Something you may like to know

Eat for the health of it.

You may have read that breast cancer servivors risk the reoccurance of their disease if they take a certain anti-depressant while taking Tamoxifen- the same drug that should keep them from getting breast cancer. You also may be taking an anti-depressant for hot flashes, because hormone replacements are believed not to be safe after breast cancer. Be sure to ask your doctor if you are taking any of these drugs like Prozac-Paxil or Zoloft, because they may wipe out the benefit of the Tamoxifen. Ask about taking Celexa or Lexapro. And now they are saying that lung cancer is more likely to be fatal in women who are taking Estrogen or Progestin. Another question for your doctor. I thought they always tested drugs for ten years before prescribing them to a lot of people, I don't know who they test them on but it seems about ten years after they put them out there they are telling the bad side effects. I think that's too late by then.
=======================
Researchers think now that childhood obesity is caused from food allergies. They want to motivate children to diet to keep their weight down. This will be pretty hard to do when they are using High Fructose Corn Syrup in all the foods that kids like to eat. HFCS is very high in calorie. It's in bread, cookies, catsup, candy, some cereals, sodas, fruit juices, just to name a few. I am very allergic to HFCS so I read labels all the time and it is difficult to find foods that don't have it in. I have a very painful skin reaction to it, but if these researchers think that kids are fat because of food allergies, does that mean an allergic reaction can also be fattening? They may be addicted to the chemical in the food. Basically, I think that these chemical additives are more of an addicting item or it makes you crave foods or foods that have that chemical in it. Naturally you will get fat if you eat more and more of this type of food.

Using certain people that I know as an example, when they drink soda, they seem to have to have it now, they have to stop and get it, some have to carry it with them, some even have to have their soda when they get up in the morning. I call that an addiction. I wish I could convince all manufacturers of food products to take every chemical out of our food supply and use only all natural. That's the only way to do it. Stevia is an all natural sweetener, why can't they use Stevia to sweeten diet foods and drinks?
=====================
Did you know that you should use a mouthwash that does not contain alchohol? Mouthwash that contains alchohol has a greater potential to cause oral cancer. A mouthwash that is very good and you can make it yourself is: Mix one ounce of 35% food-grade hydrogen Peroxide with 11 ounces of water. If you prefer a flavor, just add a few drops of liquid chlorophyll. CAUTION: Do not allow undiluted hydrogen peroxide to touch your skin while mixing.
=====================
You may ask why you should ask your doctor about vitamins, nutrition and supplements. Some doctors may poopoo vitamins etc. but I feel they are realizing that the food we eat is not always the most nutritious and they may encourage supplements. I know my doctor always asks for a list of medications that my husband is on and if he takes vitamins and has never said he shouldn't take them.
