As you may have guessed, I subscribe to a lot of health related newsletters, but I must tell you my favorite is Dr. Mercola’s (www.mercola.com). He must have a huge research team; no one person could keep up on all of the latest information as well as he does. Today’s article explains why the Russians have banned microwave. I know . . . you didn’t want to hear that either, but we need to know. I had heard that the nutritiant content of brocolli was tested before and after microwaving at one of the ACAM (American College for the Advancement of Medicine) conferences and, to no one’s surprise, all of the nutrients were destroyed in the microwaved vegetable.
Before I leave I also wanted to find an article on Agave sweetener and, sure enough, there was one on Mercola’s website (March 30th). . . the title, “Shocking! This ‘Tequila’ Sweetener is Far Worse than High Fructose Corn Syrup.” As we know, fructose appears to be the primary cause of our obesity epidemic. . . . .Just a couple more things for you to ponder and, hopefully, a little more reading for you while I’m gone. Stay healthy.
