Sugar: The Bitter Truth

2nd January 2010

Sugar is fat. This simple relationship is revealed in this 9 part video series. You absolutely MUST watch this whole series. When sucrose and fructose enter the body the end result through various biochemical reactions actually creates new fat in the body. Featuring Dr. Robert H. Lustig, M.D. of UCSF Division of Endocrinology and Professor of Pediatrics - this lecture is not the over-simplified story of “increased calories from carbohydryates (sugar) of course makes us fat” but the actual hard science that has decoded the fructose mystery. Fructose in nature is embedded with super high levels of fiber. The industrial food companies have spent countless hours of research figuring out how to strip natural foods of this embedded relationship of sugar to fiber. Think of the sweetest food… yup -sugar cane. This plant is basically as fibrous as a stick! And don’t count on the FDA to help here - they are not getting anywhere near this. It’s up to you to educate yourself.

Dr. Lustig draws his conclusions that sugary drinks are the cause of the epidemic obesity levels in children in the US. Watch and be blown away. Fast forward part 6 if you are scientifically challenged.

The Bicarbonate Maple Syrup Treatment for Cancer

30th September 2009

Sodium bicarbonate
This could be a lifesaving natural treatment from Andreas Moritz at the Ener-Chi Wellness Center in South Carolina:

Although sugar intake strongly stimulates cancer cell growth, the combination of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) and maple syrup has the exact opposite effect; it makes it actually very difficult for cancer cells to function and survive.

Cancer cells can only operate in an acidic and oxygen-deprived environment. Since they are anaerobic by nature, they cannot use oxygen to metabolize glucose (sugar) and produce energy, but, instead, they have to ferment it. Compared with aerobic cells, which use oxygen and glucose to produce energy, cancer cells require about 15 times the amount of glucose as healthy cells to generate the same amount of metabolic energy. The cancer cells’ excessive hunger for glucose robs other healthy cells of this vital nutrient, thereby causing them to become weak, die, or also mutate into cancer cells. The starvation or weakening of healthy cells caused by the cancer cells’ incessant draining of nutrients from the tissue fluids, greatly diminishes the affected organ’s glucose and energy reserves. This is the main reason behind the failure of organs associated with cancer.

To prepare this simple, inexpensive but powerful remedy, combine pure 5 parts of 100% maple syrup (ideally B-grade), with 1 part of pure baking soda (with no added aluminum!). Place the mixture in a sauce pan and heat it on a medium flame for five minutes. Stir briskly. The mixture will greatly spread out and become foamy. Store in a cool place and take one teaspoon twice daily. For very serious conditions, take one teaspoon three times a day. Take uninterruptedly for at least 7-8 days, which is often sufficient to collapse tumors of the size one to two inches. You may experience a strong die-off, consisting of dead cancer cells, bacteria and toxins, usually expelled via the intestinal tract. Don’t be concerned if diarrhea occurs. This is the body’s way of relieving itself of the acid burden that’s behind the cancer. Other, seemingly unrelated health conditions may improve, too.

The maple syrup is capable of transporting bicarbonate into all parts of body, including the brain and nervous system, bones, teeth, joints, eyes and solid tumors. It may also help with other conditions of acidosis. Sodium bicarbonate therapy is harmless and so quick-acting because it is extremely diffusible.

Sixty percent of adults can’t digest milk

13th September 2009

It is not normal for humans to drink milk after 2 years old - and from another animal on top of that fact. Researchers have found the gene that allows predominantly Eastern Europeans who have inherited distant dairy farming relatives genes to continue to produce the enzyme lactase after being weened from their mothers. Lactase is the enzyme that digests the sugar in milk and when absent, allows this sugar to ferment in the colon making one quite gassy. So it’s not that some people are lactose intolerant, it’s that the abnormality are the people who can tolerate milk.

From USA Today:

A group at University College London has shown that the mutation actually appeared about 7,500 years ago in dairy farmers who lived in a region between the central Balkans and central Europe, in what was known as the Funnel Beaker culture.

Finding Raw Milk In New York

6th July 2009

Raw milk
You can find raw, unpasteurized milk in New York. I’ve been buying raw cheeses but haven’t seen any raw milk in any health food stores including Commodoties, my local haunt. Pasteurization kills the healthy natural enzymes in the milk that aid in digestion. It creates a dead food. For more information on raw dairy check out the Raw Milk Facts site.

This is from the “Real Milk” website:

Pasteurization destroys enzymes, diminishes vitamin content, denatures fragile milk proteins, destroys vitamins C, B12 and B6, kills beneficial bacteria, promotes pathogens and is associated with allergies, increased tooth decay, colic in infants, growth problems in children, osteoporosis, arthritis, heart disease and cancer.

Pasteur had reason to help sterilize the unsanitary 1920’s agricultural conditions that were creating health problems; but its 2007 and we need to smarten up and educate ourselves so we can properly nourish our families.
