WE ARE DRUGGING OUR KIDS TO DEATH

We feed our kids lots of sugar, a 12 ounce can of soda pop usually contains at least 2 ounces of sugar. Add to that white flour, chocolate, and dairy products and then we wonder why the schools classify them as hyper and recommend Ritalin. Then we have to give then anti-depressants to offset the effects of the Ritalin. I was talking to an elementary school teacher today and she was telling me that 8 of the 20 students in her class were on Ritalin.
I have never talked to a parent whose children, who were eating Sunrider foods, were classified as hyper or were having related problems in school. To learn more about these whole foods with live enzymes, visit

Do vitamins really work?

“Study: Multivitamins good for very little
By Karen Kaplan

The news about vitamins keeps getting worse.
A spate of high-profile studies published in the last few years shows that a variety of popular supplements —- including calcium, selenium and vitamins A, C and E —- don’t do anything to reduce the risk of developing heart disease, stroke or a variety of cancers.
But what about multivitamins? These combination pills, which contain 10 to 30 vitamins and minerals, are the most popular dietary supplements sold in America.
A report published this week in the Archives of Internal Medicine suggests they shouldn’t be.”
The above article was copied from the Atlanta Journal Constitution Feb. 18, 2009 edition. The only true source for vitamins is through the eating of whole foods with live enzymes. Sunrider foods are designed to do just this. Anyone can make a vitamin but it takes real expertise to produce whole foods with live enzymes.

Remember, if vitamins were as good as they are advertised, we’d all all be healthy.

Toxic Chemicals Found in Common Household Products

A University of Washington study of top-selling laundry products and air fresheners found the products emitted dozens of different chemicals. All six products tested gave off at least one chemical regulated as toxic or hazardous under federal laws, but none of those chemicals was listed on the product labels.

“I first got interested in this topic because people were telling me that the air fresheners in public restrooms and the scent from laundry products vented outdoors were making them sick,” said Anne Steinemann, a UW professor of civil and environmental engineering and of public affairs. “And I wanted to know, ‘What’s in these products that is causing these effects?’”

She analyzed the products to discover the chemicals’ identity.

“I was surprised by both the number and the potential toxicity of the chemicals that were found,” Steinemann said. Chemicals included acetone, the active ingredient in paint thinner and nail-polish remover; limonene, a molecule with a citrus scent; and acetaldehyde, chloromethane and 1, 4-dioxane.

“Nearly 100 volatile organic compounds were emitted from these six products, and none were listed on any product label. Plus, five of the six products emitted one or more carcinogenic ‘hazardous air pollutants,’ which are considered by the Environmental Protection Agency to have no safe exposure level,” Steinemann said.

Steinemann chose not to disclose the brand names of the six products she tested. In a larger study of 25 cleaners, personal care products, air fresheners and laundry products, now submitted for publication, she found that many other brands contained similar chemicals.

Because manufacturers of consumer products are not required to disclose the ingredients, Steinemann analyzed the products to discover their contents. She studied three common air fresheners (a solid deodorizer disk, a liquid spray and a plug-in oil) and three laundry products (a dryer sheet, fabric softener and a detergent), selecting a top seller in each category. She bought household items at a grocery store and asked companies for samples of industrial products.

In the laboratory, each product was placed in an isolated space at room temperature and the surrounding air was analyzed for volatile organic compounds, small molecules that evaporate from the product’s surface into the air.

Results showed 58 different volatile organic compounds above a concentration of 300 micrograms per cubic meter, many of which were present in more than one of the six products. For instance, a plug-in air freshener contained more than 20 different volatile organic compounds. Of these, seven are regulated as toxic or hazardous under federal laws. The product label lists no ingredients, and information on the Material Safety Data Sheet, required for workplace handling of chemicals, lists the contents as “mixture of perfume oils.”

Manufacturers are not required to list the ingredients used in laundry products and air fresheners. Personal-care products and cleaners often contain similar fragrance chemicals, Steinemann said. And although cosmetics are required by the Food and Drug Administration to list ingredients, no law requires products of any kind to list chemicals used in fragrances.

“Be careful if you buy products with fragrance, because you really don’t know what’s in them,” she added. “I’d like to see better labeling. In the meantime, I’d recommend that instead of air fre                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            sheners people use ventilation, and with laundry products, choose fragrance-free versions.”

I picked the article above from Newsmax.com.  Sunrider makes some great products that avoid all these problems.  My personal favorite is Fruit and Vegetable Rinse, which has a variety of uses.  As implied by its name, we use it to wash our fresh vegetables before eating to clean off any pesticide and/or chemical residue.  It comes in handy when cleaning up after handling chicken because it will actually kill germs.  In addition, Sunrider makes several other household products such as laundry detergents, cleansers, etc. that don’t contain harmful and toxic ingredients.  To learn more about Sunrider and other wonderful cleaning products check out our website http://my.sunrider.com/rwpeppel

Dieting doesn’t work

 

Have you ever tried to diet?  How did it work?  The traditional approach to dieting has been to reduce caloric intake, eat less food.  The unfortunate part of this is the body does not understand dieting, the body simply knows that it is not getting as much food as it  used to and goes into starvation mode.  This works in the short term because the body starts to consume itself and eats up some of your fat cells and you show immediate results.  The body really doesn’t like to eat itself, so it compensates in other ways such as reduce energy consumption.  It takes more energy to run than walk and the body operates in the same manner.  Some bodily processes that use energy slow down, such as endocrine system or digestive system, which in turn affects your immune system.

 

Losing weight is as much being healthy as it is anything else.  What causes weight gain?  Mostly it is consuming more calories than we expend.  When we feel hungry or have cravings, it is our body asking for nutrition.  Cravings are usually a sign of a specific problem such as sugar cravings are a good indication of candida.  So, whether we respond to those cravings with candy, ice cream, doughnuts, soda and chip, or something else equally unhealthy, we are filling our bodies with toxins.  The body does its best to get rid of them as best it can but those it can’t it encapsulates in fat and stores them wherever it can.   Dieting doesn’t solve your health problems and the same conditions that caused the cravings still exist and you end up going back to the foods that you were eating before the diet because the cravings are still there.  In fact most people soon regain the weight they lost and in many cases add more.

 

Sunrider Nu-plus provides your body with the nutrients and vitamins that it needs and eliminates the cravings.  If your body does not have to deal with all those toxins, it doesn’t have to encapsulate them in fat.  The Sunrider Calli, Fortune delight, and Quinary are part of a weight management program and assist the body’s natural cleansing process.  Since you’re not producing more fat cells to handle the toxins, you will lose weight.  A healthy body does not store fat!

Cancer & Protein

Is there a connection between cancer and protein?  According to book published in ____ called The China Study, a report of numerous studies conducted examining the relationship between health and diet, there is a definite correlation between the two.  One phase of the study examined cancer and protein.  While not going so far as to claim a cause and effect relationship, the study did indicate a much higher incidence of cancer among those whose main source of protein is animal based as opposed to those whose protein source is plant based. 

 

The study identified several specific vitamins and minerals that we need to ward off cancer, but also hastened to point out that we couldn’t get these simply by taking pills.  While the fruits and vegetables do contain the specific vitamins and minerals that we need, it is the whole food that we need as well.

 

Sunrider foods are whole foods with live enzymes.  They are completely vegetarian and provide you with the plant based protein that you need.
