Ditch the Diet Soda



Here are few reasons why sodas (especially diet ones) will absolutely not help you achieve your health goals: 

  • pH of 2.5: Sodas are 50,000 times more acidic than neutral. It would require 30 glasses of clean water to balance out just ONE can of soda. Why is this important? All diseases (including cancer) thrive in an acidic environment. 

  • High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS): This highly processed sweetener significantly raises insulin levels and has been linked to Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolic Syndrome. Plus, the majority of HFCS is derived from genetically modified corn. (GMO) 

  • Aspartame, Splenda: All artificial sweeteners are just that–Artificial. They are the result of a chemical process that produces dangerous neurotoxic compounds. Aspartame has been linked to brain tumors, migraines/headaches, epilepsy/seizures, depression and autoimmune diseases. Sucralose (Splenda) falls into the same category. The company claims it is made from sugar, but they neglect to tell you they alter a sugar molecule and insert chlorine–a dangerous carcinogen (cancer causing agent).  These artificial sugars are addictive and actually cause you to gain weight!  

  • Caffeine: Caffeine has a half-life of 6 hours, meaning that it will stay in your body for 12 hours before the effect wears off. Even if you think caffeine doesn’t affect you, it will still alter your sleep cycles and the quality of your sleep. Caffeine is also a diuretic–dehydrating you even though you believe you are ingesting liquids.

FREE Movie Night

Wednesday, January 29th, 2014

6:30-8:30 PM



Estherville Public Library

613 Central Ave. 

Estherville, IA 51334

  



 This month we will be watching "Sweet Misery- A Poisoned World." Complimentary popcorn provided with a discussion after! 

 SWEET MISERY: Aspartame is an artificial sweetener, an additive. And it's a chemical. It's not a natural product, it's a chemical. The molecule is made up of three components. Two are amino acids, the so-called building blocks of protein.

 One is called Phenylalanine, which is about 50% of the molecule and the other is Aspartic Acid, which is like 40%. And the other 10% is so-called Methyl Ester, which as soon as it’s swallowed becomes free methyl alcohol. Methanol. Wood alcohol, which is a poison. A real poison.

 Excellent documentary showing how dangerous artificial sweetener Aspartame is. From its history, to its effects this video is enough to shock anyone into really looking at the food labels next time they shop. Aspartame is a toxic food that came into the world as an investment by Donald Rumsfeld, while ignoring the deadly effects the tests showed.

Are You Taking High Quality Supplements? Be Sure to Check Labels for These Dangerous Additives!

Most vitamins sold in department and grocery stores are vitamins in synthetic forms with a long list of unhealthy and toxic ingredients. Your supplements should be made from actual food! Your body will absorb and assimilate them better.  Most cheap vitamins go right through your body and end up in the toilet! They do more harm to your body than good! 

Magnesium stearate has been shown to cause kidney stones and liver abnormalities. It is that it is often found as a combined product of stearic acid. Since it is made by hydrogenating cottonseed or palm oil, you risk consuming pesticide residue, since cottonseed oil has the highest content of pesticide residue of all commercially produced oils.


Common fillers in supplements:

BHT - This fat-soluble compound is used in jet fuels, rubber, petroleum products and embalming fluid. Research has linked BHT to bladder cancer, DNA damage, gastric and lung cancer.

Boric acid - This chemical is used as an antiseptic, insecticide and flame retardant. It is also connected to DNA damage.

Synthetic vitamin A - Capable of causing birth defects.

Cupric sulfate - This is used as an herbicide, fungicide and pesticide. Very irritating if ingested.

Stearic acid - Is a white, waxy, natural fatty acid found in some vegetables and animal fats. It is a major ingredient in soaps and lubricants. If prepared synthetically by hydrogenation of cottonseed and other oils, it contains pesticide residue. It is added as a lubricant and to hold tablets together.

Maltodextrin - This sugar is obtained by hydrolysis of starch. Used to add texture and as a flavor enhancer.

Modified maize starch - This filler is a derivative of corn that has been chemically altered to dissolve quickly and serves as a thickener. Most corn is GMO.

Sodium benzoate - Synthetic chemical used as a preservative. Can damage DNA. 

Hydrogenated palm oil - Hydrogenation is the process of adding hydrogen gas to liquid oils. Hydrogenation leads to trans fats which contribute to fat clogged arteries.

Potassium chloride - Colorless, odorless powder, used to improve fermentation. Small intestinal ulcers may occur with oral administration. Larger doses can cause gastrointestinal irritation, weakness and circulatory collapse.

There is an enormous difference between whole food supplements and synthetics. Ultimately you want to avoid synthetics and fillers. Look for high quality whole food organic supplements whenever possible. I sell a line that is organic, raw, and whole-foods based!
