Summer is here and a Happy Fourth of July to everyone. I
hope you enjoy your holiday weekend.
This month has flown by as Susana and I
have moved into our new residence. Nothing like a move to keep you busy! As
such, I don’t have an original article this month, however, I have three
interesting articles I want to share.
I’m sure many of you either saw or had a friend or relative
question your devotion to coconut oil as a health food as the American Heart
Association came out this past month with a hit piece. Or the British Medical
Journal saying that unless you are celiac you shouldn’t avoid gluten or you
won’t get enough whole grains in your diet. Or what will happen now that
California has declared glyphosate is linked to cancer. See below for more details.
RXBARS are here! I am
not carrying RXBARS in the office. I sell them by cases of 12. They are $24
plus tax. You can mix flavors to create your own case. If you are interested, please
let me know.
Reminder – the next
Open House is scheduled for July 20 at 7:00 PM. The topic is digestion: signs
of poor digestion, how digestion is supposed to work, how digestion can be
compromised, and what to do about it. It should be another interesting session.
Coconut Oil is
Healthy
Coconut oil is not healthy and never has been healthy, or so
says the USA Today as a mouthpiece for the American Heart Association. Of
course we know better, but just for kicks, here’s what they said:
And here’s our side of the story:
Gluten is Not Healthy
The prestigious British Medical Journal reports that only
people with celiac need to worry about consuming gluten. For everyone else,
it’s all in our imagination. Plus, if we don’t eat gluten, we won’t get all the
whole grains that are supposedly so healthy for us. We know that to our body
these whole grains are carbohydrate and that means they are sugar, and too much
sugar leads to inflammation and subsequently heart disease, diabetes, and a
host of other diseases. However, the authors of the study concluded, “The avoidance of gluten may result in reduced consumption
of beneficial whole grains, which may affect cardiovascular risk. The promotion
of gluten-free diets among people without celiac disease should not be
encouraged.”
Here’s our side of the story:
Glyphosate (RoundUp)
Causes Cancer
This is also from the USA Today, but tells us that
California has added glyphosate, the key ingredient in RoundUp to its list of
cancer causing agents. But what will they do about it? Not much – perhaps
require a label!!
Here’s the story: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2017/06/27/roundup-ingredient-cancerous-list-monsanto-california/103222928/
I hope you all enjoy these articles. As you can see we must
always be aware of how things get reported in the mainstream media.
Again, have a great holiday weekend.
