| |
| The latest tallies show that over three million people in North America alone carry some type of autism diagnosis. With this increase the biggest question people are asking is why. Over 20 years ago the incidence was estimated to be 1 in 10,000. Now it’s a whopping 1 in 166 according to the U.S. Center for Disease control and is still expected to rise. With the life long care of someone with autism costing approximately 2.2 million per person according to the MIND Institute, we need to start committing proper resources to early intervention now to enable this population to lead fulfilling and productive lives as well as contribute to societyThe frustrating point in the above (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Aspartame -More Dangerous Than High Fructose Corn Syrup |
| |
| It's really hard to believe that something could be worse than
the intense sugar loads from high fructose corn syrup and sucrose. But, Aspartame ( Equal, Nutrasweet, Equal Measure, Spoonful, Canderal) is even more dangerous to your health.Aspartame, was first discovered in 1965 when Searle chemist Jim
Schlatter, who was developing this drug for another purpose,
accidentally licked some from his finger and found it
to be sweet tasting. The ingredients in aspartame are
phenylalanine(50%), aspartic acid (40%) and methyl alcohol(10%).Aspartame Approved by the FDA in January 1981Even after about eight years of steadfast refusal by the FDA to
approve this dangerous dr (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The New Food Pyramid: Another Attempt At Providing Easy Answers |
| |
| The Food Pyramid, first introduced to the US in 1992, just experienced a major overhaul. Why? Perhaps proper education about nutrition isn't as easy as picking out food from a colorful chart. Last month, The New England Journal of Medicine reported that childhood obesity was causing a retreat in average lifespan. That report seems to only cover part of the picture as chronic disease, such as cardiac dysfunction and Type II Diabetes have been on a steady rise in recent years. Because many people seem to be unwilling to learn how to make better lifestyle choices, it is only the toxic pharmaceutical drugs that seem to be extending the lives of these people.Agriculture secretary Mike J (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Face of the Waters |
| |
| The story of creation begins with water. Water is an essential nutrient in our diet, but many people fail to address this important component of health. While part of the problem can be addressed by consuming foods such as fruits and vegetables that are naturally rich with water, taking in additional water is also important.In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Genesis 1:1-2An amazing discovery was made in 2003. Lurking far below the surface of the ocean, an unusual squid was sighted with 20-foot long te (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Skinny on Salt |
| |
| Salt was used long before recorded history began. One of the earliest known writings, the Chinese Png-tzao-kan-mu, mentioned more than 40 types of salt.This work was written over 4700 years ago. Even older settlements have been found around the world with various devices such as pottery used to evaporate water to leave the salt behind. It is speculated by some that major civilizations flourished in arid regions at the edge of vast deserts due to the physiological need for salt.Salt, or sodium chloride, is a chemical compound. Salt occurs naturally in many areas of the world. Salt crystals are cubic in form - if you view salt through a magnifying glass, you will see small “ (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Sugar-Coated Truth |
| |
| It is believed that cane sugar was discovered before the birth of Christ. As early as 500 B.C., India was said to have a “reed which gives honey without bees.” This reed would later become known as sugar cane.The invasion of Arabs into India nearly 1,000 years later in 642 A.D. led to the spread of sugar cane to the rest of the world. The Arabs discovered sugar cane and learned how it was processed by the Indians. They brought the cane with them as they conquered much of Europe, introducing it to lands such as North Africa and Spain. For many years, however, the rest of Europe was stuck with honey, because sugar did not make it to the west until the crusades. The first record o (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Cost Of Being Sick And One Possible Alternative: Glyconutrition |

| A lot of people I’ve talked with about health supplements usually are coming from about the same place - you know: “been there, done that.” People are tired of hearing about the latest and greatest and – for the most part - figure that all supplements are pretty much the same.People also agree that vitamin and mineral supplements might help a little, but that they’re definitely limited like helping someone get over some huge illness like cancer.And actually, up until a few years ago, that was true. People took vitamins and minerals just because that seemed like the thing to do, but no one really saw any of the kind of results that would – you know – be consider (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Monitoring BMI In Children Today Could Lead To Better Health |
| |
| In a new study published by the American Heart Association, it is suggested that infants who gain weight rapidly during their first week may be more likely to have weight problems later in life. This study has led to a recommendation to monitor Body Mass Index (BMI) readings in children in an effort to fight obesity through heightened awareness.According to the American Heart Association, about 15% of children are overweight and obese. This measure is up from 5% in the 1980s. Children measuring in the top 5th percentile of BMI should be considered overweight, however this measure is not necessarily an automatic recommendation for severe diet changes, which may be especially harmful (read full article) |
