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...

Seven ways you may be raising your cancer risk

Seven ways you may be raising your cancer risk

  There are few words that inspire more fear and dread than: CANCER.  I think it’s safe to say that most people wouldn’t cherish the thought of having to face cancer…and would want to do everything they could to avoid having their number come up in the cancer lottery.  Problem is that many people are rolling out the red carpet for our number two killer and don’t even know it!  Here are seven ways that...

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...

10 foods you must avoid

10 foods you must avoid

  I had a conversation with an acquaintance who told me she was in good health because:  Her cholesterol was under control with Lipitor  Her blood pressure stayed right around 120/80 with atenolol  Nexium kept her acid reflux at bay  Metformin brought her A1C down to under 6%    THAT'S good health?    This woman is anything BUT healthy.    Sadly, people like this uber-medicated woman are increasingly common in our society today, and that includes our...

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? ...

The real culprit behind high blood pressure (Hint: it’s not salt)

The real culprit behind high blood pressure (Hint: it’s not salt)

  As of this writing, an incredible, unprecedented 116 million American adults have high blood pressure (hypertension). That’s just a hair shy of 50 percent of us! Out of those 116 million, only about 29 million (1 out of 4) have it under control. Note that the hypertension population got a big “boost” back in 2017 when the high blood pressure threshold was changed from 140/90 down to 130/80.  When that occurred, the percentage of...
