Xylitol, NOT a low calorie sweetener!
By Jane Barthelemy. Is Xylitol a healthy sweetener? Touted as a safe sugar substitute for diabetics in snacks, chewing gum, and baking, Xylitol is NOT the low-calorie sweetener it's cracked up to be. Just look at the nutrition label and you'll see it's loaded with calories and carbs. I don't accept that stripping birch bark and thus killing the tree is sustainable or earth-friendly. How is Xylitol produced? How does it affect the body? You deserve to know the truth to ...
WiFi Disrupts Natural Sleep Cycles & Brain Biorhythms
Why do many people sleep poorly and don't know why? But when they turn the WiFi OFF before bed, they enjoy refreshing deep sleep? Aha! That's because WiFi tells your brain that it is DAYTIME!

Uh Oh! Coconut Sugar is 100% Sugar!
Terrible news! Coconut sugar is 100% sugar! You won't feel a glycemic rush, as coconut sugar is relatively low in glucose. But here's the rub: The rest of the sugar is fructose! It's 100% sugar! Just like HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup), fructose in coconut sugar is a liver toxin that causes high cholesterol, obesity, and diabetes (Yup, our top epidemics). Fructose doesn't give you a glycemic jolt. Instead it quietly and insidiously fills your liver with bad lipid (fat) deposits and makes you want more sweets. Glycemic index can measure glucose, ...
What Favorite Foods Convert to SUGAR in Your Blood?
Shall we do some MYTH BUSTING? We all know sugar is BAD. And whole foods are GOOD. Yep, we've got that. But WHY do many people eat a whole food diet but still end up with high cholesterol and heart disease? Maybe it's not exactly BAD foods vs. GOOD foods. What about HIGH-CARB WHOLE FOODS that CONVERT immediately to sugar in the body? AHA!! These foods may not TASTE sweet, but they CAUSE DISEASE because they IMMEDIATELY become SUGAR: Wheat, ...
AVOID: Top 3 Foods of Inflammation & Heart Disease
Shall we play a game? In a small bowl mix together a few teaspoons of sugar, a handful of any flour, and a splash of vegetable oil. Add a few drops of water and stir well. Let your slurry sit at body temperature for a few hours. It will harden into a perfect rubbery superglue. These three foods accumulate in your body as sticky mucus that makes you old and tired. THIS is the root of inflammation and auto-immune disease ...
AVOID! Toxic “Natural Flavors”
Beware! When I see “Natural flavors” on a food ingredient label, right away I feel worried, anxious, unprotected, and suspicious. I conjure up bizarre images of chemical experiments in a toxic laboratory. What is the truth about “Natural Flavors”? What does the term actually mean? How can I protect myself from unhealthy ingredients not even listed on the label? Oh dear! The word "Natural" has no meaning. There are thousands of so-called “Natural flavors” used in processed foods ranging from lemon ...

Living with Nano Bots. How to AVOID and CLEAR them!
More and more people are waking up to the realities that our modern world, our weather, food, air, water, and medicines are not what they used to be.

Vegetable Oils: Good, Bad and Deadly
Have you ever wondered what's at the root of our world cancer epidemic? Like all disease, there are many contributing factors. However, the elephant in the room I'm highlighting today is our modern vegetable oils. Do you remember before the 1950’s, butter and lard were the go-to cooking fats in America. Our human diet has changed radically in the past 100 years, not always for the best. Now, GMO vegetable oils are everywhere, in many prepared foods, and so cheap that ...
High-Sugar Forbidden Fruits, Which Ones Make You Fat?
What's the worst food for weight gain? Sugary fruit! Surprising new studies show high-fructose fruits are top culprits in weight gain. Due to a genetic mutation 40,000 years ago, the fructose you eat goes immediately to fat. To lose weight, skip these high-sugar fruits: Bananas, Grapes, Pineapples, Mangos, Oranges, Dried fruits, Raisins, Dates, Melons, Peaches, Sweet apples and juices. Instead eat tart low-sugar fruits: raspberries, grapefruit, lemons, limes, strawberries, and tart apples like Granny Smith, Fuji, and Pink Lady, which are lower in fructose sugar. We think of fruit as healthy, and it is true that ...

Aluminum, Heavy Metal Toxicity, and Alzheimer’s?
When the Alzheimer’s Association of America says: “…few experts believe that everyday sources of aluminum pose any threat.", I REALLY want to believe them. But is it true? Not according to Dr. Chris Exley, PhD, of Keele University in UK, an expert on aluminum toxicity. Dr. Exley has been studying the impact of aluminum on the human body since 1984 and states: "There has been a strong link between human exposure to aluminum and Alzheimer’s disease for half a century ...
What’s Electro-Magnetic Hypersensitivity?
Electro-magnetic Hypersensitivity is affected by all the electronic gadgets around us such as cell phones and 5G. EMF's are a threat to DNA, and children are especially vulnerable, since young tissues absorb radiation more than adults.

Avoid Whole Foods Markets Cakes – GMO Beet Sugar & Glyphosate!
Big disappointment today! I was eyeing a gorgeous Berry Chantilly Cake at Whole Foods Market, and asked what kind of sugar they used. The sales clerk didn't know, so he brought me their 50# bag of sugar, marked in big letters: Western Sugar. OMG I was shocked! Western Sugar is the biggest producer of GMO beet sugar in the USA! The Western Sugar company is totally opposed to GMO labeling. Excuse me, Whole Foods, what kind of integrity is this? ...
