Another interesting article on labor and fat women.



c-sections are not natural and do carry increased complications. They should be avoided whenever possible!

The Well-Rounded Mama: Increase in Cesarean Rate in Morbidly Obese Women Over Time



Way too many c-sections are preformed in all groups, but in fat women more than any other, the rate has skyrocketed! The only reason for this is basic fat-phobia.

Sugar industry's secret documents echo tobacco tactics - Health - CBC News

Sugar industry's secret documents echo tobacco tactics - Health - CBC News



I have said for years (and wrote in my book) that if you are going to use a white powder, sugar is the healthiest.



But that isn't saying much.



Sugar is a poison. The human body reacts to sugar just like it does to other low level poisons.



Just eliminating sugar and all artifical sweetners from your diet will have a tremendous affect on your health. We haven't quite arrived yet, but we are getting there.



My only iffy on white powders is stevia. I have seen videos of moms making a white powder in their own kitchen from dehydrated stevia. That is probably pretty good, relativly speaking, health wise. The straight herb or a tincture or infusion made from teh herb would be better.



Now the white powder stevia you buy in the store, well, just read the label:-(

Nina Teicholz: The Last Anti-Fat Crusaders - WSJ - WSJ

Nina Teicholz: The Last Anti-Fat Crusaders - WSJ - WSJ: A landmark meta-analysis of all the available evidence, conducted this year by scientists at Cambridge and Harvard, among others, and published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, concluded that saturated fats could not, after all, be said to cause heart disease. While saturated fats moderately raise “bad” LDL-cholesterol, this does not apparently lead to adverse health outcomes such as heart attacks and death."



I have advodcated for years to simply return to the diet God created; the one our ancestors ate until the mid 1800's. This means lots of animal fats (that's STEAK, people! plus butter, milk (preferably raw) bacon, etc) and very little processed foods, especially grains.



On a side note, I finally gave in and began soaking our grains/flours before making breads out of them (been reading about it for years, but meh. It's extra work). Articles say all our ancestors soaked their grains and flours in an acid medium before baking. The results?



Our homemade bread products are now fluffier and tastier! (my 19yo informed my 16yo he was not allowed to make pancakes without soaking ever again. Now, the 19yo doesn't have such authority in our house, but I'm afraid we all agreed with him:-D Jon's pancakes were good before. Now they are fantastic!)



And secondly, the acne in the house is disappearing! Oh my goodness! I hadn't even ever read about acne being linked to phyctic acids (what you are neutralizing when you soak your grains in acid), but there is a definite difference! (and with 2 young adults, 3 teenagers, a pre teen and 2 middle-agers who still have to deal with acne (which is just WRONG!), this is a BIG DEAL!)

Vaccines Reduce Newborns’ Disease Immunity: Study | Health Impact News



Aaaand the empire begins to crumble.

Truth is, we have never studied the overall health of unvxed kids vs vaxed kids. If we are going to mess around the immune system, don't you think we should know what we are really doing first?

Judge: Lawsuit Against Merck’s MMR Vaccine Fraud to Continue | Health Impact News

Judge: Lawsuit Against Merck’s MMR Vaccine Fraud to Continue | Health Impact News: Most people in the U.S. do not even realize that U.S. law prevents anyone damaged by vaccines from suing the manufacturer. In 1986, Congress passed a law preventing legal liability to vaccine damages, because the drug companies manufacturing vaccines blackmailed them, by threatening to stop manufacturing vaccines without legal protection. There were so many lawsuits resulting from vaccine injuries and deaths prior to this time, that it was no longer profitable for them to continue marketing vaccines without legal protection. So instead of Congress requiring that drug companies manufacture safer vaccines, they complied with the drug companies’ requests and passed legislation protecting the drug companies."



Always remember how many commercials promote Big Pharm. They own our media.
