The many ways PPIs can kill you
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs)—such as Nexium, Prilosec and Prevacid—are the go-to treatment for a variety of digestive issues including acid reflux, GERD, indigestion, heartburn, and ulcers.
With annual sales of over $10 billion, drug manufacturers certainly want to maintain that status and keep their cash cow producing revenue.
PPIs “work” (and I mean that in the loosest sense of the word) by raising your stomach’s pH and shutting down its acid production. With less acid in the stomach to shoot up in your throat, you feel relief from reflux and other digestive symptoms.
What could possibly go wrong?
Could these be making us obese?
Now?
We’re looking at nearly 40 PERCENT of adults, and about one out of five children!
It’s time we started asking ourselves what in the world is going on!
First let’s start with…
Does meat eating cause diabetes?
Another “study” has come out that trumpets a BOLD statement about diet and health, but when you dive deeper into the details, you see there are several holes and omissions.
This time it’s about meat eating and Type 2 diabetes.

Don’t fall for the “flu season” hype (plus a new recipe for you)
In other words, it’s the time of year when people get bombarded with ads EVERYWHERE and downright bullied into getting flu shots, with fear mongering being the tactic of choice.
But what most people don’t realize is that influenza (and other viruses) is in our environment 12 months a year—not just from fall to spring!

Diabetes now linked to these chronic conditions
Currently in the US about 30 million people have diabetes, with the majority of those cases (90 – 95 percent) being type 2.
In addition, it is estimated that another 80 million have “pre-diabetes”--elevated blood glucose.
And as the number of diabetes cases continues to rise, scientists are spending more time investigating its relationship to other conditions.
For example, past studies have shown that people with diabetes are more likely to report muscle or joint pain than nondiabetics.
But the latest study out of Denmark is more specific…and worrisome.
