Who’s right in the salt debate?

[…]of people around the world, why are efforts to cut dietary salt being met with such fierce resistance? Salt is big business for the processed food and meat industry. So, according to the head of the World Health Organization’s Collaborating Center on Nutrition, we get the familiar story. Just like the tobacco industry spent decades trying to manufacture doubt and confuse the public, the salt industry does the same, but the controversy is fake. The evidence for salt reduction is clear and consistent. Most of the “contradictory research” comes from scientists linked to the salt industry. However, it takes skill to spot […]

CNN: It’s not just soda: Drinking too much fruit juice (or any sugary drink) linked to premature death risk

[…]could explain the elevated risk of death: research suggests that sugary beverages increase insulin resistance (known to raise the risk of cardiovascular disease) and fructose consumption may stimulate hormones that promote weight gain around the waist. RELATED STORY: Diet Soda May be Tied to Stroke, Dementia Risk Marta Guasch-Ferré, a research scientist in the Department of Nutrition at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Dr. Frank B. Hu, a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, wrote in an editorial published alongside the new study that although this is one of the first studies to look at sugary […]

20,000 satellites for 5G to be launched sending focused beams of intense microwave radiation over entire Earth

[…]on what has been happening around the country, telecom companies are sweeping aside local resistance and gaining approval for their 5G systems in rapid succession. Can 5G Implementation be Stopped? As far as I can tell, at this point, the only way that 5G will be stopped will be by congressional action. If enough people raise a stink with their elected officials, then perhaps 5G could be put on hold while studies are done to examine the true health risks. Telecom investment in 5G has been massive. They are planning full implementation on the ground and in space in the […]

Reuters: Tennessee restricts use of Monsanto pesticide as problems spread

[…]killer, which replaces earlier products that contained only glyphosate. Some weeds have developed resistance to glyphosate, which Monsanto introduced in the 1970s. Crop seeds such as corn, soybeans and cotton are genetically modified to survive the pesticide while yield-sapping weeds die. Dicamba has long been used to kill weeds before crops are planted, but its use has spiked this season across the United States after regulators last year approved it for crops that are already growing.”3 Monsanto has been selling a new dicamba formulation, Xtendimax, which is supposed to drift less- but it might just be too late. At least, […]

Seven fabulous foods to boost brain function and prevent memory loss

[…]you, as all of these have a high glycemic load and they increase blood sugar levels, and insulin resistance: ·         Gluten-rich foods such as whole wheat bread or a bagel, ·         White rice ·         Granola (sugar coated grains) ·         Instant oatmeal ·         Mashed or baked potato ·         Any whole grain that has been processed into flour. The bottom line is that you can improve your brain function starting right now (and prevent or delay future memory loss) by adding foods that boost brain function, and by avoiding foods that cause your blood sugar levels to surge. My published studies show […]

How to lose weight quickly: 3 simple, research-based steps

[…]jogging, running, cycling or swimming will suffice. SUMMARY: It is best to do some sort of resistance training like weight lifting. If that is not an option, cardio workouts are also effective. Optional — Do a “Carb Refeed” Once Per Week You can take one day off per week where you eat more carbs. Many people prefer Saturday. It is important to stick to healthy carb sources like oats, rice, quinoa, potatoes, sweet potatoes, fruit, etc. But only this one higher carb day — if you start doing it more often than once per week you’re not going to see much […]

Pigging out is fine, as long as it is short-term

Overeating has been found to impair blood sugar (glucose) control and insulin levels. A new study suggests that the duration of a bout of overeating can affect how the body adapts glucose and insulin processing when calorie intake increases. The research was published ahead of print in the American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism. Obesity and type 2 diabetes have increased significantly worldwide within the past 30 years. Lifestyle factors such as overindulging in high-calorie foods play a large role in the development of these two serious health conditions. Understanding how snacking and overeating causes changes in blood sugar control […]

Obesity Damages Your Mind as Well as Your Body

[…]article: “Body fat is the defining feature of obesity, but you’ve also got things like insulin resistance, hypertension, and high blood pressure,” says Cheke. “These can go hand in hand with behavioural factors [such as overeating and lack of exercise] and they can all potentially cause changes in the brain.” “For example, insulin is an important neurotransmitter, and there’s a lot of evidence that diabetes is associated with changes in learning and memory,” she adds, “but there’s also evidence that high body fat on its own leads to inflammation in the brain, which can also cause problems.” Inflammation is another […]

Legal Cannabis Is Literally Transforming Cities — Funding Roads, Schools, Charities and More

[…]their medical laws have been in existence since 1998 and sudden taxation would meet with fierce resistance. It is important that other states, as they legalize medical use and sales, follow this example of no taxation. Colorado continues to provide an interesting experiment in the legalization of a plant that has been demonized by government for decades. While taxation of recreational use is allowing cities to provide community benefits, let’s remember that freedom is the number one reason why legalization must happen everywhere. *Article originally appeared at The Free Thought […]

Oranges and Lemons Prevent Heart Disease, Liver Disease and Diabetes

[…]but have diets rich in fats, putting them at risk of developing cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance and abdominal obesity,” Ferreira explained. For the study, the team conducted an experiment with 50 mice, treating them with flavanones found in oranges, limes and lemons, or a high-fat diet. They focused on flavanones such as hesperidin, eriocitrin and eriodictyol. For a month, researchers gave groups either a standard diet, a high-fat diet, a high-fat diet plus hesperidin, a high-fat diet plus eriocitrin or a high-fat diet plus eriodictyol. The group who consumed high-fat diet without the flavanones showed increase in the levels of […]

Thank you Germany! 62-Mile Bicycle Highway That’s Completely Car Free.

[…]a Berlin bike autobahn plan- linking the city center with the southwest area- is also facing resistance, many see that this idea has real potential. The idea nonetheless has real potential for medium-length journeys, pushing the limits of frequent daily bike use out from the (now well-provided-for) inner city into the suburbs and wider regions. Munich isalready planning a network like this one, which will stretch from the historic center out along 14 protected two-lane paths through the suburbs into the surrounding lake land. Germany’s fourth city, Cologne, has a smaller plan for a similar bike highway out into its western exurbs. […]

Alzheimer’s A 2013 study from Johns Hopkins University found: too little sleep can cause Alzheimer’s and an ongoing lack of sleep can hasten the progression of the disease Researchers found that those who experienced poor sleep each night had a greater amount of beta-amyloid buildup (a known marker of the disease) in their brains on PET scan. This led researchers to surmise that sleep was imperative to rid the body of “cerebral waste,” which can […]

LA TIMES: It’s getting clearer — the diet-cancer connection points to sugar and carbs

[…](we need insulin to live). Rather, it’s the insulin that remains at elevated (insulin resistance) levels which can promote the growth of tumors directly and indirectly. (And because elevated insulin directs our bodies to store fat, it can also be linked to the various ways the fat tissue itself is thought to contribute to cancer.) So, it seems the problem isn’t just eating too much but WHAT we are eating. Easily digestible carbohydrates in general, and sugar, in particular, can cause insulin levels to rise to abnormally high levels and remain elevated and THAT can promote the growth of tumors directly and indirectly. […]

How Does Metastatic Cancer Form in The Body?

[…]approach to prevent metastasis focuses on strengthening the tissues thereby increasing their resistance to being degraded. Nutrients that are important for promoting the integrity of tissues in the midst of high levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 are Vitamin C, Zinc, Magnesium, flavonoids, and procyanidins. Angiogenesis: Forming New Blood Vessels Before cancer cells from a tumor can migrate into the bloodstream and spread throughout the body, they must first leave the confines of the tumor. While the MMP enzymes degrade the surrounding tissue and increase its permeability, the tumor begins to form unique blood vessels that serve two major functions. First, […]
