<p><em>UPDATE INFO: Please watch the entire NEW VIDEO posted in the left column of this page entitled: DO YOU EAT CHEESE, CHOCOLATE, MEAT, SUGAR? It will open your eyes if you watch it in full.</em></p>
<p><strong>Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr. reports that Olive Oil, in fact, ALL oil can be harmful to your health&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>To his suprise, Dr. Esselstyn discovered that certain foods seemed to prolong life, contribute to complete recovery, and even help restore veins and arteries to normal size. while other foods caused harm, hastening relapse and eventual complete cornary failure. </p>
<p>He was particularly surprised that foods such as avocadoes, any oils and nuts were particularly harmful.</p>
<p>What does this mean to the average individual who may not have coronary heart disease or heart problems? </p>
<p>All one can say is that a large number of physicians are drastically  altering their diets after reviewing Dr. Esselstyn&#8217;s research. Below is a video, while below the video are the doctor&#8217;s dietary recommendations. </p>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/GfBKauKVi4M?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GfBKauKVi4M?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zheiZX0_Z2w?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zheiZX0_Z2w?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>Here are the rules of Dr. Esselstyn&#8217;s program in its simplest form:</p>
<p>    • You may not eat anything with a mother or a face (no meat, poultry, or fish).</p>
<p>    • You cannot eat dairy products. </p>
<p>    • You must not consume oil of any kind—not a drop. (Yes, you devotees of the Mediterranean Diet, that includes olive oil, as I’ll explain in Chapter 10.)</p>
<p>    • Generally, you cannot eat nuts or avocados.</p>
<p>You can eat a wonderful variety of delicious, nutrient-dense foods:</p>
<p>    • All vegetables except avocado. Leafy green vegetables, root vegetables, veggies that are red, green, purple, orange, and yellowand everything in between</p>
<p>    • All legumes—beans, peas, and lentils of all varieties.</p>
<p>    • All whole grains and products, such as bread and pasta, that are made from them—as long as they do not contain added fats.</p>
<p>    • All fruits.</p>
<p>Why? Because it <em>works</em>. </p>
<p>According to Dr. Esselstyn in the first continuous twelve-year study of the effects of nutrition in severely ill patients described in detail in his book, those who complied with his program achieved &#8220;<em>total arrest of clinical progression and significant selective reversal of coronary artery disease</em>.&#8221; </p>
<p>In fully compliant patients, he saw angina disappear in a few weeks and abnormal stress test results return to normal.</p>
<p>Furthermore, people retained health and vigor on a consistent basis with no noticeable causative adverse effects due to lack or meat, oils or fats. </p>
<p>BOOK: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1583333002?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=c0e8-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=1583333002">Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease: The Revolutionary, Scientifically Proven, Nutrition-Based Cure</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=c0e8-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=1583333002" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /></p>
<p>SUMMARY: People do not need extra oils, fats or meat in their diet. </p>

<p><strong>The Following Foods Contain High Levels of MSG Derivatives </strong></p>
<p>Mushrooms, overripe tomatoes, body builder drink powders containing protein, natural flavors, Parmesan, Marmite, gelatin, regular gel caps for medications and supplements, seaweed extract, Kombu extract, malted barley &#038; flour, beet juice extract and some cosmetics and shampoos contain high levels of these excitotoxins in the form of glutamates.</p>
<p>Some organic baby foods (Yo Baby) add beet juice extract, thus adding excitotoxins. </p>
<p>Additionally, white flour and other types of flour are specially processed to increase their glutamic acid level, thus rendering the baked goods &#8220;addictive.&#8221; </p>

<p><strong>Before you have a RFID Chip implanted in your pet</strong>, you may want to reconsider. </p>
<p>Evidence points to cancer concerns with the implantation of this small radio chip under the skin. </p>
<p>In many cases, the cancer tumors metastasized or spread to other parts of the animals. <em>The implants were unequivocally identified as the cause of the cancers.</em></p>
<p><strong>A definitive review</strong> of recent and past research showing a causal link between implanted radio-frequency (RFID) microchip transponders and cancer in animals.</p>
<p><strong>Quote: </strong></p>
<p>&#8220;<em>There&#8217;s no way in the world, having read this information, that I would have one of those chips imlanted in my skin, or in one of my family members. Given the preliminary animals data, it looks to me that there&#8217;s definitely cause for concern</em>.&#8221;</p>
<p>~ Dr. Robert Benezra, Director of the Cancer Biology Genetics Program Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center</p>
<p>~~~ </p>
<p><strong>From Katherine Albrecht&#8217;s Spychips.com Website</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;In almost all cases, the malignant tumors, typically sarcomas, arose at the site of the implants and grew to surround and fully encase the devices. These fast-growing, malignant tumors often led to the death of the afflicted animals.&#8221; </p>
<p>&#8220;The report reviews the relevant research and concludes with a series of recommendations for physicians, policy makers, pet owners, and researchers, including the following:</p>
<p>1) Further microchipping of humans should be immediately discontinued; </p>
<p>(2) Implanted patients should be informed in writing of the research findings and offered a procedure for microchip removal, and (3) Policy makers should reverse all animal microchipping mandates.&#8221;</p>

<p>Although they and their children may seem healthy at the moment, they may experience adverse consequences later in life due to their current dietary habits, although much sooner than they might expect. </p>
<p>Do the powers that be truly wish for a large proportion of the world&#8217;s population to be hugely diminished as &#8220;useless feeders and eaters&#8221; as Ted Turner said and world leaders such as Prince Phillip, supports and encourages. </p>

<p>During the Reagan Administration, the newly appointed Commissioner of the FDA approved Aspartame despite the fact that their own research scientists presented convincing evidence that Aspartame was clearly associated with the increased risk of developing certain types of brain cancers. </p>
<p>Industry funded Aspartame research found little problem with Aspartame, but independently funded researchers found brain cancer links to aspartame in over 83% of their studies. </p>

<p><strong>Due to environmental pollutants, hormones in meat and other products</strong>, pesticides, obesity, plastic contaminants and unfermented genetically modified soy products, it seems that girls are reaching puberty much sooner than in the past.</p>
<p>The percentage has doubled within 10 years, from 1997 to 2005. Girls are beginning their menstrual cycles and experiencing breast changes as early as 7 years of age. </p>
<p>Sperm counts are plummeting and young boys may be experiencing &#8220;feminization&#8221; due to these excess chemicals and hormones found so prevalent in the enviroment and in standard food sources. </p>
<p>The best way to avoid these contaminants is to buy organic fruits and vegetables, eat raw as much as possible, and if you eat meat, avoid conventionally raised meats and instead go with humanely and organically raised farm animal products. </p>
<p>Conventionally raised farm animals and farm raised fish are often fed a slurry of reprocessed waste material from each other. Manure derived protein is one source of &#8220;nutrition&#8221; for such animals. </p>
<p>Animals must be slaughtered at a very young age as they become very ill at increasingly younger ages. </p>
<p>For more information, Dr. Mercola has provided an indepth <a target="_blank" href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/08/26/why-are-more-girls-starting-puberty-early.aspx">article</a>.</p>
<p>From <a target="_blank" href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/08/26/why-are-more-girls-starting-puberty-early.aspx">Dr. Mercola&#8217;s article</a>:</p>
<p>Here are 11 measures you can implement right away to protect yourself and your children from common toxic substances that could cause precocious puberty and long-term health problems:</p>
<p>   1. As much as possible, buy and eat organic produce and free-range, organic meats to reduce your exposure to added hormones, pesticides and fertilizers.</p>
<p>   2. Eat mostly raw, fresh foods. Processed, prepackaged foods (of all kinds) are a major source of soy and chemicals such as BPA and phthalates.</p>
<p>   3. Store your food and beverages in glass rather than plastic, and avoid using plastic wrap and canned foods (which are often lined with BPA-containing liners).</p>
<p>   4. Use glass baby bottles and BPA-free sippy cups for your little ones.</p>
<p>   5. Make sure your baby&#8217;s toys are BPA-free, such as pacifiers, teething rings and anything your child may be prone to suck on.</p>
<p>   6. Only use natural cleaning products in your home to avoid phthalates.</p>
<p>   7. Switch over to natural brands of toiletries such as shampoo, toothpaste, antiperspirants and cosmetics. The Environmental Working Group has a great safety guide to help you find personal care products that are free of phthalates and other potentially dangerous chemicals.</p>
<p>   8. Avoid using artificial air fresheners, dryer sheets, fabric softeners or other synthetic fragrances, many of which can also disrupt your hormone balance.</p>
<p>   9. Replace your Teflon pots and pans with ceramic or glass cookware. Teflon contains PFOA, which has been linked to thyroid disease.</p>
<p>  10. When redoing your home, look for &#8220;green,&#8221; toxin-free alternatives in lieu of regular paint and vinyl floor coverings.</p>
<p>  11. Replace your vinyl shower curtain with one made of fabric.</p>

It&#8217;s highly recommended that High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) be eliminated from the diet.
This particular type of sweetener may be causing irreparable harm to children (and adults) through the over consumption of sodas, &#8220;fruit&#8221; drinks and other hidden food sources.

<p><strong>Mark Bitman</strong><br />
&#8220;In this fiery and funny talk, New York Times food writer Mark Bittman weighs in on what&#8217;s wrong with the way we eat now (too much meat, too few plants; too much fast food, too little home cooking), and why it&#8217;s putting the entire planet at risk.&#8221;<br />

<p><strong>The problem is augmented by the profit motive </strong>of corporations who thrive on the processing and chemicalization of food stuffs.</p>
<p>They are inured to the bottom line &#8211; mainly, profits. Corporations exist strictly to increase their bottom line.</p>
<p><strong>The law recognizes corporations as &#8220;individuals&#8221; and &#8220;persons.&#8221; </strong>Unfortunately, corporations are devoid of conscience, caring, human decency characteristic of &#8220;real&#8221; individuals and persons.</p>
<p><strong>Thus, corporations will do anything</strong> they can within the scope of the law to take healthy food stuffs and maximize it&#8217;s money making potential &#8211; mainly by huge increasing the levels of the cheapest and most addictive ingredients:</p>
<p><strong>Worst Additive Offenders</strong></p>
<p>MSG<br />
Fats<br />
Salt<br />
Sugar<br />
Starch<br />
Chemical Flavorings<br />
Chemical Colorings<br />
GMO Corn Syrup Solids<br />
GMO Corn Sweeteners<br />
GMO Soy Products<br />
GMO Soy Additives</p>
<p>Each of the above is extremely cheap, satisfying and filling, addictive, and/or craving-causative.</p>
<p>The more sugar you add, the more salt you can add without offending the taste buds. Both add considerable weight while being extremely cheap.</p>
<p>Very good for the bottom profit line.</p>
<p>Very BAD for the health of all those who eat these &#8220;foods.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Worst Food Offenders</strong></p>
<p>Fast Food<br />
Processed Food<br />
Boxed Food<br />
&#8220;Instant&#8221; Food<br />
Sweets<br />
Baked Goods<br />
Donuts<br />
Hot Dogs<br />
Hamburgers<br />
French Fries<br />
Processed Pizza (no real cheese)<br />
Sugary milk<br />
Soda<br />
Breakfast boxed, bagged cereals<br />
Chips<br />
Snack Foods<br />
Cookies<br />
Candy</p>
<p>IN a word, Easy foods. Or, Instant foods.</p>
<p><strong>The best foods to eat are:</strong></p>
<p>Fresh vegetables, raw with a simple dressing<br />
Fresh fruits, raw.<br />
Whole grains steamed or sprouted, served raw or with a simple sauce.<br />
Lean natural organic humanely raised meat, small amounts.</p>
<p>Occasional treats are fine, as long as they are &#8220;occasional.&#8221;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s that simple.</p>
