There seems to be a narrowing gap between studies about diet, nutrition, and health. And each starts another conversation about trans versus saturated versus polyunsaturated fats, or this diet versus that, or as is today’s case, fats versus carbohydrates. In a paper published Aug. 13 in the journal Cell Metabolism, researchers found that when 30 percent of a…
The Mushroom Is Becoming a Nutritional Star
Mushrooms are often considered only for their culinary use because they are packed with flavor-enhancers and have gourmet appeal. That is probably why they are the second most popular pizza topping, next to pepperoni. In the past, food scientists like me often praised mushrooms as healthy because of what they don’t contribute to the diet;…
13 Recipes to Help Reduce Stress
At some point or other, I think we’ve all had that feeling of overwhelming stress – the one where your heart is pounding too fast too much, you can’t seem to think straight or breathe properly, and frankly, you just look knackered. But guys, chill. It’s been proven that stress and nutrition basically go hand in hand….
Eat This Special Fiber for Good Gut Health
Most everybody knows about probiotics. These are foods and supplements that help strengthen the immune system, and improve digestion. A lesser known trend in the world of gut health is called prebiotics. Both prebiotics and probiotics contribute to the health of our microbiome—a name for the diverse bacterial colony that lives inside each of us. The…
How Conventional Medical Germophobia Ruins Health
By Joel Edwards, Organic Lifestyle Magazine For thousands of years, people thought disease was divine punishment for their sins. Eventually, the Egyptians and Hebrews noticed that contact with lepers could transmit leprosy, but even after this realization, knowledge of how people get sick progressed very slowly. Greeks and Indians learned to treat wounds with moldy bread,…
Can Men Really Get Pregnant?
I was recently asked by a good friend and well known, respected national columnist to explain what would happen if men could really get pregnant. My first response was that women are much stronger than men, and none of us would be here if men were the ones getting pregnant. However, he persisted and wanted…
A Doctor’s Perspective: Can Men Actually Get Pregnant?
I was recently asked by a good friend and well known, respected national columnist to explain what would happen if men could really get pregnant. He wanted a real medical explanation. When I started thinking about it more, I was reminded of the 1994 movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito called “Junior.” In this…
Contagious Vaccines: A Warning
Commentary For two decades scientists have been quietly developing self-spreading contagious vaccines. The NIH funded this research, in which either DNA from a deadly pathogen is packaged in a contagious but less harmful virus, or the deadly virus’s lethality is weakened by engineering it in a lab. The resultant “vaccines” spread from one person to the…
High Omega-3 DHA Level Linked With 49 Percent Lower Risk of Alzheimer’s Disease
Findings from a study by the Fatty Acid Research Institute suggest that people with high levels of omega-3 docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) have half the risk—49 percent—of developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The study found that high levels of DHA are correlated with an extra 4.7 years of being Alzheimer’s-free and an extra 4 years free of…
Are Medical Mistakes the Leading Cause of Death in the US?
This happens to the tune of about 40,000 events every single day, with approximately 250,000 lives lost each year (about 1 in 10 patients), making it the third leading cause of death in the US. Worse, you don’t even need to be sick or do anything wrong to become a victim of this astonishing trend….
