Erythritol

In a laboratory study, erythritol disrupted several functions in cultured human brain blood vessel cells, raising concerns that its effects extend beyond blood sugar and calorie content.

Erythritol increased oxidative stress while reducing nitric oxide production by about 20%, interfering with a key process that helps your blood vessels relax and regulate blood flow.

The sweetener increased production of endothelin-1, which promotes blood vessel constriction, by about 30%, further shifting the balance away from healthy blood vessel function.

Erythritol-treated cells failed to activate their normal clot-clearing response when researchers exposed them to a clotting signal, suggesting another way the sweetener could interfere with healthy brain blood vessel function.

Avoiding erythritol starts with checking ingredient lists — it appears in many products not obviously marketed as sugar-free — and choosing natural sweeteners like ripe fruit, raw honey or maple syrup in moderation rather than replacing it with another artificial substitute.

Why Tolerate Medical Fraud?

The documentary You Can See Everything opened over the weekend. It is about Elizabeth Holmes and her company Theranos, and how it grew to a $9B valuation by 2014 without a reliable product. It was a vibe-based company, one that Wall Street wanted to exist: a compelling female founder, Ivy dropout, a digital innovation to disrupt the establishment, all at a time of zero interest rates and a desperate hunt for high returns.

To what extent is she personally culpable, or was she merely scapegoated by an angry mob of investors? The film does not fully answer that question, even if it leaves one with a sense of confusion as to why she languishes in federal prison.

In the backdrop of all of this is the biggest medical fraud in modern history. The Covid lockdowns wrecked every nation that tried them – have a look at France today – and the shots that followed created carnage that is still not openly discussed in any mainstream media. Our pair of books called Cries for Help https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HM57V61Y document thousands of injuries and deaths for which no one is being held to account.

And these products are still on the market. Until last week, the Covid shots were still being pushed by the CDC on pregnant women even if we have mountains of data on elevated miscarriage rates. It’s mind-boggling that this happened and is still happening.

The loss of trust is pervasive and well earned. Brownstone’s poll last spring documented supermajority support for medical freedom: no mandates, no lies, no coercion, no more corruption. You are not alone, even if the mainstream media, reliant on pharma funding, reports none of it.

Eugenio Monti

Eugenio Monti

Nobody in that stadium knew his name before that afternoon. By the time it was over, nobody who was there would ever forget it. Fair play, they called it. It was something rarer than that.

It was 1964. Innsbruck, Austria. The Winter Olympics. The bobsled runs were packed with cold and tension, and Eugenio Monti was the man everybody expected to win.

He had been the best in the world for years. Six World Championship titles. A career of precision and nerve on the ice. This was supposed to be his Games.

Then came the run that changed everything.

The British two-man team, Tony Nash and Robin Dixon, had just finished a blistering heat when they discovered a broken bolt on their rear axle. The kind of mechanical failure that ends a campaign. No spare. No time. No solution.

Monti heard about it.

He was in first place. Nash and Dixon were his closest rivals. What he did next had no precedent in the sport.

He removed the equivalent bolt from his own sled and sent it up to the British team.

Nash and Dixon went on to win the gold medal.

Monti finished third.

When reporters pressed him afterward, he refused to treat it as sacrifice. He said, simply, that Nash had won because he drove the fastest. The bolt had nothing to do with it.

The Olympic Committee did not agree that it had nothing to do with it. That year, they created the Pierre de Coubertin Medal, awarded for exceptional sportsmanship. Monti was the first recipient.

He eventually won his own Olympic golds, two of them, at the 1968 Grenoble Games. He retired as one of the most decorated bobsledders who ever lived.

But the moment people remember is not a medal.

It is a bolt. Removed in silence. Sent up the hill to a competitor.

The man who gave away his chance at glory. The man who believed that winning the wrong way was not winning at all. The first name on a list of people the Olympic movement has ever called truly great.
