  •  7 WORST food and medicine ingredients of 2019
    Posted: 12 Dec 2019 06:36 AM PST
    Just when you think you’re out, they pull you back in. Trying to go vegan or vegetarian and boost your longevity odds? Have you been cutting back on “red meat” or even cutting it out to help your heart and cleansing organs? Maybe you “took a chance” and avoided the flu shot. Yes, you’re getting smarter and closer to the truth, but you’re not quite there yet. The food industry is tricky, with well-hidden ingredients that can completely undermine all your hard work.
    Are you one of those people who tries “healthy” items at fast food outlets and thinks they actually have some kind of nutritional value or relevancy? There’s no use going jogging to get in shape if you’re going to wear bad shoes. The problems will just rear their ugly heads later, and you probably won’t be able to run at all for quite a while. Get it?
    Maybe you choose your meats “wisely” and look for steak, burger and salmon that have that a deep reddish/pinkish hue — that must mean it’s fresher. Maybe you’re dead wrong. Big Food knows your little strategies and they’ve ruined them, along with everything processed and GMO. Wait, you didn’t know? That’s red dye, and it’s toxic to your health. And it’s only one of their many tricks.
    Just when you think you’re doing it right, you find out you’re wrong, again
    Some people think if they just buy everything organic, they’re “good to go,” but they may be forgetting that many “certified organic” foods are imported from China, where heavy metal contamination runs high, and the USDA does not care, nor do they even check those levels of lead, aluminum, tungsten, you name it. Just take a look at China’s water supply and you’ll understand. Then there are organic foods chock full of blood-coagulating canola oil. That’s bad health news across the board.
    100% organic essential oil sets now available for your home and personal care, including Rosemary, Oregano, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Clary Sage and more, all 100% organic and laboratory tested for safety. A multitude of uses, from stress reduction to topical first aid. See the complete listing here, and help support this news site.
    Canola oil is blood-clogging, not “heart healthy,” as they’ve claimed for decades. It coagulates and causes weight gain, memory loss, cancer and dementia. Yes, even if it’s “organic” or “cold pressed” or “expeller pressed.” It just doesn’t matter because it clogs your blood and causes dementia. Fact: Alzheimer’s Disease barely existed in the USA 100 years ago.
    Another example is whole grains. Millions of consumers switched to “whole grains” or “multi-grain” for just about anything they could find, when the mass media told everybody that they are healthy, but they all got blind-sided by glyphosate, the world’s serial-killing herbicide that combines with other deadly chemicals to saturate crops with cancer-causing pesticide. Now it’s sprayed on almost all grains in the USA at harvest as a drying agent, to prevent mold and fungus in the storage silos.
    Don’t fall for the A.H.P.S. – American Health Ponzi Scheme
    Trying to eat “less red meat” and stick with that faithful bird all you carnies? If it’s not organic, you can bet your last copay it’s been doused with bleach for your “safe consumption.” And don’t forget, the CDC still tells you NOT to wash off your chicken in your kitchen or you might spread salmonella and E. coli all over your counter tops. Go figure. Those chicken “farms” (indoor barns full of feces and sickly chicks) are so filthy only chemicals can stave off all the diseases.
    Time to buy organic, local food and filter all your water yourself with a Big Berkey. Seek only natural medicine and never buy any food or medicine advertised on television, or pushed heavily by public schools and medical quacks. Why do you think the flu shot is free? It’s not because it builds immunity, my friends. Don’t fall for the American Health Ponzi Scheme.

    Red yeast rice lowers cholesterol levels, scientists confirm
    Posted: 12 Dec 2019 06:34 AM PST
    Medicinal foods have been around for ages. The ancient Chinese used plant-based foods as medicines for a wide variety of conditions. One example of a functional food is red yeast rice (RYR). This traditional Chinese culinary medicine was once used to promote digestion, invigorate blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis. Today, RYR is known for its ability to lower blood cholesterol levels.
    Earlier studies point to a compound called monacolin K as the component of RYR responsible for its cholesterol-lowering properties. However, recent studies now suggest that other plant nutrients, such as unsaturated fatty acids, isoflavones and phytosterols, may also contribute to RYR’s ability to reduce the risk of heart disease.
    In a new study published in The American Journal of Chinese Medicine, researchers from Taiwan examined the efficacy of monacolin K-rich RYR and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-rich RYR in treating hyperlipidemia. They found that both compounds exert positive, albeit different, effects on blood cholesterol and lipid levels, suggesting that monacolin K and GABA are equally beneficial for the treatment of high blood cholesterol and triglycerides.
    The anti-hyperlipidemic properties of red yeast rice
    Researchers from Taiwan decided to verify the results of previous studies which suggest that other compounds in RYR besides monacolin K can reduce serum lipid levels. They conducted a randomized control, double-blind clinical trial and used two types of RYR for their experiment, namely, monacolin K-rich RYR and GABA-rich RYR.
    Mother Nature’s micronutrient secret: Organic Broccoli Sprout Capsules now available, delivering 280mg of high-density nutrition, including the extraordinary “sulforaphane” and “glucosinolate” nutrients found only in cruciferous healing foods. Every lot laboratory tested. See availability here.
    Monacolin K is known to have a similar chemical composition to the cholesterol-lowering drug, lovastatin. Lovastatin is a popular statin medication that can reduce cholesterol production in the liver. It is often used to prevent and treat coronary heart disease.
    Meanwhile, GABA is the principal inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain that also plays an important role in the regulation of macrophage functions. Macrophages are immune cells involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.
    The researchers gave 50 eligible subjects either monacolin K-rich RYR, GABA-rich RYR or a placebo, then evaluated their total cholesterol (TC), LDL-C (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol), HDL (high-density lipoprotein), triglyceride (TC) and blood chemistry data. Evaluation occurred before administration, then after one month, after two months, after three months and one month after the end of the test period.
    During the three-month intervention, the researchers observed that the serum TC and LDL-C levels of the subjects that received monacolin K decreased more than that of the other groups. Meanwhile, serum TG levels also declined steadily, but were not significantly different among the three groups.
    The researchers also found no marked differences in the serum HDL levels of the three groups. While monacolin K-rich RYR reduced cholesterol as expected, GABA-rich RYR reduced serum TG, although the reduction was not significant.
    Based on these results, the researchers concluded that using different concentrations and ratios of monacolin K and GABA is beneficial for treating hyperlipidemia. (Related: Red yeast rice improves endothelial function by reducing inflammation, alleviating oxidative stress.)
    Medicinal benefits of red yeast rice
    Red yeast rice, sometimes called red kojic rice, is a type of fermented rice used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to promote overall health. It is produced by allowing a type of yeast called Monascus purpureus to ferment ordinary rice. M. purpureus has a distinct purplish-red color that gets transferred to RYR after fermentation, hence its name. Today, RYR is sold as an over-the-counter supplement and is used by many as a less-expensive alternative to costly anti-hyperlipidemic drugs.
    According to studies, RYR offers significant health benefits. These include:

    [size={defaultattr}][font={defaultattr}]
    RYR is available in capsule or tablet form with a recommended dosage of 1,200 to 2,400 mg daily. However, some RYR products — depending on how they were produced — may contain very little monacolin K and thus may not be as effective, so obtain RYR only from reliable sources. Also, before using this supplement, consult with your healthcare provider to ensure that it (or any of its components) won’t interfere with any medications you are taking.
