 Stop junk food and soda advertising to children
Here's sort of another obvious one: outlaw the predatory marketing of junk foods, candy and sugary beverages to children, many of whom are already headed for a life of diabetes, heart disease and obesity. But wait: the soda companies say sugary drinks have nothing to do with obesity! And, better yet, the American Diabetes Association claims there's no link between sugar and diabetes! (Not sure how they can still say that one with a straight face, but they somehow manage it. |

 REPPED: Given everything we now know to be true about sugar and high-fructose corn syrup, I find it absolutely stunning that the sugar industry continues to deny any link whatsoever between the consumption of sugar and chronic diseases like obesity and diabetes. The sugar industry says that sugar is a completely healthy food, that there's no such thing as an unhealthy food, and that sugar can be part of a healthy diet. I disagree strongly with that.
Saying that sugar is part of a healthy diet is sort of like saying that crack cocaine should be part of your medicine chest. |

 In fact obesity is a major aspect of this syndrome.
What do I mean by central obesity? This has to do with how your weight is distributed in your body. If it is evenly dispersed all over or you are heavy in the bottom (pear-shaped), you may need to drop some weight, but in relation to Syndrome X, you are fine. But if you have gained substantial weight around your waistline (are apple-shaped), you may be in trouble.
I have had many patients in their late twenties or early thirties come into my office complaining that they are gaining a significant amount of weight. |

Researchers appear puzzled, asking "why only among postmenopausal women is increased breast cancer risk associated with either general obesity or abdominal obesity, and why is per capita fat intake related more to breast cancer incidence in postmenopausal than premenopausal women?" [Breast Cancer Research Treatment 38: 239-46, 1996] Restriction of dietary fat for 10-22 weeks in healthy postmenopausal women is reported to reduce circulating estrogen levels by 17% on average. |

Obesity, Depression, and Inflammation
Everyone knows the deadly effects that obesity can have on the human body. Recent research, however, has shown that obesity is even more dangerous when paired with depression.
According to a study published in Brain, Behavior and Immunity, greater depression in obese men resulted in significantly higher levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), the marker of inflammation first discussed on page 24. Interestingly, depression was not linked to higher levels of CRP in non-obese men. |

 Watch out for use of the following:
High fructose corn syrup (a refined sweetener linked to diabetes and obesity)
Sugar (refined table sugar)
Sucrose (also a refined sugar)
Sodium benzoate (a dangerous chemical preservative)
Apple juice (a filler juice and natural sweetener)
Grape juice (also used as a filler juice, better than sugars but still cheaper than superfruit juices
#7: How do I shop for a superfruit juice product?
Here's some quick advice:
Top choice: 100% pure superfruit juice, made from fresh fruits (not from concentrate), packaged in glass. |

| This is the probable reason why obesity increases the risk for breast cancer in postmenopausal women.) Whereas menopause causes a 16-fold drop in the blood plasma levels of estrogen, menopausal breast tissue will exhibit concentrations of estrogen 10 times that found in blood plasma. This makes the breast the most likely tissue for estrogen-related tumors to emanate.

Of course aspartame is dangerous to human health. The chemicals it breaks down into (which includes small amounts of formaldehyde) are documented as nervous system toxins. In the natural health industry, aspartame is well known to be an "excitotoxin" -- a substance that harms and kills nerve cells. |

Conclusions and action plan
The major risk factors for prostate cancer have been described in various publications, geographical (northern climates), obesity, skin color (black), calcium (high intake), all which involve the lack of vitamin D. Nary a physician suggests that men, beginning early in life, supplement their diet with ample amounts of vitamin D, despite the obvious evidence of its connection with prostate cancer. Outdated and misleading information about alleged toxicity and hy-per-calcemia needs to be dispelled. |

 It's also worth mentioning that I don't support the consumption of processed dairy products at all (raw milk is a different story), and it is my opinion that homogenized, pasteurized dairy products directly promote heart disease, obesity, diabetes, autoimmune disorders and many other health problems in humans. I personally consume no processed dairy products (organic or otherwise), and I encourage consumers to switch to raw almond milk as a healthy alternative to milk products acquired from cows. |

Now, decades after its introduction into foods as a non-caloric sweetener, researchers in at the Cesare Maltoni Cancer Research Center in Bologna, Italy, report that aspartame (Nutrasweet) provokes tumors in animals at doses less than what is considered acceptable for daily human intake. The daily intake level is 50 mg per kilogram (2.2 lbs) of body weight in the U.S. and 40 mg in Europe. |

 People who use the microwave on a regular basis are walking down a path towards degenerative disease and a lifelong battle with obesity. The more you use the microwave, the worse your nutritional state gets, and the more likely you are to be diagnosed with various diseases and put on pharmaceuticals which, of course, will create other health problems that lead to a grand spiraling nosedive of health.
Do yourself a favor: Toss your microwave, or donate it to some charity. It's much easier to avoid using the microwave if you don't have one around. |

Frito-Lay: Dangerous junk food that contributes to obesity, heart disease, cancer, depression and other serious diseases.
Pepsi-Cola: Toxic beverages that destroy bone mineral density and poison consumers with chemical sweeteners in diet drinks.
Gatorade: Crap sports drinks that contain artificial colors made from petrochemical derivatives.
Tropicana: A low-end fruit juice brand engaged in deceptive labeling for many of its products. |

 And one of the reasons we see so much obesity in America today is because people are eating empty, lifeless food products that provide only calories but no energetic nourishment. The food is mostly an empty shell, lifeless and devoid of positive vibration (and then they cook it, irradiate it and process it even more to give it shelf life!).
For the most part, the food isn't being grown, harvested and sold at a high enough vibration to end the cravings human beings have for nourishment at all levels: physical, emotional and spiritual. |

| Nor will it publicly admit that high-fructose corn syrup has any link whatsoever to obesity. PepsiCo, in my opinion, is a corporation living in a deviant reality, unwilling to take responsibility for its role in poisoning the population through its toxic food and beverage products.
That's my personal opinion of PepsiCo, its brands and its products. Personally, I wouldn't buy anything made by PepsiCo. I have no desire to financially reward this company by purchasing its products. |

 The United States of America is the most obese nation in the world, having achieved a whopping 66% rate of overweight and an unprecendented 34% rate of obesity among adults. Diabetes is rampant among both adults and children, and massive sugar intake only accelerates the development of the disease.
Halloween, my dear friends, is the big kick-off of a season of massive caloric intake where we gulp our way through Thanksgiving, Christmas and Near Year's, treated by an endless buffet of sugars, chemical additives, processed food and saturated fats. |

 Countless others have eliminated obesity and visually reversed aging to the point where they literally look ten or fifteen years younger.
The raw foods lifestyle really works -- even if you're not 100% raw! (I'm currently between 70% - 90% raw, depending on the day.) This system is so good that I consider it the "health secret" of the century, and everyone who sticks with it gets healthier, younger looking, more energetic and emotionally balanced. |

 In my opinion, both of these companies operate with an astonishing lack of integrity -- not only in the way they hype their bottled water products, but also in their ongoing marketing of beverages that I am convinced are closely tied to the obesity and diabetes pandemics now ravaging our world.

 MSG is a dangerous excitotoxin linked to neurological disorders such as migraine headaches, Alzheimer's disease, loss of appetite control, obesity and many other serious health conditions. Manufacturers use MSG to add flavor to dead-tasting processed meat products.
Essentially, dead meat products look and taste dead (because they are), so meat companies use the following three ingredients to make them look fresh and taste interesting:
Sodium nitrite makes the meat look red and fresh. (But it promotes cancer.)
MSG makes the meat taste savory. (But it causes neurological disorders. |
