of them don't leave it alone?
It was "Baffling" at times and lingered in my thoughts.

As some of you know, I've been into genuine part-time Independent Natural Health Research 30+ Years and am a pretty Perceptive person - my Instincts serve me well. For sometime, I've felt an Unease about it - that there's something more than a Trend involved. It Is "Trendy" and it's Not going to go away any time soon - and it does a lot of damage to many people's Health. So why are these Brilliant Advocates (some of them) involved in it? Like Dr Eric Berg, whose Teaching Videos, I've enjoyed many times.…

Published on Leave a comment on Different Methods of Cleaning and Cooking Rice and Making Healthy Rice Meals

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs

Hi Friends, a Family Member makes very Good Rice, I never could. Had a few attempts and never tied it again! He made extra Rice occasionally when I'm invited for Meals and he gave me some to take home afterwards. I just didn't have the Nac of making it and the Rice Cooker I bought years ago was Non-Stick, so understandably, I wasn't comfortable about using it.

But I had an Idea two weeks ago - seeing if there's an uncoated Stainless Steel Rice Cooker OR a Glass One available and there was, so I bought one. I also Searched to find out how to Clean Brown Basmati Rice, ready to cook (had heard about that) and I found out.

So I'm thinking many of you Folks may like to know how to do that, and different Cooking Methods because not everyone can afford to buy an Appliance at the moment. So here we Go!

Rinsing Brown Rice for Less Arsenic Exposure?

The most effective method to clean brown rice is a vigorous Cold Water rinse and agitate cycle, repeated 3 to 4 times.…

Published on Leave a comment on Settling The Matter About Peanut Paste: Is It Nutritious Or Anti-Nutritious? Depends What You Buy OR Make!

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs
With Assistance of AI

I'd like to share with you some INFO I found today with an AI APP named Chat GPT I have commenced working with for part of my Research. I have to watch it with some things, but it is Good to Very Good with most things I've searched so far - especially for Gardening.

I asked CHAT the Questions in Red and what I'm Adding for You is in Italics - OK?

Because Peanut Paste is all the rage in recent months and people are adding it to all kinds of Recipes from Savoury to Baking to Sweet, I think I should advise people against the Commercial Jars of it (that have Nasties) and at-least direct them to the Natural one without Nasties from Aldi, and from Health Stores - Freshly Made.

If you're using Peanut Paste regularly, compare the ingredient lists. Some products are simply 100% peanuts, while others contain Added sugar, oils, salt, emulsifiers, or other ingredients. Choose the version that best matches your Nutritional Goals.

Almost always, when Oils are added to Ingredients in Commercial Foods/Products, they are the Nasty ones like Canola, Sunflower Oil, Vegetable Oil (most times is SOY Oil) Safflower, Corn or Grapeseed Oil.…

Published on Leave a comment on 18 Liver-Friendly Foods You Can Add To Your Weekly Rotation

By Emilie Richardson-Dupuis

A Little Love for a Very Busy Organ

Your liver does a lot behind the scenes, so it’s only fair to give it meals that don’t make its job harder. In general, liver-friendly eating leans toward fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, fiber-rich foods, and healthy fats rather than sugary drinks, heavily processed foods, and lots of saturated fat. Of course, food isn’t a cure-all, and anyone with liver disease should follow medical advice, but these 20 everyday foods can be a smart place to start. 

Look After Your Liver
Foods That Are Good For It

Leafy Greens

Spinach, kale, collards, and Swiss chard are easy wins when you’re trying to eat in a liver-friendly way. They bring fiber, vitamins, minerals, and plant compounds to the plate without asking for much effort. You can toss them into smoothies, soups, omelets, salads, pasta dishes, or anywhere that could use a little green. 

Oats

Oats are simple, filling, and full of fiber, which makes them a great weekly staple. They’re especially handy at breakfast because they can keep you satisfied without relying on heavy, sugary options. You can dress them up with fruit, nuts, cinnamon, or a spoonful of yogurt. …

Published on Leave a comment on My Experience With An Idea To Dehydrate Zucchini Slices And A Handy AI App I Use:)

Hi Folks, here's a Fun Article for you for a change. There is far too much politics going on in recent weeks and Winter Weather Starting. I will let you know soon what I'm doing for Winter to make it more cheerful on Overcast days - I do like the Rains but too many Overcast days feels somewhat Yuck, aye? So we need to find a few Simple....Affordable....Ways to Offset that.

I am not an Amazon Associate
they have these Similar to mine:)

I had an idea to take my Dehydrator out and make some Dried Zucchini Slices, because when I went to Ebay to see if there is such an Item available, there was only about 3 Products there (different stores) AND Very Expensive (due to shipping costs) so I asked a Favorite AI App I've been using sometimes recently how I should go about making my Own Supply, being so Close to the very End of the Season now for Zucchinis.

The App I have commenced using just recently is called CHAT GPT - it's similar to Google AI but gives you More Detail which would often prove to be More Helpful.…

Published on Leave a comment on The Use Of Weedkiller Glyphosate At Harvest Time

By Anna Lamche BBC

Hi Folks, I will be checking this out in Australia. This is what's going on in the UK. They buy Glyphosate and RoundUp like we do in Australia. I do know that Oats are Harvested this way here in Our Country - Except for Organic Oats, so please try to buy those instead. I always do because I like my Oats. There are the Aldi ones, Macro in Woolworths, Red Tractor at Coles, and More at reasonable prices. Do please buy Rolled Oats rather than Quick Oats because the Valuable Nutrients are thrashed out of them whereas Organic Rolled Oats help to give you Good Wholesome Nutrition along with Whole Milk over Low-Fat Milk which is better for you Nerve Cells and Brain Cells, and Raw Honey, very Nutritious over Processed Honey which is Heat Treated and often Fake.

PS: I did Check and Verify this is practiced in Australia too - pretty wide spread. And I will Research Further, to give you an idea of what Companies don't practice this Dry Before Harvest method for Easy Harvesting - a Convenience Routine. Give me a little time please.…

Published on Leave a comment on A Personal Word From Janet Re Politics and Why I Am Writing Some Articles Of This Nature

By Janet Vargas - Defending Our Country and Our People
a Health, Nature and People's Advocate

Like many of you, I am absolutely Fed-Up with Labor and Coalition Governments, and So Desire for Us to Take Ownership of Our Country Again. I can honestly say I've NEVER been a Party Voter and have Always Voted for Independents. For quite some time now (several months) I have been watching a significant number of YouTube Videos on Pauline Hanson and One Nation because they REALLY Stand Against the Destructive Albanese Government that has Continually Grieved Our People SO MUCH.

I am Now Backing PAULINE and BARNABY 100% and have decided to Support them on OURS AUSTRALIA because they Really Ring "TRUE BLUE" with me, and they Actually Do GIVE US A VOICE in those Parliament Sessions and are Deserving of All My Votes (And Yours) Permanently. Our Government is so full of Selfish Pen-Pushing, Empty-Words, Bureaucrats after "Money, Money" that increasingly seems to be their One Ambition for being there. It disgusts me (as it does so many of us)

I have dedicated Many Hours (I don't really have with several Websites to run) watching SKY NEWS and Similar that has been instrumental in this Commitment I've made.…

Published on Leave a comment on Overlooked and Hidden Risks in Maltodextrin and Dextrose Added to Many Food Products Including Some So-Called Healthy Products

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs

Hi Friends, the Dextrose added to Products first came to my attention about 25 Yrs ago when a significant amount of it was added to some Fruit and Veggie Powders
I bought from a "Health Company" in Queensland. They said it was added to keep the Powders "Free Flowing" but I noticed they went hard in a short time anyway.
I had Beetroot Powder and Broccoli Powder among them. The Maltodextrin added to a lot of Products came to my attention about 8-12 Months ago when I heard an excellent Video by Eric Berg on YouTube. Most of his Videos are Good. Understandably, I have real reservations about Keto Diets though which he has to do with as well sometimes.

I will call on Google AI Overviews and Chat GPT assistance for this Article.
I know what I am looking for. There will be several Sections of Helpful Advice as well.

I will give you a little helpful Tip here for when you are reading some particular Health Related Articles on this Website, and it goes like this: If you consider adopting Real Foods in place of Processed and Ultra Processed Foods and Homemade Meals Mostly instead of Takeaways and Premade Meals, you don't have so much Checking of Labels to do, hey?…

Published on Leave a comment on Fructose Alters Hundreds Of Brain Genes, Which Can Lead To A Wide Range Of Health Conditions

HERE IS A STRONG ARGUMENT AGAINST BUYING THOSE 2 Litre BOTTLES OF So-Called HEALTHY FRUIT JUICES and ESPECIALLY DRINKING THEM STRAIGHT (undiluted) OR HAVING THEM OFTEN. AN OCCASIONAL SERVE OF 120ml DILUTED WITH WATER IS OK and BETTER FOR WEIGHTLOSS TOO. BECAUSE THERE IS "Free Fructose" IN FRUIT JUICE THAT AFFECTS OUR BRAIN and PANCREAS and MICROBIOME and WEIGHTLOSS EFFORTS. NOT A GOOD THING. WHEREAS WHEN WE HAVE A PIECE OF FRESH FRUIT OR FROZEN FRUIT, THE FRUCTOSE IS INTACT WITH THE FRUIT FIBRE THAT KEEPS IT IN CHECK, SO IT DOESN'T MISBEHAVE IF WE KEEP OUR FRUIT INTAKE MODERATE. A LEADING NATURAL HEALTH ADVOCATE DR JOSEPH MERCOLA ALERTED PEOPLE and MADE THEM AWARE OF THE SERIOUSNESS OF FRUCTOSE ISSUES YEARS AGO WITH A PROFESSOR AS HIS GUEST, WHO WAS ENGAGED IN A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THIS. HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED THE IMMENSE AMOUNT OF HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup) THAT FOOD MANUFACTURERS USE IN SO MANY FOODS and DRINKS and SNACKS? IT'S CRIMINAL. THEY ARE MAKING PEOPLE SICK. THEY USE A LOT OF Maltodextrin AND Dextrose TOO, WHICH AFFECT OUR BRAIN and PANCREAS and WEIGHT ADVERSELY and MICROBIOME ALSO.…
