Today's topic is:

 

Lifestyle Poisons to Avoid.

 

Number One is GMO foods….bad for us terrible for the planet.  If you don't believe me read my article about the honey bee population here…  It is nearly impossible to avoid GMO's unless you buy organic foods.   It is illegal to use GMO products or ingredients in foods labeled and certified organic.  Again, much better for you and much better for the planet.

The reason that GMO foods are so dangerous is that they have mutant DNA genetic material which is not natural to our bodies and the environment.

 

Fake Sugars: 

While no form of sugar, even many natural sugars are to be used in large quantities, fake sugars and sugar alcohols are as above not biochemically harmonious to our bodies and health, some are even downright poisonous.    I go into this in detail in my article “How Sweet it isn't” here:  http://www.apple-a-day-clinic.com/Health_and_Nutrition_Blog?m8:post=the-horrific-news-about-splenda-and-better-and-healthier-sugar-replacers which also discusses natural sugars in detail with a handy chart for shopping sprees.  Two healthy and natural sugar replacers can be found in our store here:

Essence of Tienchi:

Mormordica Tea:

 

GLUTEN FREE Foods:

In my article: Why I don't eat “Gluten Free Products”,  I discuss in detail why most “gluten free” products are to be avoided….As processed foods they are not particularly healthy and also not usually whole grain.  They also tend to be very high in sugars….Much too much to be used regularly.  All in all, just a revisit of the “fat free” craze of the early 90's.

 

TAP Water:

The tap water you and your family and pets may be drinking is adulterated with toxic chemicals and drug residues.  You can read all about this in depth in my article “drugged waters”.  Filtering your water is one of the most important steps you can take to improve your health.  Avoid filters which add fluoride to your water as this will lead to thyroid problems for you and your children and pets.

 

Cleanses/Colonics:

I have so many people come to my office who claim that they are healthy because they do “cleanses” on a regular basis.  Most cleanses are harsh purgatives which in fact just stress the large intestine and do nothing except remove food stagnation.  Ditto: Colonics….  These are the fast food practices of holistic health.  Save your money and adopt real far reaching health behaviours.  Just implementing avoidance of some of these poisons will prove far more helpful.
