Corn Syrup Sweetened Beverages and Diabetes

The recent meeting of the American Chemical Society discussed the increase in diabetes in
Americans related to high fructose corn syrup used to sweeten beverages.

These beverages had very high levels of carbonyl compounds such as methyl glyoxal which is
believed to cause tissue damage linked to diabetes.

The gallons and gallons of such beverages that are guzzled by all, including children, can thus
poison the body and lead to diabetes.

Plastic can poison you

BISPHENOL A: Bisphenol A is an estrogen like chemical used to make plastics. It is used in some beverage and baby bottles and the linings of food cans. Most people likely have detectable levels in their blood.
Testing in mice has shown chromosomal abnormalities, enlarged prostates of male offspring. Statements in Reproductive Technology expressed great concern about human pathologic effects.

People in US have been systematically poisoned

Since the beginning of corporate farms, large scale food processing, long shelf life foods, large food markets the food supply of the United States has been systematically infused with large amounts of chemicals foreign to the natural human metabolism. The highly effective chemical fertilizers used on large farms, the hormones and antibiotics used in 'animal farms', the numerous chemicals used to 'stabilize' processed foods and the numerous pesticides and fungicides all add chemicals to the food chain. Large fatty fish such as tuna are now carrying high levels of mercury. Many fowl and red meat feeding systems use antibiotics and hormones.
The food processing industry has a large amount of chemicals added to improve 'taste', 'mouth feel', and visual attraction. All of these add to the chemicals eaten daily by those in the standard US food chain.
With all these chemicals in the diet and environment it is no wonder that several diseases have seen an increase. With all these chemicals in the diet it is almost impossible to pinpoint a unique cause for any of this increase.

Understanding

Communication is always the key. The advertisements for The Cancer Centers of America contain an advantage of their system that is not featured. They 'communicate with' their patient and do not just 'talk to' them. The essence of communcation is understanding what was supposedly communicated. The only way to do this is to stop after telling someone something and ask, "Now tell me what I just told you." You will likely get startled looks and stammering and an unwillingness to comply with your request. However, unless you can tell me what I told you in a manner that I recognize it for what I thought I told you WE HAVE NEVER COMMUNICATED!!!

The next time you give someone instructions take a little pause and then ask them to tell you what you have just told them. You will likely be amazed.

Unintended consequences strikes again

The recent consternation about the vaunted COX-2 inhibitor drugs not only shows the side effects in the press but what some others were. If one goes to http://www.cancerlynx.com/cox2.html all the details are there. The drug companies had produced a drug to attack inflamattion that actually attacked some of the bodies own defense mechanism against inflamattion. Did they know before they sold? Hmmmm ... the dates of knowledge of these mechanisms pre-dates the release of the drugs.

We are what we eat.

Food and liquid are the fuel and lubrication of this body machine we live in. Taking care of this body is equally as important as taking care of a cherished automobile. However there is no easy dipstick or dashboard lighted display to follow. It is your job to learn how to care for this machine of life. The "sickness"care system will attempt to fix anything you break but some things cannot be "fixed" and many little "breaks" can add up to "no fix" or even to DEATH!

Unfortunately there is no "reward" for taking good care of your body machine except "good health" and "happiness". Those "rewards" may be too intangible in today's money oriented society for you to accept as payment for good care for this body machine.

Remember, FREE WILL, the care of where your spirit lives is up to you. You can be happy and healthy or sick and miserable; YOUR CHOICE!
