Published on Leave a comment on The Apple Wax Scare Revived From The 80s And The Real Facts For You – Including With Strawberries – It’s False!

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs

Hi Friends, this has to do with Claims, there's Aluminum-Fluoride in Apple Wax. Apparently Not. And Neither or those Chemicals are allowed to be placed on our Food. It came from some Scare Mongers in America back in the 80s and has been found to be wrong. When Use of the Internet commenced, that Rumor was used again, and it exists to this day because it went Viral. As if we need any more Scares about Food Chemicals hey? Because there are so many Real Ones that do exist.

So just to let you feel less intimidated by the "Aluminum-Fluoride" Scare many of us had some time back that lingers in the thoughts of many concerned and health-conscious people, I will place this AI Info here for you. OK? Some AI Info at times is not correct, and I have run this Question through 2 AI Apps.

Skipping The Apple and Strawberry Toxic Wax Concerns -
Apparently Not True!

This Article will also cover the Scare about Wax being used on Strawberries too. Apples do have a Natural Wax type Coating and so do Strawberries.…

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

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 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

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 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.…

Published on Leave a comment on 10 Things You Can Do Every Day To Support Your Brain Health and Things To Watch Out For

by Sara Moniuszko, USA TODAY

Want to protect your brain health as you age? Experts say there are things
you can do that make a difference.

According to the Alzheimer's Association's annual report released earlier this month, many health factors can influence brain function later in life. For example, daily behaviors that benefit physical health − like regular movement, good sleep and a nutritious diet − also play a central role in delaying cognitive decline.

While the organization notes it's "never too early or too late to start" incorporating these habits, it's particularly relevant during Midlife, when the long-term implications of a "cognitive reserve" are more apparent.

"Cognitive reserve works like a mental savings account: The more one adds to the account throughout life, including in their late 30s through their early 60s, the more they can withdraw later if the brain is affected by cognitive-related diseases," the report adds.

To help maintain a healthy brain, incorporate some or all of these habits into your life, the organization suggests:

  1. Challenge your brain. Keep mentally active through new or challenging activities, the organization suggests. Examples include learning a new skill or language, reading difficult material or learning to play a challenging strategy game.
