You hear a lot about GMO’s these days. What is the best way to avoid GMO’s? Eat whole foods! What exactly is a GMO? Genetically modified foods have had foreign genes inserted into their genetic codes.
Nutirtional Information and News
Fire retardants. Lead. Mercury. Pesticides. Hormones. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). DDT. Dioxins.
These are just some of the secret toxins hiding in the food you eat every single day.
In a recent university study, scientists discovered that a shocking 41% of all foods tested – that includes fresh fish, meats, canned goods, snacks, and more – contained dangerous toxins.
Soy milk has enjoyed an undeserving health label in recent years. According to Dr. Mercola, the Chinese have enjoyed the health benefits of soy for centuries. The difference between the healthy soy that they eat and the soy that we get here in the United States comes down to fermentation. Fermented soy is good and healthy, unfermented soy is downright dangerous.
Why? Our soy is genetically modified to stand up to poisonous pesticides. The studies are showing that the damage is showing up in 2nd and 3rd generations instead of those who are originally exposed. Even if you have organic soy, (only about 5% in USA), it is dangerous. Soy has estrogen components and phytic acid.
The difference in diet philosophy is really obvious!
Dr. Mark Hyman says to do everything you can and there is a long, strong list to reach ultra-metabolism.
Dr. Joel Fuhrman, in his book “Eat to Live”, he speaks of lowering our metabolism to increase our longevity. WHAT!!! How can that be? If you Google “increase metabolism” on the Internet you get 100’s of responses with advice on how to raise our metabolism to lose weight. Dr. Fuhrman pretty much stands alone on Google to lower the metabolism.
Metabolism is our resting metabolic rate. It is the amount of energy that the body requires to maintain life. According to Dr. Fuhrman, “there are unfavorable consequences to running your body at faster than normal speed, and raising your metabolism is not the key to weight loss.” He says that by increasing our metabolism we increase damage to our DNA, proteins and lipids, thereby decreasing the body’s physiological functions over time and leading to tissue and organ damage which leads to chronic disease and death.
