Ultraprocessed food: Addictive, Toxic, and Ready for Regulation

 This article by Doctor Robert Lustig really outlines the causative factors of many diseases that arise from ultra-processed foods and cause non-communicable diseases: sugar abuse, food addiction, food additives, etc.,  and the etiology of these items on disease and deaths.  The article is forthcoming and highly informative.

Before and After! Seeing is believing.

  People are really not understanding the food problem in the United States. In the picture on top I was approximately 265 pounds, and practically in a wheelchair. I thought I was dying. Doctors told me nothing and offered me everything under the sun except for what I needed. I have an autoimmune condition. I am gluten intolerant and the medical industry failed to realize this. I did my own research and changed my eating habits. In the picture on the bottom, I weighed about 185lbs in December 2023. I now weigh about 175 pounds and my health has improved dramatically. We are being poisoned with the food supply. Chemicals, additives, preservatives, hormones, pesticides, sugar, MSG, I can list hundreds of items that do not belong in our food. Read my blog, there is research and writing on there that is all truthful and accurate. Don't wait until you lose your health. Taking it back is much more difficult than preventing from losing it in the first place.

The link between sleep deprivation, weight gain, and cortisol.

 The link between sleep deprivation,  weight gain,  and cortisol.  If you work overnight shifts,  or experience sleep deprivation, this is for you.  The Vicious Cycle: How Sleep Deprivation, Cortisol, and Weight Gain Are Linked In our fast-paced, 24/7 world, sleep is often the first thing to be sacrificed. We burn the midnight oil to meet deadlines, binge-watch a new series, or simply try to cram more into our day. However, this seemingly harmless habit of skimping on sleep can have profound consequences for our health, particularly when it comes to our waistline. The relationship between sleep deprivation, the stress hormone cortisol, and weight gain is a complex and interconnected cycle that can be incredibly difficult to break. The Role of Cortisol: Our Body's Alarm System Cortisol is often referred to as the "stress hormone." It's a glucocorticoid produced by the adrenal glands and plays a crucial role in the body's stress response. When we face a threa...

Health and Wellness: What's in your food? FDA bans the use of red dye Number 3 in foods.

The FDA banned the use of Red Dye number 3 in foods this week.  It has been used for decades in food and candy,  and has been linked to causing cancer in laboratory rats. The Center for Science in the Public Interest has been petitioning the FDA for many years. It was also found that evidence exists that red dye 3, along with many other petroleum-based dyes that are still being used in thousands of foods and candy products,  may exacerbate behavioral issues in children.   (https://www.npr.org/2025/01/15/nx-s1-5260909/fda-bans-red-dye-3) It's a good thing that the FDA has banned this dangerous product.  Like all toxins,  none is better than a lot.  The less you consume the better.  We as humans,  are not designed to consume an onslaught of toxicity due to the fact we live in a commercialized society, where food is associated with so many things. We are organic beings no matter how you look at it.  Ingesting chemicals can and will eve...
