Dear Reader,

I've been avoiding maltodextrin for a couple of years now, ever since I discovered that the root of my various ailments was gluten intolerance.

Now, you might be asking: Isn't it made from corn or potatoes?

Usually, yes. The FDA's regulations state that maltodextrin is made from corn starch, rice starch, or potato starch. Sometimes, though, it's made from wheat starch. On FDA-regulated foods, you'll see "wheat" on the label if this is the case. But if the food is regulated by the USDA, you're out of luck.

Research on maltodextrin recently caught my eye for an entirely different reason, however. If you have Crohn's disease and you find your condition getting worse, maltodextrin could be partly to blame.

The thing is, maltodextrin is just about everywhere. It's used as a thickener or filler in all kinds of processed foods like sauces, desserts, and puddings to name just a few. It's also an ingredient in a couple of nasty artificial sweeteners... Splenda and Equal.

And, it turns out if you're doing everything right and you're not sure why you're not feeling better, there's a good chance that the hidden maltodextrin in your food might have something to do with it.

Researchers at the Cleveland Clinic's Lerner Research Institute uncovered something pretty worrying about this common food additive. It may make the inflammation of Crohn's disease worse by spurring the growth of E. coli in the small intestine.

The researchers found that in the presence of Equal or Splenda the E. coli became stickier. And, naturally, the stickier bacteria are the more likely they are to stick to the walls of your intestines. But this didn't happen when the researchers grew the E. coli with the maltodextrin-free sweetener stevia.

In other words, if you tend to eat a lot of packaged and processed foods, you could be fueling the very thing that's making you sicker.

The researchers cautioned that the tests were conducted in the lab, not in people, so they aren't suggesting that people with the disease avoid maltodextrin. And of course the artificial sweetener industry was quick to chime in with a reminder that the findings shouldn't change how the sweeteners are made or sold.

But why not cut maltodextrin from your diet and see if your condition improves? And you'll get the added bonus of eating less processed foods, which is always a good thing.

Yours in good health,

Christine O'Brien

P.S. Heard that MSM can help arthritis but not clear on whether it's safe? Keep reading for Dr. Wright's take.



Deep in the heart of Thailand, a newly discovered text teaches us how to...
Bring human aging to a virtual STAND STILL


600 years ago, monks in the Northern Kingdom of modern day Thailand stumbled upon a secret that changes the rules of aging.

They documented how this rare find could...keep hair thick and full, send energy soaring, and help skin stay rosy and firm.

But even better, when this secret went up against 21st century science--it bowled it over by showing it could combat cancer, help men protect their prostate and allow women to soar through menopause with ease.

The text has been found, the results amaze modern scientists, and now you can have this game-changing secret for yourself! Read on to get every last detail.

Your MSM manual

Q: Do you have any advice on using MSM for arthritis? Is it safe?

Dr. Wright: Many people use MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) to treat arthritis. And although the effectiveness does vary, most of the people who use it have experienced relief from their arthritis symptoms.

From all outward appearances, MSM seems to be effective and completely safe. A recent study confirmed that it reduces arthritis pain and lessens functional impairment. Studies also show no side effects when it's used for relatively short time periods, such as a few months to a year.

But MSM might not be as totally harmless as it seems.

There's at least one long-term effect that is theoretically possible: the depletion of the essential trace element molybdenum. Molybdenum is essential to safe, complete processing of sulfur in human and animal bodies.

MSM contains nearly 30 percent sulfur. Typically, high-sulfur foods like meat, fish, poultry, eggs, milk, and legumes are balanced by nature to contain the essential nutrients needed to completely metabolize the sulfur content.

But unlike natural foods, MSM supplements don't contain any other key nutrients needed to metabolize MSM's high sulfur content. So, in a way, MSM's sulfur is "naked" because it doesn't have a rich complex of vitamins and minerals built in.

A century ago this wouldn't have been a big concern because you would have gotten sufficient molybdenum from the other foods you ate to completely metabolize the sulfur from MSM. Unfortunately, most agricultural soils are much lower in molybdenum and other essential trace minerals than they were 100 years ago.

To make matters worse, processing and refining foods removes most of the remaining molybdenum (and other trace mineral) content. So unless you're eating a mostly organic diet, you're getting much, much less molybdenum than your grandparents or great-grandparents.

If you're taking large quantities of MSM, the molybdenum needed to completely metabolize its sulfur must be "stolen" from an already relatively low-molybdenum diet. Fortunately, there's likely to be enough molybdenum already present in your body to metabolize MSM over shorter time periods, such as weeks or months.

You're probably wondering why I'm still concerned about MSM safety. Once again, I'm not concerned if you're planning to use MSM for just a few months. But if you start using it at age 50 or 60, and it helps relieve your pain, you're likely to take it for another 20 to 30 years or so.

So if you plan to take MSM for many years because it helps your joints (or for any other reason), you should try to eat an entirely organic diet to make sure you're getting enough molybdenum to offset the sulfur in the MSM. If eating an entirely organic diet isn't possible for you, look for one of the brands of MSM that contains at least 50 micrograms of molybdenum for every 1,000 milligrams of MSM.

At the very least, I recommend working with a physician skilled and knowledgeable in nutritional and natural medicine and monitoring your molybdenum levels over the years.
