Artificial Sweetener is Deadly, and Salt is Good for You

I am an LPN Nurse and recouping from being very sick, this is how I ate myself back to health. This article continues telling the story of my research into a different kind of nutrition.

By Joan McDaniel                 June 28, 2012

It sometimes seems to me that Big X wants us all weak, sick, and to have dementia or Alzheimer’s. It seems to me that Big business, big Pharma, big Agriculture, and big commercial interest seem to be in charge.  They are more concerned with marketing ploys, and the bottom line then with independent health studies.  Studies on the huge amount of side effects from aspartame have been ignored. We are too busy looking at preventing a certain disease then how to be healthy?

 It seems that if my blood test numbers were all at the proper level, I must be well, no matter how I felt. My concerned for health seemed to be mine alone. When I asked questions about what food should I eat, I was told either “Don’t Eat Fat, Don’t eat Salt, Eat Fat-Free”,  “Use the Food Pyramid”  or “It doesn’t matter much with someone and your condition”, “Eat Good Food”, “lose weight” or “It’s all in your head”, or “Are you getting enough exercise?”

 In fact, I found that indeed my health had something to do with the food I was eating.  I had been eating the traditional American Diet which is loaded with sugar and absent of all nutrition.  I now have been finding good food to eat.  Good nutritious food and I am feeing 100% better. 

Coconut Cures

By Bruce Fife.

This book discusses the health benefits of coconut oil, meat, milk, and water. In this book you will learn why coconut oil is considered the healthiest oil on earth and how it can protect you against heart disease, diabetes, and infectious illnesses such as influenza, herpes, Candida, and even HIV.

 

First thing I learned besides coconut oil, was the harm of the FDA-Approved Artificial Sweetener. The next thing was the necessity of Salt, especially Sea Salt.

As I am finding out about food, I feel I must tell others. I am learning as I go along and expect people to research what I have to say on their own.  It is sort of take it or leave it.  If you learn anything, then great!!!!

 

Is This FDA-Approved Sweetener Causing Brain Damage?

Good job Joan. I am a Health Coach and my passion is reminding people to listen to their bodies. It will they you everything they need to know! You are right artificial sweeteners are poison and must be avoided. I agree coconut is a great food but we must also pay attention to local and seasonal eating it is how the body was designed to eat. Please visit my website www.TenStudioHill.com and join my Meetup group: http://www.meetup.com/Truthful-Simple-Health-with-Nick-Oddo/members/ for great health workshops and cooking classes. Hugs & Health to you, Nick

It's the sugar and the carbs. I'm 49. In three months I cut my cholesterol by 50 points and got my sugar back to normal. Lean meat, eggs, lots of veggies and fruit, nuts and sugarless nut butters. No milk. No cheese. No pasta, no bread. It works. If you do the meat without the veggies you're killing yourself. Meat portion should be about the size of your palm.

Nick Oddo Coming from a professional like yourself, Thank you very much. Yes I used coconut oil as the introduction, but what I found about nutrition and the destructive fat-free diet put my body back on the road. I also have a thyroid condition so I had a few areas to focus on. I have joined your group. Funny the site had an old picture I used in my Tea Party days.
Thank You again. Joan

Thanks for your comment. Yes you can do a lot by eating good nutrition. The only reason I was driven to write and create this website is not to become an expert but to get the common Joe and Jill to actively start eating real nutrition and to stop feeding themselves the empty nutrition of the American Diet. Sounds like you are already there. Good Work. We each need to get a good food routine and eat healthy. I don't eat a lot of meat but I get to the Farmer's Market to get the Grass Feed beef, and free range chicken eggs and fresh vegetables. Thanks again. Good Work.

Aerial of United Water's proposed water treatment plant location
Caleb June 13, 2013 at 10:23 pm
Untrue. Perhaps if United Water wasn't sending over 2 million gallons a day from Deforest Lake toRead More they're customers in Bergen County we would not have this shortage. Hydrologists have shown that there is enough water regularly collected in Rockland's reservoirs and aquifers for our current and growing needs. Many of the "facts" that United Water is putting forward are outdated, and are based on they're own mismanagement of our water basin. Lets remember that United Water has repeatedly been removed as a water provider of major cities throughout this country (6+ last time I checked, notably even from Camden NJ) for mismanagement of water resources. I think its a prudent choice to look into a plant that we will be stuck paying for for the next 4 years from a company that has repeatedly lied and provided water with toxin levels high above legal limits to they're customers. Better safe than sorry.

Rockland has grown to the point that it needs more water. Terminating the flow of a river and takingRead More the water resources away from other communities (stealing what we need) isn't going to happen.

A Response to the Response Mr. Michael Pointing, writing on behalf of United Water, opined in theRead More Journal News (June 7) and the Nyack Patch (June 11) that an Issues Conference on the pending desalination project is unnecessary. When it is so greatly to his personal and professional benefit to support this project, how can he expect to be taken seriously? Comments on the "desal" plant have only rarely mentioned that the radioactive tritium, which each day leaks into the Hudson from Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant - just 3 miles upstream from the plant - will end up, in diluted form, in our drinking water. Problem is, although highly diluted, there's no way to filter out tritium since it is chemically identical to water. Worse, there's no known safe exposure level. Like "normal" water, tritium goes into your body as fast as you drink it. Good news: about half of the tritium you do drink is filtered out by the kidneys within about ten days. Bad news: When your kitchen faucet keeps providing you with small amounts of tritium day after day, it tends to keep whatever levels you have in your body elevated. Welcome to your future, Rockland. Say, how about cracking open a nice plastic bottle of Deer Park for mixing up that baby formula? Why does United Water want this project to go forward so quickly as to necessarily preclude a thorough public education process in which all the variables and all the options can be openly discussed? What if one day you decided you don't like UW anymore and you wished the water utility was still owned by the government and not the private sector, because at least that way through your vote, you could democratically elect new people who would shut the plant down (whereas you can never "vote out" a private corporation from owning the pipes that carry your drinking water)? Let's just say arbitrarily that for the first ten years following completion of this more or less irreversible project there was an average of 500 additional picocuries of tritium per liter showing up in drinking water in Rockland County that was not there before. Even the NRC says Indian Point emits tritium into the ground water and presumably into the Hudson as well, since Hudson water is what flows - 24 hours a day - into and out of the power plant, cooling the atomic reaction that creates electrical power). In 1976 the EPA decided (more or less arbitrarily) that 20,000 picocuries of radioactivity would be roughly the "safe" upper limit for human consumption (due to drinking tritium or any other radionuclide). I say "arbitrarily" because I am aware of no one who has actually tried this since then, to see if it really turned out to be safe. Whose insurance policy would make Rockland homeowners whole again if at some future point tritium (or other radionuclide) levels skyrocketed while property values plummeted? Maybe something so terrible could never, ever happen. I certainly hope it couldn't. But why are we residents the guinea pigs, and how come we pay more - not less - for our water just so UW can do more business and, of course, collect more in utility bills? By the way, Fukushima was also never ever supposed to happen. Human health is not something you go back and study all over again once you realize you've lost it. Doesn't Rockland County have enough cancer already? Dan Rostan Nyack
