Many companies label their industrial waste as food, adding a bright color to make it look nice and mixing it with cheap sugar to make it palatable.

I have friends acquiring diabetes left and right because they splurge on sugar and high fructose corn syrup (sodas.) I heard high fructose metabolizes into fat, at the same time reducing liver function, pancreas and inducing high blood pressure.

I would ask them to do a test on themselves and skip the consumption of wheat for a week and see if there was any difference with their health, especially changes related to allergies and joint inflammation. After I went wheat/gluten free for an unrelated reason, my allergies disappeared and I haven't had a cold or flu for more than 10 years! I heard similar results from other people. There is a rumor that wheat is bathed in pesticides, which causes propensity to inflammation when consumed.

Also watch out for food coloring derived from petroleum distillates or coal tar, such as Red 40, Blue 1, Yellow 6, etc. We noticed my son would display A.D.D symptoms every time he ate candies containing Red 40.

Note that both sugar and wheat consumption are slow in creating a negative reaction in the body, so it is hard for anyone to see the correlation between what they eat and their health situation.(less)

How do you deal with writer’s block?

John Freitas I first come up with a story, then write it. This way I already have a line up and don't experience writer's block.…moreI first come up with a story, then write it. This way I already have a line up and don't experience writer's block.(less)
