What if I told you that aging, heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Type II diabetes, cataracts and arthritis are all caused or worsened by the same health-wrecking "monster?" This creature is inside all of us, and it isn't always a bad guy...but when it's allowed to get out of control for a long enough period of time it will unleash its wrath. Then your health can begin to crumble and/or you start...

Stop using artificial sweeteners! Here’s why.
If you’ve been a reader of mine for a while, you probably know where I stand on the topic of artificial sweeteners. In case you’re not sure, let me clarify: They are POISON. And the fact that they have been so widely used for decades proves once again that advertising works. In this case, these toxic powders have been positioned as a dieter’s dream, even though they are associated with weight GAIN—not loss! They’ve...
