Eight Foods You Should Almost Never, Ever Eat
Most soybean, corn, cotton and canola crops in the U.S. are genetically altered. Some experts argue that these crops could pose serious health and environmental risks, but the scientific picture is currently incomplete -- deliberately so.
Medical Drugs and Imaginary Diseases
Mongering is where someone is trying to promote or sell something or some idea. In France it is against the law to promote drugs or medications on TV, radio, in magazines, newspapers or in any other fashion. Only doctors may recommend medications to their patients.
The reason that France has this law becomes very clear when you read this article taken from the BBC NEWS of 11 April 2006:
”Pharmaceutical firms are inventing diseases to sell more drugs, researchers have warned. ‘Disease-mongering’ promotes non-existent diseases and exaggerates mild problems to boost their drug sales, the Public Library of Science Medicine reported.”
“Researchers at Newcastle University in Australia said firms were putting healthy people at risk by making something appear to need medical attention, such as menopause.”
“The researchers criticized attempts to convince the public in the US that 43 percent of women live with sexual dysfunction.”
“They also said that risk factors like high cholesterol and osteoporosis were being presented as diseases, and rare conditions such as ‘restless leg’ and mild problems of ‘irritable bowel syndrome’ were exaggerated.”
“The report said: ‘Disease-mongering’ is the selling of sickness that widens the boundaries of illness and grows the markets for those who sell and deliver treatments.”
“Disease-mongering occurs primarily through pharmaceutical industry-funded ‘disease awareness campaigns’ – which are designed to sell drugs, not to illuminate or to inform or educate about the prevention of illness or the maintenance of health."
“Richard Ley, of the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry, said these activities are centered in the US where the drug industry can widely promote their products to the public.”
As you can see, the old time “snake oil” salesmen have grown up into huge pharmaceutical companies. Today they create “diseases” to convince you that you need to get their drugs to control these imaginary diseases.
Additional Help for Lowering Blood Pressure
Over 60 million people in the US have high blood pressure.
If you or someone you know has high blood pressure, taking vitamin C is a must!
The only way you can acquire the vitamin C you need is through your diet and/or supplementation.
A study done by scientists at the Boston University School of Medicine and the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University, showed that people with high blood pressure had their blood pressure levels fall by an average of 9.1 percent by taking 500 mg of vitamin C each day for a month.
A 10-year study from UCLA showed that in a population of more than 11,000 US adults aged 25-74, men who took 800 mg of vitamin C daily lived about six years longer than men who took only 60 mg of vitamin C daily.
A higher amount of vitamin C intake was likewise associated with greater longevity in women. Higher vitamin C intake reduced cardiovascular deaths by 42 percent in men and 25 percent in women.
Most of the “vitamin C” sold in the US is ascorbic acid. This is a man-made chemical found nowhere in nature.
There is a huge difference between RHP Vitamin C and ascorbic acid. The more ascorbic acid you take, the less your body absorbs.
In contrast, RHP Vitamin C containing 100 percent Vitamin C is a whole food containing no ascorbic acid and the body knows exactly how to absorb and use it.
In fact, 3 RHP Vitamin C tablets contain almost as much whole food vitamin C as a half-gallon of fresh squeezed orange juice!
