Dear Friend!
You have probably noticed that this is the time of year that people make lots of New Years Resolutions. For example, I resolve to send out these informative and life changing newsletters on a more regular basis. There are 2 HUGE things that Americans want during the new year.
1. They want more HEALTH.
2. They want more WEALTH.
The healthier you are, the easier it is to make good decisions that positively affect your bottom line that allow you to attract more money into your life. It is difficult to amass wealth if you are not healthy enough to think clearly and have the energy to work from day to day.
The big problem with America is TOO MUCH SUGAR. It is the SWEET DECEPTION of things that taste great. Later in the year (2015) I will be doing a lecture about the BITTER SWEET TRUTH OF SUGAR AND FRUIT and its sweet deception. On the T.V. and the radio and internet and magazines we are constantly being told that fruit is great for you and that you should have your 5 servings of fruits and vegetables every day…… but is this really true? Or, is it just some marketing gimmick that sounds great and allows the American Heart Association to convince everyone that they will be fine and never get heart disease. Well, I can share with you this much: the approach ain’t working. Heart disease is the number one leading cause of death in the United States and has been the leading cause of death for a few years now. If you live in the United States, your chances of getting heart disease are 1 in 2. That is a 50% chance. SUGAR CAUSES HEART DISEASE IN ALL FORMS. This is a documented fact and not my opinion. Sugar causes homocysteine levels to rise. Homocysteine leads to heart disease. Sugar also causes AGEs (Advanced Glycation End products) to go up and this leads to inflammation (increased c-Reactive Protein) and this then leads to heart disease. This is what happens. These chemicals as well as nuts and seeds and excessive spicy foods irritate the small intestine and the small intestine villi and microvilli and then lead to inflammation that negatively affects the heart and other parts of the body. This is new news for Western Medicine but in Traditional Chinese Medicine it has been known about for 100,000 years!!
I emailed out this newsletter about 8 months ago. I liked it so much that I thought that I would send it out again. It is expected that in the United States 1 in 4 people will be diabetic by 2050. I know that I am not the first person to talk to you about this. I promise that this email relates directly to you. Based upon the photos here, you probably already know what I am going to discuss in this email newsletter. It is difficult to watch the news, read the paper, go on the internet or listen to the radio today without there being some tidbit of information shared about sugar. You know what they say, if you cannot beat them, join them. Sugar is composed of empty calories which your body will often store as fat because it does not know what to do with those empty calories. If you do not eat any sugar your body is still able to synthesize its own sugar from fats and proteins. Biochemists call this Gluconeogenesis. (Please make sure to view this email in your browser so that it can be viewed as intended.)
The book shown above is a good book about sugar addiction and how to help free yourself from the addiction. The book shown below is also a great classic.
Many people are not aware that all of the photos of foods to the right here are photos of foods or drinks that are high in sugar or broken down into sugar in the body (high glycemic index foods). In the late 1940s and 1950s the medical establishment falsified research studies so that the sugar industry would be able to sell more and more sugar. Here is a copy of one of those old adds for you below.
We have been lied to by the powers that be for a long time now. It is now well known that sugar contributes to nearly all of the modern diseases that many of us experience such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, RA, Parkinsons, etc. It is disturbing to think that in the recent post World War II past, companies were permitted to claim that lab tests showed that little babies who had a lot of sugar would be better accepted in school, be happier and healthier. We now know that sugar in babies is directly linked to ADD, ADHD, Bipolar Syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Thyroid Disease, Seasonal Affective Disorder, Depression, manic episodes, etc.
