Vignettes to make Life a Little Better and More Prosperous

With all the confusion in the media regarding supplements, losing weight, and eating correctly – WHAT is a person to do?

The first thing to discuss is the recently released study about vitamins and extending or shortening of life. The latest news media reports recently released, concluded vitamins do not extend life and may shorten life.

Unfortunately, a couple of important details were left out. The people in the study were all elderly and almost all had diseases – cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. THIS IS KIND OF IMPORTANT!

The second important detail was that all the vitamins were chemicals – made in a factory. Despite chemical company’s propaganda, chemical vitamins don’t work and your body can tell the difference. For years these same companies have argued that plants can’t tell the difference from natural healthy soil and chemical fertilizers.

This is another example of “You can’t trust the media for the truth.”

How about the weight loss advertisements on television? We have seen tons of commercials on TV and other media about losing weight. There are “movie stars” and “ordinary people” advertising in the info commercials and the featured products are guaranteed to shed pounds.

Before buying these weight loss programs, you had better check them out because they are loaded with chemicals. If you try to read the labels and you can’t spell or pronounce the words you had better stay away from them. Most of these chemicals will probably keep your body from decomposing if you were to die.

Remember that 97 % of the time – DIETS DON’T WORK. Save your money, detoxify, and change your life style if you want to be healthier and let the slimmer you out of the confinements of being overweight.

Eating correctly is almost impossible if you listen to the media. Just this week, one of the major grocery store chains in Dallas- Fort Worth has been advertising they have frozen food and it is just as healthy as fresh foods. We all know that we have to preserve foods but do they really think we are so ignorant that we will believe frozen foods are just as healthy as fresh foods? I think not!

I come back to the original question – What is a person to do?

This may seem silly or “I already thought of this” but I have the answer to all our health problems and healthy food eating – If it is on TV, radio, and newspapers DON’T BUY IT!

At first you might think that I am nuts, but hear me out. Why are products advertised in the media – TO MAKE MONEY – DAH!

If you can advertise on TV, then the product must be making money or the company couldn’t afford the commercial. Most of the foods, diets, etc in the media are junk foods that have no nutrition and are loaded with chemicals. Most have spices (50% MSG), hydrolyzed vegetable protein (made differently but essentially MSG), natural flavorings (50% MSG), and yeast extract (50% MSG). In other words if these chemicals – flavor enhancers – were not present, the product would taste worse than grass.

In other words, the more things that are advertised to make money - then the poorer the ingredients. Look at soft drinks – they are loaded with corn syrup (worse than sugar and a product of genetic engineering + herbicides and pesticides), phosphoric acid and other chemicals. There is not one good thing about soft drinks. They lower your immune system and allow you to get more colds.

Hear is the kicker about soft drinks, they cost less than 5 cents for one small cup of the drink, but is sold for 75 cents or more. Do you see the profit and how it can pay billions of dollars in advertising expenses and still make millions of dollars in profits?

How many ads do you see for apples? None! The reason is that there are not millions of dollars of “hidden” profits.

Another thought on this topic is shopping in grocery stores. Most people don’t realize that companies pay for shelf space in grocery stores. The profits have to be high to pay for space and still make money to pay for media advertising and still make exorbitant profits to satisfy the stock holders. These more expensive foods (higher profit) are always at eye level and since most shoppers are women, these “edible things” – meaning not nutritious – are about 52 to 54 inches above the floor.

Stores put less profitable – hence sometime more nutritious – items on the top and/or the bottom shelves.

What is the take home from this E-Zine or how do you eat and live healthier because of this information?

The most advertised products concerning food have the least nutrition and the most profits.

DON’T BUY “FOOD” ADVERTISED ON TV, RADIO, NEWSPAPER OR THAT IS EYE LEVEL ON YOUR GROCERY STORE SHELVES. With this one little tip you will be on your way to being healthier and less risk of being over weight.
