Stop using artificial sweeteners!  Here’s why.

Stop using artificial sweeteners! Here’s why.

  If you’ve been a reader of mine for a while, you probably know where I stand on the topic of artificial sweeteners.    In case you’re not sure, let me clarify:  They are POISON.    And the fact that they have been so widely used for decades proves once again that advertising works.    In this case, these toxic powders have been positioned as a dieter’s dream, even though they are associated with weight GAIN—not loss!  They’ve...

What you must know about Lyme disease

What you must know about Lyme disease

  If you ask the average person what they know about Lyme disease, they will likely say that it’s rare, it comes from a tick bite and it is treated with antibiotics.  Oh, if it were only that simple!  Unfortunately, the prevalence of Lyme disease continues to grow, it doesn’t always come from a tick bite, and antibiotics aren’t effective against the long-term symptoms.  Here’s what I mean—this is what you must know about Lyme...

Will this well-proven health measure be next on the chopping block?

Will this well-proven health measure be next on the chopping block?

  In case you haven’t noticed, marketing is all about creating a need (and subsequent demand) for a certain product.  This can be done in a number of ways.  First and foremost, everyone knows that sex sells, so typically the product being advertised is presented with a scantily clad model or two.  “New and different” formulas spark the consumer’s interest and desire to try the “new” version, even if it’s not significantly different from the...

Why is life expectancy dropping in the US?

Why is life expectancy dropping in the US?

  According to the CDC, the US currently spends about $3.8 trillion every year on healthcare.  That’s up a shocking 30 percent from the $2.6 trillion we spent back in 2009 (adjusted for inflation).  So why is it that our rates of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, autoimmune conditions and bone/joint disorders are either staying the same or going UP?  With all that money being thrown at healthcare, shouldn’t we be seeing disease rates decreasing?  And...

Ladies: Enough with the Botox already!

Ladies: Enough with the Botox already!

  I was wondering if it was my imagination at first, but it seems to me that more and more people (particularly women) are taking youthful appearance advice from the likes of Madonna, Cher or Dolly Parton. As in, Botox injections! While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to look youthful, when someone gets to the point where their upper lip won’t move when they smile or speak, or their mouth is more trout-like than...

Read this before you take a statin for cholesterol!

Read this before you take a statin for cholesterol!

  I would venture to say that there is no subject on God’s green earth that is as poorly understood as cholesterol. When talking about cholesterol, the extent of most people’s understanding is that it’s the demon that leads to heart disease and the magic number to strive for is 200, baby. And if your blood tests show you’re in the elevated range, welcome to the world of statins. But how did we get here? ...
