Got belly fat? Here’s how to get rid of it!

  With nearly seventy percent of Americans currently being overweight or obese, I think it’s safe to say that there’s no shortage of belly fat around.

Let’s look at several factors that are behind our “blossoming bellies” and more importantly, how you...

Avoid this fast track to an early grave

Avoid this fast track to an early grave

  As I was sitting at a red light at a busy intersection yesterday, I saw a car traveling at an unsafe speed cut someone off, then it made a quick right turn on a dime. Into the McDonald’s drive-thru entrance. Too bad for him that the line was pretty long, so his quick pursuit of a Big Mac was about to come to a screeching halt.

Is this why we’re so sick and overweight?

See if you can guess who said it: "I know, too, that the body is affected differently by bread according to the manner in which it is prepared...

Are you still using these poisons?

Are you still using these poisons?

  Arguably one of the greatest frauds committed by the food industry against the human race is the creation of artificial sweeteners. I say that because at no other time in our history have we encountered such deadly poisons being willingly consumed by the masses…while our “regulators” (the FDA) have apparently ignored the mounding evidence of their health dangers and have declared them “safe for the general population.” And the marketing angles are perfect!
