WHAT ARE AMERICANS EATING?
TOO MUCH JUNK FOOD!
An analysis of the diet of Americans reveals that sugary snacks and sodas are consumed more readily than fruits and vegetables.
Researcher Gladys Block, PhD. and Professor of Epidemiology and Public Health Nutrition at the University of California, Berkeley, discovered that at least 30 percent of the total calorie intake of Americans surveyed was from sweets, desserts, salty snacks, fruit-flavored drinks and alcoholic beverages. [ UC Berkeley Press Release by Sarah Yang, June 1, 2004]
The result?
JUNK FOOD that provides calories but not vitamins and minerals - in other words, "EMPTY CALORIES."
Did you know this shocking fact:
89% of Americans DO NOT eat enough fruits and vegetables;
they'd rather eat fast foods or processed foods.
The American Heart Association, World Health Organization, American Cancer Society, and the USDA all agree - everyone needs to EAT MORE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.
Click on the link below to find out how David Uri LeBaron, the pioneer and innovator of live, whole food-based nutrition, can help you and your family get your 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables each day.
Uri's revolutionary InstaFresh drying process turns freshly juiced fruits and vegetables into a powder in thirty seconds, without every going over 99 degrees F., as crazy as that sounds.
Getting your and your kids their 5-9 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables a day - ONCE DIFFICULT, NOW EASY!

Not Your Grandma's Tomato Part 1 - Keys to Good Nutrition & Tips to Eating Healthy Feast on Organic Whole Food
I'd like to share an article written
by David Uri LeBaron,
pioneer and innovator of live, whole food-based nutrition.
"THIS IS NOT YOUR GRANDMOTHER'S TOMATO! - Part I"
"After more than 30 years of 'hands-on' organic farming
and continuous nutritional research, let me explain why...
this is NOT your grandmother's tomato!
You've heard 'An apple a day keeps the doctor away'...
but not today's apple. Today's apple is not your grandmother's apple.
Neither is a tomato, nor lettuce, or carrot - you name it.
And in many cases, even what's advertised as a 'natural' food
may not really be what you think it is. That's because you're being sold a bill of goods by the big food manufacturers when it comes to conventionally grown fruits, vegetables, and other so-called 'healthy' foods today.
The Truth: Beware of the 'Toxic Buffet'
Why have so many of our food sources been altered? Why are our foods no longer delivering the kind of nutrition they've provided us in the past? And what are the potential risks from these foods?
Here are the startling answers, starting with these facts:
Did you know that over 70 percent of processed foods in U.S. grocery stores contain genetically modified ingredients? And more than half of the corn grown in the U.S. is genetically engineered? This means foods are being altered by scientists in ways our forefathers never imagined. Just consider these shocking examples...
1. Many prematurely picked tomatoes are artificially ripened with hormones.
Take a tomato. The longer it stays on the vine, the higher its sugar level, better its taste, and higher its nutrient content. Just think about how good a home-grown tomato tastes. Yum! But out-of-season produce in the U.S. is often shipped up to 2,500 miles before being sold - so you can't pick a fully ripened tomato and expect to sell it cross country.
This is why many farmers in Florida, California, and Mexico pick tomatoes at 'mature green' state and artificially ripen them with ethylene. Ethylene is a hormone derived from petroleum and natural gas. The problem is, these tomatoes are deprived of optimum nutrient content.
2. Apples are treated with radioactive gamma rays to appear fresher.
Today, some conventionally grown apples are treated with radioactive gamma rays (yes, low levels of radiation) to extend shelf life and make them appear fresher than they really are. [Business News, 6/1/2005]
In fact, irradiation destroys up to 80 percent of an apple's essential vitamins A, B2, B3, B6, C, E, and K, as well as thiamin, folic acid, and even essential fatty acids and amino acids.
3. Crops are 'genetically-modified' (GM) to grow better.
To create more drought-and pest-resistant crops, engineers insert bacteria, viruses, plant or animal cells and even human genes into seeds...but at what risk? [truefoodnetwork.com]
For example, GM crops are designed to withstand herbicides...so farmers growing GM soybeans are using 2-5 times more herbicides than growers of natural varieties. GM crops easily pollinate with related weeds, creating 'super weeds' that are resistant to top-seling herbicides...forcing farmers to use more toxic herbicides.
Shockingly, U.S. food manufacturers are NOT required to put "genetically modified" on any food labels! This leave us in the dark. In fact, according to the International Food Information Council, 62 percent of Americans surveyed said they knew 'a little or nothing at all' about genetic engineering of foods.
But as you'll see in a moment, 'the Feast' gives you REAL whole food-based nutrition from organic and naturally grown fruits, berries, greens, vegetables, seeds, nuts, and sprouts, just as Nature intended - free of the dangers of biotech engineering and genetic modification.
Another reason why today's common fruits and vegetables are nowhere near the quality of your grandmother's is the shockingly poor vitamin and mineral content found in today's conventionally grown produce. Since the late 1950's, the nutritional content of America's conventionally grown fruits and vegetables has declined, often significantly.
Dr. Donald Davis, a biochemist at the University of Texas, noted that the USDA tracked 13 major nutrients in garden crops from 1950 to 1999 and found six with noticeable declines. Of these, a 38 percent drop in riboflavin...a 15 percent drop in iron...and a 20 percent drop in vitamin C stand out.
Nutritionist Alex Jack found even more shocking evidence when he compared USDA food tables from 1963 to those of 2000, as reported in Life Extension [March 2001]. He found the following: 50% less calcium in broccoli and carrots, 88% less iron in watercress, 45% less vitamin C in spinach, 51.5% less potassium in collard greens, and 66% less iron in apples, oranges, and apricots. SHOCKING!
WHY such poor nutritional content in our produce today?"

Eat foods that are grown organically, not with chemical pesticides and herbicides. Eat live whole foods, not processed foods. Eat natural foods, not artificial foods and additives. Eat foods that are grown naturally, without hormones and antibiotics. Eat raw foods. Try to eat at least 75% of your foods raw in their natural whole food state. Eat a lot of vegetables and greens, organic of course. Also eat plenty of fruits and berries. Eat non-GM (genetically modified) foods; avoid all genetically modified and genetically engineered foods. Eat whole food grains, legumes, beans, seeds, and nuts. Eat only organically grown and grass fed natural chicken, turkey, lamb, bison, and beef. Eat only wild ocean fish with fins and scales, and avoid all farm raised fish and seafood scavengers. Eat only full spectrum Himalayan crystal salt, avoiding all table salt (sodium chloride). Eat traditionally fermented lactic acid foods like sauerkraut, sour pickles, miso, raw yogurt, raw kefir, apple cider vinegar, etc.
And always remember, the secret to losing weight and keeping it off, is to make nutritious and healthy LIFESTYLE CHANGES that become positive healthy habits in your daily routine. Systematic undereating and resisting the temptation to overeat is the first step to change.

Weight Loss Pt 2 - Keys to Good Nutrition & Eating Healthy Feast on Organic Whole Food
HEALTHY SUCCESSFUL WEIGHT LOSS - PT 2
Today let's continue this series on healthy weight loss.
I will be sharing practical things you can do
to lose weight and to maintain a healthy weight.
"EAT TO LIVE - DON'T LIVE TO EAT."
One of the keys to good nutrition and tips to eating healthy is to eat for the right reasons. Have you ever thought of that? Have you ever asked yourself why you eat every day? It seems, on the surface, like a simple question with an obvious answer. However, when you understand the deeper ramifications of this question, you will realize that it is really quite a profound question.
Key #2 - EAT FOR NUTRITION, FOR ENERGY, FOR LIFE
Some people eat as though they were going to go out and do the hardest kind of physical labor! They sit down at the table, for example, and eat a large heavy breakfast loaded with protein, carbohydrates, fats, and sugars. And yet the truth is that they are very sedentary people who eat out of habit and conditioning. These same people often work in an office or in a store where they sit or stand around all day doing very little physical labor at all. They will usually eat a quite unhealthy snack in the morning. Around noon they will eat a heavy meal, followed a little later by an afternoon snack. After work, they come home and have the biggest meal of the day consisting of meat, potatoes, bread, dessert, and a beverage. Typically they watch TV after dinner while eating yet another fattening snack.
The person living the average, inactive and sedentary life can't possibly burn up these large amounts of food! What happens to people who eat this way? They end up being overweight or obese, they feel tired or exhausted most of the time, and they live their entire lives being sick. They fill the doctors' offices, pharmacies, and hospitals with all the health problems brought on by their unhealthy eating habits.
This kind of daily compulsive over-eating is making millions of people exhausted, fat, and sick. This habitual over-eating is sending them to doctors, hospitals, nursing homes, and too many to an early grave! As the Roman philosopher, Seneca, once said,
"Men do not die; they kill themselves."
This tragic story is being played out all across the Western world. Millions of people are grossly overweight and sick due to unhealthy lifestyles and poor eating habits.
Not only do millions of people overeat or overfuel their bodies, but they also overfuel on the wrong kinds of food. The food that they consume is generally not nutritious and is loaded with toxins and other substances that make their bodies fatter and sicker and more tired. Because their bodies are truly malnourished from bad nutrition, they constantly feel hungry because their bodies are not getting the nutrients that they need. In addition, overeating puts a severe strain on the body's organs and the digestive tract to try to keep up with all of that food. By overeating they are stressing out the machinery of their entire body because they never give their body time to rest and repair itself. What they really need to do is to get into the habit of fasting one day a week to help their system unclog and cleanse itself.
Why Do You EAT?
Many people eat three large meals a day because they were told at a young age that they should. They have been conditioned to eating not only three large daily meals, but also to eating snacks throughout the day. I believe that most people eat this way out of habit and conditioning, and for the wrong reasons. A lot of times people eat because it meets some deep emotional need in their souls such as comfort, which is why we call some foods, "comfort foods." Some people overeat because they are lonely and eating food makes them feel better. Some people overeat simply because they are bored. Other people overeat because they are simply gluttens, meaning they have an unhealthy kind of "lust" for food that gives them a lot of pleasure and a physical high. All of these reasons are not good or healthy reasons to eat or to overeat.
EAT FOR NUTRITION AND ENERGY AND LIFE
I would like to suggest that the best reasons to eat (not overeat) are to feed your body the good nutrition it needs, to provide your body the energy it needs to work and live, and to give your body the life that it needs to be happy and productive. In other words, "eat to live!" Think of food as fuel for your body. You can put in good high-quality fuel that will energize your body and help you accomplish what you need to every day, or you can put in bad poor-quality fuel that will cause your body to feel tired, weak, and sickly and will prevent you from accomplishing what you need to do.
Finally, there is a time and a place to enjoy the pleasure of eating good food. God created us to enjoy great variety of foods that He put on the earth. Enjoying good healthy food is a blessing from God that we should be thankful for. However, we do need to protect our hearts from gluttony and overeating by practicing moderation in our eating habits. My advice to you is to reflect a while on why you eat, and then make some healthy changes. Start thinking differently about food and eating. Discipline your body and make it your servant, rather than your body being the master and you being the slave to its appetite. Take control of your appetite and eating habits, and learn the healthy habit of eating to live.
And always remember, the secret to losing weight and keeping it off, is to make nutritious and healthy LIFESTYLE CHANGES that become positive healthy habits in your daily routine. Systematic undereating and resisting the temptation to overeat is the first step to change.

George Carlin - Keys to Good Nutrition & Tips to Eating Healthy Feast on Organic Whole Food
Isn't it amazing that George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's - could write something so very eloquent...and so very appropriate.
A Message by George Carlin:
"The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stock room. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...
Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."

Visit Trader Joe's - Keys to Good Nutrition & Tips to Eating Healthy Feast on Organic Whole Foods
CHECK OUT * TRADER JOE'S *
I'd like to recommend one of my favorite healthy grocery stores.
It's called T R A D E R J O E ' S and I just love this place!
At first glance, it may not look like a health food store because about 20% of the store is stocked with various kinds of wines and alcoholic beverages. Because of the dangers of sulfites and other chemicals which end up in wine, I wouldn't necessarily call wine a health food or healthy drink. Therefore, I want you to know that I'm really writing to share about the 80% of the rest of the store which is food products.
One more thing I need to clarify is that all of Trader Joe's food is NOT healthy. To put it another way, there are quite a few items in the store that I would classify as NOT healthy. However, in spite of the wine, alcoholic beverages, and some unhealthy foods, for the most part this is a great store to find very healthy food at a very reasonable price.
I encourage you to check out Trader Joe's and try some of their healthy foods. You will find them very reasonably priced; in fact, I believe they are considerably cheaper than most health food stores such as Whole Foods Market and Henry's.
While you're there, pick up one of their "Trader Joe's Fearless Flyers." In this newspaper format flyer, you can learn all about their latest products. Here are some examples of healthy foods that T.J.'s carries and that are writte up in this Fearless Flyer.
Hearty Wholesome Organic Instant Oatmeal, Organic Salad Kit, Multigrain Pastas with Flax, Complete Body Cleanse Internal Cleansing System, All Natural Ground Chicken, Quinoa Wheat Bread, Spinach and Feta Stuffed Norwegian Salmon, 17 Bean & Barley Soup Mix, California Estate Grown Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Organic Agave Sweetener, Pure Psyllium, Olive Tapenade with Kalamata and Black Olives, Go Raw Trek Mix, Organic Marinara, etc.
Where's the nearest Trader Joe's?

Artificial Sweeteners & Weight Gain - Keys to Good Nutrition & to Eating Healthy Feast On Organic Whole Food
Dear health conscious friends,
I'm on vacation right now, so I don't have a lot of time to write my typical lengthy blog posting.
However, I did find this very interesting article on Dr. Mercola's website all about the toxic dangers and other side effects of artificial sweeteners. Please be sure to read Dr. Mercola's comments at the end of the article.
This article comes from: http://www.mercola.com
