See article keywords and concepts |  Bad foods that are actually great for your waist"
The main points to get across to the CNN editors are:
The article promotes processed junk foods that actually cause weight GAIN, not weight loss.
Recommending that readers eat more junk foods is irresponsible journalism. It misleads readers into pursuing unhealthful lifestyles that will only result in more weight gain and the development of degenerative disease.
Many of the foods recommended in the article are well documented to promote cancer, diabetes, heart disease and other serious health problems. |

Wood, fuel, and minerals, too, are merely various forms of locked-up sun energy. In fact, all matter is "frozen" light. Our body cells are bundles of sun energy. The glucose and oxygen we feed them are products of the sun. We couldn't think or process a single thought without the molecules of sun-energized glucose and oxygen.
Air, which is warmed by the sun, is capable of absorbing water from the oceans while passing over them. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Some industry observers insist that when food corporations bombard would-be, unsuspecting customers with sensual, pleasurable images or messages about cereals, fast foods, cookies, candies, chips, ice cream, and other junk foods, they may be to blame because, in a way, they're thwarting people's sense of personal responsibility and choice.
In fact, scientists affiliated with the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom released a study in the Journal of Neuroscience in May 2006, which supports this point of view. | | Kids are bombarded with ads for junk foods. There's no restraint from the food companies.
"If you can link misleading advertising to childhood disease, you've got yourself not only a lawsuit, but a movement," continues the founder of
Coale Cooley, a Washington, D.C.-based mass tort law firm. "We're not bringing down the food industry next Tuesday, but there are legitimate legal issues here. | | All the studies unquestionably showed the benefit of restricting refined sugar and low-density 'junk foods.' They found significant declines in antisocial behavior. The scientists revealed, as I have, that sugar and refined foods taken in disproportionate amounts could contribute to antisocial behavior," explains Dr. Schauss, now lead scientist at AIBMR Life Sciences, Inc., in Washington State.

Soon thereafter, the teens became more rational, better behaved, and less moody. "Classrooms became calmer, more learning began taking place, and students started getting better grades," reports the former dean. In addition, they attended school more regularly, had improved concentration, required less disciplining, and felt healthier. | | Since sugar-loaded junk foods strip our bodies of such nutrients, we benefit from these extra vitamins and minerals.
* Organic foods are safer. The soil organic foods are grown in is richer, containing no herbicides or pesticides to destroy or dissolve the natural nutrients in the plants and the fruits. On the other hand, regular crops are contaminated with pesticides, other chemicals, and irradiation, and undergo genetic modification. Organic foods are exposed to fewer nitrates and other harmful residues. sf Organic foods are healthier for children in their growth years. |

Next Steps: Integrating This Information
So those are the Seven Laws of Nutrition. Now, after reading this book, you know far more about nutrition than most medical doctors graduating from four years of medical school. If it took you six hours to read this, you have six times the exposure to information about nutrition than a typical M.D. graduating today. | | We should also ban vending machines, especially from public schools and work places when those vending machines offer junk foods that contain ingredients known to promote disease.
We can also tax foods by levying things such as the junk food tax. Although I'm not a big fan of increasing taxes or using taxes for social reform, it is true that taxing junk foods would make them less affordable to most citizens and might cause some people to choose alternative sources of food such as healthy snack foods. |

Fruits and vegetables no longer pack the nutritional wallop they once did; their nutrient value has declined as much as 38 percent since 1950. |

If any of these scenarios sound familiar, you're not alone — far from it. Nearly everyone in America has fallen victim to the tactics of these health and fitness industries that get richer while we get fatter. The Big Fat Health and Fitness Lie aims to protect you against the onslaught of fraudulent claims and high-pressure tactics so prevalent in the advertising and promotion of products and services that have no chance of helping you. | | The chemicals, sugars and fats found in most junk foods disrupt the chemical balance in the brain and cause a lack of energy, depression, stress and cravings for the very foods that create the imbalance in the first place. When the brain is out of balance it will crave the wrong things as a survival mechanism. Feed the brain right and the cravings will dissolve.

See book keywords and concepts | | Nut eaters may follow a healthier diet (lower in animal proteins and junk foods) than people who abstain from nuts, and those who are overweight may shun nuts because of their high-calorie content. Richer foods like nuts require more energy to digest, so more calories may be used in the digestion process.
Food is still by far the best medicine for most ailments plaguing the human body. If used wisely and prepared carefully before its consumption, food can create miraculous cures of the most common diseases. I have discussed a number of such healing foods and herbs in Chapter 7. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Eating poor-quality junk foods, however, is comparable to building a house with a shoddy foundation and frame. The key to recovering from prediabetes is using better building materials for the body—swapping healthy foods for the unhealthy ones.
In the first chapter of Stop Prediabetes Now, we explain how the intertwined problems of overweight and prediabetes have gotten out of hand. There are quizzes to help you assess your risk of developing prediabetes or weight problems and a description of the most important medical tests for detecting prediabetes. |

See article keywords and concepts |  History will reveal America to be a nation that burned itself out on drugs, debt spending and junk foods, destroying the health its own people until its population could hardly even reproduce without medical intervention. Lacking any useful ideas, steeped in the defense of the status quo and abandoning the true needs of its own people, American political leaders have set our nation on a destructive course that may prove impossible to reverse. And they seem to want to destroy as many other nations as possible along the way -- as long as it generates more profits for U.S. |

See book keywords and concepts |  For example, we cannot legislate the eating habits of millions of adults; however, people in many communities have successfully urged their governments to prohibit the sale of junk foods in public schools. It's a small step, one of a great many steps to be taken, but an important step nonetheless.
It's also important that we relearn how to connect with other human beings, to break bread with them. To do this, we must consider what we share in common instead of emphasizing our opposing political, social, and religious views. |

See article keywords and concepts |  The fact that food companies are allowed to market sugary, nutritionally-depleted junk foods to children has been described by Adams as causing, "...irreversible damage to the future of our nation and its citizens." junk foods cause nutritional deficiencies which lead to chronic diseases and behavioral disorders, explains Adams. "That our federal regulators, both the FDA and FTC, continue to allow these harmful foods to be aggressively marketed to children is both unconscionable and unacceptable," Adams adds. |

Choose to have healthier menus, using organic foods, and transition to organic ingredients (no pesticides, antibiotics, hormones, irradiation or genetically engineered ingredients). Read the food labels and look out especially for the following chemicals:
• Sunset yellow (El 10 or FD&C Yellow 6) is a dye used in, among other foods, orange jellies and squashes, apricot jam and packet soups. |

MILK
For decades, dairy trade associations and lobbying groups have told Americans that drinking milk strengthens bones. Now they claim that dairy helps us lose weight. As in many aspects of nutrition, the evidence linking dairy foods to health conditions is complicated and contradictory. Dairy foods may have lots of calcium and other nutrients, but they are high in saturated fat (the bad kind) and calories. |

TIP: EXERCISE
Regular exercise is crucial for stimulating blood flow, reducing stress, and unclogging o arteries, all of which increase sexual performance. Find an exercise that you enjoy and practice it four times a week. | | Avoid junk foods, which have high amounts of toxins that contribute to acne formation. Simple carbohydrates and sugars encourage oil production and feed bacteria and yeast. Also, the sugar-regulating hormone insulin increases skin inflammation. Avoid food allergens such as wheat, milk, and corn and any foods to which you may be intolerant.
Supplements: Take 50 mg of zinc picolinate three times a day for one to three months to enhance the immune system, nourish the skin, and reduce build-up of dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Take 10,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day to reduce sebum production. | | Nux vomica: If you are prone to allergic rhinitis symptoms when stress levels are high, especially if this is combined with a lack of sleep, reliance on junk foods and caffeine to 235 keep the pace, and cigarettes and alcohol to unwind, use Nux vomica. Signature symptoms include itchiness and irritation in the ears, throat, and/or roof of the mouth. The nose may be unpleasantly sensitive to strong odors and perfumes, with repeated, violent bouts of sneezing. The nose runs freely by day, especially when in the fresh, open air, and gets very stuffed up at night. | | Common triggers that call for this remedy include too much stress and tension, and/or a diet that is high in junk foods.
Lycopodium: This can be helpful as a remedy for treating an acute episode of constipation that results from traveling. Confirmatory symptoms include bloating and distention in the belly with noticeably loud rumbling and gurgling sounds. Constipation may alternate with diarrhea if there hasn't been a bowel movement for a few days.
Alumina: If constipation manifests itself as soft stools that are passed reluctantly and with great difficulty, consider Alumina. | | Avoid eating simple sugars, including junk foods like sweets, cookies, and carbonated drinks. These foods contribute to blood sugar instability. Avoid cow's milk. Some studies show a link between cow's milk and diabetes in children. Use stevia or xylitol as a sweetener, which are safe for diabetics and are healthier choices.
Supplements: Take a high-quality multivitamin as directed to obtain many of the nutrients involved with blood sugar metabolism. Take 200-400 meg of chromium a day to improve glucose metabolism and balance blood sugar levels. | | Avoid sugar, dairy products, refined foods, fried foods, junk foods, alcohol, and caffeine. These foods wreak havoc on hormones that affect the prostate and increase inflammation. Use an elimination diet to determine whether you have any food sensitivities. Cut out a common allergen, such as wheat, dairy, corn, oranges, and soy, for three weeks and then reintroduce it at the end of the third week to see if any changes occur. Flaxseeds contain phyto-nutrients that balance estrogen levels. Grind 2-4 tbsp and add them to your food daily. |

The first step in resolving sleep disorders, snoring, and sleep apnea is to avoid junk foods, improve your blood-sugar levels, and lose weight. Eliminate or at least greatly reduce your consumption of caffeinated beverages. Avoid taking any supplements with vitamin B6 later than midafternoon because large amounts of this vitamin can stimulate vivid dreams.
These supplements might help you sleep better.

People who dine at fast-food restaurants two or more times a week are far more likely to gain weight and develop prediabetes, compared with those who rarely eat fast foods.
On a typical day, about one-third of U.S. children eat at fast-food restaurants. Fast-food restaurants form clusters around schools, and, unfortunately, school cafeterias and vending machines aren't much better, nutritionally. |

See book keywords and concepts | | In any case, an infection is not a disease; it represents the body's natural responsiveness to neutralize and remove toxic substances that are generated by such simple events as overeating, dehydration, consumption of junk foods, and previous exposure to antibiotics. The body pays a high price for being exposed to antibiotics. The poison of the drug destroys not only infectious bacteria (pathogens) but also friendly bacteria that help us digest our food, remove toxins, and produce important micro-nutrients such as B vitamins. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Instead of doing the responsible thing of addressing children's nutritional habits, of taking junk foods out of schools, banning the advertising of soft drinks, junk foods and sugar cereals to children, instead of giving them some recess time, what do we do? We drug them. We say, "Oh, well, they just have some brain chemistry imbalance," and we dose them full of drugs.
That is not an answer to the problems of our nation. We need to ban these drugs; we need to outlaw them. |

This is a taste that only genuine healthy people will likely appreciate.
Chocolate Spreads
Empowered Foods also makes a product called Rawtella Hazelnut Chocolate Spread, which is a raw foods alternative to the popular Nutella product. It's groovy good. Very rich. Don't eat this stuff while watching TV... |
