Diet Poison

Numerous studies over the past several years have reported links between diet soda and weight gain, diabetes, heart problems, and other health issues. Most recently, headlines sounded alarms about a higher chance of dementia and stroke among diet soda drinkers.

The problem, the artificial sweeteners (mainly aspartame) used to sweeten sodas. Research has shown that artificial sweeteners affect gut bacteria, which in turn affect your metabolism.

Why Your Diet Soda May Cause Weight Gain

One possible explanation for the link between diet sodas and weight gain and diabetes risk: The artificial sweeteners in diet soft drinks may trick you into overcompensating, or eating a greater number calories than you normally would, says Christopher Gardner, PhD, director of nutrition studies at the Stanford Prevention Research Center.

Due to these studies, demand and sales have plummeted as consumers try to make healthier beverage choices.

According to the largest study done by The University of Iowa:

In comparison to women that never or only rarely consume diet drinks, those who consume two or more a day are 30 percent more likely to have a cardiovascular problem and 50 percent more likely to die from related disease.

According to Dr. Ankur Vyas, it is the largest studies on this topic, and our findings are consistent with some previous data, especially those linking diet drinks to the metabolic syndrome.

I could not agree more with this post! For the last 100 years we have been sold down the river by successive liberal and labor governments and it’s high time we as a populace woke up to the insanity of swapping between those two horse each election race.

We need to ditch the two major parties and start electing representatives who stand for we the people.

Representatives more loyal to their constituents than a party or their political donors.

We need people in parliament who understand the present system delivers the present problems and that to prevent the problems we need to alter the system. The system isn’t broken, it is working as designed! We need a new system! One where corporations with the money to make large political donations do not dictate political, economic and environemental decisions.

I disagree with the violence of the French protestors. Violence is not a workable or sustainable solution. I do agree that we the people need to take a more active role in determining the outcome of decisions made in parliament as we as individuals and as a country are suffering from the way those decisions are being made at present.

THIS type of bread is easiest to digest and better for blood sugar than most breads

Sourdough_Bread

Bread gets a lot of bashing these days, especially in light of ‘low-carb’ or Paleo diets. And there is good reason for it—bread (even whole grain bread) contains gluten, and can contribute to inflammation in the body–especially the gut, and even the healthier ‘whole grain’ versions of bread can increase the blood sugar levels dramatically… In fact, some blood sugar tests have shown that 2 slices of “whole wheat” bread can spike blood sugar as high as an equivalent amount of calories of pure table sugar.

Gluten free bread can often be just as bad or worse, with its highly refined grains and starches. However, one particular type of bread is far healthier and easier to digest and it’s been around for centuries…

Sourdough bread is made in an entirely different way than commercially prepared breads and gluten free breads. Sourdough is a fermented bread, and the fermentation process makes it easier to digest and less likely to spike blood sugar levels, while also making the gluten in sourdough bread easier to digest than standard white, wheat, or multigrain breads.

Vaccinated vs. Unvaccinated: Mawson Homeschooled Study Reveals Who is Sicker

Vaccinated vs. Unvaccinated: Mawson Homeschooled Study Reveals Who is Sicker

It’s never been done before. The first-of-its-kind study of vaccinated vs. unvaccinated American homeschooled children shows who is really ailing…and parents should be worried

Something is wrong with America’s children. They are sick – allergic, asthmatic, anxious, autoimmune, autistic, hyperactive, distracted and learning disabled. Thirty-two million American children – a full 43% of them – suffer from at least one of 20 chronic illnesses not including obesity. Across the board, once rare pediatric disorders from autism and ADD to Type 1 diabetes and Tourette’s syndrome are soaring, though few studies pool the data. Compared to their parents, children today are four times more likely to have a chronic illness. And while their grandparents might never have swallowed a pill as children, the current generation of kids is a pharmaceutical sales rep’s dream come true: More than one million American children under five years old takes a psychiatric drug. More than 8.3 million kids under 17 have consumed psychiatric drugs, and in any given month one in four is taking at least one prescription drug for something.

Fast food, bad genes, too much TV, video games, pesticides, plastics – name the environmental factor and it has been implicated in the surge of sickness, although none adequately explains the scale or scope of the epidemic. There is one exposure, however, that has evaded the search, despite that children have received it by direct injection in steadily accumulating doses far beyond anything past generations ever saw: 50 doses of 14 vaccines by age six, 69 doses of 16 pharmaceutical vaccines containing powerfully immune-altering ingredients by age 18.

We’re assured vaccines are “safe and effective” even though public health officials acknowledge they sometimes have serious side-effects including death and despite the troubling fact that no long-term study of their effects on overall health has ever been conducted. Remarkably, not a single published study has ever compared vaccinated kids to unvaccinated kids to see who is healthier years after the shots. Until now.

A pilot study of 666 homeschooled six to 12-year-olds from four American states published on April 27th in the Journal of Translational Sciences, compared 261 unvaccinated children with 405 partially or fully vaccinated children, and assessed their overall health based on their mothers’ reports of vaccinations and physician-diagnosed illnesses. What it found about increases in immune-mediated diseases like allergies and neurodevelopmental diseases including autism, should make all parents think twice before they ever vaccinate again:

* Vaccinated children were over four-fold more likely to be diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum (OR 4.3)

* Vaccinated children were 30-fold more likely to be diagnosed with allergic rhinitis (hay fever) than non-vaccinated children

* Vaccinated children were 22-fold more likely to require an allergy medication than unvaccinated children

* Vaccinated children were over five-fold more likely to be diagnosed with a learning disability than unvaccinated children (OR 5.2)

* Vaccinated children were 340 percent more likely to be diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder than unvaccinated children (OR 4.3)

* Vaccinated children were 5.9-fold more likely to have been diagnosed with pneumonia than unvaccinated children

*Vaccinated children were 3.8-fold more likely to be diagnosed with middle ear infection (otitis media) than unvaccinated children (OR 3.8)

*Vaccinated children were 700 percent more likely to have had surgery to insert ear drainage tubes than unvaccinated children (OR 8.1)

* Vaccinated children were 2.4-fold more likely to have been diagnosed with any chronic illness than unvaccinated children

Lead vaccine developer of Gardasil comes clean says ‘adverse side effects much greater than risk of cervical cancer’

Dr Diane Harper

Lead vaccine developer of Gardasil comes clean says ‘adverse side effects much greater than risk of cervical cancer’

Dr. Harper explained in her presentation that the cervical cancer risk in the U.S. is already extremely low, and that vaccinations are unlikely to have any effect upon the rate of cervical cancer in the United States.

In fact, 70% of all HPV infections resolve themselves without treatment within a year, and the number rises to well over 90% in two years. Harper also mentioned the safety angle. All trials of the vaccines were done on children aged 15 and above, despite them currently being marketed for 9-year-olds.

So far, 15,037 girls have reported adverse side effects from Gardasil alone to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (V.A.E.R.S.) and this number only reflects parents who underwent the hurdles that are required for reporting adverse reactions.

At the time of writing, 44 girls are officially known to have died from these vaccines. The reported side effects include Guillain Barré Syndrome (paralysis lasting for years, or permanently — sometimes eventually causing suffocation), lupus, seizures, blood clots, and brain inflammation. Parents are usually not made aware of these risks.

Women Apologising At Christmas

Women Apologising At Christmas

The original poster wrote: At Christmas, women apologized to their husbands for the mistakes committed during the year. Let’s not let this good custom get lost.

(Tom: 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 practice would take until Easter, you especially need to do this! 🙂

Thinking more on it, you could do worse than make this a Friday night ritual. Why wait till Christmas to come clean!)

Natural fructose vs. HFCS—there IS a difference!

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.
