Category: Tide Of Commercialism

This is about the Incessant Greed of Manufacturers to Empty our Pockets with Constant Updating of Tech Devices; Addictive Foods, so we Consume More. Etc Commercialism speaks of Maximizing Profits at Our Expense. They do this by Cutting Costs and making Inferior Products; most of them are Cheapskates offering Less for More; they Villainise True Healthy Foods to Promote Inferior, Detrimental Products; they Brainwash us by Repetition into Buying More; they Compete against each-other for Our Dollars. I Show You Ways We Can Overcome It in Our Homes.

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 2 Comments on Why Do Some Health Advocates Promote Keto? So Baffling – It’s Not A Good Idea!

YES, YOU READ THAT RIGHT - IT'S ACTUALLY A DUMB IDEA, AND PROVEN TO BE SO RISKY FOR MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE REGRETS. FIRSTLY BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE, JUST LIKE THE CARNIVORE DIET, INVENTERS OF THOSE HAVE SO MESSED AROUND WITH THE BASIC DIETARY REQUIREMENTS FOR EVERYONE'S FOOD INTAKE, WHICH IS A BALANCE OF HEALTHY PROTEINS, HEALTHY FATS and HEALTHY COMPLEX CARBS (not cheap nasty refined carbs and junk foods) KETO and CARNAVORE GO TO EXTREMES TO CORRECT POOR FOOD CHOICES and EATING HABITS, BUT AT THE SAME TIME VIOLATE OUR NEED FOR A BALANCED DIET - OUR BODY FUNCTIONS BEST ON (A SENSIBLE REAL FOOD DIET. SO INSTEAD OF DEFENDING OR PROMOTING KETO LIKE SOME ADVOCATES DO (which is baffling indeed and defies commonsense) I WILL GIVE YOU REASONS TO QUESTION AGUMENTS FOR KETO (Keto Keto, Keto Keto Brainwashing) Daaah! How do they get it so Wrong? IT'S BEYOND ME!!!!

Please be sparing with hard Cheeses like Tasty, Cheddar and Vintage Etc when you wish to Take Off Weight though because what Fattens Cows to "Make More Milk" often, can make You Fat too or Keep the Weight on.

Seriously - Forget Dodgy Keto!…

Published on Leave a comment on Is SOY Good Or Bad For You? What Do Honest Health Advocates Say?

We shall See! I found an Article by a Renowned Natural Practicing Scientist recently who is Very Good with a Lot of Things to do with Foods, Diet and Nutrition who likes Soyabeans and I found it baffling because "he would know better" I said to myself
in astonishment. Then I realised, he is Asian and lives in a Western Country.
So there's obviously personal sentiments involved. I try not to do that with Research and Articles I place on my Websites. And being an Independent Natural Health Researcher (Part-Time) makes me Keen to keep to True Facts, and Balanced Info 
compared to some Professionals I've seen out there. They make those Unscrupulous Manufacturers very happy, I'm sure. And in some instances, they are paid Big Bucks to Endorse Soy, Canola and Seed Oils that are Compromising people's Health - believe it or not - this has been going on for Decades "behind your backs" and is Nothing New to Natural Health Researchers like myself.

And what is really grievious to Dedicated Researchers is when some "Health Professionals" have a "Blind Spot" regarding SOY that stems from Early Misinformation they have not Corrected or Cared to do so.…

Published on Leave a comment on Nutritious Foods Way to Help Take Some Weight Off…..Diet Kits are a Gimmick, a Rip-Off for Profits!

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Yrs

Hi Girls and Guys, the Truth is that Diet Kits are more of a Gimmick, a Marketing Ploy. I remember the Herbalife bunch of Supplements; the Jenny Craig bunch of Mini Cans; and the Lemon Diet the Chemist sold years ago - but Pharmacies are even known to have Toxic Aspartame in their "Weightloss Products" that prevents you from taking off Weight anyway. Yes, Synthetic Sweeteners do that. So do Toxic Canola and Seed Oils. I have Articles on those. No-Fat Low-Fat Diets don't work because we need a Moderate amount of True Healthy Fats in our Diet because "Without Fats we cannot take Off Fat" it's the way Our Body Works. The No-Fat Low-Fat Diets make us Stressed and/or Cranky anyway because Our Brain and Nerve Cells need some Nourishing Fats to Function Smoothly. But don't go Crazy Keto with Excess Fat - it's very Unhealthy and Ridiculous! You don't need that.

WHAT WRETCHES THEY ARE!!!
LET'S SHOW CONTEMPT WHERE CONTEMT IS DUE - BOYCOT THEM!

Article from MSN News

One in five food and drink products in the US contain Synthetic Colorings linked to health problems, a Major Study has found. Concerns have been rising for years about the increased use of the dyes, which studies have suggested may cause cancer. Now, researchers have discovered just how prevalent they are in America's food supply.

According to the Team from the University of North Carolina nearly 40,000 packaged food and beverage products manufactured by the top 25 food and beverage companies in the US, including Kraft Heinz Co., Nestle and Coca-Cola Co. In total, 19 percent of all products analyzed contained at least one Petroleum-Based Dye, the most common being Red 40. Red 40, which was found in about 14 percent of the products tested, has previously been associated with Childhood Behavioral Problems, Cancer and Infertility.

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.

That’s a big problem for digestion, fullness, and maintaining a healthy weight.

Protein Has Taken A Hit

Protein content fell from an average of 1.97 grams to 1.69 grams per serving over 14 years.…

Published on Leave a comment on A Scientist Who Studies Ultra-Processed Foods Follows 3 Simple Rules To Help Him Stop Overeating

By Kim Schewitz - Nutrition Researcher

  • Ultra-processed foods tend to be energy-dense and soft, making them easy to overeat.
  • Sam Dicken, a nutrition researcher, tries to avoid UPFs because he naturally has a big appetite.
  • He shared how he avoids overeating without checking labels, such as by considering a food's texture.

Sam Dicken is a scientist who researches the potential harms of ultra-processed foods, like store-bought cookies and pizza. Despite what he knows, these kinds of food are often manufactured to be so easy to overeat that even he struggles to control himself around them.

"My appetite is huge," the researcher at the Centre for Obesity Research at UCL
in London told Business Insider. "I find it really easy to just keep on eating."

But Dicken has a few clever tricks to practice moderation when eating less nutritious foods, which go beyond simply trying to decipher from the label whether they're ultra-processed.

UPFs are made with ingredients you wouldn't find in a regular kitchen,
such as stabilizers and gums, and are highly marketed and shelf-stable.

Part of what makes them so easy to overeat is that this combination can make UPFs hyperpalatable — meaning they contain an appetizing combination of fat, salt, or sugar and are soft in texture, Dicken said.…
