chemicals in cigarettes
Eat for the health of it.
I am a nut(if you want to call me that)for health magazines and any information to help anyone with any type of illness. I have been helped myself, through this information they put in magazines and on the internet. I will try anything that seems sensible, but I use caution with things that sound a little quackery. If it is all natural and I know it will not hurt me, why not try it? Most of the time it really works. Some of these natural treatments people have used for many, many years and have been passed down and they are better for you then these drugs and chemicals.
Because of the chemicals in cigarettes, they are really bad for you, but when the indians smoked their peace pipes, they grew their own tobacco and they didn't add chemicals to it. I doubt if any of them died from smoking too much, nor did they die from lung cancer.
I know this may sound crazy, but they claim if a person smokes cigarettes and they also drink a lot of coffee, research has shown that it will prevent them from getting bladder cancer. And maybe other types too. I can believe that, because of the flushing of the kidneys, and coffee beans are loaded with antioxidents. I think if I were to smoke, I would choose a very fine cigar made from unadulterated tobacco. They claim a good cigar can help suppress the appetite, help you stay mentally allert, helps prevent Alzheimer's and reduces the risk of Parkinson's disease. I don't think I am ready to take up smoking in any form because it is still a stinky habit, but if you are a smoker, this may give you an incentive to roll your own but you would also have to grow your own to be chemical free. Aren't some people doing that? Maybe that's the wrong kind though. You could grow your own tobacco leaves and dry them. I can remember my grandfather rolled his own cigarettes and we used to help him, then he got a machine that rolled then, but you still had to lick the dry glue to make it sticky.

Laughter is healthy: A 98 year old Mother Superior from Ireland was dying. The other nuns were trying whatever they could to make her last journey as comfortable as they could. They tried to give her some warm milk but she refused it. When one of the nuns took the glass back to the kitchen she remembered a bottle of Irish whiskey they had received as a gift the previous Christmas. She poured a generous amount in the warm milk and returned to the dying nun.
She held the glass to the Mother Superiors lips. Mother drank a little, then a little more and it wasn't long, it was gone.
"Mother," the nun asked in ernest, "Please give us some wisdom before you die."
She raised herself up in the bed and said,"Don't sell that cow."

A bit more about fructose
Eat for the health of it.
So many studies are done on animals but really, is this a good way to see if that product is going to harm us? Xylitol will kill a dog but it seems to be okay for people.
And how about corn meal? People eat corn meal all the time; corn fritters, corn bread, mush (yuk!) Anyway, if you want to get rid of ants around your back door just sprinkle a little corn meal around and the ants will eat it and they cannot digest it and it kills them.
They have studied the effects of dietary sugar on rats, when male rats are fed a diet deficient in copper, with sucrose as it's carbohydrate, they developed severe abnormalities of vital organs.
These experiments should concern us because of the enormous use of High Fructose Corn Syrup that are in soft drinks, fruit juices, catsup, cookies and other things that children like the most. Are they trying to eliminate kids?
A chiropractor that had examined children recently, says that children are like mush because they eat so many foods that contain this High Fructose Corn Syrup which is low in copper. Yes, we need copper to form elastin and collagen.
Sugar has been in our diets for a long time and it probably never was really good for us even though it was made from natural things like sugar beets and sugar cane. Then they made it from corn and vegetables--thus fructose, dextrose,and dextrine, but I don't think that any of these are as bad as the high fructose corn syrup, because when they made the HFCS they added chemicals. It was done in a lab, using chemicals, not a processing plant where we took out sugar beets or sugar cane. The only thing there was when they started to use a bleaching agent to whiten the sugar. Why does sugar have to be pure white?
I think they are just using too many chemicals in our food.

Vegetarians and eating disorders
Eat for the health of it.
I just ran accross an article on vegetarianism. I know it's not my cup of tea, although I love vegetables; just about any vegetable, but I have to have some meat with them.
I would guess that vegetarians are trying to keep their weight down, but they are allowed to eat so many starches and they can have sweets as long as they eat vegetables. I imagine that they don't stay in your system too long. Then I think you would do some binge eating. This in turn invite unhealthy eating habits.
You should really be concerned if your teenager is going meatless. Teens may be lead to believe that it's healthy to live on veggies but teens should be watched carefully for binge eating; it could be a cry for help.
A little thought here, if you are afraid to eat table salt; try sea salt, and you can get sea salt with iodine. Your body does need salt, as a matter of fact if you don't eat salt it can lead to heart attack.

Laughter is healthy: Jake, a five year old was learning to read. He points at a picture and says, "Look mom it's a frickin' elephant." Mom takes a deep breathe and asks,"What did you call that?" "It's a frickin' elephant, mom. It says so in the picture." And so it does, 'African elephant.'
Gotta get off of here, we are having a storm and I may lose my power again, nite.

More sweet poison
Eat for the health of it.
I guess I am so fired up about this High Fructose Corn Syrup and how they can get away with putting it into almost everything. I keep running accross more information on it, and I just want to pass it on to who ever wants to read it. The information that I read recently is about the soft drink industry, which uses High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) as their primary sweetener for soft drinks. The estimated consumption of soft drinks in the US, per person, per year, is 41 gallons.
Teenagers and childron are among the largest consumers. Teenage boys drink, on the average of three or more cans a day. And 10% drink seven or more cans a day. A 20 ounce bottle of soda contains 0 fat, 0 protein but a whopping 67 grams of carbohydrates, mostly from the HFCS. No wonder our children are fighting obesity. They are fighting a loosing battle because it is in almost everything.
They have soda vending machines everywhere, and they have them in every shool I have ever been in. They had them when I went to school too. It's okay but they should make it mandatory that it should only have safe drinks such as water and all natural juices. Even the water faucets at the schools should be filtered water and I am sure it is. If it isn't filtered, I know that all water that comes through the lines should be chlorinated because of bacteria, but it also should be filtered because chlorine can cause cancer.

bits of this and that
Eat for the health of it.
Did you know that the sweetener xylitol (which is safe for people) that they use in chewing gum can kill your dog? Something that is in it is lethal to them. I have been using it for years because they put Aspartame in all the other gums, and aspartame is poison to me.
Fructose is an all natural sweetener that occurs naturally in fruits and vegetables and their juices, as well as honey. That is what gives them their sweet taste. Fructose, in crystaline form has been used for many years as a sweetener in foods and beverages.
Low carb diets are really good for you. If you follow them right you will be eating pretty much all natural. I was on it for years. What is bad if you go off of it you will gain it back as soon as you start eating starches and sugars. I found that out.
You can use Peroxide to fight germs, viruses, infection and many others. Lookit up in the Encyclopedia Britanica under Granulocytes.
This is a quick Blog for me, as I was about to start last night, the electricity went out and like a kid I want to go and watch the parade in town.

Laughter is healthy: Two men in a mental institution were discussing how they should not be in there; one says, "We are okay, I don't see why we have to stay in this fenced in yard." The other answers, "That's right, look at that guy pushing that wheel barrel." The other hollers at the guy with the wheel barrel."Hey man, what's in your wheel barrel?" He answer's, "Cow manure." The inmate asks. "What are you going to do with that?" The guy with the wheel barrel answers,"I am going to put this on my strawberries." The inmate says, "See what I mean, I use cream and sugar on mine."
I know it's a stupid joke but that's all I have for right now and I am in a hurry.

Not enough vitamin-D
Eat for the health of it.
Do you really think the sun is bad for you? Vitamin-D plays an important part in protecting women against breast cancer and it has been proven to relieve pain in bones and loints. I know this to be true because 25 years ago, I was in a bad auto accident, I broke my back, ruptured four disks in my neck and I have a badly bulging disc in my lower back. Now, talk about pain, I have been through a lot of that, but one thing thst really makes me feel good is being in the sunshine. I do not get burnt, I use only natural oils and skin lotions.I do not use any of the sunblocks because: not only am I allergic to them but I have read many articles on sunblocks that lotions with sunblock can cause skin cancer.
I know what you are thinking; that a child needs sunblock and I suppose it won't hurt if you do not lather him/her up every time they go outside. I think the best solution is to keep the child in the shade; they don't have to be right out in the sun. Most children are outside a lot, early in the spring and they build a natural protection on their skin so they won't burn, and then as the season matures and their skin toughens and adjusts, they won't have a problem. If they are not an outside player then you may have to use a sunblock but don't over due it by lathering them every half hour. More then likely a child that does not like the outside will not play in the sun anyway. Let him play in the shade and only encourage them to go in the sun for a very short time and they will adjust to the sun slowly.
You need vitamin-D, especially when you get older and the bones get brittle, and then older people fall easily, and if they do not have enough vitamin-D to strengthen their bones, they break something and it is usually their hip.
Yes, you can get too much sun; I have seen many people that come to Florida that end up as red as the Lobster at a cookout. Mostly they are kids on spring break and they are only there for a week and they want to make sure they have a nice tan to show off when they get home, but instead they end up going home with their skin peeling off and they are all scarred from deep burns. In a case like this I would encourage using sunscreen or limiting your time in the sun; do it gradually. I have seen people lathering their child every few minutes; if he is that sensitive keep him in the shade.
When I was younger I worked in the field and I would wear a light weight shirt and I would remove it periodically and let the sun warm my skin and when it got hot I would put it back on so I wouldn't get burnt or I would get out of the sun until it cooled later in the day. Yes, I wore a sun halter under my shirt.
They say that the sun causes cancer but I don't recall anyone ever having cancer when I was a child. I remember that the doctor told my mother that she had to sit in the sun every day, because she was anemic. Even as I got older, I still did not know anyone with cancer. Maybe when I was about thirty, my father-in-law had a lip cancer, that they said was from his smoking. Then a few years later my father was diagnosed with cancer, I was devistated because I thought we would all have cancer and die. I had mixed feelings when they told him he probably contracted the cancer from the chemicals that he worked with at the water treatment plant. I felt bad because I was going to lose my dad but at the same time I wouldn't have to worry that my whole family may get it too.
To me it only shows that, if you get too much of anything, it can be bad for you. If you get too much sun, (you get burnt), too much fiber can cause bowel irritation, too much iron can be linked to diabetes, cancer and heart disease, too much soy can pump full of estrogen, which inturn can depress your thyroid. Too many carbs, like sugary and starchy foods, you will probably get fat.
