NYC big soda ban proposed by Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the Health Dept. wants to decide what and how much New Yorkers drink.
If Bloomberg has his way, sugary drinks at restaurants, street carts and theaters will be outlawed. The sale of any sweetened drink larger than 16 fluid ounces would be prohibited at deli’s, fast-food chains and sports arenas.
Beverages sold in grocery or convenience stores would be exempt and the measure would not apply to alcohol, diet sodas, fruit juices and milkshakes.
Diet sodas and drinks usually contain aspartame, a substance far more dangerous than sugar and even high fructose corn syrup.
Studies prove aspartame in diet sodas cause severe neurologic, gastrointestinal and psychological problems.
But you don’t see Bloomberg ordering his Health Department to ban aspartame’s use, now do you?
Gallagher’s heart attack may have been preventable if Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn and Dr. Dean Ornish are correct about a plant-based, no meat and no dairy diet.
Perhaps instead of smashing watermelons, the comedic genius should be eating the melons instead and smashing the artery clogging food.
Best of success to comedian and philosopher Gallagher.
Former President Bill Clinton started Dr. Esselstyn’s diet for his heart problem. Clinton wound up losing 24 lbs, gained lots of energy and changed his life positively.
“ By eating these whole foods and getting away from processed foods, getting away from the dairy … it’s so incredible how powerful the body can be … the major behavior that has to change is interestingly enough, our food. That is the key card, it trumps everything.” – Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn M.D.
The Secret of How to Live to 110 is revealed by Bernando LaPallo, 110 years of age from Mesa, Arizona.
LaPallo’s fountain of youth secrets of longevity and vitality include eating and drinking properly plus walking a mile and a half in the morning.
The clean-living lifestyle also includes avoiding prescription medication, living stress-free and getting proper rest daily.
Bernando LaPallo miracle diet consists of organic vegetables [greens] and organic fruits [berries] for juicing.
And Super-foods like organic garlic [nature’s antibiotic] and onion, organic honey [nature’s energy booster], virgin olive oil, organic cinnamon [antibacterial], organic dark chocolate [stress reduction] and he adds some barley soup for luck.
Diet soda and heart attacks. Diet soda drinkers may have an increased risk of experiencing heart attack and death.
Researchers at the Columbia University Medical Center have found that people who drank diet soft drinks daily were 43% more likely to have had a heart attack or died of heart disease, than those who did not drink diet soda.
Darrin McBreen unveils the hoax around Aspartame, marketed as a safe sugar substitute, but in reality a dangerous artificial compound that should be avoided.
Powerful drug and chemical lobbies may be responsible for letting loose the hounds of disease and death on an unsuspecting and uninformed public.
A famous fast food chain says it has quit using USDA approved pink slime food trimmings, also known as ammonium hydroxide, as part of their meat product “burger”.
Jamie Oliver and his Food Revolution claim that the majority of American ground beef contains leftover cow parts “pink slime” with the e.coli and salmonella treated with ammonia.
The USDA allows this ammonia treated meat to enter the marketplace and with no labeling requirement on the packaging to inform the consumer, because ammonium hydroxide is considered part of the production procedure.
Mechanically separated, ammonia treated meat can be found in most grocery stores, fast food restaurants and school cafeterias. You have been warned.
How to reverse aging – will the enzyme telomerase be used in our lifetime to reverse the aging process?
Telomerase is a RiboNucleo protein that is an enzyme which adds DNA sequence repeats and prevents constant loss of important DNA from chromosome ends.
Aging is the buildup of cellular error acccording to Michio Kaku. Starve cells and they will live longer, perhaps 30% longer. This is a known way to extend the life of organisms.
The enzyme telomerase allows for replacement of short bits of DNA known as telomeres, which are otherwise shortened when a cell divides via mitosis.
With the presence of telomerase, each dividing cell can replace the lost bit of DNA, and any single cell can then divide unbounded.
Telomerase therapies may be used to combat cancer and extend lifespan significantly.
Laboratory experiments on mice with resveratrol have reported beneficial cardiovascular effects and lowering of blood sugar.
Resveratrol is found in the skin of red grapes and in other fruits. Red wine contains very little resveratrol. Better to eat or juice the red grape.
With resveratrol and other enzymes, we are finding tantalizing pieces of the Fountain of Youth.
Will the study of enzymes like resveratrol and telomerase one day lead research scientists to a significant breakthrough and reversal of the aging process?
