Segment 1 - Coffee News
Can coffee prevent cancer?
|
- In
2005, Tohoku University (Japan) combined data from two large studies
that assessed coffee consumption in more than 60,000 subjects.
- Occasional
coffee drinkers had 30% lower risk of liver cancer compared to those
who didn't drink coffee
- Risk
was even lower for those who drank coffee daily
- Confirms
results of another Japanese study that found regular coffee consumption
to be linked with a significantly reduced risk of developing a type
of liver cancer known as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
- Reported
in the International Journal of Cancer, when the Tohoku team singled
out subjects who had a history of liver disease, they found a clear
link between coffee intake and a lowered risk of liver cancer
- Researchers
called for further studies to examine the role that coffee might play
in the prevention of liver cancer among high-risk patients

Bottom Line
Segment
2 - Debunking the Myth - Diet Soda
Is diet soda healthier than regular soda?
|
- In
the 1960's "diet soda" arrived on the scene.
- Sweeteners
like saccharin, lab created chemical sweeteners that took the place
of high fructose corn syrup. It was a Nirvana for those cutting back
their sugar intake (weight issues, type II diabetes)
- To
good to be true because later, lab tests showed saccharin to cause
cancer and birth defectsâ¦back to high fructose corn syrup.
- Other sweeteners like cyclamates were introduced but sadly had the same cycle,
from panacea to serious illness, cyclamates were pulled off the shelf.
|
- 1980âs: Aspartame. Public was guarded but eager to embrace help with the epidemic
of soda pop addiction.
- Aspartame was more widely accepted because it was "partly natural". An amino acid was bound with a chemical, and a sweetener was on the scene to
save the day.
- Tests now show aspartame is not only dangerous, causing anything from chronic
headache pain to brain clusters and the like but also shown to INCREASE your
appetite and INCREASE your cravings for additional sweets, so instead of
being a weight loss product, is has the potential to "PUMP YOU UPâ (Not good.)
- Earlier studies link aspartame to brain tumors and cancers like leukemia and
lymphoma in laboratory animals. But I've also cited research linking it to
obesity, the very thing it's marketed as a drinkable panacea against!
Bottom Line
- Stay away from Aspartame. Regular soda may actually be better for
you than diet soda but that isn't saying much. If you drink regular soda,
do so very moderately.

Segment 4 - Hot Dogs
"HOT DOG!" I can eat Hot Dogs
|
- Gearing
towards a "quick and inexpensive meal", chemicals were added to hot dogs to make them cheaper, better to look at; more
perfect in texture and, have a MUCH longer shelf life. The "bad" changes were:
- All
parts of the cow were known to be used, including ears, lips, tongues
and well, I think you get it
- Sulfates,
sulfites, nitrates and nitrites added for taste, stability, color,
and even for things like being able to hold water, so food processors
can "pump" the dog up with some real inexpensive...water...
- The
animals the hotdog's were made from were also give more drugs and chemicals
to make them fatter (and with more money), quicker, and, of course
cheaper to feed
- This
all resulted in dramatic negative health consequences, so the very
word "hot dog" received a bad name, and today, I am here to clear that name. Why I LOVE hot
dogs, and there is a way to buy them, nourishing, filling and tasty
|
- HOW TO BUY HOT-DOGS:
- Many grocery stores have a whole food section now. Look for hot dogs there
- Make sure they have no nitrates, nitrites, sulfates or sulfites
- Make sure they have no artificial flavors
- Try Hot dog's that are made from chickens, turkeys or cows, that were raised
free range, and given no hormones, pesticides, or antibiotics
Bottom
Line
- Do these "healthy" hot dogs cost more? A little, but
much less expensive than heart surgery or chemotherapy.
Segment 5 - Healthy Habit - Water: First Thing
|
- First
thing one should do in the morning is drink 10-12 ounces of pure water
- When
we awake, our cells are dry from 8-10 hours of no moisture. Keep your
cells lubricated and moving
- Also,
our stomach and small intestine is empty, and is a great time to flush
out all the matter that is stuck to the linings of these several feet
of intestine, cleaning the area and getting it ready to ABSORB NUTRIENTS
- It
will also help keep you very regular
