Monsanto GM Crops now considered for use by Whole Foods

I am appalled at the recent news that companies like Whole Foods have sold out to Monsanto on the approval of using GM crops in their products. I wonder how much they and other retailers we paid to allow such a travesty?

You can’t rely on rice, beans and freeze dried foods for emergency food storage

We live in a culture filled with disasters, both natural and man made. It is wise to have an emergency food supply to sustain your family for at least 90 days.

There are many companies taking advantage of not only prudent survival steps but also the fears many people have of a coming global apocalypse.

It is good to have buckets of beans and rice along with seeds and a good water supply. But there are companies selling freeze dried meals AS IF these e foods are the Savior of any future catastrophic event. They are also going as far as to proclaim these same families should eat this food on a daily basis.

I have two issues. The amount of sodium in these pre-packaged freeze dried meals and the very fact they are freeze dried.

You do know you are not supposed to overcook your veggies because you will kill the enzymes? In fact the kill point is 117 degrees Fahrenheit after the minutes.

Freeze drying is a heat process. The product may start out as frozen, but it is then placed in a vacuum chamber for three days and hit with an average temp of 135 degrees to get the water particles to change from ice to a vapor.

Let’s see…117 for three minutes kills enzymesand freeze drying is 135 for three days. Do the math.

In any emergency food storage plan, you must find a way of being able to supply your body with nutrients from live whole foods or you will get scurvy or become unhealthy from malnutrition.

I have found Nuriche Live to be the best source of fruits and veggies for emergency food storage. The powder was created under the enzymatic kill point and has a 2 year shelf life.

I am sure this all makes sense, but if you choose to stock the ready to eat, freeze dried, enzymatically dead an SODIUM rich meals, please also make sure you are within close proximity of a heart surgeon.

Report Showing Vitamin C Can Cure Dementia, but Vitamin C From Juice is Questionable

On August 19th, the Daily Express Reporter from the UK published an article on the merits of vitamin c intake to possibly be a cure for dementia. While yes, we know the great benefits of vitamin C for overall great health and claims of healing disease, my editorial on this story has to do with the delivery system being suggested in this news article.

The researcher interviewed and Lund University in Sweden made the following statement, “Ms Mani added that while vitamin C is in fresh fruit it can be absorbed in larger quantities from fruit juice.”

This statement is not entirely accurate.

Unless you are drinking fresh squeezed orange juice, you are most likely drinking orange juice you purchased in a store, which means it has been pasteurized. Pasteurization of course, is a heat process used to kill the microorganisms and bacteria. The temperature can range from just below boiling to over 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Set that aside for a moment.

You have been told not to cook your veggies for too long because you will kill the enzymes. Specifically if you cook your veggies or fruits at 117 degrees Fahrenheit for more then three minutes you have started killing off the most important element of the fruit or veggie, the enzymes. When you compare the enzymatic kill temp with the temperatures used in pasteurizing, the math equals “Dead Juice”.

Now, when you read the label on the bottle of orange juice, you will see a listed amount of vitamin C. The problem is, while we know oranges contain vitamin C, the amount of vitamin C will vary by +/- 20% depending on many factors from the weather to other crop related issues. When you are making a statement of a certain vitamin content on a juice label, you have to prove to the FDA the content you have listed on the label. This is done by adding vitamin C in the form of ascorbic acid which just does not absorb into the body properly. It’s a shell game to sell orange juice.

Oh, and if you are drinking juice from concentrate, that has been cooked as well to reduce the water content of the juice to make it cheaper to ship. 80% of the water is cooked off, at a temp above the enzymatic kill point. The concentrate is then frozen and either distributed in stores as frozen OJ or is shipped in bulk to bottling facilities around the world. Bulk concentrate is reconstituted with filtered tap water, synthetic vitamins are added with preservatives, and then the juice is heat pasteurized before bottling. Juice from concentrate has been cooked twice.

Your best delivery system for vitamin c is to eatfruits and veggies known for vitamin c and juice yourself, providing the produce you are purchasing at the store was not picked before it was ripe and enzymaticly  mature, or treated with ethylene gas. Organic is usually the way to go. All of this can be pricy though.

For me, the best realistic delivery system is from reconstituted powders made with the Nuriche Instafresh Process which removes 95% of the water, leaving 98% of the enzymes and naturally occurring vitamins intact.

This can be found with Nuriche Live. If you would like to learn more, please contact me and I will send you my weekly webinar schedule.

On a side note, if you live in a city that has a Fresh & Easy Supermarket, they have fresh squeezed orange juice and cold pressed apple juice. They are unadulterated and amazing.

Natural vs Synthetic Vitamins

Your body was designed to get vitamins, mineral, antioxidants and thousands of naturally occurring phytonutrients from live, whole foods, not from isolated synthetic vitamins, inorganic minerals, processed food or junk food.

The problem is, most people don’t eat right so they try to make up for the lack of good nutrients by taking synthetic vitamins.

But relying on synthetic vitamins for real nutrition is like trying to use diesel fuel for a regular car. It’s not built to work that way.

Synthetic vitamins are not recognized by your body the same way natural occurring vitamins in whole foods are.

For example, synthetic vitamins are made from substances unnatural to your body, such as petroleum, coal, tar, acetone, formaldehyde and ammonia.

What’s more, the minerals in many vitamin supplements are “inorganic”- basically crushed up rocks. But your body was designed to get minerals from “organic” sources such as plants and live whole foods.

It’s a fact: Your body does NOT recognize the actual chemical make-up of isolated synthetic vitamins or inorganic minerals in the same way it recognizes the natural nutrients found in fresh, live whole foods.

So if you’re depending on synthetic vitamins for nutrition, you’ll likely be disappointed.

Why are live, whole foods a better source of vitamins that synthetic supplements?

Let me answer this important question by telling you what researchers at Cornell University discovered when they compared the antioxidant value of an apple with a vitamin C supplement.

The apple contained vitamin C but it also contained many healthy, naturally-occurring substances, including antioxidants such as flavanoids and polyphenols to name a few.

Remarkably, eating a small apple gave an antioxidant effect equivalent to 1,500 mg of vitamin C. In other words, you’d have to take a mega dose of vitamin C to get the same antioxidant effect of eating one small apple.

Sarah Schenker, a dietician and spokesperson for the British Nutrition Foundation said it best: “Although some groups of populations do require vitamins and supplements, a healthy diet is the best way to obtain the vitamins we need.”

She adds: “These foods contain far more than the classic vitamins and minerals we know about…they contain many other plant substances, known as phytochemicals, which can’t be put in a bottle or made into a pill.

The point is, live whole foods-like those found in Nuriche-contain vitamins and a matrix of other beneficial substances that work with each other to give you more nutrition than synthetic vitamins.

Foods better than a vitamin pill? You bet! How about greater antioxidant protection? In another study reported by Nature.com, new research suggests you can get greater antioxidant protection from oranges than you can from a vitamin C supplement.

As you may know, fruits rich in powerful antioxidants can nutritionally support cellular DNA.

In this study, subjects were given a glass of orange juice…an equal amount of vitamin C-fortified water…or sugar water containing no vitamin C.

As expected, blood plasma levels of vitamin C rose in those subjects drinking the orange juice and vitamin C-fortified water.

But when their blood samples were exposed to hydrogen peroxide, those who drank the orange juice had significantly greater protection. Those who drank the orange juice had more antioxidant protection!

In addition, The British Medical Journal compared the nutritional value of folic acid in vegetables vs. the kind found in supplements.

The results? They reported that this folic acid is best obtained through fresh, organic whole vegetables. What’s more, they also report that the form of folic acid found in supplements and fortified foods is pteroylmonglutamate (PGA)-a form that does NOT occur in nature. The study warns that no one knows the consequence of taking high doses of this cheap synthetic form of folic acid.

Solid findings, right? Now imagine…getting thousands of naturally-occuring compounds of live, whole foods in Nuriche Live and Revive each day.

It’s a fact that the most nutritionally dense foods are fruits, berries, greens, vegetables, nuts, seeds and sprouts.

By eating these foods, you’ll experience a variety of nutritional benefits that go beyond basic nutrition.

But now imagine getting more than 70-plus fresh, organic and naturally grown whole foods, together, in the best form: bioavailable and easily absorbed by your body.

You won’t just get single isolated nutrients found in so many supplements-every scoop (or packet) of The Feast gives you thousands of naturally occurring nutritional compounds from fresh whole food concentrates.

Nuriche Live provides a vast array of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, enzymes, minerals, probiotics and more-all working together synergistically to give you REAL whole food-based nutrition.

Imagine all these live, freshly harvested whole foods specially processed to give you everything you need for optimum assimilation and maximum effectiveness. All in a delicious, great tasting, easy to prepare drink with the quantity, quality, variety, integrity and value of whole food-based nutrition you’ll love!

This is what you’ll experience only with Nuriche LiveTRIM. And now you know why I say Nuriche Live is the next best thing to you getting 5-9 servings of organic and naturally grown fruits and vegetables every day.

But the news is even better, as you’re about to see…
