  • Cheers! Bottoms Up With Aspartame - Let me preface this article by saying that I had been just as guilty as most in that quest to look fit, trim and healthy. After being a fat kid, I became obsessed with working out and weight control and carried that mission all through my adult life.

  • Do Artificial Sweeteners In Diet Soda Cause Obesity? - Ever watch a very large person order a Big Mac, large fries, and top it off with a Diet Coke? Ever notice that you rarely see thin people drinking diet sodas? I have. And it made me wonder if could there be a link between diet beverages or artificial sweeteners and obesity. Research suggests that there is, indeed, a link. First, our current obesity epidemic has coincided perfectly with the introduction of large amounts of artificial sweeteners into our food supply. While we don’t know that one has caused the other, it is suspicious.

Sadly, two out of every three readers of this article are in the portion of the population that this question would appropriate for. Yes, 66% of all adults over age 20 are considered either overweight or obese when measured against established charts for height and weight. Men beat out women, with 70.5% of men overweight or obese versus 61.6% women. You see ladies, we men are better than you at doing certain things. All right, not quite a badge of honor.
  • Herbal Colon Cleanse-keeping Your Colon Clean Naturally - Herbal colon cleanse is gaining popularity as it prevents toxic formation in the body naturally. Many people consume large amounts of toxic substances daily, including caffeine, sugar, white flour, aspartame, microwave-cooked food, hydrogenated fats and deep fried foods. This results in accumulation of unwanted matter forming in colon. A colon’s function is to eliminate waste material and bacteria and absorb water and mineral salts while maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance.

This creates many health problems, including abdominal pain, constipation and lack of energy.
  • Are You Feeling Down? Take Phenylalanine For Energy - I got married recently. I could also say "I married recently". I am never quite sure which is correct.

That lull eventually came...
  • Food Additives Can Be Harmful to Your Health - There are literally thousands of chemicals known as "food additives" that are intentionally added to our foods and some of these have been linked to cancer and other diseases.

He was saying that cooking with mono sodium glutamate (MSG) is a real health problem to Malaysians and that he "doesn't allow it in his house". MSG, so what's the big deal? It's the stuff used in large quantities in Chinese/Southeast Asian food, right? Wrong. It's everywhere in almost all processed foods! You see, it was derived from seaweed in Japan in the 1930s and very quickly became popular in United States as a food additive.
  • Work From Home: Splenda Laboratory Rats Needed - The internet is full of work at home employment opportunities and the FDA can't wait for you to submit your application. One slight problem, there is no compensation involved. Hope you didn't wander over here looking for some extra disposable cash. Next problem, you didn't really need to come here to enlist, you are already on the payroll. If you happen to use the sweetener Splenda, or sucralose as it appears in additive form, you already smack in the middle of one big research study being conducted to see just how bad this is for you.
