Tap water that has not been run for some time to flush out copper and plastic residues which have been absorbed while standing in pipes. Fluoridated, chlorinated or otherwise contaminated water. Soda water and carbonated beverages. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Use either quick or old-fashioned oats; most brands of instant oats usually include added sugars, which may affect your finished dish.
Substitute oats for other ingredients. Replace bread or cracker crumbs in meat loaf or meatball recipes with oats. When baking breads, cakes, pancakes, or muffins, you can replace up to one-third of the flour with oats. A quick whirl in the food processor will render it almost as fine as white flour.
Toast oats for added flavor. Toasted oats can be added to trail mix or sprinkled on top of yogurt, frozen yogurt, or fresh fruit. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Just don't buy pickles containing any added sugars or artificial colors. Some pickles are, believe it or not, loaded with sugar. They're more like candied cucumbers than pickles. Read the ingredients labels to be sure what you're getting.
By the way, while you're eating pickles, it's an excellent time to take some calcium and mineral supplements, too. The acidity of the pickles will accelerate the absorption of calcium.

HOW TO SELECT AND STORE Choose cranberries that have a fresh, plump appearance and a deep red luster, and that are quite firm to the touch. Fresh cranberries are usually packed in 12-ounce plastic bags, although organic berries may be available in pint containers. Discard any that are soft, discolored, pitted, or shriveled.
Unwashed, fresh cranberries can be stored in the refrigerator for several months. |

At the same time, you have to keep in mind what level of exercise you are subjecting yourself to. There's no doubting that physical exercise can be quite strenuous on the human body. This is especially true if you engage in strength training. It is, in fact, the aim of strength training -- you want to stress your body so that your body adapts, and the way it adapts is by building additional muscle mass in order to equip you with the physical structures you need to better meet those same stresses in the future. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Because as more Americans eat added sugars, processed foods, hydrogenated oils and other foods and food ingredients that promote chronic disease, the more prescription drugs they will need to treat those diseases. Thus, in a rather bizarre and sickening way, the pharmaceutical industry has the food industry to thank for creating more customers!
Likewise, the people making decisions at the FDA have USDA officials to thank for protecting the profit base that keeps drug companies in business and keeps many FDA officials in positions of power. |

See book keywords and concepts | | The per capita consumption just of added sugars went from 27 teaspoons (108 grams) per person per day in 1970 to 32 teaspoons (128 grams) per person per day in 1996, according to U.S. food supply data. What is staggering to consider is that noncaloric sweeteners are not included in these calculations.
The large increase in the use of corn sweetener, or high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), in the past thirty years is directly related to the overall increase in sugar consumption in the United States. In spite of its name, there is no more fructose in high-fructose corn syrup than there is sucrose. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Type 2 diabetes is the natural, physiological, and metabolic result of the consumption of refined carbohydrates and added sugars in large quantities without regular physical exercise that might compensate for such dietary practices.
The name "diabetes" is meaningless to the average person. The disease should be called Excessive Sugar Disorder. If it were called Excessive Sugar Disorder, the solution to it would be rather apparent: Simply eat less sugar, drink fewer sugary beverages, and so on. |
Michele Simon
See book keywords and concepts |  Yet, part of the advice is simply to choose beverages with "little added sugars"—still pretty fuzzy language. Keeping the wording as vague as possible is good for big business. Is it any wonder that so many people are still confused about how to eat?
MyPyramid, Our Problem
Four months later, in April 2005, the federal government revealed its much-anticipated revision of the "Food Guide Pyramid"—that peculiar icon of nutrition advice that adorns cereal boxes and not much else. |

See article keywords and concepts | | The result, no doubt, is that more Americans will continue to consume added sugars, and they will increasingly be diagnosed with diabetes and obesity as a result.
The food lobby, the big sugar lobby and the soft drink lobby have all blockaded what would have otherwise been good nutritional advice. These food and beverage companies are preventing the government from providing information to the public that would save countless lives and dramatically improve the quality of life while reducing healthcare costs in the decades ahead. | | Even with the recent updating of national dietary guidelines by a panel of experts at the USDA, the conclusion left out any advice that would have told Americans to limit their intake of added sugars.
Any guesses on why that happened? It's no more complicated than good old-fashioned food politics: the soft drink companies, sugar industry and mass food producers lobbied the USDA to make sure the new guidelines would not cause a decrease in the sales of their products. So the anti-sugar message was censored. |

See article keywords and concepts |  As far as other foods that cause body odor, manufactured foods -- those lacking fiber and made with refined white flour, added sugars, hydrogenated oils and other processed ingredients -- are the big culprits. When you eliminate these from your diet and shift to a 100% healthful diet made of whole grains, massive quantities of leafy vegetables, fresh fruits, soy products, supergreens, lots of sprouts, raw nuts and seeds, healthy oils and other similar healthful ingredients, your body odor will all but disappear in a matter of weeks.
That's because a plant-based diet is an internal deodorizer. |

See article keywords and concepts |  At the same time you have to make a commitment to avoid drinking beverages that result in dehydration, such as soft drinks, sport drinks or any beverage with caffeine or added sugars. That means avoiding cow's milk, fruit juices, beer and alcohol, fruit punches or any other drinks that simply don't substitute for the healing power of pure water.
The bottom line to all of this is that Dr B is a true international hero when it comes to having the wisdom to recognize the fundamental causes of disease and the courage to speak up about it and tell the truth as he sees it. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Hospitals are supposed to be places of health and healing, and to have restaurants serving saturated fats, hamburgers with white flour buns, french fries with trans-fatty acids, milkshakes containing added sugars and soft drinks containing high-fructose corn syrup as well as aspartame is simply inconsistent with a place of health. Thus, the doctor wants McDonald's out of the hospital.
Interestingly, McDonald's defends its position by claiming to offer -- get this -- healthy menu choices. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Read the fine print on the label carefully to avoid products with added sugars (including lactose). Theanine. Although found in green tea, which contains caffeine, thea-nine has a powerful anticaffeine, brain-calming effect. In fact, theanine (an amino acid) may account for the many health benefits of tea, from promoting relaxation to lowering the risk of heart disease and cancer. Some research suggests that theanine might also lower blood pressure, one consequence of stress.
Theanine supplements are available in health foods stores. Follow label directions, because products vary. |
T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D. and Thomas M. Campbell II
See book keywords and concepts |  Politics, however, had early entered the discussion, as it had done in earlier reports on added sugars.7 According to a news release from the director-general's office at the WHO,8 the U.S.-based Sugar Association and the World Sugar Research Organization, who "represent the interests of the sugar growers and refiners, had mounted a strong lobbying campaign in an attempt to discredit the [WHO] report and suppress its release." They did not like setting the upper safe limit so low. According to the Guardian newspaper of London,7 the U.S. | | What's amazing is that I could put together a variety of menus, all drenched in animal foods and added sugars, that conform to these recommended daily allowances. At this point in the book, I don't need to tell you that when we eat a diet like this day in and day out, we will be not just marching, but sprinting into the arms of chronic disease. In sad fact, this is what a large proportion of our population already does.
PROTEIN
Perhaps the most shocking figure is the upper limit on protein intake. | | Add to that the fact that the average American consumed thirty-two teaspoons of added sugars per day in 1996,*6 and it's clear that Americans are gorging almost exclusively on refined, simple carbohydrates, at the exclusion of healthful complex carbohydrates.
This is bad news, and this, in large measure, is why carbohydrates as a whole have gotten such a bad rap; the vast majority of carbohydrates consumed in America are found in junk food or grains so refined that they have to be supplemented with vitamins and minerals. On this point, the popular diet authors and I agree. | | Let's take a closer look. What are these recommendations really saying? Remember, the news release starts off by stating the report's objective of "minimizing risk for chronic disease."2 This report says that we can consume a diet containing up to 35% of calories as fat; this is up from the 30% limit of previous reports. It also recommends that we can consume up to 35% of calories as protein; this number is far higher than the suggestion of any other responsible authority.
The last recommendation puts the frosting on the cake, so to speak. We can consume up to 25% of calories as added sugars. | | NUTRIENT PROFILE OF SAMPLE MENU PLAN AND REPORT RECOMMENDATIONS

See article keywords and concepts |  It's just a metabolic side effect of a lifetime of consuming refined carbohydrates, added sugars, and avoiding physical exercise. So for those out there who are hoping for an instant cure for their type 2 diabetes, this isn't it.
So what breakthrough is this news talking about? It's about a vaccine that's being touted as a cure for type 1 diabetes. To understand the vaccine, however, you have to understand type 1 diabetes in the first place. Type 1 diabetes is technically an autoimmune disorder. |

Unhealthful eating patterns resulting in overconsump-tion of foods high in fat, calories, or added sugars are considered a major contributor to childhood obesity.16 Since these patterns often include habits learned from the family, attention should be paid to providing healthful food to the entire family and encouraging good role modeling by other family members.17
Guiding healthful food choices when eating outside of the home is also a priority. |

See article keywords and concepts |  For example, when a person eats a donut, that donut contains both white flour and added sugars, which deplete the body of B vitamins, causing deficiencies. And it is these deficiencies that lead to antisocial behavior, aggressive behavior and ultimately criminal behavior - especially among males.
Another dietary factor in these behavioral disorders, it turns out, is a lack of quality protein. People aren't getting high quality protein because they think the only place to get protein is from beef and red meat, when in fact superfoods like spirulina offer much higher quality protein. |
Mike Adams
See book keywords and concepts | | Nowhere does it talk about the dangers of refined grains, added sugars or chemical additives such as sodium nitrate, MSG, or artificial colors.
In fact, the USDA Food Guide Pyramid is a travesty of nutrition. Only a fool would follow it. But it certainly has served its original purpose which was of course, to promote the financial interests of various farmers and food producers in the United States. And that's how this Food Guide Pyramid should be looked upon by intelligent consumers: pure marketing propaganda. | | By doing so, we will make healthy foods more attractive to consumers while reducing the consumption of foods made from corn syrup and added sugars.
Create incentives for good health
Another idea for enhancing the nutrition of the nation is to create incentives that reward good nutritional strategies among the public. One idea would be to have insurance rebates for people who attain and maintain certain health milestones. | | We feed our students refined white flour, added sugars, dead foods, processed foods, hydrogenated oils, and then we send them back to class and wonder why they can't learn or pay attention. Instead of giving them good nutrition, we as a nation just dose them up with Ritalin, a powerful narcotic that masks the symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. What we need to do is feed our children foods and nutritional supplements that support stable blood sugar, optimum brain function and a positive learning environment. | | The dog fed human food, which would include refined grains, white flour, added sugars, chemical food additives and other toxic ingredients would have a much lower quality of life than the healthy dog. It would also have a shorter life span and sky-high health care costs associated with the treatment of the chronic diseases it would undoubtedly experience.
The healthy dog, on the other hand, would live longer and would be more vibrant, more emotionally stable, have greater lean body mass and lower body fat. |
