I know you know refined sugar is bad…right? Tooth decay, diabetes, heart disease and all. But did you know it can zap your love life?

I just read a study in the Journal of Clinical Investigation showing that high levels of glucose and fructose can deactivate the gene that controls the amount of sex hormones in your blood.1

This study revealed that when glucose and fructose are metabolized by the liver it deactivates the SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin) gene. Why is SHBG so ... important? It regulates

Weight Loss Alert: Know the Truth About Bread?

Weightloss: Nearly every day, you can see TV commercials praising the «health benefits» of whole-grain products and losing weight - especially bread. If you haven't noticed, the US food pyramid is built on a base of grains. And I constantly read advice to eat «low-glycemic whole-grain» foods, which supposedly help with weightloss. Well, if someone has found a low-glycemic whole-grain food, I'd like to see it. Do grain products actually help with weightloss?

When the Al Sears research foundation put together their extensive glycemic index, they organized foods that contain carbohydrates by category, from those that raise blood sugar levels the most to those that raise blood sugar levels the least. The key here is to eat more foods with a low glycemic index. Study after study has shown that the higher the index the more it will spike your blood sugar (equals less weightloss), which means that more insulin will be injected into your blood stream. The problem with high levels of insulin in your blood stream is that instead of burning calories, your body has a much greater tendency to store the calories as fat.

Ok, I have been getting a lot of questions lately about what exactly Diatomaceous Earth is and what the hell the benefits are. And 'No! it doesn't come from cat litter.'

Why would you even think about adding it to your arsenal of dietary supplements, when you already have too many as it is? As we get older, the source of silica in our bodies becomes exhausted, resulting in:

Wrinkles, dry skin, dull lifeless hair, and brittle nails and bones, which the greater percentage of you reading this probably can't relate to, right!

Maintaining collagen underneath the skin increases elasticity and beauty. Collagen owes that attribute to Silica, which provides a beautiful complexion that is more than skin deep. Silica has been regarded as nature's building block and is our answer to healthier, younger looking, more radiant skin, hair and nails.

It is a universal element in the human body that can be found free and soluble in water or combined with proteins and lipids, and has an exact relationship to mineral absorption. Its most important purpose is of immune nature, because the Silica partakes in the manufacturing process of antibodies/antigens.

Silica is body essential -- meaning it is absolutely necessary for carrying our ongoing metabolic processes that are vital to life.
