Greetings and thank your for subscribing! I trust that if you celebrated Thanksgiving you enjoyed relaxation, family and thankfulness for all that you have!

As the new week begins I would like to warn you, again, about scam sites that is claiming to be affiliated with Wayne Garland Master Formulas, that are not!! I continue to receive calls thinking that we are affiliated with them and we are not or accusing me of not being affiliated with Dr. Wayne Garland... Those non-affiliate sites are taking money and not delivering product so if you are going to be taking Wayne Garland Master Formulas check out who you are considering ordering from before placing an order... Do they have a phone number that someone actually answers? Are the prices so low that they can't possibly be legit? Do they have an email that answers you within 24 hours or less? I'm sorry for those who are losing money placing those orders but I cannot refund money to someone I did not receive money from, nor can I afford to give product away to those who got ripped off... The Wayne Garland Master Formulas company has filed suits and complaints with Attorney Generals in different states but that can take years to rectify and the crooks keep moving from state to state and looks like it may become cost prohibitive to follow them. Please be careful when ordering product from anyone...

Prozac Use Weakens, Shrinks Young Bones

Researchers discovered that children taking Prozac might be exposing themselves to another devastating side effect -- impaired bone growth. A study in mice suggests that the cellular mechanisms crucial to bone growth may shut down in the presence of Prozac, which could delay bone development.

Prozac is one in a family of antidepressant drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). In addition to Prozac, other SSRIs include:

Celexa
Paxil
Zoloft

The purpose of these antidepressant drugs is to interact with nerve cells to increase the production of the neurotransmitter serotonin, which is low in people suffering from depression. However, a serotonin transporter key to this process, 5-HTT, is also found in cells responsible for building and maintaining bone. Consequently, SSRI drugs targeting serotonin (such as Prozac) may adversely affect bone development.

In order to discover if their hypothesis was correct, researchers conducted experiments on genetically engineered mice. They found that growing mice exposed to Prozac over a four-week period averaged 6-9.4 percent less bone formation in their spines and thighbones than unexposed mice.

Researchers also discovered the reduction of bone growth did not affect the length of the bones, but rather how wide, or thick they were.

The Ultimate Sweet Plant!

I was so happy to receive a sample package of a new mouthwash that has neither alcohol nor aspartame in it. I use an herbal mouthwash so it isn't something that will change my life but a good thing for those who do... No, I'm not going to say a mouthwash is a food... But I thought this week would be a good time to hit on the ultimate sugar substitute that is plant based and healthy as the food of the week! I mention it from time to time but have never really given you the reason why it's healthier for you?

While Equal and Saccharine continue to dominate the non-caloric sweetener market, with the help of the medical world, this remarkable herb called Stevia remains relatively unknown.

Anyone who suffers from diabetic blood sugar disorder or who needs to limit their caloric intake or is addicted to sugar must be told about the remarkable health and healing properties of a great substitute that I can't say is a "sugar substitute," or the government will come down on me. Stevia can be marketed as a food supplement only.

History of Stevia

The Guarani Indians had known for centuries about the unique advantages of kaa he-he -a native term which translates as "sweet herb" - long before the invaders from the Old World were lured by the treasures of the New. These native people knew the leaves of the wild stevia shrub - a perennial indigenous to the Amambay Mountain region - to have a sweetening power unlike anything else; they commonly used the leaves to enhance the taste of bittermate (a tea-like beverage) and medicinal potions, or simply chewed them for their sweet taste. The widespread native use of stevia was chronicled by the Spaniards in historical documents preserved in the Paraguayan National Archives in Asuncion. Historians noted that indigenous peoples had been sweetening herbal teas with stevia leaves "since ancient times." By the 1800s, daily stevia consumption had become well entrenched throughout the region - not just in Paraguay - but also in neighboring Brazil and Argentina.

Like the discovery of America itself, however, credit for stevia's "discovery" to the rest of the world goes to an Italian. In this case, the explorer was a botanist whose initial unfamiliarity with the region - because of his difficulty in locating the herb - caused him to believe that he had stumbled onto a "little-known" plant.

In 1903, however Bertoni discovered the live plant, a gift from the parish priest of Villa San Pedro. The following year, as he recounted, "the appearance of the first flowers enabled me to make a complete study" that was published in December, 1905, after an interruption caused by a civil war. His findings was enough to convince him that "the sweetening power of kaa he-e is so superior to sugar and there is no need to wait for the results of analyses and cultures to affirm its economic advantage...the simplest test proves it."

An ideal alternative to other sugar or sugar substitutes, but in the U.S. we cannot say it's a sweetener. Yet this herb has proven to be safe and effective for hundreds of years without a single reported adverse reaction by anyone! No MS, or other neurological disorders as with our modern day chemical sugar substitutes or sugar derivative Splenda.

The sweetening power of Stevia is amazing as it is between 70 to 400 times sweeter than white sugar. Most amazing and remarkable about Stevia is that it is completely calorie-free, never initiates a rise in blood sugar, and does not provide an intestinal source of food for bacteria and yeasts.

The leaves of the Stevia shrub contain specific glycosides, which produce a sweet taste but have no caloric value. Stevia also contains protein, fiber, carbohydrates, phosphorus, iron, calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, rutin (flavonoid), zinc, vitamins C and A.

Stevia vs sugar? No comparison in the health department! Sugar is processed until it is more chemical than real and Stevia is natural and healthy!

Stevia is a small perennial shrub with green leaves that belongs to the aster or chrysanthemum family of plants. It grows primarily in the Amambay mountain range of Paraguay but over 200 species of Stevia have been found around the world.

While the herb's native locale may make it appear somewhat exotic, it has proved to be quite adaptable and capable of being cultivated in climate zones as diverse as Florida and southern Canada.

Organic gardeners in particular should find stevia an ideal addition to their garden. Though nontoxic, stevia plants have been found to have insect-repelling tendencies. Their very sweetness, in fact, may be a kind of natural defense mechanism against aphids and other bugs that find it not to their taste. Perhaps that's why crop-devouring grasshoppers have been reported to bypass stevia under cultivation.

Then, too, raising stevia yourself, whether in your back yard or on your balcony, is another positive way you can personally - and legally - protest the wrongheaded government policies that have for so long deprived the American people of its benefits -- a contemporary Victory Garden.

Stevia enjoyed some popularity in the U.S. during the 1980s as a natural sweetener and was found in a variety of consumer products. However, in 1986, the FDA stopped the sale as a sweetener and in 1991 said it was not suitable as a food additive. Advocates for Stevia say that this happened because the herb is a natural, inexpensive and non-patentable sweetener, and poses a threat to pharmaceutical sweeteners. As of now, Stevia has received approval by the FDA to be sold only as a dietary supplement, not as a sweetening agent. So use it as an additive. Isn't that what sugar or sugar substitutes are anyway? Cook, bake or sweeten your tea additive!

Conversion rates for Stevia are :

* 1 tsp. granulated sugar = 1/8 tsp. whole stevia leaf powder or slight dusting white stevia extract (powder)
*1 tbsp. granulated sugar = 3/8 tsp. whole stevia leaf powder or 1/2 pinch white stevia extract (powder)
*1/4 c. granulated sugar = 1 1/2 tsp. whole stevia leaf powder or 1 pinch white stevia extract (powder)
*1/2 c. granulated sugar = 1 tbsp. whole stevia leaf powder or 1/8 tsp. white stevia extract (powder)
*1 c. granulated sugar = 2 tbsp. whole stevia leaf powder or 1/4 tsp. white stevia extract (powder)

Enjoy your sweet healthy plant food!

What Is A Serving Size?
© By Lena Sanchez

Most people have no idea what a serving of food is these days, and with all the fast food kingsizing/supersizing available, are way over the limits in fats and empty caloried foods. Those king size servings is spoiling your stomach and waist line. Obesity is rampant and because of the lack of improper nutrients in foods the craving for larger serving have become a way of life...

Here is a list of servings sizes;
Bread (both whole grain or refined) - 1 slice = 1 serving
Ready-to-eat cereal - 1 cup = 1 serving
Cooked cereal, pasta and rice - 1/2 cup = 1 serving

Fruits:
1 medium apple, banana, orange or pear = 1 serving
Canned, chopped or cooked - 1/2 cup = 1 serving
Fruit juice - 3/4 cup or 6 ounces = 1 serving

Vegetables:
Raw leafy - 1 cup = 1 serving
Cooked or Raw other vegetables - 1/2 cup = 1 serving
Vegetable juice - 3/4 cup or 6 ounces = 1 serving

Dairy:
Milk or yogurt - 1 cup or 8 ounces = 1 serving
Natural cheese such as cheddar - 1 1/2 oz = 1 serving
Processed cheese (American) - 2 ounces = 1 serving

Legumes, nuts or soy can replace meat;
Legumes (beans) - 1 to 1 1/2 cup cooked = 1 serving
Nuts - 2/3 cup or 6 Tablespoons nut butter = 1 serving
Tofu - 1 1/2 cup or 12 ounces = 1 serving
Soyburger - 5 to 6 ounces = 1 serving
Soy milk or soy cheese - 1 cup or 8 ounces = 1 serving

Meat, poultry or fish - 2 - 3 ounces cooked = 1 serving

Recommended daily intake;
Vegetables 6 - 8 servings
Fruits - 4 - 5 servings
Meat/legumes etc. - 4 servings

Notice there are no recommendations for mostly empty caloried foods such as candy, pies, cake or cookies. Anything more in one direction or the other outside the recommended serving as a routine habit will create an obese person. Sadly even if you eat the correct servings as recommended daily your body will crave more because sufficient mineral and nutrient content is missing. Hence a very obese and/or malnourished society today!

Balance your mineral intake to utilize your vitamins and prevent obesity!

Why do I say that? Almost 70 years ago that was known but has been set aside and forgotten all for the sake of making money. No it's not your local grocer that makes the money as they are limited in the amount of markup.

Balance your nutrients, understand what a serving is and enjoy your holiday feasts!
