 Many readers are asking great questions about these products: Is raw better than pasteurized? Is reconstituted juice as good as freshly squeezed? Is the plastic bottle a threat to health? Must the juices be organic to be healthful?
This follow-up report attempts to answer these questions. Some of the information here is borrowed from the consumer shopping guide mentioned above.
Here are the big questions we're being asked about superfruit juices (along with answers for each one). |
| The top consumer questions about superfruit juices
#1: Are pasteurized superfruit juice as healthy as raw juices?
No. Raw fruit juice is always healthier than pasteurized. Heat processing destroys a significant portion of the nutrients found in raw juice.
#2: Is the Bisphenol-A chemical in the plastic containers used with fruit juices a threat to my health?
A small threat, perhaps, but the health benefits of drinking superfruit juices greatly outweigh the health risks of plastics chemicals. Still, it's better to drink such juices from glass containers, not plastic. |

 By far, the most questions have been asked about my mention of Scientology as being a target of FDA raids. Some readers have railed against Scientology, and others have even said I was "endorsing" Scientology by merely mentioning them in the article detailing various FDA raids. Let me be clear here: Scientology was included in the article for the simple reason that they were raided by the FDA. If the FDA had broken down the doors of a building belonging to the Nation of Islam (or any church / organization), I would have mentioned the Nation of Islam instead. |

 Listen to what they are saying instead of thinking about your response. Ask questions to gain more information or clarify what they are telling you. Good questions open lines of communication. ţBe a reflective listener. Restate or reflect back to the other person your interpretation of what they are telling you. This simple technique shows the other person that you are both listening to and understanding what they are saying. Restating what you think is being said may cause some short-term conflict in some situations, but it is certainly worth the risk. |

 And when people ask me these questions I immediately recognize that they have come from the world of pharmaceuticals -- they're used to asking these questions of their pharmacist or their doctor. They're used to thinking of everything as a drug.
These aren't drugs, folks, they're foods. You don't have to ask your doctor when to eat spinach. Do you eat spinach on an empty stomach or a full stomach? Do you have to drink milk with spinach or drink water with spinach? You don't ask such questions; you just eat these foods when you want to eat them. |

 It consisted of twenty-four questions addressing three aspects of play behavior: type of toys, activities, and child characteristics. The authors of the Pre-School Activities Inventory state:
The questions assess either feminine or masculine play behavior from which 3 scales are derived: a composite scale, integrating both masculine and feminine play behavior, and a masculine and a feminine scale. The composite scale is essentially defined as the difference: feminine scale minus masculine scale. |

 A qualified practitioner should take a complete medical history to determine if you have a Candida infection, but here are a few questions to ask yourself to see if you are at risk (the more questions that you answer yes to, the greater your risk):
• Have you taken repeated courses of antibiotics or steroids?
• Have you used birth-control pills?
• Have you had repeated fungal infections (athlete's foot, ringworm, jock itch, etc.)? |

 Beyond these questions that Frank suggests I add, "What are his prejudices? What are the burdens that she carries?" You also may add any other questions that you feel will help you to know and understand your ancestor. This exercise can stand on its own as a helpful tool to know your ancestors or it can be combined with the "burden basket" exercise that I do with folks. |

 Frequently Asked questions about Maggie's Soap Nuts
The following information is borrowed from Maggie's Soap Nuts website. It answers most of the common questions about soap nuts:
Can I use too many nuts?
We recommend two whole Maggie's Soap Nuts per load of hot water wash. For really dirty clothes, giant loads, or when washing in cold water, you can use more nuts. You'll know you've used too many nuts if your clothes feel stiff after washing. The stiffness results from excess saponin in the rinse water and is not harmful to you or the clothes. |

 When we looked at the web analytics on their site, they had a multi-page sign up for their newsletter that asked all sorts of really important questions. What we found is that one in 10 people who started that process actually finished it. We were losing 90 percent of the people who were interested in starting that relationship with us.
Mike: That doesn't surprise me.
Jennings: No! I went in, and we knocked that down. We cut out some questions. We tried to break it down and minimize the number of questions we ask. |

 The degree of dishonesty at work here is almost unbelievable to those who don't really know what's happening in the cancer industry.
Ten questions to ask yourself about the cancer industry
Consider these questions:
#1: Why does the cancer industry refuse to educate people about cancer prevention?
#2: If people keep donating money for the "search" for a cancer cure, why won't drug companies pledge to "open source" their patents on cancer drugs to benefit the people whose donations funded them in the first place? |

 Seven important questions about sunscreen
The next time you see some public service advertisement urging you to smother yourself and your children with sunscreen chemicals, think hard before taking action. Ask yourself these seven commonsense questions:
1) Is the sun really dangerous to humans? If so, how did humans survive for the last 350,000 years on planet Earth?
2) Have the chemicals used in sunscreen products ever been safety tested or approved by the FDA? (The answer is no.)
3) Who financially benefits when you keep buying and using sunscreen products? |

 Most sane people, when faced with such evidence, would ask the obvious questions: Could aspartame also cause cancer in humans? Should we review the safety of aspartame just in case?
Shutting down good science to protect profits
Virtually the entire health and medical system in the United States is not interested in these questions. Following the publication of this study, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a statement flatly denying aspartame poses any safety risk whatsoever, rejecting the idea that its safety or approval as a food ingredient should be reviewed at all. |

 Since its inception in 2002, BCA's Think Before You Pink campaign has been urging consumers to ask critical questions about the hundreds of pink ribbon products and promotions that are marketed every October in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCA calls it Breast Cancer Industry Month). Calling for transparency and accountability from companies that use pink ribbons to sell products, BCA believes that consumers can and should ask questions about how the money is being raised and where the money is going. |

 In cosmology we ask the questions, "How did it all begin? What made it begin? What is the universe like? How did the Big Bang happen?" We need only ask those same questions of ourselves. In Primal Therapy we revisit the years with our parents, race back to our grandparents' times, and from there (over months or years) move down to our primate ancestors. From there we travel to lower animal forms—again, the salamander. And then back to the elements of which we are made: the atoms and molecules of Stardust. |

 You tell your toddler to keep the questions coming. That's what this book is all about. questions.Two in particular, many times over. The first is, "Why?"
Why do so many Europeans inherit a genetic disorder that fills their organs with iron?
Why do the great majority of people with Type 1 diabetes come from Northern Europe?
Why does malaria want us in bed but the common cold want us at work?
Why do we have so much DNA that doesn't seem to do anything?
The second question, of course, is, "What can we do with that? |
| The more I plunged into research, the more questions I wanted answered. This book is the product of all the questions I asked, the research they led to, and some of the connections uncovered along the way. I hope it gives you a window into the beautiful, varied, and interconnected nature of life on this wonderful world we inhabit.
Instead of just asking what's wrong and what can be done about it, I want people to look behind the evolutionary curtain, to ask why this condition or that particular infection occurs in the first place. |

 Meditate, and dwell on your questions, and the answers will come to you.
Goals are many and varied, but they must be real. Goals can be short-term, medium-term, and long-term. They can be internal and external. To formulate and define your goals, start brainstorming without qualification, and write each one down. Next, divide your list into categories such as: spiritual, social, health, material, career, recreational, financial, and relationship, identifying what value each one fulfills. Next, look at your listing within categories to see if you have balance in your life. |

 THE BASIC FACTS
The questions I have been asked repeatedly over the years are these: If the cosmetics industry's promises and claims are often disingenuous, if many companies operate under shared ownership, and if you can't rely on what the ads or products describe, then what is real? What is and isn't possible when it comes to treating your skin and skin-care needs? |

 These are among the revolutionary questions facing frontier biologists, and they are finding that the answers are yes and yes. "The Quantum Elixir" article was devoted to water's role in biological activity—its behavior around DNA, in cells, and elsewhere in the body. The research reported on in the article has demonstrated that biological water is governed by a quantum energy called zero-point energy (ZPE), which is the lowest possible energy state of a quantum system. This ZPE energy often is equated with the emptiness of space, with the vacuum. |
| For every question we ask about who we are and how our bodies work, nature teases us with new questions, plants new clues right under our noses, and opens us to new possibilities of how the body regulates itself. Nature's creativity and outright novelty challenge us to remain open to what seemed absurd, and even impossible, to previous generations. Thomas Kuhn, the late professor of the history of science, is famous for his analysis of how scientific thought can be grouped into paradigms, which shift over time. |
