A half cup of store-bought spaghetti sauce can contain as much as three teaspoons of sugar.

Ketchup can have a 20% sugar content.

When the "pimps" take the fat out of a product, like cookies or salad dressing, guess what they replace it with? Yep, sugar and extra salt. High blood pressure anyone? Calorie wise, they are not much less than the fattier version.

Bread is another one. It's sugar and eggs. (The whites, by the way, are used in aircraft paint because they don't crack under extreme temperatures; that gives bread its nice, golden crust.)

We know that potato chips are salty, but they can contain sugar as one. They don't say, "betcha can't eat one", for nothing.

And let's not forget the popular high protein energy bars. These guys can contain up to 300 calories and are loaded with sugar.

There was a study done at the American College of Neuropsycopharmacology (say it three times fast and you'll own it) that found that sugar gives the same brain reaction as morphine, cocaine and nicotine. To put it another way, sugar is addictive!

The reality is that the food industry knows full well that sugar is addictive, so it shouldn't come as a surprise to you that they will put as much as they can in as many products as they can to get you to eat more and more and more. You eat more; you get fat; you get sick; they get rich. They see that as a win-win situation. How do you see it?

But sugar just doesn't make you waddle down the street. It does a number on your insulin levels and leads you to becoming a diabetic. Did you know that just consuming one can of soda a day increases your risk of diabetes by 85% and can cut 11 to 20 years off your life?

It's not a walk in the park to break a sugar habit, but you have to give it your best shot.

You can keep your blood sugar stable by including protein with every meal. If you know about quinoa, the incredible grain from Peru which is a complete protein, you can eat that and get plenty of fiber as well. Remember, if it had a face or a mother it has no fiber.
If you use fruit as a substitute for sugar it will help curtail your sugar cravings.
Under no circumstances substitute fake sugar and think it's the answer.

Aspartame will turn you into a zombie because the methanol in aspartame converts to formaldehyde at 84 degree F (the body's temperature is 98.6 degrees F)

Sucralose is derived from chlorine and is best used in your swimming pool.

The reality is that these fake sugars do not eliminate sugar cravings; they actually increase them. A study proved that a person's risk for obesity went up 41% for each daily can of diet soda.

So, do the best you can and take it one day at a time. When you see your weight come down and your mood swings level out and you have more sustained energy, you'll know you're on the right road.

Just stay as sweet as you are.

Aloha!

Kelley`s Cancer Victory

When the doctors told Kelley he was about to die from fast spreading and devastating pancreatic cancer, his wife left him with no money and four small children. Kelley`s mother came from Kansas to rescue him.
She threw out all the meats, junk food, cookies and candy that Kelley was addicted to. Then she fed him fresh grains, produce, and fruit, mostly raw. In three months, Kelley was up and about and working again.

That gave him a clue about diet and cancer. He read one of Max Gerson's books on diet and changed his diet forever.

Now he was healthier, but his cancer was still there. So he researched more on his own. Kelley found a book by John Beard, an early 20th Century Scottish embryologist who made the connection of pancreatic enzymes to cancer cells.

Beard noticed that when the fetus begins producing pancreatic enzymes, the placenta stops its cellular growth, and he wondered what that would do to cancer cells. He experimented by injecting cancerous animals and humans with pancreatic juices, and he cured them. Yet, nothing came of his successful experiments.

Kelley needed to try this for himself. He went to the local pharmacy and bought up as many pancreatic enzyme supplements as he could, and he proceeded to take heavy doses. He noticed progress on ridding cancer cells, but then he would get sick. When he stopped dosing, he would recover then proceed again. After dosing again with more cancer cells dying off, he would become ill again.

He realized that he was having Herxheimer or healing crisis reactions. Whenever dead cancer cells and their toxins were released after the enzymes tore up the cancer cell walls, the cancer cells were left vulnerable to the immune system.

So he incorporated daily liver cleanse coffee enemas to get off the Herxheimer roller coaster and became cancer free. Soon, the word spread about Kelley`s miraculous self cure. Cancer patients from all over began flocking to him. His cure rate with all types of cancer was over 50%.

But Kelley was not satisfied. He first realized that many were deficient in enzyme activators produced in the small intestine. So he incorporated activators in some of his enzyme formulas.

Then he discovered that one diet didn`t fit all with his methods. So he created metabolic typing to determine which diet best suits the individual for heavy metabolic proteolytic enzyme dosing. His cure rate went to 93%!

Medical Mafia Clamps Down

Kelley`s dental license was suspended for five years when the AMA found out that a dentist was curing cancer. He was even thrown in jail briefly in 1969, forcing Kelley to practice in nearby Mexico.

After his high profile patient actor Steve McQueen died, national media jumped all over Dr. Kelley. He claimed that Steve`s difficult mesothelioma lung cancer was cured, but the actor's insistence on a separate cosmetic surgery in the States led to his death.

Bitter and broken, Kelley called it quits after 20 years of curing thousands with cancer. Ironically, Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez, originally involved with Sloane-Kettering`s effort to debunk Kelley, is praising Kelley and practicing his version of Kelley`s protocol in NYC.

Each of these foods is known in isolation to perform functions like reducing bodily inflammation, lowering blood pressure, and preventing type-2 diabetes, but researchers wanted to know how each of these worked together with one another to promote health. What they found was that overall, bad cholesterol levels were reduced by 33 percent, blood lipid levels dropped by 14 percent, and blood pressure fell by eight percent.

"The results have exceeded our expectations!" said Bjorck. "I would like to claim that there has been no previous study with similar effects on healthy subjects."

In her book Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well, Elaine Magee explains that nutrients work together with one another at the molecular level to provide health benefits.

"We now know that synergy does exist at the micronutrient level, in various combinations of vitamins and minerals," she explains. "These nutritional partnerships also explain, in part, why some research that has focused on only one nutrient may not have had the expected health results."

The effect is that this type of consumption has you eat more calories than your body needs; you easily gain weight; and it's easier to become the President than to lose weight.

We, the "tricks", are eating what amounts to about 31 teaspoons of added sugar a day, which equates to about 500 extra calories a day, or 25% of your daily caloric intake each and every day.

How do they trick us into doing that?

The "hooker" (the U.S. Government) requires that the "pimp" (the food industry) disclose the amount of sugar contained in a given product. Sounds great on paper, doesn't it?

What if sugar is given a different name, one that you may not be aware of? Having somewhat of a brain, you would assume that molasses and honey must contain sugar. But what about sorghum or corn syrup or high fructose corn syrup or turbinado or fructose or amazake or lactose or dextrose or sucrose, or galactose, or maltose? Jeez, it's enough to make you comatose!

The average person wouldn't associate these scientific-sounding names with sugar. But that's what they are.

These sugar aliases allow a food manufacturer to list these euphemisms on the same label without telling you it's all sugar.

The next trick they use is to list the information in grams. Why grams? Because you don't know squat about grams.

When you see that a 12-ounce can of soda contains 40 grams of sugar, you could care less. But what if you saw that that same can of soda contained 10 teaspoons of sugar? What would you think if you were sitting next to a guy in a restaurant and you watched him put 10 teaspoons of sugar in his coffee? You would think the guy was lolo (Hawaiian for crazy), wouldn't you?

So, this will make it easy for you. Four grams equals one teaspoon. You divide the total grams by four and you will know how many teaspoons you are about to ingest.

"Chocolate with a high cocoa content should be included in the diet of individuals with type-2 diabetes as part of a sensible, balanced approach to diet and lifestyle," said professor Steve Akin, author of the study.

Back in August, NaturalNews covered a Swedish study that found similar results (http://www.naturalnews.com/029559_c…). It also showed that high-flavanol chocolate that has been minimally processed is much different than the highly-processed chocolate candy sold in most grocery stores.

Actual cacao beans are rich in vital nutrients, including alkaloid bitters like theobromine (a different substance than the harmful bromine chemical), which stimulates the heart muscle and dilates blood vessels. This compound and others provide demonstrable benefits in lowering high blood pressure and maintaining healthy arteries.

Processed chocolate, however, has been stripped of most or all of these nutrients. Add in the bad fats and refined sugars and you are left with a chocolate product that is actually bad for your health.

The researchers found that children with vitamin D insufficiency were significantly more likely to suffer from severe asthma attacks than children with higher levels of the vitamin. During the course of the study, 38 percent of vitamin D-insufficient children had to be hospitalized at least once due to an asthma attack, compared with only 32 percent of vitamin-sufficient children.

Vitamin D did not appear to protect children from moderate asthma symptoms; in fact, lower vitamin levels appeared to be correlated with a slightly lower risk of moderate symptoms. The researchers were unable to explain this effect.

Scientists have long known that vitamin D plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of healthy teeth and bones. More recently, they have discovered that the vitamin plays a vital role in regulating the immune system, and that low levels may increase the risk of allergies, infection, autoimmune diseases, cancer, and heart disease.

The researchers in the current study suggested that the vitamin may help regulate the body's inflammatory response, perhaps even by enhancing the potency of anti-inflammatory hormones. They found that vitamin D appeared to be more protective among participants who were taking budesonide, a synthetic anti-inflammatory hormone.

The Argentinian study looked at how GBH affects vertebrate embryos in development. Treated during incubation with a dilute 1/5,000 GBH, the embryos showed several abnormalities in bone development, particularly in the skull and vertebrae. The animal embryos used were frogs and chickens.

For comparison, a 1/5,000 concentration (2.03mg/kg) is about 1/10^th of the amount used on most agricultural plants. The maximum level for GBH allowed in soybeans in the European Union is 20mg/kg (established in 1997 when GMO soy was commercialized in Europe). Soybeans after harvest can typically contain up to 17mg/kg of GBH residue.

The research done by Carrasco and his team was prompted by the high rate of birth defects in rural areas of Argentina where Monsanto's GMO soybeans are often grown in large monocultures and sprayed with Roundup from aircraft.

At a press conference during the 6^th European Conference of GMO-Free Regions in the European Parliament in Brussels, Professor Carrasco said, "The findings in the lab are compatible with malformations observed in humans exposed to glyphosate during pregnancy."³

Here in the U.S., we are undergoing a 3-pronged attack against our agricultural and food system. Over 90% of our soybeans, 70% of our corn, and many other common crops are now genetically modified. The plant-patenting and manipulation industry, led by Monsanto, has been taking over both the USDA and the FDA while systematically eliminating family and independent farmers who resist using GM seeds.⁴

Meanwhile, the evidence against the safety of GM foods continues to mount. This study from Professor Carrasco and his team is just the latest in a long line of research showing the extremely negative effects of the genetic manipulation of our food supply.

The best way to combat this problem individually? Buy from local, non-GMO farmers and growers, eat healthy, non-processed foods, and continue to spread the word about the evils of Big Agra. Things will only change when people begin voting en masse with their wallets and forks, walking away from the Big Agra-Industrial-Pharma-Government complex that is attempting to destroy our lives.
