Jack Challem See book keywords and concepts | The most common sugars are identified on labels as sucrose, high-fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, corn-syrup solids, molasses, maple syrup, dextrose, turbinado sugar, cane sugar, brown sugar, and natural sweeteners. In addition, Xylitol, mannitol, sorbitol, and maltodextrin are sugars, although they are not well absorbed.
Raw sugar is simply dirty white sugar, and brown sugar is white sugar that has been colored with a little molasses—don't be fooled by their more natural look. Many brands of salt also contain small amounts of sugar. | Jeffrey M.

Be Careful of Misleading "Net Carbs" on Labels
Th e term net carbs refers to the total number of carbohydrates in a food, minus fiber, glycerin, and sugar alcohols. | Kevin Trudeau See book keywords and concepts | Do not eat high fructose corn syrup.
If you look at the ingredients of the product you are buying and see sugar as the number one ingredient, you may be concerned. In order to avoid this, food manufacturers use a variety of sweeteners such as sugar, dextrose, fructose, corn syrup solids, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, multidextrin, and a variety of others. If you were to add up all of the sugars, in most cases sugar would be the number one ingredient in most of these kinds of products. High fructose corn syrup is used primarily for two reasons. First, it is very inexpensive. | Jeffrey M. Smith See book keywords and concepts | GM Corn: Cornmeal, corn syrup, high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), baking powder, white vinegar, caramel, malt, confectioner's sugar, vanilla extract (contains corn syrup), and table salt (may contain a small amount of dextrose). | Herbert Ross, DC with Keri Brenner, L.Ac.

Guidelines for Healthy Eating
Avoid These Foods
Use These Foods Instead
Refined sugar in all its forms: white sugar (sucrose), fructose, corn syrup, sorbitol, mannitol, and many others. Synthetic sugars: aspartame, saccharin, and others.
Natural sweeteners: fruit juice, raw honey, organic maple syrup, molasses, barley malt syrup, dehydrated organic sugarcane juice. Avoid even these if you're diabetic or sugar intolerant.
Refined flours: white, bleached, unbleached, and enriched flour and products containing these flours. | Jack Challem See book keywords and concepts | The sugars come from evaporated cane juice and brown rice syrup, which are listed in the fine print on the package.
Despite their warm and fuzzy names, soft drinks in health food stores are no better than their supermarket cousins. A 12-ounce can of Blue Sky Natural soda contains 160 calories and 42 grams of sugars from "glucose-fructose syrup," which sounds suspiciously like high-fructose corn syrup. Similarly, a can of Boyland's Cane Cola has 41 grams of sugars.
Health and natural food stores do shine with a great many other products, though. | Byron J. Richards See book keywords and concepts | Do You Consume High-Fructose Diabetic syrup?
High-fructose corn syrup, in addition to being genetically modified, is devastating to metabolism. The standard diet for making a rat diabetic is to feed it high-fructose corn syrup and excess saturated fat (with no essential fatty acids). Recently, scientists wondered which of these two ingredients was really inducing the diabetes, so they tested them separately. Not surprisingly, they both caused diabetes. Excessive saturated fat piles up in body organs and clogs them to a halt. | volker schulz and Rudolf Hansel See book keywords and concepts | The word syrup is derived from the Arabic sirab, scharab or scherbet, meaning a sugary juice beverage. Syrups are viscous preparations for internal use containing at least 50 % sucrose and usually 60-65 %• The sugar content of syrups (about 66 %) is essential for extending their shelf life. Microorganisms cannot proliferate in saturated sugar solutions because highly concentrated solutions deprive the microbes of the water necessary for their development. Preservatives must be added to syrups with a lower sugar content to protect them from bacterial growth. | The Life Extension Editorial Staff See book keywords and concepts | Sugar has many names, including brown sugar, corn syrup, honey, molasses, maple syrup, high-fructose corn syrup, dextrin, raw sugar, fructose, polyols, dextrose, hydrogenated starch, galactose, glucose, sorbitol, fruit juice concentrate, lactose, brown rice syrup, xylitol, sucrose, mannitol, sorghum, maltose, and turbinado, to mention only a few.
• Avoid all fruit juices. Per glass, fruit juices contain the juice of many pieces of fruit and a large amount of fructose (fmit sugar), but no fiber. Instead, infrequently eat low-glycemic-rated fruit in small portions. | Brigitte Mars, A.H.G. See book keywords and concepts | A delicious syrup, similar to maple syrup, is made from the sap of the tree.
Other Uses
The leaves can be crushed and rubbed on the body to repel insects. They also can be simply scattered in a room to repel flies, and walnut leaf tea can be spritzed around living spaces to prevent bed bugs. The roots, hull, and leaves produce a black dye that is sometimes used in hair coloring.
Walnut oil is used to make soaps and nondrying paint. The wood has long been used in construction and woodworking.
In folkloric traditions, walnuts are carried as a charm for fertility. | Jack Challem See book keywords and concepts | Throw out any foods and beverages that contain sugar, including sucrose, fructose, corn syrup, and high-fructose corn syrup. Next, throw out all foods that are made with partially or fully hydrogenated oils. Look specifically for the word hydrogenated on labels because the types of oil may differ. In addition, dispose of all foods that contain shortening, corn oil, soybean oil, wheat, or flour.
You may be shocked by how much food you'll throw out. Reversing prediabetes means that you must emphasize fresh over packaged foods. | Gary Null See book keywords and concepts | Maple syrup. Does the quality and the unusual flavor of maple syrup justify the price? How much nutrition are you getting for your dollar?
Even when it's the real thing, maple syrup is still largely sugar.
And when it's not pure maple syrup—as most waffle and pancake syrups are not—it may be worse than sugar.
Consider this warning from Beatrice Trum Hunter, the author of Consumer Beware: what you are blissfully dribbling over your morning waffles may be rich in paraformaldehyde as well as sugar. | Tori Hudson, N.D. See book keywords and concepts | Eliminating refined sugar and simple sugars (corn syrup, honey, fructose, maple syrup, white grape juice concentrate, and others) will help to assure optimal immune function. Eliminating saturated fats such as red meat, butter, cheese, and ice cream, even in the short run, will enable the body to utilize essential fatty acids such as the fats from olive oil, canola oil, and ocean fish. These essential fatty acids are important in the promotion of the anti-inflammatory prostaglandins PgEl and PgE3; reducing inflammation is a primary goal in healing a sexually transmitted infection. | Dr Ron Roberts See book keywords and concepts | An alternative is to give infants syrup containing drugs. Although easy to give to a small child, the syrup has two disadvantages: it is slower to act, having to work through the stomach into the blood system before it is of use, and it has to be given in larger quantities than the inhaled drugs.
Alternative Treatments for Children
Not all the alternative treatments that we discuss in Part Two of this book will be suitable for children—for instance, a very strict food diet would not be appropriate for a young child. | Herbert Ross, DC with Keri Brenner, L.Ac. See book keywords and concepts | Natural sweeteners: fruit juice, raw honey, organic maple syrup, molasses, barley malt syrup, dehydrated organic sugarcane juice. Avoid even these if you're diabetic or sugar intolerant.
Refined flours: white, bleached, unbleached, and enriched flour and products containing these flours.
Organic whole grains: heirloom varieties, which aren't genetically altered, are best—such as Kamut, quinoa, amaranth, and spelt. People with gluten intolerance or celiac disease may tolerate these better. | David Hoffman, FNIMH, AHG See book keywords and concepts | One method is to use a syrup, which is the traditional way to make cough mixtures more palatable for children or to make any herbal preparation more "toothsome," as Culpeper would say.
A Simple syrup Base
Pour 1 pint of boiling water over 1yA pounds of sugar. Place over heat and stir until the sugar dissolves and the liquid begins to boil. Remove from heat immediately.
To give this simple syrup medicinal properties, mix 1 part of tincture with 3 parts of syrup and store for future use. To sweeten an infusion or decoction, it is simpler to add the sugar directly to the liquid. | Bradley J. Willcox, M.D., D. Craig Willcox, Ph.D., Makoto Suzuki, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | No syrup. Although real fruits are the best way of eating water-rich, low-calorie fruits, canned fruits are a convenient occasional alternative. But when you buy canned fruits, be conscious what liquid the fruits are stored in. There are four main types of liquid: heavy (or regular) syrup, light syrup, juice, and the fruit's own juice. The best is the fruit's own juice, then go for other juices. Never choose fruit stored in syrup—it's the triple whammy, high CD, heavy calories, and high Gl!
• Add vegetables and fruit to most dishes. | Gary Null and Amy McDonald See book keywords and concepts | Serves 6 to 8
Banana Heavenly Delight_
1 cup rice or soy milk
4 tablespoons Egg Replacer 4 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons almond extract 1/4 cup pure maple syrup 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 cup sliced bananas
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 cup agar flakes 1/4 cup roasted pecans
In a medium saucepan, bring the milk, Egg Replacer, extracts, syrup and nutmeg to a simmer. Stir constantly with a whisk and use a tapered spoon to make sure the bottom doesn't burn. Once thickened, remove from the heat and stir in the banana slices, and chill for 2 to 4 hours. | Marshall Editions See book keywords and concepts | This herb grows in most climates and is widely available in powder, bulk, or syrup form from Chinese herbalists. Take 1 tbsp of the syrup three times a day, or drink 1 cup of tea made from 12 g of the dried herb three times a day. Research has shown that Xia Gu Cao has broad antibiotic effects and is anti-staphylococci, which is the pathogen that causes impetigo.
• Shan Huang Shan: This patent powder form may not be carried widely by Chinese herbalists, but is available online. Take 1-3 g of the powder and apply it to the surface of impetigo. | Dr. Steven R. Gundry See book keywords and concepts | Yacon can be found in natural foods stores as a powder or syrup. Use it as a substitute for agave syrup in recipes or sweetening beverages.
Yogurt Use only unsweetened, unflavored yogurt, preferably organic and from grass-fed cows. Straus Family Creamery, Natural by Nature, and Organic Valley are good organic choices, as is Greek yogurt such as Fage.
TOOLS FOR SUCCESS
The chances are that you already have everything you need in your kitchen to get cooking the healthy Diet Evolution way. | Marshall Editions See book keywords and concepts | Drink the tea three to five times a day, or take 3 tbsp of elder syrup daily.
Eyebright: The iridoids, flavonoids, and lignans in eyebright impart astringent, expectorant, decongestant, and anti-inflammatory properties. Eyebright decreases profuse discharge, especially from the nasal and sinus passages. Infuse 3 g per cup of water, or take 3 ml of tincture three times daily.
Buckhorn plantain: This soothes the mucous membranes, while alleviating congestion and inflammation in the respiratory tract. | Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews See book keywords and concepts | Specialty Coffee Drinks
The nonfat latte or soy cappuccino is fine once in a while, but watch out for sugary coffee and tea beverages, whipped and blended coffee "shakes" with whipped cream and even chai tea lattes, which are often poured from a box containing chai tea and sugar already blended into a sweet syrup. | Joerg Gruenwald, Ph.D. See book keywords and concepts | Used in the pharmaceutical industry as a syrup for masking flavor.
BERBERIDIS RADICIS CORTEX
Medical use: For opium or morphine withdrawal. In folk medicine, the bark is used for liver malfunctions, gallbladder disease, jaundice, splenopathy, indigestion, diarrhea, especially linked to scrofulosis and tuberculosis, piles, renal disease, urinary tract disorders, gout, rheumatism, arthritis, lumbago, malaria, and leishmaniasis.
Efficacy has not been proven. Use for these indications is not advised. | Marshall Editions See book keywords and concepts | Take 1 tbsp of the syrup three times a day, or drink 1 cup of tea made from 12 g of the dried herb three times a day. Research has shown that Xia Gu Cao has broad antibiotic effects and is anti-staphylococci, which is the pathogen that causes impetigo.
• Shan Huang Shan: This patent powder form may not be carried widely by Chinese herbalists, but is available online. Take 1-3 g of the powder and apply it to the surface of impetigo. Cover the area with a sterilized cloth pad and tape it down to keep the pad in place. Change the pad twice a day. | | Eliminate all foods containing gluten from the diet, including ice •J cream and ice cream cones, baby cereal, canned meats, biscuits, infant
¦gyjl^r formula, bread, breakfast cereal, pasta, cakes and cake mixes, cookies, milk (malted and powdered), frankfurters, noodles, pudding mix, pancakes and pancake syrup, salad dressings, wheat flour, crackers, whipped cream substitutes, and potato chips. Grains to be avoided include wheat, rye, and barley. | | Boil the juice over a high heat, and then lower the temperature until the juice thickens into a syrup. Remove the juice from the heat and let it cool. Add enough sugar to absorb the liquid and let it dry in a warm place. Break the sugared watermelon into small pieces and store it in a jar. Dissolve 15 g {A oz) in boiling water and drink it three times a day.
