Most of the fake meat products out there (Boca, morningstar, etc.) have MSG in their products in the form of hydrolyzed wheat protein or yeast extract. How sad they add poison -- when they could be offering a healthy alternative to meat products.

Here is a link to some common ingredients that "hide" MSG from you.

Life is Exciting - what is new with me today!!!

We are on to something new here... my sisters and I. You all will know about it in the next month or so, we are very excited.

My detox foot pads business is going well, too. My next shipment of 50,000 foot pads will come in maybe next week, and then another shipment next month.

The most amount of footpads I have shipped out in a single month is 30,000 foot detox pads. Because of the economy, I am down to between 5,000 and 15,000, depending on the month. It fluctuates quite a lot. My other products, OxyFlush, OxyLift and OxyEarth, have increased a TON, I guess many people are getting more interested in their health. NutraSilver also has been selling well. Too bad most people who purchase it have to suffer from the dreaded Morgellon's disease. Wish there was a permanent cure for it.

If you really want to do something good for your health... stop eating the following products: High Fructose Corn Syrup, MSG, and Aspartame. If you permanently got those out of your diet, you will be amazed at the difference in your health. Unfortunately, MSG is hidden in almost everything: Gelatin, Calcium Caseinate, Sodium Caseinate, Glutamate, Glutamic Acid, Maltodextrin, Vegetable protein extract, autolyzed plant protein, hydrolyzed plant protein, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, textured protein (like TVP or fake meat), yeast extract, autolyzed yeast, and so many more!!

Researchers find corn syrup worse than sugar for weight

Researchers find corn syrup worse than sugar for weight

Published: Friday, March 26th, 2010
Psychology professor Bart Hoebel’s research group found that rats with access to high fructose corn syrup experienced a greater increase in body weight, body fat and triglyceride levels than those with access to sucrose or table sugar. Though some bloggers have pounced on the research to blame Americans’ bulging beltlines on corn in the week since the research was published online in the journal Pharmacology, Biochemistry and Behavior, members of the research group cautioned that the results are preliminary and do not necessarily carry over to humans. In two studies, the researchers looked at the effects on rats when they ate high fructose corn syrup. The first study showed that rats fed a diet of water sweetened with high fructose corn syrup for eight weeks, in addition to rat chow, gained more weight than those who drank water mixed with table sugar.
The second study, which examined the long term effects of high fructose corn syrup consumption, followed rats over a period of six months. The rats drinking the corn syrup solution had higher abdominal body fat than the sucrose solution group.
Nicole Avena, a visiting research associate from the University of Florida who worked on the study, said that the researchers’ primary motivation was to compare sucrose to high fructose corn syrup to determine if they produce different effects on body weight.
Miriam Bocarsly ’06 GS, who also worked on the project, said in an e-mail that the studies’ results do not “immediately translate to humans.”
“It’s important to point out that this is a very specific set of studies, done in rats,” she explained, adding that “I’m not a medical doctor or clinician, I am a scientist, and we have some interesting findings.”
Avena noted that it is not possible to proportionally approximate how much high fructose corn syrup humans would have to consume in order to gain as much weight as the rats because the animals metabolize calories differently from humans. She added that the metabolic processes differ in individual humans as well.
Avena said that an adapted version of their studies could be conducted on human subjects to see if the same results would occur, though she added that such studies would be conducted elsewhere, since Hoebel’s laboratory does not conduct clinical trials.
If further research determines that high fructose corn syrup leads to weight gain in humans than other sugars do, it would provide important evidence to inform efforts to lower obesity.
High-fructose corn syrup is presently used more commonly than sucrose as a sweetener in the American diet, Avena said. Americans consume 60 pounds of the sweetener per person annually. Corn syrup is inexpensive sweetener, in part because of billions of dollars of government subsidies to corn producers.
Avena said that she hopes the Food and Drug Administration or other government agencies consider their findings and those of other studies in future planning, though she said that the research team does not plan to lobby for policy change based on its findings.
“Our information is out there for people to consider and interpret,” she said. “We are research scientists, basically, just interested in understanding why people over-eat and gain weight. There are other people out there who make policy decisions, and we hope that this study and others like it might have some influence.”
Some past studies have shown that fructose causes an increase in body weight, Avena said. Fewer studies, however, have looked at the effects of high fructose corn syrup. Avena noted that there there are some differences between the two sweeteners. As one example, high-fructose corn syrup contains slightly more fructose: It contains 55 percent fructose, whereas sucrose is broken down in the body to 50 percent fructose and 50 percent glucose.
Avena said that data from studies on fructose, in addition to clinical research, could help to conclusively link high fructose corn syrup to obesity, but more research is needed before definitive claims can be made.
Another line of research conducted in the Hoebel laboratory has been the study of sugar addiction.
“We have published quite a few studies showing that rats will become addicted to sucrose,” Avena said. “They’ll show signs of withdrawal, craving and brain changes that are akin to what you’d see in an animal that’s addicted to a drug of abuse.”
She added, however, that there is no current evidence for addiction to high fructose corn syrup.
For the research team, this study is only the beginning.
Elyse Powell ’11, an undergraduate on the research team, said that they plan to both replicate and follow up on the experiment.
“The ultimate goal would be to understand what makes high fructose corn syrup different from sucrose, and how these sweeteners can affect the body, brain and behavior,” Avena said.
Hoebel could not be reached for comment.

Life is Great!! Life is Beautiful! Life is filled with Blessings!

So while I think about my life, I can't begin to express how many blessings I receive on a daily basis. I sometimes like to think that my whole life has been blessed because my mom is an Angel, looking down from Heaven, making sure good things happen to me. I used to think that as a child, and sometimes still do, as an adult. My mom's only sister, my aunt Linda, lives in Australia. Just yesterday she sent me an email with some scanned pictures attached. They were of my grandparents, my mom, and another great great grandmother. I really enjoy things like this. Besides, the pictures are SO beautiful.

And Purify Your Body's detox foot pads are doing well. It seems that people are getting more interested in their health. They are taking charge of their health more and more. Maybe it is because of the healthcare reform we are facing. I don't know the reason, but I am reaping the benefits. Folks are looking for relief from fibromyalgia, cures for migraines, pain relief from gout, insomnia, fatigue, Lyme disease, and so many other forms of illnesses. The first thing that people need to do is look for what is going on in their life. What toxins are they putting in their bodies? With fibromyalgia, there has been links to environmental toxins. Well, if you can't control your environment (say you work in a hair salon and are exposed to chemicals all day long -- for perms, colorings, etc), then the second best thing to do would be to use detox foot pads to get rid of the toxins. In that situation you won't ever get ahead... the foot pads probably won't ever come out clean, because you just keep putting the toxins in your body... but at least your symptoms will start to go away and you will get relief. Unfortunately for those folks they probably will want to be using the foot pads indefinitely, instead of maybe just for 2-3 months every year.

There are quite a few customers of mine that use the foot pads year round. That is great, sure. By all means. Many of these people are older and find that by using the detox pads they have a better quality of life. Who wouldn't want a better quality of life!? This is great.

Keep on detoxing. I will keep on providing the highest quality detox foot pads for the lowest price.
