Double acting way to fatloss.....

Today's post:  Thursday, 10-26-2017

When you have grown up eating some foods that are now known to make you fat and sick; but weren’t known to then, it can be hard to give them up.

True!

And, since they are not yet banned from stores but still sold in almost all of them, it’s harder yet.

But suppose they are now all loaded with a slow acting poison that boosts their fattening effect.

That would mean that if you want to avoid being fatter or to lose fat you keep off, you’d have a powerful extra reason to eat better foods instead.

It means it would be much more important to do as well.

Knowing this could certainly make it easier to motivate yourself to boycott these foods and only eat foods without these very undesirable effects.

Would it help you?

If so this post is for you.

This exact situation is quite real.  There IS a slow poison that tends to make people fat and some other slow poisons that are almost always used with it that also speeds aging and reduces your metabolism to make it even more fattening to consume!

AND, it tends to be in the foods that are most fattening on their own besides!

First check this out!

A.  Some of many reasons to avoid glyphosate and Roundup as close to 100% as you can:

 From: Health Sciences Institute HSIresearch@newmarkethealth.com

"If you need any reminders of how this is taking the glyphosate scam too far and why you don't want the stuff anywhere near your family, the World Health Organization announced two years ago that the substance can probably cause cancer.

Research has also found that it interferes with the beneficial bacteria in the GI tract, which can result in depleted essential amino acids and kidney and liver damage.

The chemical has also been found to be a contributing factor in obesity, depression, autism, inflammatory bowel disease, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's.”

[Glyphosate, in short, has been found to make you fatter on the same calorie intake.  And, if it makes you depressed you’ll find it harder to make eating upgrades and exercise to make that effect worse!]

“So, starting right now, incorporate these three tips into your shopping routine to reduce your exposure as much as possible:

So, starting right now, incorporate these three tips into your shopping routine to reduce your exposure as much as possible:

#1: Steer clear of the big four GM crops, unless they're organic or labeled as being certified GM free: corn, soy, canola, and sugar made from sugar beets.”

[This is yet another reason to eat far less real sugar since most of it is from GM sugar beets. 

And, those foods and their oils and the fat from animals fed these grains boost your chronic inflammation which tends to make you have aches & pains and be more irritable. 

Besides being a known cause of heart disease and Alzheimer’s disease and some cancers, high chronic inflammation also tends to boost obesity.  And this goes double for women just starting menopause.

That means that stopping or almost eliminating these foods and oils in what you eat IS a double acting way to fatloss!]

#2: Buy organic oranges and slice them into quarters instead of drinking juice -- because a just-released study spearheaded by the group Moms Across America has discovered levels of glyphosate in every single sample of orange juice that was tested (including brands like Minute Maid, Tropicana, and private label ones sold at Costco and Vons). Plus that, eating whole fruits is much healthier, as you're also getting the fiber that can help counteract the high sugar content. 

#3: Try to fit as much organically grown food into your diet as you can. We're learning about more and more uses of glyphosate in non-GM foods every day -- for example, it's now reportedly being used on fields before seeds are even planted.

Obviously, it's now become impossible to keep glyphosate out of your diet altogether. But you've got to do everything possible to lower the levels of this chemical your family consumes."

B. More on why glyphosate and Roundup are harmful and what to do to avoid more of them:

"Glyphosate: Why Eating Organic Really Does Matter  By: DAVE ASPREY

Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide in the world.[1] It’s the active ingredient in Roundup, the star product of agrochemical giant Monsanto.

Glyphosate tends to divide people. Some say it’s entirely safe, while others swear it’s a deadly toxin. Both sides of the aisle get heated about glyphosate; the result is a tangled web of science and politics that can be messy to navigate.

Here’s the Bulletproof perspective on glyphosate and going organic. The short version of this article is that the Bulletproof Diet recommends all organic food. Why?

To support sustainable farming practices. Sustainable farming practices keep small farmers happy and toxic chemicals out of our soil and water. A diverse crop rotation is more like what nature intended and also

To help build better soil. The soil is made up of trillions of living organisms – or at least it should be. Glyphosate is unquestionably toxic for soil bacteria, killing beneficial bacteria and bugs that help your food grow. Organic food is glyphosate-free and supports healthy soil way more than conventionally-grown food.

Bottom line: If you want to live at full power, keep glyphosate away from your skin, your food, and your soil. Read on for a more in-depth breakdown.

The many dangers of Roundup

In May of 2015, the World Health Organization (WHO) classified glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic to humans.” They based that classification largely on animal studies that showed that glyphosate caused tumor growth or higher incidence of cancer.

They also talked about conflicting human evidence: one large-scale study found that glyphosate increases risk of cancer, while another similar study found it doesn’t.[2][3]

The WHO investigation also found that glyphosate is probably genotoxic (it causes mutations in DNA) and increases oxidative stress, which triggers inflammation and speeds up aging.

Monsanto (the biggest manufacturer of glyphosate in the world) claimed that the WHO cherry-picked research, ignoring at least a dozen studies showing glyphosate to be non-genotoxic and not carcinogenic…but it came out that all of those studies were funded by either Monsanto or another company in the chemical business.[4]

Glyphosate also mimics estrogen, which could explain why it causes human breast cancer cells to grow in vitro.[5]

Then there’s glyphosate vs. Roundup. Glyphosate was not directly toxic to mitochondria in a study, but Roundup was.[6][7]”  

[Damage to your mitochondria is VERY undesirable because it speeds up aging and makes people slow down more when older; it causes type 2 diabetes, and it reduces your metabolism and contributes to fat gain on the same food intake!]

“And while glyphosate alone is toxic to human placental cells, Roundup does significantly more damage to them.[8]

That begs a good question: all these studies are looking at glyphosate in isolation, but the vast majority of herbicide-treated crops are sprayed with Roundup. What else is in Roundup that hasn’t been studied?

Leaked emails and dirty politics

At least two other compounds in Roundup – nitrosoglyphosate (NNG) and 1,4-dioxane – are probable carcinogens.[9] 

It appears that Monsanto knew these are toxic and tried to hide their toxicity from the EPA.[10] It came out when the company was sued and had to produce internal emails in court..."

"Does going organic make a difference?

It does. Glyphosate accumulates in sprayed food. Organic food, on the other hand, cannot be sprayed with glyphosate/Roundup, and people on an organic diet have significantly lower glyphosate residue in their systems. 

[I added this underlining!  If you possibly can, only buy organic foods.  And take steps to minimize the foods you eat that are not organic or might contain glyphosate or Roundup.]

Same with cows who don’t eat GMO feed, which is another reason to eat organic, grass-fed meat.[11]  

This is especially important when it comes to protein. The “gly” in glyphosate stands for glycine, the amino acid that makes up your collagen and skin.

Glyphosate gets used to make collagen in animals and people for this reason, meaning that when you eat non-organic meat, especially bone broth or collagen powder, you’re getting whatever dose of glyphosate was incorporated into the animal.

Stick to meat and collagen from 100% grass-fed cows – no glyphosate-soaked grain in their food supply."  

[I added the bolding here. It certainly suggests that making bone broth should only be done with bones from cows fed a 100% grass fed diet.  Mercifully Whole Foods has been selling beef bones from cows fed a 100% grass fed diet.  

Bulletproof sells collagen products also from cows fed a 100% grass fed diet. 

That means Bulletproof that Dave Asprey founded does make money when it's sold.  But since glyphosate and Roundup likely ARE harmful and important to avoid, this is an ethical and beneficial service.]

C. The evidence that hybrid wheat, as over 90% of the growers grow it, contains glyphosate and Roundup is inconsistent.  Apparently some do and some do not.

But such farmers likely at least spray Roundup on nearby fields or plant the wheat in fields that were once sprayed with it.  

So between the insecticides used and that amount of glyphosate and Roundup and the harm of hybrid wheat; the excessive omega 6 oils in a high intake of it; and the bigger blood sugar surge than sugar of eating it, means that for anyone who wants to lose fat or keep it off, the best intake of it is zero!

And, refined grain hybrid wheat is also in many, many foods loaded with the other ingredients that are known to contain glyphosate or Roundup.

These foods on their own are high in grain oils and sugar and high fructose corn syrup and even hydrogenated oils and MSG.

So avoiding all hybrid wheat and the foods that contain it or very close to it, also IS a double acting way to fatloss!
