 And ask your physician to consider the potential effects of sodium and chloride depletion.
A Note on Potassium: "Regular" diuretics lower potassium levels, while potassium-sparing diuretics do not—they may increase levels instead. It is not uncommon for doctors to prescribe two different diuretics. That's why you should speak to your physician about your potassium levels, and whether it is appropriate for you to take supplements or eat potassium-rich foods. |
| And ask your physician to consider the potential effects of iron and sodium depletion and to monitor your potassium status.
You can also eat foods that contain the depleted nutrients:
• Folic acid: beef liver, fortified breakfast cereals, spinach, great northern beans, asparagus
• Vitamin C: papaya, guava, red pepper, cantaloupe, black currants
• Zinc: oysters, beef shank, chicken, pork tenderloin, plain yogurt

 Furthermore, the study demonstrates that when lifespan exposure to [aspartame] begins during fetal life, its carcinogenic effects are increased.
The study, entitled "Lifespan Exposure to Low Doses of Aspartame Beginning During Prenatal Life Increases Cancer effects in Rats" has been accepted for publication in the peer-reviewed journal Environmental Health Perspectives (EHP), the most widely-read environmental science journal in the world.
This is the second study conducted by the Ramizzini Foundation documenting the cancer-causing effects of aspartame in animals. |

Managing blood sugar levels goes a long way toward preventing the exhaustion your entire system experiences when on the roller coaster of high and low glycemic swings. The extreme stress of repeated sugar spikes exhausts and ages your body at a much faster than normal rate. Being able to balance glucose levels helps stop this damaging cycle. |

 Why is it illegal for nutritional supplement manufacturers to tell the truth about the anti-cancer effects of their products? Broccoli, garlic, onions and sprouts all have powerful anti-cancer effects, as do dozens of rainforest herbs (Cat's Claw, for example), Chinese herbs and Western herbs. But the FDA threatens and censors any company that dares to mention cancer prevention on its supplement products. Why is the FDA enforcing a policy of nutritional ignorance with U.S. consumers? Why does the federal government want people to remain ignorant of methods for preventing or treating cancer? |

 It does appear to reduce stress and the damaging effects of chronic inflammation. What's more, having a glass of wine with a meal creates an "event," and thus makes it more likely you'll eat more slowly.
Red wine offers an extra bonus in that it contains artery-scrubbing polyphenols that may help fight arteriosclerosis. For an extra antioxidant bump, choose a Sardinian Can-nonau. Beware, however, of the toxic effects of alcohol on the liver, brain, and other organs—along with increased risk of accidents—when daily consumption exceeds a glass or two. |

 According to the chemical creator's website, Ciba Specialty Chemicals "invented triclosan more than 35 years ago and in this long time of application without any adverse effects it has proven itself as the 'aspirin' of the antibacterial actives -- helpful without side effects.
"The popularity of triclosan is a reflection of its unique combination of efficacy against almost all types of bacteria and safety to man and nature which with the currently known substances used cannot be surmounted. |

| Just last week, the American Association for Cancer Research published astonishing research on the anti-cancer effects of eating RAW cruciferous vegetables. The research reveals something truly astonishing: That a mere 3 servings of raw cruciferous vegetables a month slashes bladder cancer risk by 73 percent in non-smokers. That's just three servings in a whole month. Imagine the anti-cancer effects derived from drinking a small amount of cruciferous vegetables every single day! |

 Only two products tested by the NRDC -- Febreze Air effects and Renuzit Subtle effects -- contained virtually no detectable levels of phthalates, yet the twelve other products tested positive for the chemical even though some were labeled "unscented" and none of them listed phthalates as an ingredient. Some products were even labeled "All natural!" (Which just goes to demonstrate, yet again, that the "All natural" claim is meaningless. |

 Both the AMA and individual doctors sided with big tobacco for decades after the deleterious effects of smoking were proven. Medical historians have tracked this relationship in great detail, examining internal documents from tobacco companies and their legal counsel and public relations advisers. The overarching theme of big tobacco's efforts was to keep alive the appearance of a "debate" or "controversy" of the health effects of cigarette smoking.
The first research to make a statistical correlation between cancer and smoking was published in 1930 in Cologne, Germany. In 1938, Dr. |

 When a medicine goes from being used by a few people to being used by hundreds of millions of people, for long periods of time, there have to be studies that look at the public health implications and the effects of long-term use ... It's true that we don't really know the long-term effects on the brain."140 And SSRIs, of course, run through the whole body, not just the brain. Ninety-five percent of the serotonin in the body actually resides in the intestines, where it acts as a signaling mechanism to the brain.141 The heart, too, has serotonin receptors. |

 Mike: Gastrointestinal effects.
Dr. Liers: There are different levels for gastrointestinal effects. There is an adaptation process to xylitol typically. If you go and look at the literature -- you can take 75 grams a day before you might start getting gastrointestinal discomfort. Mannitol is 25 grams. Fructooligosaccharides, which also have that characteristic, may be more like 20 to 25 grams. In Japan, you have to say on the package that it might cause gastrointestinal discomfort if you take too much at once.
You do not absorb them in your body. |

 Herbal product companies have been censored to such a degree that none dare tell the truth about the anti-cancer effects of their own products, and even broccoli growers and marketers are scared into remaining silent about the remarkable, scientifically-proven anti-cancer effects of broccoli.
In other words, if you want to know what the cancer industry supports or attacks, just check to see which list it's on. If it's on the list of things that prevent cancer, the cancer industry (including most of its doctors, oncologists, non-profits and government regulators) will be against it. |

 BPA is a known estrogen mimicker, and can cause hormone-disrupting effects, toxicity, neurotoxicity, low sperm counts and even cancer. Some of these effects occur in concentrations as low as two parts per billion, and yet various studies have shown that plastic bottles or canned foods can often expose consumers to far higher concentrations (sometimes hundreds of times higher).
More than 200 animal studies show that BPA is toxic at very low doses, and the Centers for Disease Control explains that it has found BPA in alarming concentrations in 95 percent of patients being tested. |

 No scientific testing whatsoever has been done to fully document the toxic effects of combinations of medications. Deadly drug interactions are simply noted after the fact. Consumers who take multiple prescription drugs are literally serving as Big Pharma's guinea pigs.
There is currently no requirement whatsoever that drug side effects noticed by doctors be reported to the FDA. The entire system of reporting is purely voluntary.
The entire paradigm of pharmaceutical medicine makes no sense. |

 Finally, theobromine has functions similar to the other two methylxanthines, but its stimulating effects are the weakest of the three compounds. See the table on page 15 for information about the content of caffeine and theophylline in foods and beverages.
In 1827, when caffeine was first extracted from tea leaves, the substance found in tea was thought to be different from "regular" caffeine, and so it was called "theine." We now know that what researchers extracted all those years ago was in fact caffeine.
Caffeine levels vary between types of tea. |

| A government official who was in danger of dying from the ill effects of gluttony asked Eisai to pray for his recovery. Rather than trusting this man's fate solely to the power of prayer, Eisai directed the official to drink tea that Eisai himself had cultivated and prepared. After the official recovered, Eisai gave him a copy of his book, and the official became a strong tea supporter. As the amazing story of tea's contribution to this man's recovery from deathly illness spread, demand for and cultivation of tea increased throughout the island country of Japan. |

 Metformin, with its B6- and B12-depleting effects, may add even more to the big picture of heart attack, stroke, or blood clots in diabetics. Metformin users are warned in the package information of their medicine that they have increased risk of death from these causes, compared to diabetics who are treated with diet alone or with diet plus insulin injections.
Good news: you can restore your B6, B12, and folic acid levels easily. This will reduce homocysteine and your risk of heart attacks and strokes, as well as helping to get your blood pressure within healthy limits. |
