| Article Title :: A Background to Dietary Fiber |
| |
| Fiber is the part of the plant that is resistant to hydrolysis (A
chemical decomposition in which a substance is split into
simpler compounds by the addition or the taking up of the
elements of water) by human digestive enzymes and, with
the exception of lignin, fibers are complex carbohydrates.
These include pectin, gums, mucilages, hemicellulose,

are sticky and combine with water to form gel-like
substances. Pectin is a water-soluble fiber found in soft
fruits and vegetables. Gums that are com (read full article) |

| Article Title :: The Toxic Truth About Artificial Sweeteners |
| |
| The problem with sugar is that it doesn’t contain any nutrients so when you consume too much you crowd out room for healthier foods. In fact, it is estimated that on average, Americans consume over 200 pounds of refined sugar annually. On the other side of the coin you have artificial sweeteners which are getting more negative press as adverse health effects begin to emerge.What’s the big deal? Well, decades ago it was found that some artificial sweeteners may cause cancer and were taken out of products and off the shelves. Next, enter the next latest and greatest. The FDA said it was the recommended alternative and put it in all sugar free products. It wasn’t very long (read full article) |

| Article Title :: You Are What You Eat? |
| |
| Your magnificent machine is, in fact, a symbiotic collection of diverse, yet related sub-systems, coordinated and operated by a three pound mass of wrinkled gray matter known as your brain. Yes, our bodies are a true miracle, a wonder to behold. Every minute chemical change in one body system can adversely effect or benefit any or every other system. A small electro-chemical imbalance in our brain, our control system, can mean a near shutdown of our entire body. Precision balance is the standard mode of operation.Why such a technical description of the human body? Simple; just like a finely tuned piece of electro-mechanical machinery, our bodies are sensitive to changes in inputs (read full article) |
