Live healthy and long

From Rob Poulos

There are three things that can spoil our metabolism and make you fat:

l.  Caffeine with lots of sugar.  Coffee is preferred not to be taken with fructose sugar.  Too much sugar make you insensitve to insulin causing your body to pump out more insulin.  Too much insulin makes for he lower production of pectin, your fat is not metabolized.  Eating liquid carbs and not real carbs make you crave for more food.

2.  Artificial sweeteners:   sucrolose (splenda) and aspartame (sweet and low, equal,) are tough on thyroid, and cause hypothyroidism.  It means low metabolism leading to more fats  Moreover, they cause more production of cortisol, and cortisol makes you retain fat even in a low calorie state. Try lemon, cucumber with water. or the latest:  stevia.

3. Are you listening to your body?

This is a post from Truth About Abs.com of Mike Geary.

The question being posed is about 4 artificial sweeteners -  do they make you fat?

What are they?

                                  

> Aspartame  (made from excreta of E.coli bacteria)

>  Saccharine

>  Splenda (sucralase)  (it is a compound synthesized from carbon and chlorine, which is a light pesticide)

>  Acesulfame Potassium (Acesulfame K)

The battle between High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) and artificial sweetener is a battle between two evils!!


Since they are artificial molecules devoid of calories, they actually make you crave for reall calories, and cause you to gain weight.

Aside from that, the following are attributed to these substances:

                         


l.  GIT problems,

2.  may cause cancer

3.  cause more food cravings

4.  negative effects on kidney, liver and other organs

5,  head aches

6.  embryonic development


                                  
              

The article recommends the use of Stevia, which 200-300 times stronger than natural sugar.  Or honey or maple syrup, or sorghum sugar.  In the Philippines, there is coconut sugar

But are they really?
