Published on Leave a comment on 8 Health Dangers of Canola Oil: Not the Healthy Oil We’ve Been Led to Believe

By Carly Fraser - Health Advocate and Researcher

Canola oil has practically taken over as the food processing industry’s oil of choice. Whether it’s mayonnaise, chips, or salad dressings, canola oil is usually the first, second, or third ingredient on the list. However, the health dangers of Canola oil are far beyond what we’ve been led to believe.

CANOLA: Update Your Knowledge And See If What You Have Been Told Is True!

So if there aren’t any actual health reasons to use it, why would it be so widely used throughout the food industry? As with most reasons certain ingredients are used over others – the price. Canola oil is extremely inexpensive to grow and harvest. It is also very easy to grow, due to its genetic modifications.

Canola oil was first promoted in the early 1970s as natural oil. And in 1995, Monsanto created a Genetically Modified version of Canola. By 2009, over 90 percent of the Canadian Canola Oil Crop was Genetically Engineered!

What is Canola Oil?

Canola oil comes from a descendant of the rapeseed plant, a member of the Brassica genus, along with some of our favorite vegetables like kale, broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage.…

By Janet Vargas - Natural Health Researcher

CANOLA and 'VEGETABLE OILS' and MARGARINE GO THROUGH A TOXIC CHEMICAL PROCESS and are Not the 'Healthy Products' the Manufacturers claim they are. Please Read!

Please read the other Post I am writing parallel to this one HERE about REAL FOODS. You will want to "Side with Nature" when you read the following. I am committed to Caring about the "Health & Happiness" of Australians and think you have the right to know these things. If you are an advocate for Low-Fat Diets and Polyunsaturated Oils, hopefully you will think again after reading about the benefits of NUTRITIOUS OILS that offer much more than Cheap Veggie Oil and Canola Manufacturers claim to give you.

The claims are found to be false and misleading. They promise to “save you from cholesterol” and overweight……… the Oils high in Monounsaturates like Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Macadamia Oil and Avocado Oil are the ones that help to keep our LDL Cholesterol Level Low, not the Polyunsaturates. And people put on weight with them anyway but no-one thinks about that. Modern Day Charlatans are many in the Food Industry - highly skilled in crafting lies to get your confidence - they have no conscience, so we really do need to be careful.…

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Years

YES, THEY PROMOTE OUR HEALTH RATHER THAN DEMOTE IT. FOOD MANUFACTURERS HAVE THOUGHT OF ONE CLEVER DEMISE AFTER THE OTHER, PROMOTING SYNTHETIC AND PSUEDO FOODS WE ARE NOT MEANT TO INGEST - INFLUENCING GOVERNMENT HEALTH DEPARTMENTS AND ALL, MAKING THEIR ARGUMENTS SOUND LEGIT, MAKING THE PUBLIC SICK. AND BIG PHARMA WITH THEIR MEDICAL AGENTS HAVE BEEN ONLY TOO HAPPY TO RAKE IN THE PROFITS. BUT AN AWAKENING IS STIRRING THE HEARTS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE DISCOVERING THE BENEFITS OF REAL FOODS: YES OLD THINGS BECOME NEW. THIS IS INSTIGATED BY PROFESSIONAL NATURAL HEALTH ADVOCATES AND MANY HEALTH SCIENTISTS ALIKE WHO ARE NOW SIDING WITH NATURE, PROMOTING IT'S MERITS AND IT'S WAYS.

I Will Show You Some Real Health Promoting Foods That Are So Beneficial For Our Health That Have Been Drastically Altered Or Replaced (they now clash with our natural body chemistry) In Western Countries Like Australia, And A Few Really Beneficial Foods that are Very Nutritious for our Families!

Through the years in Australia – and Western Countries – we have been buying foods that are so different to food staples our Great Grandparents had and our Great Greats.…

By Janet Vargas - Natural Health Researcher

It Concerns Me When I See So Many Women Buying Lots Of Low-Fat, No-Fat Groceries For The Family (Kids And All) Setting Themselves And Their Kids Up For Being Cranky Because Healthy Fats Help To Cushion Our Nervous System. Our Brain And Heart Also Require Their Share - This Is Vital INFO You Are About To Read!

Extra Virgin Olive Oil - The choice of Healthy Mediterraneans

I intend to put a few very important things STRAIGHT on this page concerning the popular Low Fat Diet and the Cholesterol Scare Campaign and show you that the concerns raised about Fat-Intake are NOT VALID. There will be some cutting-edge knowledge Revealed by True Experts and an appeal to common sense. We need to know the REAL FACTS!

Low Fat Lies!

The Low-Fat Craze that commenced in the 90's has taken so many by storm and convinced most of the Medical Profession and Governments through Misinformation that "Fat is bad for You"..... "Watch your Weight"....."Watch your Cholesterol". And people are convinced this is true to the point of even changing the family meals to accommodate these concerns and leaving HEALTHY FATS out of their children's diets - that presents an imbalance to necessary NUTRITION.…

Published on Leave a comment on The Benefits Of Wholesome ‘Spelt’ Ancient Grains Instead Of ‘Modern Wheat’

MANY OF US HAVE BECOME AWARE OF HOW ANTI-NUTRITIONAL WHEAT (Modern Wheat) IS, HAVING BEEN HYBRIDISED SO MANY TIMES - IT'S GLUTEN IS ACTUALLY BAD FOR EVERYONE, NOT JUST CELIACS. THERE IS ALSO A SURGE OF INTEREST IN ANCIENT GRAINS LIKE SPELT AND QUINOA AND KHORASAN WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN HYBRIDISED. JUST RECENTLY, I HAD MY FIRST EXPERIENCE MAKING SPELT BREAD AND SPELT & KHORASAN BREAD IN A BREADMAKER. HAVE BEEN MAKING A FEW TOO MANY EXCEPTIONS WITH WHEAT CRACKERS AND SEED BREADS (basically wheat bread) AT ALDI'S. NOW I CAN MAKE MY OWN and NO NEED FOR CRACKERS, MY WHOLESOME BREAD IS NATURALLY CRISPY ON THE OUTSIDE AND SOFT INSIDE. YUM!

What Is Spelt?

Spelt is an ancient grain widely recognized for its many health benefits. Triticum spelta, the scientific name for spelt, is a hardier and more nutritious cousin to modern wheat (Triticum aestivum). Some taxonomists classify spelt as a parent of wheat.

One of the earliest domesticated grains, spelt hasn’t changed since Biblical times. It remains unaffected by concepts such as ‘agribusiness’, ‘cross-breeding,’ ‘hybridization’ and ‘genetically modified’ – words that have come to dominate our modern food supply.…

Published on Leave a comment on Misleading Sweeteners: Stop Messing With Our Health!

Watch out for Synthetic Sweeteners Masquerading as Natural Sweeteners!

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW

These Manufacturers Have NO Conscience!

ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS – SWEET NOTHINGS FOR YOUR HEALTH?

Artificial sweeteners have been considered a solution to the problems caused by sugar intake. They lack calories and are advertised as a healthy alternative to high fructose corn syrup and sugar. However, studies have shown that consuming artificial sweeteners might make you gain weight faster than if you were consuming regular sugar. Artificial sweeteners slow your metabolism and ultimately trigger you to eat more. The three main ingredients in artificial sweeteners — aspartame, saccharin, and acesulfate potassium — have all been linked to cancer as well as Alzheimer’s disease, autism, chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease.

I used to use them too (not me, the writer) thinking they were better when compared to sugar since it’s what I was taught in school when I was studying to be a dietitian. If dietitians use and recommend them, it is no wonder we believe they’re good for us, right? Well, as research repeatedly shows, there may not be any good reasons to support the notion that artificial sweeteners are beneficial to us.…

Published on 2 Comments on GMOs (Genetically Modified Foods) And Pesticides: How Safe Are They Really?

By Janet Vargas - Natural Health Researcher

Extensive Reading. Recently Updated.

Friends, You Need To Know The True Facts On Monsanto's GMOs And Glyphosates. Misleading Information Abounds And Comes From Surprising Places (you don’t expect). It’s Alright To Be Cautious. We Need To Be These Days. There Are Big Profits And So Much Greed Out There, As Most Of Us Know.

This Post Will Show Pro GMO Supporters And INFO Sources To Be Very Ignorant Or Deliberately Misleading. Some Intelligent People Suspect Big Pharma And The Chemical Industry To Be Close Allies, Due To So Many People Getting Sick From Chemicals And Then They Have Chemical Drugs Prescribed To Them By Their MD/GPs.

That would not surprise me if it is so because concerns I address in Research on damages caused by Medical Drugs and Agricultural Chemicals goes pretty much hand in hand - generally speaking. It is interesting to note here that BAYER Manufactures make Both. If you do a Google search for Bayer Pharmaceuticals and Bayer Agriculture Products, I think you may be surprised what you find.

Can you see the question that comes to mind when researching? It's a possibility that Big Ag and Big Pharma and the Food Giant companies who are so persistent in adding Chemicals to almost everything we but in the Supermarkets have been close Allies for decades.…

Published on Leave a comment on Why Is There So Much SOY In Everything? We Should Stand Up To These Manufacturers!

“NO, I DON’T WANT SOY WITH THAT”

Diet Shakes With Soy (added) Bread With Soy, Schnitzel With Soy, Burgers With Soy, Quiche With Soy, Chorizo With Soy Etc Get The Picture? And Everyone Says “YES!”……….”We Don’t Want Soy!” It’s In Almost Everything You Can Think Of. Yes Anything You Can Imagine, If You Haven’t Checked The Packets, Cans And Labels. And We Should Tell Them “NO! I’m Not Buying That”……..Your Best Way To Protest is: Speak Up And Leave The Products On The Shelves (this is more effective in numbers, the more of us the better, don’t wait for someone else). Tell The Cafes, Bakeries And Restaurants “NO SOY”……. Give These Manufacturers, Shops And Venues A Hard Time, So They Have To Take Notice Of Us. Enough IS Enough. They’ve Placed Enough Impositions On Us (for convenience, to cut corners) Lets Impose Our Standards On Them – We’re Far Too Passive, We Didn’t Speak Up. Friends, We Need To Do This.

I Will Give You Enough Reasons To In This Post. Is SOY Healthy? NO! One Of The Major Mistakes Made By Professionals And Health Stores Alike And Now We Have This Problem.…
