Beware of AminoSweet!!!

March 2nd, 2010

Aspartame producer will rebrand the sweetener as “AminoSweet”!!! It’s crazy how companies use brilliant marketers to come up with “healthy sounding” names to fool consumers!!! Please educate yourself before falling for new products with healthy claims…

Aspartame is used in many foods and beverages marketed as low calorie or sugar-free. However, its reputation has been clouded somewhat by studies that have investigated reports of ill effects.

Just to remind you, the side effects of aspartame can include:

  • Headache
  • Change in vision
  • Convulsions and seizures
  • Hallucination
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Joint pain

It can cause many, many other problems as well. Learn more: Mercola

Green Tea and your Eyes!!!

February 23rd, 2010

As if the incredible antioxidant properties in Green Tea we already knew weren’t enough, researchers in Hong Kong have just discovered it also might protect the eye against glaucoma and other eye diseases…

Seems the green tea catechins are able to penetrate the eye tissue and protect it against harmful oxidative stress, which had not previously been evaluated…

What better way to start the day than with a clear vision of what’s ahead!!!

Coconut Water!!!

February 16th, 2010

Coconut water has been called the “purest liquid” second only to water! It is loaded with electrolytes, calcium, potassium and magnesium. Great for hydrating the body, known to reduce urinary problems, kills intestinal worms, breaks up kidney stones, and is even used in blood transfusions because it’s almost identical to blood plasma…

Drink fresh!!! Once exposed to air, coconut water begins to ferment, and rapidly loses most of its taste and nutritional characteristics.
