 It's only general Mills.
If you look at the ingredients label on this whole grain Total cereal, you'll find that they are, indeed, telling the truth. The first ingredient is whole-grain wheat. That's what I want to see: Whole-grain wheat. Not "refined white flour," "bleached flour," or "wheat flour" -- I want to see whole-grain wheat. Of course, the second ingredient is sugar, and that's not something I'm thrilled about. However, again, this is still a step in the right direction.
Because let's face it, most consumers out there don't read labels at all. |
| I'd be floored, and I'd rave endlessly about general Mills if they went straight to natural herbal sweeteners.
Of course, to do that, the FDA has to give up protecting the Nutrasweet monopoly and actually legalize stevia as a safe food ingredient, and that's another story altogether. It seems to take an act of God just to get the FDA to do anything for the public good these days, so don't expect miracles any time soon on this front. |
| However, for the mass market, this is a huge move in the right direction, and that's why I think general Mills truly deserves a lot of credit for doing it. Hopefully some of the other big cereal companies will follow suit. Maybe in time they will also release whole-grain foods or switch everything over to whole grains. That would be what we'd really want to see.
In terms of the health spectrum for grains, by the way, let me give you my personal view on all of this. Over on one side, in the unhealthy category, we have processed grains or anything refined or bleached. |
| And that's, again, why this decision by general Mills is such a big deal.
You might ask, "OK, Mike, what's wrong with all of the refined grains?" This might be a review for all of you who are familiar with this information, but I've got to cover this for the new readers. What's wrong with refined grains? There's a lot wrong with them. If you take a whole grain out of the ground and then you mill it, you end up stripping away virtually all of the nutrition. As much as 98 percent of the magnesium, for example, is gone by the time it's refined. |
| These whole-grain cereals from general Mills are a good part of that outstanding nutrition.
You would be even better off making sure your kids don't eat any other bleached, refined, processed white flour at all. Don't buy white bread; buy only whole-grain breads. Don't buy toaster pastries made with this refined white flour; go to the health food store and get whole-wheat toaster pastries. Don’t feed your kids syrup made with nothing but sugar and flavors, or any of these other things like jellies or jams made with refined sugar and a little bit of fruit flavor. Go get the real thing. |

 Just look at what's happening to general Motors. general Motors is shutting down. general Motors is probably headed for bankruptcy. One of the largest corporations ever produced by the United States is about to go bankrupt. Why? In my opinion, the answer is that general Motors is spending more on health insurance than it is on steel. They're operating in a disease economy, and in a disease economy, it costs way too much for workers because workers are diseased, and you have to cover the costs of treating all that disease so you can have health insurance for all those workers. |

 In 1965, 42.4% of American adults were smokers, compared to 20.9% in 2004. This decline began after the Surgeon General's first report on the dangers of smoking in 1964. This warning could have been made earlier -- in 1957 and again in 1959 then-Surgeon general Leroy Burney was the first federal officer to publicly state smoking was a cause of lung cancer.
As discussed in various NewsTarget stories, when the Surgeon General's report finally surfaced in 1964, the American Medical Association did not endorse the report. |

| So, once again, general Mills is demonstrating some courageous leadership out there. Hopefully consumers will continue to buy these products and we will see increased demand for these whole-grain food products. I believe companies that introduce whole-grain products deserve to be financially rewarded for having the courage to make this wise nutritional choice. |

 In general, a physical examination by a primary care clinician—such as an internist, general practitioner, family physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant—should include a peek into your ears and a periodic hearing test as you age.
Because our ears are so interrelated with our other sensory organs, many ear specialists are also trained in diagnosing and treating nose and throat disorders. Here are some medical doctors and hearing specialists whom you may need to call to check your ears. |

 I might also add at this point, for the benefit of any readers who feel somewhat out of depth with the generally 'scienticised' nature of the climate change debate, a very general note of background on global warming. Essentially, this term (which I use interchangeably with 'climate change'; although technically they do mean slightly different things) refers to the increase in global atmospheric temperatures as a result of increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the air around us. |

 General Mills offers excellent information regarding "What Is a Whole Grain?" and "How to Find a Whole Grain Product." The good news is that general Mills products are readily available in every grocery store across the nation.
Kashi (www.kashi.com ) is another of one of my favorite whole-grain brands. I particularly love the Company's logo: "7 whole grains on a mission." I stock Kashi products in both of my Natural Medicine Stores, but they are also available on the health food or organic food aisle in almost any grocery store.
Another brand to check out is Food For Life (www.foodfor-life. |

Gynecological Problems
Menstruation problems and complications in childbirth are very common medical conditions in Southern Ecuador. Sixteen plants were employed to treat these disorders, with six species used to cure vaginal infections, and four species each for the treatment of childbirth complications and menstrual regulation. |

 In the case of e-smog, the Liver Driver and Energetic Star 1 (Lymphatic Immunity and general Radiation) Infoceuticals may also be beneficial, but the NES scan is the final indicator of what in the body-field needs to be corrected.
The Spleen-Omentum Driver is important because of its many bioenergetic links, especially to the thymus. |
| He also wondered if the samples from CFS patients in general showed any energetic peculiarities when they were matched against each other, blood sample against blood sample or saliva sample against saliva sample. "No one had ever thought to ask that question as far as I knew," he said, "and I thought it a most interesting question!" He put out the word, and soon practitioners he knew from several countries were sending him saliva samples from their CFS clients.3 What he found intrigued him. |

 If you're trying to lose weight, I cannot emphasize too much how important high doses of folic acid and B vitamins in general are in reducing the buildup in your bloodstream of the amino acid homocysteine, which has been directly linked to increased coronary artery disease, stroke, and Alzheimer's disease. A word of warning: More than 300-500 mg of vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) can cause severe neurologic problems. |

| Petrochemicals and solvents. Many general hygiene products—such as skin cream, lotion, soap, shampoo, perfume, hair spray, and room deodorizers—contain petrochemicals. These compounds often have chemical structures similar to estrogen and therefore act like estrogen when introduced into the body. Industrial solvents are another source of xenoestrogens and are commonly found in cosmetics, fingernail polish, fingernail polish remover, glue, paint, varnish, cleaning products, carpet, fiberboard, and other processed woods.

 The ubiquity of phthalates in the general population surprised the scientists. "From a public health perspective, these data provide evidence that phthalate exposure is both higher and more common than previously suspected," they wrote.1
But the biggest surprise came when they broke down the data by age and gender. In their paper, the CDC researchers reported that women age 20 to 40 appeared to have the highest levels of DBP in their bodies. This was a concern. |

| Because geopathic stress is not a disease-causing mechanism accepted by conventional science, it is not something the general public is educated about, so it can seem strange and even outlandish to address it as part of a natural health care program. However, NES and other natural health modalities, such as homeopathy and acupuncture, acknowledge the effects of geopathic stress on health. |
| Consciousness cannot be "found" in the brain, although various states of consciousness and memory can be correlated to brain activity and, according to conventional imaging techniques, even to specific areas of the brain. The general philosophy of consciousness has been labeled metaphysics by allopathic researchers, so they tend not to include it in their realm of inquiry. |

| Another small study had caught Charlotte's attention: Jane Hoppin at the National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences reported that African-American women in the Washington DC area had twice the levels of DBP in their bodies as the general population. "Where was it coming from? We knew that there were phthalates in food wraps and food containers, vinyl shower curtains, vinyl flooring and wall coverings. But why would there be a difference in gender? Why would there be a difference in African Americans? Something else was going on."
Charlotte wasn't going to let it go. |

1. The universe is an interconnected network of information and energy. The human body is part of this web of relationships (via feedback loops), and our health is dependent upon the body's correct processing of this information and energy.
2. Although genetics and cellular chemistry are important facets of how the body works, there is a deeper reality to the body, one in which physics, especially the field of quantum electrodynamics, governs physiology. |

| She had come to make a general statement about women's right to know about toxic exposures. But after hearing the science presentations, Karen added a personal story to her speech: her sister Olivia, a former fashion model, had given birth to a premature son with a birth defect of the penis. She wondered if phthalates and cosmetics could be connected.
Olivia got the phone call from Karen right afterward. "She said you need to check this out," recalled Olivia. "This could be what happened with DJ. So I looked into it. I started reading articles about phthalates and looking it up on the Web. |

Oxley would join the DC lobby effort, freeing up lobbyist Mike Thompson to "fight 24-7 in California." A new stepped-up communications plan would be spearheaded by Kathleen Dezio, who was "fresh from similar challenges in the beverage industry. |
