I have been struggling with my personal kryptonite - chocolate chips. During the day I do good, but evenings at home have brought out this villain. I'm going to use this as my wake up call to eat better (for me the hardest part of living a fit lifestyle). Thank you! Well, this is just what I needed to read Doc!

When i was growing up, we used to have the Indian equivalent, viz. Vanaspati or Dalda. No one really uses that any more though, thankfully. Good post there about our daily villains.

I grew up on it. I stopped that stuff when I was 18. Maybe that's why I get carded a lot. Anyhow I guess I'll have to stop the aspartame. I went through diabetes during my pregnancy and I'm a sugar fiend any suggestions? I need my one cup of coffe w/ loads of sweet stuff cause I hate the way it tastes. My cereal has to be sweet too because I don't buy Captain Crunch or whatever. I don’t eat butter or margarine nor do my kids. I grew up on it. I stopped that stuff when I was 18.

Look for one that is full of Omega 3's to get the most bang for your buck! Justin- well I am sure you won’t starve to death for long my friend ;)

Thanks so much for sharing that...it just proves my point that sugar and toxins suppress the immune system. There is tons of research out there now supporting it and i can't tell you how many countless patients I 'heal' from just getting junk out of their diet. Our cell mediated immunity, which is the first line of defense in our immune system is suppressed by toxins. As our environment becomes more toxic, more and more people are having immune system dysfunction and other strange diseases. Autoimmunity is huge right now and in my mind has to be attributed to a great deal of "junk" to put it politely. LOL- I hope this isn't total American "conspiracy theory" because I don't want to hire a body guard now after posting this. But you just proved my opinion on American food. It does taste more "processed" and it has loads of hidden sugars in it that people just don't need. Americans are addicted to the sweet flavor and nothing else. We need balance. We need all five flavors according to Chinese medicine. Thanks for your great comments. Tim- Wow that is an amazing story!

Palpitations can be improved by decreasing caffeine and increasing magnesium. Refined foods and food additives deplete magnesium from the body as magnesium is needed by the liver to process those things and get them out. Yes, that is exactly it! People just need to eat like the good old days. Bake a chicken, steam some veggies and you are good to go. Now I am not that mean of a lady, I think that a little bit of chocolate and ice cream is good for the soul from time to time. Just buy the good stuff! Barbara- that is very interesting.

Sometimes it takes a while for a doctor to be able to figure something out like that, especially since many patients know better than to report their diet soda use to their naturopath. I have seen some terrible cases of head to toe eczema clear up just from eliminating aspartame. Thanks so much for stopping by! Mtnbarbie- you are lucky to pick that up on your own.

I got 3 in a year when I moved here and also put on 6lbs. The weird thing was we were tasting sugar (or aspartame) in everything we ate. Even the bread tasted sweeter than in the UK and almost everything tasted more processed, if indeed that is a taste ;-) I knew salmon was much better wild but THAT much better? I had no idea! We also eat Olivio thinking it's healthier than butter and non-fat creamer because it's better than milk. Well that looks wrong too. I'm looking at the ingredients and see all the crap that they put in something as basic as a coffee creamer. Is there a conspiracy with the food manufacturers to kill the nation in as horrible a manner as possible? Thanks for the advice because I would be mad as hell if I died from ignorance.
