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!?…

YOU WILL ALL DO WELL TO READ REAL FACTS ABOUT THESE 3 GOVERNING BODIES BECAUSE OF THE EVIDENCE AGAINST THEM. SORRY TO TELL YOU THE THIRD ONE (TGA) IS ACTUALLY AUSTRALIAN. ALL THESE THINGS GO ON "Behind Our Backs" SO IT'S FOOLISH TO PUT TOO MUCH TRUST IN THEM. OK?

My Search Questions are in RED to stand out for your Convenience.

I would like to have a List of Natural Health Advocates
who Caution people about the FDA as being Corrupt, thanks.

Prominent figures and health organizations frequently criticize the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These critics argue that the agency has deep systemic corruption, regulatory capture, and conflicts of interest with major food and pharmaceutical corporations.

The primary natural health advocates, independent researchers, and consumer watchdogs who publicly caution the market about the FDA include:

Natural Health Advocates & Independent Authors

  • Dr. Joseph Mercola: A prominent natural health advocate and osteopathic physician who runs one of the most visited alternative health websites. He frequently publishes articles accusing the FDA of operating as a "rubber stamp" for the pharmaceutical and biotech industries.

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.

Cabbage is highly nutritious and rich in vitamin C, fibre, and vitamin K. Some research suggests that it may have health benefits that include supporting digestion and heart health, among others.

Despite its impressive nutrient content, cabbage is often overlooked.

While it may look a lot like lettuce, it actually belongs to the Brassica genus of vegetables, which includes broccoli, radishes, and Brussels sprouts (1).

It comes in a variety of shapes and colors, including red, purple, white, and green, and its leaves can be either crinkled or smooth.

This vegetable has been grown around the world for thousands of years and can be found in a variety of dishes, including sauerkraut, kimchi, and coleslaw.

Additionally, cabbage is loaded with vitamins and minerals.

Did you know Australia has a reputation for "The World's Greatest Pill Poppers?"
You may want to Pop a lot Less when you read this!

An Article I Spotted On British Vogue!

I’ll never forget hearing Dr Chris van Tulleken – the renowned physician and author of Ultra-Processed People: Why Do We All Eat Stuff That Isn’t Food… And Why Can’t We Stop? – compare a protein bar to meth. Or, rather, he suggested that eating one was akin to the “first hit” of meth. The comparison forms part of his wider campaign to wake both the public and the government up to the dangers of ultra-processed foods, which he describes as “industrially produced edible substances”, products he argues have no place on British shelves.

The lack of regulation and meaningful quality control now endemic in the wellness industry raises an uncomfortable question too: could similar parallels be drawn to magnesium, ashwagandha, omega-3 and countless other supplements we are enthusiastically mainlining in the name of health? In our pursuit of optimisation, balance and longevity, have supplements quietly become the new ultra-processed foe?…

(Combining Info from Websites and AI Overview)

Here on this Page are some Safe Guidelines for Improving Your Liver Health and dealing with a Fatty Liver - it is very common these days. Please remember you need to have Adequate Sleep (7-8 Hrs) and two 15 Min Walks each day OR 5-8 Min Walks 10-15 Mins after 3 Meals a day. If you do a few things to Manage Stress Levels, that will also help.

Have you been feeling unusually fatigued lately, dealing with a persistent sluggishness, or experiencing a dull discomfort in the upper right side of your abdomen? If you have recently been diagnosed with Hepatic Steatosis—commonly known as Fatty Liver disease—it can feel quite alarming.

Your liver is your body’s ultimate, unsung superhero. It silently performs over 500 vital functions every single day, acting as a master filter that cleanses your blood, synthesizes crucial proteins, processes nutrients, and metabolizes fats. However, when excess fat builds up in liver cells, this silent powerhouse begins to struggle, dragging your metabolic energy and overall vitality down with it.

Yes. Moderate movement around the house combined with three 5–8 minute walks after meals can help protect against nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, especially when done consistently.

The effect isn't dramatic from the walks alone, but it can be meaningful over time because physical activity:

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.…
