Overexposure to fluoride is causing a condition called fluorosis, causing permanent damage to teeth. And what is it doing to the inside of the body?

Pictures of blueberries are prominently displayed on the front of many food packages. Here they are on boxes of muffins, cereals and breads. But turn the packages around, and suddenly the blueberries disappear. They’re gone, replaced in the ingredients list with sugars, oils and artificial colors derived from petrochemicals.

This bag of blueberry bagels sold at Target stores is made with blueberry bits. And while actual blueberries are found further down the ingredients list, the blueberry bits themselves don’t even contain bits of blueberries. They’re made entirely from sugar, corn cereal, modified food starch, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, artificial flavor, cellulose gum, salt and artificial colors like Blue #2, Red #40, Green #3 and Blue #1.

What’s missing from that list? Well, blueberries.
Where did the blueberries go?

They certainly didn’t end up in Total Blueberry Pomegranate Cereal. This cereal, made by General Mills, contains neither blueberries nor pomegranates. They’re nowhere to be found. But the cereal is made with red #40, blue #2 and other artificial colors. And it’s even sweetened with sucralose, a chemical sweetener. And that’s in addition to the sugar, corn syrup and brown sugar syrup that’s already on the label.

A lot of products that imply they’re made with blueberries contain no blueberries at all. And many that do contain a tiny amount of blueberries cut their recipes with artificial blueberry ingredients to make it look like their products contain more blueberries than they really do.

Kellogg’s Blueberry Pop Tarts shows a picture of plump blueberries right on the front of the box. But inside the box, there’s a lot more high fructose corn syrup than actual blueberries. And the corn syrup is given a blueberry color with the addition of — guess what? — red #40, blue #1 and blue #2 chemicals.

Kellogg’s Frosted Mini Wheats also come in a Blueberry Muffin variety, with fresh blueberries prominently featured on the front of the package. But inside, there are no actual blueberries to be found. Instead, you get “blueberry flavored crunchlets” — yes, crunchlets — made from sugars, soybean oil, red #40 and blue #2.

And, if you can believe it, the side panel of this box features the “Frosted Mini Wheats Bite Size” logo, followed by the words “blueberry muffin” with pictures of blueberries, finally followed by “The Whole Truth.” Except it really isn’t the whole truth at all. It’s more like a half truth.

These marketing deceptions even continue on Kellogg’s website, where one page claims, “New Special K Blueberry Fruit Crisps are filled with blueberries and drizzled with vanilla icing.” Except they aren’t, really. What they’re really filled with is apple powder, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, fructose, sugar, artificial colors red #40 and blue #1, all enhanced with a dash of blueberry puree concentrate.

Even seemingly “healthy” blueberry products can be deceptive. Betty Crocker’s Fiber One Blueberry muffin mix enhances its small amount of actual blueberries with petrochemical colors, too: Red #40, Blue #1 and Blue #2.

At least Betty Crocker’s Blueberry Muffin Mix admits it contains no real blueberries. Well, if you read the fine print, that is. It’s ingredients reveal “Artificial blueberry flavor bits” which are made from dextrose, Corn Flour, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Sugar, Citric Acid, Artificial Flavor, and of course the obligatory Blue #1 and Red #40.

When consumers buy blueberry cereals, muffins and mixes, they’re under the impression that they’re buying real blueberries. No ordinary consumer realizes they’re actually buying blue coloring chemicals mixed with hydrogenated oils and liquid sugars. That’s why this common industry practice of faking the blueberries is so deceptive.

Why can’t food companies just be more honest about it? Nature’s Path Organic Optimum Blueberry-Cinnamon Breakfast Cereal contains — get this — both blueberries and cinnamon.

Better yet, you won’t find any red #40, blue #2 or partially-hydrogenated vegetable oils in Nature’s Path products. They even use organic blueberries and organic cinnamon.

Health Valley Low-Fat Blueberry Tarts are also made with real blueberries. You won’t find any artificial coloring chemicals in this box.

So why can’t Kellogg, Betty Crocker, General Mills and Target stores use real blueberries in their products instead of deceptively formulating them with artificial petrochemical colors that mimic the purple color of blueberries?

It’s probably because real blueberries are expensive. And artificial blueberry bits, made with sugar, partially hydrogenated oils and artificial colors, are dirt cheap. If these companies can fool consumers into thinking they’re buying real blueberries in their products, they can command a price premium that translates into increased profits.

Once again, in the food industry, deception pays off. And it pays big.

So what can YOU do to make sure you don’t get scammed by a food company trying to sell you red #40 and Blue #2 as if they were real blueberries? Read the ingredients. If you see artificial colors on the list — and they’re usually found at the very bottom of the ingredients list — just don’t buy that product.

Put it back on the shelf and choose something else that’s not deceptively marketed. And that’s how you solve “the case of the missing blueberries.”

Homeopathy has been ignored and attacked so much that its economic efficacy is overlooked. This has been going on for over a century. A major reason the AMA was formed in the mid-19th century was to put homeopathy out of reach from the public, and now it intends to keep it that way. This campaign has been all too successful.

Ignorant, desperate parents of vaccine injured and autistic children as well as older vaccine injury victims keep searching in all the wrong places for treatment. Homeopathy has a track record of successfully treating the vaccine injured and other chronic ailments.

A Computer Scientist Becomes Homeopathic Activist

Amy Lansky`s young son Max was showing signs of autism at age three. Prior to that, Amy and her husband faithfully followed the allopathic gospel of loading kids up on vaccinations. After realizing her son`s condition was caused by the allopathic field she had trusted, she looked into homeopathy. Amy found a homeopath in her area of California that would take on Max`s challenging case.

Her son Max recovered, showing rapid improvement at first, then eventually becoming totally healed. Amy then pursued a mission of educating the public on the merits of homeopathy. Amy Lansky`s book, Impossible Cure: The Promise of Homeopathy, is a comprehensive educational guide to homeopathy.

A personal thought today. Not related to healing but from my heart. Many of you will relate, and I hope many of you have  experienced this, or enjoy it now. I hope to again.

Love beyond choice

It is a mystery. Love transforms us. Researchers, authors, poets, and philosophers have all tried to pin down the elusive ingredient. What makes one person so precious to us? Is it pheromones, is it hormones, is it neurotransmitters? Is it the energy of the heart itself that recognizes a long lost mate?

There are stages or depths of love. There is the rapturous, addictive phase of attraction- that “in love” feeling that may last a year or two. But somewhere comes the moment when you choose that person- even when faults, flaws, and weaknesses surface. You choose him, and that is the moment when you commit.

But beyond these, deeper than these, there is something more. There is a more powerful, soul-connecting kind of love. I am talking about the kind of love that can walk you through fire or deserts, or convince you that you can dig a swimming pool with a spoon for your beloved. A love that can survive heartbreak, tragedy, trauma, age, and infirmity. The love you see between two old souls walking slowly through the park on Sunday, holding hands. Through illness, through tragedy, or through despair, the light burns on in the heart.

This is the source of strength unparalleled. It can build mountains and ride the deepest waves with endless fortitude and determination. It is fed by tenderness and understanding. It is fed by compassion and kindness. It is fed by time and the pursuit of dreams. It seems a force stronger than death itself.

It is a love beyond choice.

This is bizarre and thought-provoking:

Women are getting more attractive in evolutionary ‘beauty race’ The “fairer sex”–& it appears it is becoming increasingly true. Women are gradually becoming more attractive in an evolutionary ‘beauty race’, according to scientific research. Beautiful women have more children than their plainer counterparts, and a higher proportion of those children are girls, a study claims.

These daughters, once adult, also tend to be attractive and so the pattern continues.

Examples of beautiful celebrity mothers with equally beautiful daughters who are models include Jerry Hall, and her two daughters Elizabeth and Georgia Jagger, and Yasmin Le Bon and daughter Amber – who has recently modeled swimwear.

This pattern has led to women becoming steadily more beautiful over the generations, say scientists.
