Published on Leave a comment on Janet doesn’t Endorse these Diets: Keto or Carnivore….No-Fat Low-Fat….Dash Diet….You Should Know Why!

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Years

Be it known that in particular, KETO is a Later Form of the ATKIN’S DIET – he was an Extremist too – and the DASH DIET is a Later Version of the LOW-FAT DIET…. marginally healthier due to More Fruits and Veggies but Just as Damaging, due to Leaving Out Good Healthy Fats so Necessary for our Brain and Nerve Cells AND Heart. Not to mention Still Promoting those Cheap-Nasty Canola, Veggie Oils and Plasticised Margarine Spreads that in reality are So Destructive to Our Health.

The Unsuspected Cause of Cancer; Increase in Dementia; putting our Heart at Risk rather than Safety; the Prevalence of Hormonal Imbalance and Mood Disorders; the Escalation of Mental Health Disorders; the Sharp Increase in Auto-Immune Disorders and Diabetes; a Hidden Cause of Chronic Pain; Unexplained Chronic Headaches and Migraines; Keeping or even Stacking On the Weight it Claims to Save you from.…

Janet Vargas - Owner of this Website

YES from Mailouts to Phone Texts and Emails and Flybuys of Different Kinds, Google Adds; Store Memberships (Oh Don't Subscribe to Those) TV and Radio Commercials; Door Canvassing and Marketing Phone Calls; Etc, Etc, in case I've left anything out:)

They have become SO DEMANDING of OUR ATTENTION - in Every Way Possible - it's really quite Maddening! Does anyone Know what I'm talking about?
Yes we ALL DO, don't we?

And it HAS Become a Bit Much - that's for SURE - Not ONE Person hasn't been Bombarded by this Hideous, CRAZY Phenomena that has become a Daily Reality in different Shapes and Forms.

I really feel for Everyone (me included) would they Please STOP? But NO, there seems to be No Way of Stopping All This - not much anyway - this Insideous Nonsense! This Incessant Competing for Our MONEY when So Many Pockets are Short.…

Published on Leave a comment on The Diet Craze: Pushing for Keto…Carnivore…Plant Diet…Raw Food Diet…Vegan…Lets Find the Balance!

Hi there Friends, I'm starting this Article because I'm tired of seeing All the Unbalanced Diets that are being Heavily Promoted and Imposed on People and many of You are caught in the middle of it all. I truly do wish some Professional People would grow up. Some of them keep telling People that "This is the Diet You (Everyone) should be On" and NO diet can Claim that. Different Diets have Certain Benefits for Different People, providing they are Not Extreme.

I'm adding this Article to my Blog in addition to the one on Keto Diet because I abhor the way several Health Professionals push Keto or Carnivore Diets….Plant Diet…Raw Food Diet and Vegan are also Unbalanced. Definitely. Now they're coming up with the Bible Diet (Similar to the Ancient Food Diet) and the Human Diet and who knows what else?

The Keto and Carnivore Diets seem to be promoted a heck of a Lot and in my opinion are Very Unhealthy, plus you can get very sick on those - they are basically Animal Protein and Fat, very little of anything else.…

Published on Leave a comment on Health Chiefs Issue Warning for Common Acid Reflux Drug Taken by Millions Over Infection Fears!

by Zoe Hardy – MSN News

Health officials have warned that long-term use of acid reflux drugs to combat indigestion could increase the risk of developing a potentially deadly bacterial infection. 

Acid reflux—when stomach acid repeatedly flows back into the gullet—is a common cause of indigestion, and the burning pain this produces is what most people describe as

Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs), such as Omeprazole, are one of the UK's most prescribed medications in the UK to treat the condition, with 73million NHS prescriptions dispensed in England in 2022-23.

But the NHS has issued a statement warning against taking the drug for longer than 2 Weeks without a prescription, over fears it could increase the risk of Clostridioides difficile. 

Commonly referred to as C. diff, the highly contagious bug, which initially infects the bowel and causes diarrhoea, can trigger life-threatening complications. It kills up to one in five patients that fall ill with it. …

Who was Responsible for the "Sickness Industry" Setting Up the FDA
and Toxic Pesticides dominating most of Our Food Crops?…

Published on Leave a comment on Fake Counterfeit Ingredients and Dodgy Foods/Drinks – You Will Be Surprised

Most of us have heard about UPFs (Ultra-Processed Foods) hey? Some of these Items are INGREDIENTS we would maybe be using to Make Our Own Foods. It really "gets a bit much!" doesn't it? Makes us feel like telling those Manufacturers "Would you Stop Messing with Our Foods!?" OR Boycotting Them like our Grandparents and Greats did. Hey, that's a Good Idea. Think I may encourage More of That!

Orange Juice
What could be complicated about orange juice? It is made from oranges, juiced — except when it’s not. That some juice makers feel compelled to regularly pump up their product with non-orange ingredients seems far-fetched, but they do it. And in fact, orange juice is one of the most popular items to have suspect ingredients sneaked into the mix. The FFD is chock full of faux orange juices, one of the most shocking reveals a mixture of beet sugar, corn sugar, monosodium glutamate, ascorbic acid, potassium sulfate, orange pulp wash, grapefruit solids, and a byproduct from a water distillation system.…

Published on Leave a comment on You’ve Been Conned: Your “Healthy” Cereal Might Be Ruining Your Health – Don’t Trust The Front Of The Box!

Breakfast cereal might look like a quick and easy way to start your day,
but new research shows many cereals - especially those aimed at kids - are less healthy than ever.

Here's what you need to know before pouring your next bowl.

Sugar levels are on the rise

Though the increase in sugar might seem modest, many cereals already start with a high sugar content.

Most exceed recommended daily sugar limits, especially when served to children, making them a poor everyday option.

Fat content has jumped over 30 %

From 2010 to 2023, fat levels in children’s cereals increased by a staggering 33.6%.

High fat content in the morning can contribute to poor cardiovascular health and unbalanced energy levels.

Sodium is creeping up too

Sodium content rose by 32.1% across new cereal launches, which can raise blood pressure - even in children - and increase long-term heart disease risks.

Fiber is steadily decreasing

Dietary fiber dropped significantly after 2021, falling from 3.82 grams to just 2.94 grams per serving.…

Published on Leave a comment on Ways to Avoid Hormone-Disrupting Chemicals

I INTEND TO HAVE INFO FROM OTHER AUTHORS HERE

Endocrine disruptors like PFAS, BPA, and Phthalates lurk in everything
from Cleaning Products to Dust Bunnies.

By Alexandra Zissu – Author of The Conscious Kitchen and Co-Author of Planet Home and The Complete Organic Pregnancy

Recent June 2025 Article

You may remember learning in Biology Class that our bodies are run by a Network of Hormones and Glands that regulate everything we do. Most often, we think about this system—our Endocrine System—in the context of Puberty, but it actually plays a starring role in All phases of Development, Metabolism and Behavior.

Here’s the bad news: Synthetic Chemicals in products like Plastics and Fragrances can Mimic Hormones and interfere with or disrupt the Delicate Endocrine Dance. We’re exposed to these chemicals daily, and we’re especially vulnerable to them during phases of accelerated development—including throughout Childhood or a Pregnancy. Fetuses are also particularly at risk.…

Published on Leave a comment on Dodgy Derila: The Nightmare Pillow Brand Outraging Customers Globally

Australians Losing Sleep over Misleading Claims and Shady Online Sales Tactics.

CAUTION from CHOICE Magazine and Product Review (AU)

Watch This Company Folks, I was Considering, and had an Urge to quickly Check for SCAM on Google first. Glad I did. This Article came up Immediately for me. Many of you have trouble Sleeping and some of you have Sleep Apnea. I really wish SCAMMERS didn’t target the Young, the Elderly and the Unwell with their Dodgy Merchandise. Truly, they have No Shame, do they? So now for the Article.

Need to know

  • Derila's website is a minefield of 'dark patterns' – coercive web marketing techniques designed to trick online customers into making choices they don’t intend to
  • One Derila customer ordered one pillow but received six, and was automatically charged $165 extra
  • When CHOICE ordered a single Derila pillow, we were taken directly to a checkout page where four pillows were pre-selected instead of one

Ending up with extra things in your online shopping basket can be more than just frustrating, especially when you're charged for the unwanted goods and sending them back would cost way too much. …
