Guest guest Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 And since these manifestations happen over time many would probably attribute to them to just getting older and usually busier. On Behalf Of cyndikrall Thursday, September 25, 2008 12:34 PM Re: [RFSL] High Fructose Corn Syrup Toxins also manifest themselves in many ways that people don't recognize. Depression, stomach aches, constipation, headaches, forgetfulness, irritability, lack of energy, acid indigestion, acid reflux, asthma, allergies, just to name a few. I believe that we all suffer from toxins in our environment and food, even if we don't recognize it. These aren't things we might go to a doctor for, and even if we did they might not be diagnosed correctly. By the time our symptoms build up, it usually manifests itself in outright illness. The inflammation that is in our system causes illnesses. Anything that causes the body chronic inflammation will eventually lead to illness of some sort. Things like HFSC and canola oil cause inflammation. There is a simple blood test you can take to measure the amount of inflammation in your body. I've had it done. Just my humble opinion based on looking at the people around me. Cyndi In a message dated 9/25/2008 4:53:38 A.M.

Here is a story I tell to illustrate this: DH was a pharmaceutical rep years ago and he sold Celebrex. A doctor was telling us about a patient with arthritis which he prescribed Celebrex. Didn’t work. Dr. then tried Vioxx. Didn’t work. Then he tried an older drug which was replaced by those new ones because it was less effective, Arthrotec, and surprise it worked. It just seems to me that people react differently to different things. On top of that there are probably contributing factors which vary from person to person. While I am not anywhere where I want to be with a natural, sustainable diet, I firmly believe that in some ways when man gets in the middle of nature and tries to improve it or copy it, it ultimately fails. This was true for trans fats, MSG, food coloring and many other things. Can you tell I am in the middle of reading “The Omnivores Dilemma”?

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Did anyone see the National Geographic show about stress on PBS this week? researchers are attributing more and more chronic illness, including belly fat gain to stress. Another good reason to simplify.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 That would be true if it wasn't children, too. HFCS isn't the worst thing out there, by far, but as science improves, they're able to tell us more about things that have been around forever. On the other side of the coin, they're able to make more things that aren't healthy for us but are convenient, fast, and cheap. I'll stick to using natural sugars. No point in taking risks I don't have to take.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 And that's a tough one!! I keep trying, but the busier things get, the harder it gets. We're really trying to cut back, but we have 2 kids in college (which we're paying for, haha) one in 8th grade and we have a 2nd grader with autism. (Our 8th grader also has epilepsy.) Stress is my middle name! I work out on the treadmill for 40 mins 4-5 days a week, do pilates and weight training, and eat no red meat, no dairy, and i love veggies, but that only goes so far.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 If you're in your mid thirties and up, you should get your hormones checked too. Stress depletes a lot of hormone production, which leads to illness too. You can get a simple saliva test done that is pretty accurate. Cyndi In a message dated 9/25/2008 2:00:06 P.M.
