I WILL BE ADDING NEW STUFF TO THE STORE AGAIN THIS WEEK SO DON’T FORGET TO LOOK SEE just go to the store above and click
One thing I have noticed in my years as a nurse is that we have became a nation of health fadists many of which are at best silly and result in the companies pushing the fad achieving high sales; to down right dangerous (I think of the micro-biotic diets in the 70’s on which people actually starved)
A few years back I took an Herbal class (http://emilyruff.com/) in which our instructor advised us that Soy was not the cure all that we were being told and that there were several categories of persons that might do better without it. One she mentioned: “… last year’s “lowered sperm count” story (based on a study of the diets of 99 men by the Harvard School of Public Health)” Has been proven so true. On the other hand it has been found to be useful for preventing bowel cancer (Vanderbilt University school of medicine Nashville,Tennessee) and menopause symptoms in women as a replacement for hormones that have lost favor lately due to cancer risks.
“Most of the human studies to date (like the latest bowel cancer study) have involved Asian populations with different lifestyles, diets, genetic make-up and ability to metabolise soy and phytoestrogens (which they traditionally eat in far greater quantities than the average Westerner).” http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/features/soya-good-or-bad-for-you-1678930.html
Another: Gluten is to this decade what carbohydrates were to the last one and fat was to the ’80s and ’90s:…the cause of all that ails you—and the elimination of which can heal you. ..as the Wall Street Journal reports…in a splendid and about-time piece, a whole lot of that is flat-out hooey, a result of trendiness, smart marketing, Internet gossip and too many people who know too little about nutrition saying too many silly things. http://time.com/2912311/eat-more-gluten-the-diet-fad-must-die/
Those are just a few. Stop following fads--research a new food or life style before you consider it and here’s a new idea: Eating a healthy well balanced diet, exercising regularly, and getting a good night sleep. It isn’t popular but it works.
Check your boxes for Ketcham & McDougal thimbles (1900’s) up to $1,000
Here’s one I missed: “the tapeworm diet,...early 20th century… Swallow a bunch of beef tapeworm pills, happily consume excess calories….partially digested by your newfound friend, and then take medicine to rid your guest…FDA intervened, banning this …fad. http://uk.askmen.com/top_10/fitness/top-10-bizarre-health-fads_1.html
Fads are the kiss of death. When the fad goes away, you go with it. Conway Twitty
