QUOTE Salba® is the richest whole food source of Omega 3 fatty acids and fibre found in nature. Every serving (12 grams or approximately 2 flat tablespoons) of Salba® provides over 2,400 mg of Omega 3s, over 4,500 mg of dietary fibre, with less than 0.5 net carbohydrates per serving. Gram for gram, Salba® provides six times more calcium than whole milk, three times more iron than spinach, and fifteen times more magnesium than broccoli. Salba® is all-natural, has no trans-fats, is gluten free, has almost no carbohydrates, and is certified Non-GMO (Genetically Modified Organism). QUOTE Salba® is the only food that holds a medical patent (60-274.256). The patent pertains to Salba’s ability to manage the effects of diabetes and the dietary approaches to such management. It is focused on methods of improving associated metabolic abnormalities, specifically with Salba® , and methods of use in these seeds in lowering blood pressure, blood glucose and post-prandial glycemia. Also it is associated with helping risk factors such as inflammatory factors (hi-C reactive protein), coagulation (fibrinogen, factor VIII, Von Willebrant and fibronolytic factors such as t-PA, iron status and endothelial function. http://www.sourcesalba.com/images/gram-for-gram.jpg Us Canadians can even request a sample: http://www.sourcesalba.com/contact-us-sample.php

Research on bread indicates that:
1. More than 98 percent of convicted felons are bread users. 2. Fully HALF of all children who grow up in bread-consuming households score below average on standardized tests. 3. In the 18th century, when virtually all bread was baked in the home, the average life expectancy was less than 50 years; infant mortality rates were unacceptably high; many women died in childbirth; and diseases such as typhoid, yellow fever, and influenza ravaged whole nations. 4. More than 90 percent of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread. 5. Bread is made from a substance called "dough." It has been proven that as little as one pound of dough can be used to suffocate a mouse. The average American eats more bread than that in one month! 6. Primitive tribal societies that have no bread exhibit a low incidence of cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and osteoporosis. 7. Bread has been proven to be addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water to eat begged for bread after as little as two days. 8. Bread is often a "gateway" food item, leading the user to "harder" items such as butter, jelly, peanut butter, and even cold cuts. 9. Bread has been proven to absorb water. Since the human body is more than 90 percent water, it follows that eating bread could lead to your body being taken over by this absorptive food product, turning you into a soggy, gooey bread-pudding person. 10. Newborn babies can choke on bread. 11. Bread is baked at temperatures as high as 400 degrees Fahrenheit! That kind of heat can kill an adult in less than one minute. 12. Most American bread eaters are utterly unable to distinguish between significant scientific fact and meaningless statistical babbling. In light of these frightening statistics, it has been proposed that the following bread restrictions be made: 1. No sale of bread to minors. 2. A nationwide "Just Say No To Toast" campaign, complete celebrity TV spots and bumper stickers. 3. A 300 percent federal tax on all bread to pay for all the societal ills we might associate with bread. 4. No animal or human images, nor any primary colors (which may appeal to children) may be used to promote bread usage. 5. The establishment of "Bread-free" zones around schools. This article was written by B.S. Wheatberry in a desert after consuming mass quantities of yeast bread then realizing his canteen was empty. (seriously  )

QUOTE Plasma dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate, androstenedione, testosterone (T), dihydrotestosterone (DHT), and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) have been measured in 64 females and 26 males aged less than 25 years and with acne vulgaris. Oestradiol was measured in the males. Free T and free DHT were calculated. Acne was graded on three sites and the sebum excretion rate (SER) was measured in most patients. With the possible exception of free DHT, none of the plasma steroids or SHBG correlated with acne severity or with SER. Free DHT in the females showed a possible, but weak, correlation with total acne (r=0.25, P=0.07), but comparison with male data showed that this was not causative. The role of androgens in acne is permissive and plasma androgen measurements usually have no place in its management. http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/abs/1....1989.tb01351.x

QUOTE Antioxidant vitamins are bad for your health Yesterday, I wrote about research that debunked the notion that garlic supplements could lower LDL cholesterol. Today it's more bad news for the supplement industry with a report of a meta-analysis study that examines the effects of antioxidants on mortality. A range of different vitamins and minerals have been identified as having antioxidant properties, including vitamins A and C, beta carotene and selenium. Although a well-balanced diet with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables contains ample amounts of these antioxidants, an army of talking heads and 'experts' make their living by promoting the use of supplementary antioxidants at ever-increasing doses as cure-alls against cancer, aging, and any number of other ailments. Even Linus Pauling, noted Nobel Laureate, spent the latter years of his career claiming that vitamin C was a panacea for just about every complaint he could think of. However, a new meta-analysis of existing studies published in JAMA regarding the use of antioxidant supplements shows that far from prolonging longevity, beta carotene, vitamin A, and vitamin E usage were associated with increased mortality. Dr Bjelakovic and his team at Copenhagen University Hospital identified 68 different trials, encompassing 232,606 patients in total. These were sorted into high-bias risk and low-bias risk, based on the quality of the methods employed. When all of these trials were pooled there was no significant finding, but when the 47 low-bias trials were examined, there was a five percent increased risk of mortality. Individually, beta carotene increased risk of mortality by seven percent, vitamin A increased risk of mortality by 16 percent, and vitamin E increased risk of mortality by four percent. Although this is contrary to common sense, the authors suggest a reason for this finding. Although antioxidant production is associated with a number of diseases, many physiologic processes also involve free radical generation. They propose that "eliminating free radicals from our organism, we interfere with some essential defensive mechanisms like apoptosis, phagocytosis, and detoxification." As ever, the best advice would seem to be to make sure you get those five portions of fresh fruit and vegetables a day, and lay off the pills. http://arstechnica.com/journals/science.ars/2007/2/27/7251 *gulp* |
