See article keywords and concepts |  Most of the popular protein products on the market are sweetened with refined sugars (obesity, anyone?), chemical sweeteners (toxicity) or sugar alcohols (diarrhea). But Jay Robb's protein products have no such sweeteners. They use the natural herb stevia. And somehow they manage to make even egg protein (which is usually rather boring) taste good. I know because I slammed three sample cups of this egg protein for breakfast one morning at the trade show (I couldn't find any healthy food at the hotels, so I headed straight for Jay's booth for some quality protein to get my day started). |

See book keywords and concepts |  Reduce or eliminate refined sugars and carbohydrates because the blood sugar swings they engender can affect your mood.
Psychological Tips
Many therapies can help to reduce feelings of depression, and combining them with dietary changes and nutritional supplements will improve your chances of recovery.
Redirect your negative self-talk. Depressed people are often very self-critical. When they make a mistake or fail to finish a task, they whip themselves with such negative thoughts as, "I can't do anything right" or "What's wrong with me? |

See article keywords and concepts |  An example of this is the Power Bar, which used to be based on highly nutritious ingredients, but now the more recent formulations contain refined sugars. But with the Organic Food Bar, we're talking about a solid, healthy product that doesn't have any of the negative ingredients that are typically in other food bars. It has no refined sugars, no trans-fatty acids and no filler ingredients. In fact, it's filled with so much goodness that I'm surprised it can sell at the competitive price it does. | | Most of them are loaded with refined sugars, artificial ingredients, additives and fillers. A lot of so-called "nutrition bars" used to be good for you in their original formulation, but they've been dumbed down for the sugar-hungry American population, and are now little more than candy bars. An example of this is the Power Bar, which used to be based on highly nutritious ingredients, but now the more recent formulations contain refined sugars. |

See article keywords and concepts |  I understand you have a sports drink that's not sweetened with lots of refined sugars.
Bovio: Actually, there are no refined sugars whatsoever, and we keep it natural. The reason we do that is we want to keep the drink from spending time in the stomach. We want it to empty quickly, and be absorbed rapidly, thereby providing the electrolytes so that your blood flow and your oxygen flow is increased.
Mike: The sports drink market is very competitive. There are a lot of products on the market. |
Tori Hudson, N.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  The appropriate diet is well balanced and varied and includes fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, beans, and fish, with a limit on refined sugars, processed foods, and saturated fats. Organically grown produce, meats, and poultry are preferable, or inorganic produce that has been carefully washed to remove agricultural chemicals.4
In an observational study involving 76 healthy pregnant women, 78 percent had "one or more glaring nutritional deficiencies. | | Another nutritional factor in PMS is the effect of refined sugars on the retention of sodium. After a large intake of sugar, insulin increases quickly, which causes sodium and water retention. Symptoms such as swelling in the hands and feet, abdominal bloating, and breast engorgement and tenderness result. Complex carbohydrates are preferred over simple sugars (white sugar, white flour, white rice, etc.) because they stimulate insulin release much more slowly and in a more sustained manner, thereby preventing many of these water-retention symptoms. | | Reading labels on packaged foods is a good strategy for reducing intake of refined sugars. Any label that says sucrose, glucose, maltose, lactose, fructose, sugar, corn syrup, or white grape juice concentrate is a source of added dietary sugar.
Salt. With all this talk of lowering cholesterol and improving the cholesterol ratios, it is easy to forget how important it is to balance the blood pressure and how foods may have a positive or a negative effect on this. For example, a diet low in potassium and high in sodium is associated with high blood pressure. |

See article keywords and concepts |  As more consumers are seeking healthful chocolate bars without all the added sugars and milk fat, I set out to find the best new raw chocolate products made only with wholesome ingredients. No refined sugars, no animal products and no junk, just pure ingredients with potent nutritional benefits.
This task required eating enormous quantities of chocolate. Or at least that's what I told everyone between bites. In reality, it required just as much research as taste testing, and in the end, I found four chocolate products worth including in this review. Three out of the four offer raw cacao. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Lee, MD, who coined the term estrogen dominance, offers the following general dietary recommendations for maintaining balanced hormone levels:
¦ Avoid refined sugars and processed foods; instead, eat organic whole foods, emphasizing fresh vegetables and fruit, whole grains, legumes, and nuts.
¦ Consume modest amounts of meat (chicken, beef, or pork) two or three times per week at most; preferable sources of protein are eggs, yogurt, and cold-water ocean fish (four to five servings per week).
¦ Avoid hydrogenated oils (in margarine and processed foods); use primarily olive oil instead. |
Michael T. Murray and Michael R. Lyon
See book keywords and concepts |  Foods are tested against the results of the selected standard. refined sugars, white flour products, and other sources of simple sugars are quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, causing a rapid rise in blood sugar. In response, the body boosts secretion of insulin by the pancreas. High-sugar junk food diets definitely lead to poor blood sugar regulation, obesity, and ultimately type 2 diabetes. And, because of the stress on the body that they cause, including secreting too much insulin, they can also promote the growth of cancer and increase the risk of heart disease. | | The increase in obesity rates in the United States parallels the rise in the intake of refined sugars like high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). ţAdopting a more Western diet is associated with an increased rate of obesity as well as virtually every other chronic disease. ţThe presence of the "thrifty genotype" helps protect against starvation during famine, but increases the likelihood of developing obesity. ţThe Hunger Free Forever program effectively prevents the expression of the thrifty genotype and allows you to achieve and maintain your ideal body weight. |

Current investigations into the genetics of IBD point to loss of physiologic tolerance to commensal microflora in genetically susceptible individuals as the probable etiology [1,4, 16, 17]. |
Brenda Davis and Tom Barnard
See book keywords and concepts |  The balance of this chapter will explore some of the more popular unrefined or slightly refined sugars and consider their usefulness as sweeteners for people with diabetes. We'll look at dry sugars like raw sugar, Rapadura, Sucanat, and date sugar, as well as liquid sugars like agave syrup, blackstrap molasses, barley malt, brown rice syrup, maple syrup, and honey.
Refined Sugars
Refined sugars include all those sugars that are extracted from plants and are purified to yield sugar. Table sugar is made from sugar cane or sugar beets. |

When it comes to condiments and spices, we often resort to items that are full of preservatives, additives, and refined sugars. I challenge you to explore your pantry or the door to your refrigerator and see just how many odd-sounding ingredients you find on bottles, jars, and shakers. For example, regular ketchup and BBQ_sauce can be loaded with additives, especially high-fructose corn syrup.
You can do so much better with just natural, organic spices and herbs. Organic sauces and condiments can also be found in many stores today. |
Ron Garner
See book keywords and concepts |  As Erasmus indicates, it requires an adequate healthful diet:
Neither animal eaters nor plant consumers need fear cvd (cardiovascular disease) if they take their foods from unrefined natural sources, and especially if they supplement with (vitamins) C, B3, W3 (omega-3 oils), and fiber, and the rest of the substances long known to be essential for our health. refined sugars, refined starches, hard fats, and refined, denatured oils from which vitamins, minerals, fiber, and protein have been removed should be expected to create problems. |

Diet: Eat an anti-inflammatory diet, avoiding refined sugars, hydrogenated oils and gluten, which can cause inflammation. Salmon, walnuts, and mackerel have high levels of essential fatty acids (EFAs), which have antiinflammatory properties. Flaxseeds also have high levels of EFAs and also contain high amounts of fiber. Sprinkle flaxseeds on your cereal, or add them to shakes or juices.
Supplements: A high-quality multivitamin will provide the proper nourishment to help heal damaged tissue. Follow the instructions on the label for the correct dosage. |

See book keywords and concepts |  A diet with a low component of simple sugars, especially refined sugars, is recommended. "It is also important to limit foods containing honey, maple syrup and milk because of the lactose," Dr. Korins say, because "even these simple sugars, the Candida can thrive on. Foods containing yeast or mold such as alcohol, cheese, dried fruits and peanuts and known allergens should be avoided since they also weaken the immune system and leave less reserve to deal with these conditions."
In terms of digestion, supplements are beneficial. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Chlorella helps diabetics by reducing AGEs, the toxic metabolites resulting from consuming refined sugars.76
Spirulina contains gamma linolenic acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid needed by diabetics. The Delta-6 desaturatase enzyme, which is necessary to convert linoleic acid to gamma linolenic acid (GLA), is inhibited in diabetes. And by giving GLA, an omega-6 fatty acid, researchers found that receivers of GLA did better in all sixteen parameters evaluated in one study.77
GLA has been found to enhance nerve conduction and blood flow in diabetic rats. |

Diet: Eat an anti-inflammatory diet, avoiding refined sugars, hydrogenated oils, and glutens. Gluten is a protein found in some grains, especially wheat, that has been shown to be an allergen that causes inflammation. Salmon, mackerel, and walnuts have high levels of essential fatty acids (EFAs), which have anti-inflammatory properties. Flaxseed also has high levels of EFAs and also contains high amounts of fiber. Sprinkle it on your cereal, or in your shakes or juices.
Supplements: A high-quality multivitamin will provide the proper nourishment to help heal damaged tissue. |
Ray D. Strand
See book keywords and concepts |  The American diet, with its high intake of white breads, white flour, refined sugars, and fat, is terribly deficient in many of these essential nutrients. Our nation's diet is also high in meats and carbonated beverages, which increase the intake of phosphorous and decrease our absorption of calcium. Inadequate intake of any nutrients required for bone health contributes to osteoporosis.
Another common myth that teams up with Mr. Bare Bones is that calcium is all we need for strong bones and to stave off osteoporosis. |
Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith
See book keywords and concepts | | The average diet further adds to our toxic load through refined sugars, additives, preservatives, and exposure to pesticides. Eating closer to nature—choosing organically grown foods and high-quality sources of proteins and other nutrients—will support our bodies'detoxification processes.
Supplements can support your detox program and your path to vibrant health. |
Mehmet C. Oz., M.D. and Michael F. Roizen, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Not surprisingly, you can decrease BDNF by eating high levels of saturated fats and refined sugars, as well as by not getting enough of the natural antidepressant tryptophan (sure, it's found in turkey, but there's twice as much in spinach) in your diet.
So what's the biological effect of all this? Well, if you have serious memory-related problems, the gray matter in your brain actually shrivels faster than a centenarian sunbather. And the connections that are so important to maintaining memory get blocked and broken and detoured so that your memory function is slowed—or sometimes lost. |

See book keywords and concepts | | They can reinforce unhealthy habits (eating processed foods high in saturated fat, salt, and refined sugars) and serve as a disincentive to create a healthy lifestyle. Moreover, there are hidden risks to statins that don't get publicized nearly as much as their touted benefits. For example, in August 2003, the FDA approved a statin drug called Crestor (rosuvastatin calcium). |

See article keywords and concepts | | The date paste is obviously the provider of the sweetener and texture of the food bar - but notice that they're using whole dates here, and dates offer some great nutrition that's much better for you than just eating refined sugars. The almond butter, simultaneously, provides the fat texture and healthy oils for your body. In fact, almonds are a great way to get heart-healthy oils into your system. There are oils in almonds that can prevent and even help reverse cardiovascular disease. They can reduce your risk of heart attacks and strokes. They even help enhance nervous system function. |
