Published on Leave a comment on Low Cholesterol and Its Psychological Effects – Cautions Against Statins…Phew!

By Dr James M. Greenblatt M.D - Psychology Today 2011

HERE'S A GOOD ARTICLE TO STRENGTHEN THE ARGUMENT THAT Cholesterol Is Our Friend, Not Our Enemy AND STATINS AREN'T SUCH A GOOD IDEA LIKE THEY'RE PURPORTED TO BE. IN FACT, THERE ARE SEVERAL ARTICLES ON THE NET THAT REPORT THEM TO BE A MEDICAL SCAM AND Big Pharma's Biggest Cash Cow! FOR MOST PEOPLE, WE NEED NOT BE CONCERNED ABOUT CHOLESTEROL, YET BIG PHARMA KEEPS PRESSING FOR MORE and MORE "Patients" TO BE ON THEIR STATIN DRUGS With Very Uncomfortable and sometimes Serious Side Effects. PLUS, DID YOU NOTICE THAT BIG PHARMA KEEPS Lowering The Bar, What They Say Our Cholesterol Should Be, In Recent Years? So Obvious. A NATURAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL COULD SERVE YOU BETTER. YES REALLY!

Low Cholesterol is Linked to Depression, Suicide, and Violence

Mark, a 43 year-old executive, saw his doctor for his Annual Physical. Reviewing his laboratory tests, the doctor noted that Mark's total cholesterol level was for the first time over 200mg/dL.

As a preventative measure the doctor prescribed a Statin, a class of Cholesterol-Lowering Drugs. His cholesterol levels declined, and so did his Mood.…

Published on Leave a comment on A Comprehensive List Of Affects Sugar Has In Our Brain and Body at Different Ages

Firstly it is important for everyone to know these things about sugar before some Info I'm going to give you.....that sugar is NOT a 'Natural Food'.....But we should STAY CLEAR of the likes of Aspartame, Splenda, Sweet n Low, Erythritol AND Other Sweeteners that are 10x more damaging to our health.

Sugars including white, brown and 'raw sugar' and even some 'organic' actually undergo a Synthetic Process that separates the chemical bonds of the syrup found in sugar cane. The sugar crystals are actually manufactured through heating and mechanical and chemical processing that leaves it void of any nutrients....that applies to ALL sugars above. This finished product called sugar_ white, raw OR organic is anything but natural and in fact it is classed by true professionals as a toxic substance and an addictive drug with an Anti-Nutrient affect in our body …..compromising our physical health in ways we are not always aware of and damaging to Brain and Nerve Cells over time.

DID YOU KNOW THAT SUGAR SHUTS DOWN THE IMMUNE SYSTEM FOR 4 - 6 HOURS?

AND IT STRESSES YOU OUT SO YOU GO FOR MORE SUGAR. WHAT A DOUBLE WHAMMY!?…

Published on Leave a comment on I Don’t Trust ANY “Sweeteners” This Is WHY – For Your Protection Please Read

Concerning the LIES and False Reports that are maintained about Popular Sweeteners to this day, due to Lobbyers from Manufacturers who have lots of Influence on Dietitians and Governments alike, you can forget All that you have been previously told.

As a Researcher many years now, I find a few Medical Websites like Healthline and Others Notorious for having some Very Good Information - which Medicos don't practice anyway because Big Pharma won't let them - and some Very Bad Information that Medicos are deliberately taught to believe. It is an established fact they get ALL their Education from Big Pharma (Medical drug Related) in fact some MD/GPs who have left the Medical Establishment out of conscience report they were only given 3 Hours in Total on Nutrition in their 4 Years of Training. So such Websites like Healthline and WebMD for instance, are a VERY MIXED BAG if you "don't have Your Wits about You" and Know what you're Looking For. Do be informed.

And "respected" Harvard University researchers published their Sugar Industry-Backed Literature review in 1967.…

Published on Leave a comment on The Erythritol Loophole in “Healthy” Beverages – Very Deceptive – Don’t Trust It!

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs

Yes don't trust the Sweetener Either Folks, because even Organic Companies have fallen for this Trap when it was Marketed as "Natural" a Safe Alternative to Artificial Sweeteners like Aspartame and Splenda etc. Personally, through pretty strong Instincts, I was wary of it for a very long time. And the thing is, it's even used in all the Kombuchas that are sold out there.

No, it's Not Natural, like "almost anything else out there" in the Supermarkets (figure of speech) and I have etc data on it than I've already given you previously. Like I've said, those Health Companies some Organic Companies included, should not have taken things on Face Value - they should have Practiced Due Diligence!

The Erythritol Loophole in "Healthy" Beverages

Food conglomerates have masterfully weaponised terms like "all-natural" and "zero sugar" to pivot health-conscious consumers toward over-processed, shelf-stable liquids. [1, 2]

  • Commercial Kombuchas: While authentic kombucha requires real cane sugar to feed the live bacteria culture, many massive commercial brands (such as Remedy Kombucha and Nexba) let the brew ferment completely bone-dry until no sugar remains.

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 Feijoas: The Cute Little Fruit That Tastes Really Good and Benefits Your Health!

Feijoa that little green fruit that grows on a shrub type tree, they're absolutely gorgeous! Closely related to Guavas, they are often referred to as the Pineapple Guava. These small green fruits are reminiscent of kiwis. They are egg-shaped, and the inner flesh can be scooped out and eaten along with the pulp and seeds. The texture is similar to a pear while the flavor is slightly citrusy and sweet.

Wow, what a Tasty Little Fruit!

Feijoas are best enjoyed when soft and ripe. They grow mostly in South America, Brazil, Australia and New Zealand and grow on a species of the Myrtle tree. The flowers are exceptionally pretty and the fruit is about the size of an egg – some bigger, some smaller, depending on the variety. The flesh has a sweet aromatic, juicy flavor, which tastes like a combination of pineapple, apple and mint. They have a clear gelatinous pulp just like guavas, with a pleasant grainy texture that makes for a taste sensation.

Whether you are eating the fruit for its health benefits or its exotic taste, you will benefit from its impressive nutrient content. There is a high level of vitamin C as well as a diverse selection of B vitamins and trace amounts of vitamin E, K and A.…

Published on Leave a comment on Nutrients and Benefits in Guavas – They Are Delicious and Healthy!

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs

Guavas are so refreshing and cooling in drinks. You can make a nice Apple and Guava juice at home – what a treat! It's a popular combination: Apple for the sweetness and Guava for the irresistible taste.....or.....simply scoop one with a spoon, fresh from a tree maybe:) They also make delicious fruit spread. Try using Coconut Sugar instead of cane sugar – it's much healthier for you. In fact, 100% fruit spreads are becoming increasingly popular and we can follow that example at home.

Buy Guavas Or Grow Them

Guava is a Nutritious Fruit with many health benefits, such as Increasing Immunity,
improving Heart Health, and enhancing Digestion.

Eating Guava fruit during pregnancy is Safe and for people with Diabetes.
However, it should be in Moderation.
