This bad advice is still being parroted by health experts
I recently saw an article on Facebook that talked about harmful foods that people should avoid. Of course that caught my attention, and I wanted to see what this doctor saw as “harmful” and why, so I read on. I agreed with the first few items—soda, processed foods and artificial sweeteners.

Does this sound like you? If so, please listen up.
I’ve been in the health and nutrition field for three decades, so as you can probably surmise, I’ve pretty much heard it all.

You can’t live without it—how is yours doing?
Nothing in our bodies is there by accident, and each and every cell, tissue and organ serves a valid purpose as designed by our Creator. While it’s hard to say that a certain organ is more important than another, one organ that puts in a valiant effort 24/7 to keep you above the ground and healthy is your liver! The liver deserves special mention because of its incredibly wide range and number of functions...
