90% Of People At Risk From Hidden Salt
Sea Salt and Potassium Can Be Good Replacement for Salt in Your Diet
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention says that even though Americans should only be eating one teaspoon of salt a day, only one out of ten of us actually keep to those guidelines. Those at risk are supposed to have even less, 2/3 of a teaspoon, and oddly enough, even less of them, one out of 18, keep to that goal.
An article published in the Wall Street Journal highlights the struggles of us as Americans to limit the salt in our diet.
It’s all been laid out. Too much salt causes hypertension, high blood pressure, edema, swelling, heart problems...

Americans Put Too Much Trust Into USDA Stamp of Approval
But Do Most Even Know What It Means?
When we go to the supermarket we look for the Grade A stamp on an egg carton, correct? I think that many of us do it without even thinking. Well, according to the Wall Street Journal article, most of us don’t really even know what the stamp means, but we put our trust in it that the USDA has approved this item for consumption, However, the truth about the stamp and how blindly we trust can be shocking.
The recent salmonella outbreak in our eggs did scare us as a society, sure, but did it change the way that we bought or researched our food. Probably not. Chances are that most of us as...

Is Obesity a Result of Poverty or Food Marketing?
If you can't afford to eat natural and organic foods, there is not doubt you will obese. People who are poor can't help but be unhealthy and, for some, obese, because the quality of the foods theuy are taking in are deplorable.
It's hard to disagree with that. As a matter of fact a congressional challenge in the 2010 actually resulted in unexpected findings. Several Congress people were asked to try and live on a food stamp diet, meaning only spend what would normally be given per week in food stamps, for 7 days, in order to raise awareness about hunger and budget cuts. But what resulted was also a lesson in the qualit...

Blood Pressure Debate Heats Up
A recent study has just announced that it is acceptable to have blood pressure that is 140/80, which was considered dangerous before. The conclusion was made because there were no more deaths in this group of patients compared with patients who had 120/80 or less blood pressure.
Patients were followed for two decades. Basically the conclusion implies that because you didn't die, it must be OK.
But what about other conditions like dementia, nonfatal strokes, nonfatal heart attacks, etc? These issues the study did not take into consideration. Does it mean that if you are not dead, the rest does not matter?
Causes o...

Paralyzing Pain Can Be Cured
Tumors, Tension, Sleep Are Only Three Headache Triggers
Have you ever suffered from a headache? If yes, then you know how uncomfortable it could be. Headaches can paralyze you for days, weeks and even months! Headaches can make your life miserable. But despite the fact that more than 10 million Americans suffer from headaches, traditional medicine cannot really offer a cure. Because the most common approach is simply giving a pill to treat the symptoms, it looks like we might be doomed to a lifetime of Excedrin and days lost.
The better approach would be to find the root cause of the problem and eliminate it. Sound...

Heart Disease and Height Coincide

FDA Backs Away From Yet Another Drug
Alzheimer's Drug Proven Ineffective
It has become almost common to find out that FDA approved drugs that not only have lethal side effects, but now to find out also that they may just be completely ineffective.
Maybe the FDA is overburdened. Maybe there is another reason. Maybe too many drugs are on the market. Something has to be going on that all these so-called medicines are being approved, only to be pulled from shelves a year later saying that they are unsafe.
The most recent news to shock the medical world: the Alzheimer drug Namenda, with yearly sales of $1.2 billion is not actually doing anyone a stitch of good, ex...

Don't Put All The Blame On Hormones - Gluten Can Shorten Your Sex Life, Too
Even though it is believed that with menopause and andropause comes a loss of libido, fertility and sex drive, it has been always assumed that the reason is due to a change in hormones.
However, a recent study is claiming that it may not be the only reason, and that gluten, once again, is the culprit for our failing health! (1,2).
Moreover, the problem starts long time before menopause hits. This problem affects the whole reproductive life of a woman, leading to miscarriages and premature birth. This problem makes menopause more severe than in healthy women. But what is it? What is this unknown enemy that can make su...

Americans Still Not Eating Healthy, Study Says. Is There an Easier Way?
A study has found that Americans rarely eat salad, the reason: it's difficult to prepare. Getting the fresh ingredients, cleaning, cutting, preparing. However, oncologists suggest that you eat 5 fresh fruits and vegetables daily - making salad an important dish. It's ingredients are raw, hence the vitamins and nutrients aren't destroyed by high temperatures.
While bagged salads are a convenient option, most are washed in a water-chlorine bath - and the price over a head of lettuce is a difficult hurdle for some customers. In our hurried days, we don;t always make the best food choices, and the inconvenience of preparing s...

Whole grains: you’re being fed half truths
Eat your grains! Whole grains are extremely popular because of their heavily advertised health benefits. But the more research is done, the less attractive they look to doctors and patients—and to me.
While doing a follow-up appointment with a patient, he mentioned that he had eaten bread the day before the appointment. I said, “As per my advice, you should not eat bread at all.” He answered, “It was whole wheat bread, so should not be a problem.”
He thought that if it is a whole wheat bread, then it’s ok.
Why did he think like that? Because grains are a staple food for many of us. Because mainstream m...

The big cover-up: Edible films on organic produce
We all know organic is better when it comes to fruits and vegetables, right? After all, they’re cleaner and purer than produce grown with pesticides, and packaged with preservatives, right?
Wrong.
I started having doubts when a patient told me that. “Contrary to your advice, I don’t eat organic fruits and vegetables because I don’t believe they are as pure
as advertised.” Knowing how inventive our food industry is, I didn’t argue with him. Instead, I started paying much more attention to how organic fruits and vegetables look.
Too good to be true?
I went to the store and bought organic apples. I examined...
