See article keywords and concepts |  Watch out for use of the following:
High fructose corn syrup (a refined sweetener linked to diabetes and obesity)
Sugar (refined table sugar)
Sucrose (also a refined sugar)
Sodium benzoate (a dangerous chemical preservative)
Apple juice (a filler juice and natural sweetener)
Grape juice (also used as a filler juice, better than sugars but still cheaper than superfruit juices
#7: How do I shop for a superfruit juice product?
Here's some quick advice:
Top choice: 100% pure superfruit juice, made from fresh fruits (not from concentrate), packaged in glass. |

See article keywords and concepts |  It's a cooked, sugary apple pie made with hydrogenated oils, refined white flour and refined sugar in the crust. To me, that's not fruit. That's junk food. But medical studies call that "fruit."
The same is true with vegetables: a lot of people might think spinach lasagna counts as a vegetable serving. And, again, I consider that to be junk food. It's loaded up with cheese, it probably has some sort of chemical taste enhancer if it's been purchased at the store, it has refined carbohydrates in the crust, and it probably has refined sugar in the tomato sauce. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Processed sugar: Sugar greatly impacts the healthy functioning of the nervous system, and refined sugar is a lot like crack in the way it alters (and impairs) brain function. All refined sugars should be avoided, including high-fructose corn syrup (the sweetener in sodas), dextrose, sucrose and others. While you're at it, avoid white bread and refined grains, too, because they're very similar to sugars in the way they impact the nervous system.
Aspartame: This artificial chemical sweetener greatly impairs healthy nervous system function. |

See article keywords and concepts |  A lot of oils, when refined, are stripped of their antioxidants, so they oxidize readily. That's why refining oils is a very tricky process.
Steve: What are people using this for?
Goodry: The reason why coconut oil has become so popular is that there's a lot of recent information coming out, showing that it helps to reduce weight because of the medium and short chain fatty acids. In addition, it's 65 percent lauric acid. What is special about lauric acid is that you find it in mother's breast milk. The mother's body makes lauric acid for the breast milk to build immunity in the baby. | | People do eat processed and refined fats, which are a lot harder for the body to break down. This is a lot easier for your body to break down because it's a raw fat.
Steve: If people are interested in this product, can they go to a website?
Goodry: We have a website, http://www.qualityfirst.on.ca/, or they can contact me. I'm the national distributor, if they're interested in buying the product. We're also putting together a couple of websites, where eventually, you'll be able to order them online. Right now, we're selling it to health food stores. |

Health Canada is of the opinion that refined oil from cotton line 1445 is as safe and nutritious as cottonseed oil from current commercial cotton varieties."

See article keywords and concepts |  Trim Spa isn't so powerful that you can just go crazy on eating high sugar foods, but it does offer a protective effect, and thus I would recommend it strongly if you're ever going to eat a meal containing desserts or refined carbohydrates. That includes all breads, cereals, and anything made with white flour or refined sugars. That especially includes soft drinks, which are sweetened with a highly refined added sugar known as high-fructose corn syrup. So, glucomannan is a useful ingredient, and it's the number one ingredient in Trim Spa. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Excessive consumption of refined foods (i.e., the white group) such as sugar, white flour, and white rice has been found to raise blood sugar levels and stimulate insulin release, which then negatively impacts hormone balance. Therefore, this diet does not allow refined or processed foods.
Caffeine. Studies have shown that drinking two cups of coffee a day can increase estrogen levels. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Refined white flour (enriched, bleached flour) is not just "lacking the fiber" as many people believe, but it has been stripped of nutrients—by some estimates a full 80 to 90 percent of all the micronutrients that were originally there! When refined, the fiber, antioxidants including vitamin E and selenium, as well as a slew of other key micronutrients like magnesium, zinc, potassium and the B vitamins are stripped right off. More than 50 percent of the thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, B6, folate, and vitamin E are lost. | | By law flour manufacturers have to fortify their refined flour with some of the same nutrients that were milled away. And those fortifications don't include important phytochem-icals like lignans, phenolic acids, phytoestrogens, and other key nutrients.
Refined white flour products have no place in your SuperFoods weight loss plan. You'll find it in the flour sack you've got in the pantry and in many common foods like cookies, crackers, baked goods, doughnuts, and so on. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The gymnasts are endowed with what's called "refined dexterity" in movements, which requires extremely precise coordination and motor qualities. Ocular muscles need this extraordinary quality—refined dexterity—to fulfill as complex a task as focusing is.
This phenomenon is underestimated, since we were born with this natural motor ability (in our eyes as well), but long, hard work is needed to become a gymnast. When you have a visual error, and you eventually reach 20/20 vision, your success is as though you obtained a 10/10 score at springboard. Surely, it's not an easy task. |
Steven V. Joyal
See book keywords and concepts |  The unfortunate truth is that most people tend to eat too many foods that are nutritionally deficient (for example, foods that are refined, commercially processed, or overloaded with saturated fat and omega-6 fats). Another factor that robs you of the nutrients you should get from your food is that many fresh fruits, vegetables, and other unrefined foods are lower in important nutrients than they should be because of adverse growing conditions, poor food handling techniques, poor cooking methods, and poor soil quality low in trace minerals.

See article keywords and concepts |  Pizza is made with refined flour (which lacks vitamins and minerals) that's cooked to high temperatures (creating cancer-causing acrylamides), then smothered with tomato sauce made with refined sugar (yes, there's sugar in most pizza sauce), then layered with more processed meat (yet more cancer risk) and processed cheese (can you spell H-E-A-R-T D-I-S-E-A-S-E?). Slapping a few flappy bits of overcooked green peppers and canned mushrooms into this pie does NOT make it a health food.
Geesh. You would think this stuff would be obvious by now. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Chromium is found in the outer bran portions of grains, but much of it is lost in the milling and processing of white flour, the primary ingredient in most refined bread and pasta products. The chromium that we do obtain from food sources can be depleted in the body by various factors, including a high-carbohydrate diet, infections, and physical and emotional stress. Urinary excretion of chromium can increase as much as fiftyfold under stress.46 A high intake of refined sugar also tends to deplete the body of chromium, as the mineral is used up in removing sugars from the blood. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Avoid anything with high-fructose corn syrup (like sodas), and don't feed them sweets made with refined sugar. The first few months of a baby's life are crucial for imprinting taste expectations, so use that time to expose them to fruits, vegetables and other natural food sources rather than refined, processed ingredients.

See article keywords and concepts |  The list of such ingredients that should be banned from the food supply -- but won't be -- include MSG, processed sodium, refined white sugar, refined white flour, aspartame, saccharin, hydrogenated oils, artificial colors, chemical preservatives, color fixer chemicals and homogenized dairy fats (which cause heart disease). By screaming "China!" to the U.S. press and pointing the finger at dangerous Chinese-made products, the Food and Drug Administration diverts scrutiny from its own lousy lack of meaningful food safety enforcement with U.S. manufacturers.

See article keywords and concepts |  But I'm willing to say it:
You should consume less red meat, less milk and dairy products, less refined sugar, less refined and milled wheat, and less salt. You should eat no monosodium glutamate, no chemical taste enhancers, no excitotoxins, no artificial chemical sweeteners, no artificial colors, nothing that's been processed, refined, or packaged. You should eat nothing containing sodium nitrite, and nothing that's been smoked, such as smoked meats. You should eat nothing that's heavily advertised, or sold with seductive marketing practices, and so on. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Magnesium is a fairly soluble mineral, which is why boiling vegetables can result in significant losses; in cereals and grains, it tends to be concentrated in the germ and bran, which explains why white refined grains contain relatively little magnesium by comparison with their unrefined counterparts.
Whole-wheat bread, for example, has twice as much magnesium as white bread because the magnesium-rich germ and bran are removed when white flour is processed. | | For example, refined wheat flour has only 5% of the vitamin E as whole wheat flour.
It is reasonable as well to suspect chronic latent magnesium deficiency in anyone eating white bread and white rice and other heavily processed foods.

See article keywords and concepts |  That means no refined sugars... ever! No refined grains (white flour, for example), no heavy use of sweeteners and the lifetime avoidance of sugary soda pop. Aside from starving tumors, eating foods low in sugar and avoiding simple carbs will also keep your weight in check while helping prevent blood sugar disorders such as type-2 diabetes.
What to avoid on the labels: high-fructose corn syrup, sugar, sucrose, enriched bleached flour, white rice, white pastas, white breads and other "white" foods. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The absorbency of this powdet is ideal for oilier skin types, but it isn't as refined as the pressed powders from Bobbi Brown, M.A.C., Stila, or even Clinique's own Clarifying Powder Makeup above. The eight shades are beautiful and there are some good options for light and dark skin tones.
© $$$ Soft Finish Pressed Powder ($18.50) is intended by Clinique to be used for drier skin, and that makes sense, as this talc-based formula has a creamier, silky feel and smooth, even coverage. The light-diffusing claims are bogus, and this is down to two shades, so your choices are limited. | | The 21 shades have been refined a bit since this foundation was last reviewed, and a few of the poot colors are gone. Still, compared to several other Clinique foundations, the palette isn't as neutral. The following colors are best avoided by most skin tones: Light, Cream Chamois, Ivory, Linen, Neutral, Vanilla, Porcelain Beige, Sunny, and Honeyed Beige. Alabaster and Breeze are the best neutral shades if you have fair skin, while Amber and Clove are attractive dark shades.
