Toms Blog on Life and Livingness
The original poster wrote: At Christmas, women apologized to their husbands for the mistakes committed during the year. Let’s not let this good customs get lost.
Tom’s addition: I think a reciprocal arrangement would do a lot to restore harmony in the home. And to the female commenter who said if men had to do it the practce would take until Easter, you especially need to do this! 🙂
It has long been suspected by many nutrition professionals (myself included) that all fructose is not created equal, and studies are starting to illustrate the different impacts on your health from natural fructose versus HFCS.
Research performed in November 2018 by the Clinical Nutrition and Risk Factor Modification Centre of St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto, Canada showed that natural fructose in the form of fresh fruit and fruit juice, when consumed in reasonable amounts and not to excess, did not have a harmful effect on blood sugar and insulin levels.
Plus the fruit’s fiber and nutrients were added healthy bonuses.
On the other hand, foods and drinks sweetened with HFCS had a definite harmful metabolic effect and raised the risk of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes considerably.
And as if that’s not enough, HFCS is typically made with GE corn to boot, so you’re taking in cancer-causing glyphosate with every sip or bite.

While this good attempt is very much appreciated, it does not lay the subject or the debate to rest. I’m afraid the set appears to be seriously incomplete and there is a lack of consensus on it as presented. It is missing a splash, a trifle, a tinge and a dollop, a wee bit and a slurp and one commenter thought a tad was less than not greater than a dash. If you have a definitive reference it would resolve some confusions…
And if you don’t know, there are over 1,000 different types of gluten in various grains, 40 of which are more toxic than the Gliadin in wheat which is the only one tested for gluten intolerance. For instance corn has one rated at 59 where the gliadin in wheat is rated at a concentration level of 62!
When vaccine dangers hit main stream news you know the truth is winning big time!

Iceland has gained the admiration of populists in recent years by doing that which no other nation in the world seems to be willing or capable of doing: prosecuting criminal bankers for engineering financial collapse for profit.
Among the side effects caused by prescription medications, only the severe ones seem to grab the public’s attention. Relatively milder adverse outcomes, such as ototoxicity, are usually ignored, no matter how common they may be. As a result, there is a considerable chance that your medicine cabinet currently contains a drug that can permanently and irreversibly damage your sense of hearing.
What’s worrisome is that the drugs noted for being ototoxic – toxic to your ears – include those that are easily obtainable. Common over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen and acitaminophen (Tylenol) are two of the drugs on the list – when used two or more times in a single week, they can increase your risk of suffering from hearing loss.
The effect is caused by damage to the sensory hair cells in your inner ear. These small hairs are very sensitive and even minor damage to them can impede their ability to translate sound into nerve impulses that your brain can “hear.”
In most cases, the effect is reversible. For example, aspirin, another mainstay in many home medicine cabinets in the U.S., causes hearing loss when used more than twice a week, but the effect disappears once usage of the drug is stopped. But considering the variety of ototoxic medications there are on the market, ranging from common medications like pain relievers and antibiotics to more complex examples like chemo drugs and medication used for erectile dysfunction, it may not take long to damage them permanently because if you cause your ears enough damage it becomes irreversible.
Unfortunately, the effect comes on suddenly and without warning. You could be hearing just fine today but not tomorrow. You can take several steps to lower your risk of suffering from hearing loss, but limiting your use of – if not downright avoiding – OTC and prescription medications and opting for natural alternatives is one of the best ways to go about it.
Good to know these things about one of my ingredients!
