			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.protocolsupplements.com/Sports-Performance-Supplements/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/sugar-mad-scientist.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-486" title="sugar mad scientist" src="http://www.protocolsupplements.com/Sports-Performance-Supplements/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/sugar-mad-scientist.jpg" alt="" width="259" height="195" /></a>Well, I have noticed that the high fructose corn syrup marketing machine is in full swing again.  They are still trying to convince us that this junk product is the same as real sugar.  It&#8217;s not folks, and it&#8217;s is leading to insulin resistance, diabetes and diabetes, just to name a few.  They will not stop pushing this onto the buying public, so it is up to us, the informed consumer, to make sure we make the right choices when shopping for us and our families.  Make sure you always read labels for the listed ingredients and stay away from this sweet poison.</p>
<p>(NaturalNews) Adolescents who consume foods and beverages containing high fructose corn syrup already have, present in their blood, evidence of risk factors for cardiovascular disease and diabetes according to a recent study. The results of the new study, to be published in February 2012 in <em>The Journal of Nutrition</em>, provide strong scientific evidence of the negative health consequences of fructose on the human body.</p>
<p><strong>Health consequences of HCFS show up early</strong></p>
<p>An investigation by scientists from the Medical College of Georgia (MCG) at Georgia Health Sciences University (GHSU) followed 559 children ages 14-18. The study subjects&#8217; dietary habits were measured; their blood analyzed and blood pressure, body fat and other health measurements taken. The researchers found a correlation between high-fructose diets and markers for heart and vascular disease such as higher blood pressure, fasting glucose, insulin resistance, levels of C &#8211; reactive protein, related to inflammation.</p>
<p>Teens whose diets included more HFCS also had lower levels of HDL cholesterol (the &#8220;good&#8221; cholesterol) and of the fat burning hormone adiponectin. In addition, study subjects who often consumed the industrial sweetener were more likely to have midsection fat, referred to as visceral adiposity, another known risk factor for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. More generalized fat distribution does not appear to have a link to HFCS or the other health risk factors.</p>
<p>Norman Pollock, assistant professor of pediatrics at GHSU and co-lead author of the study said that &#8220;There is not much data in children and adolescents,&#8221; although &#8220;adolescents consume the most fructose so it&#8217;s really important to not only measure the levels of fructose but to look at what it might be doing to their bodies currently and, hopefully, to look at cardiovascular disease outcomes as they grow.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Re-shaping teen diets</strong></p>
<p>Dr. Vanessa Bundy, a pediatric resident at MCG as well as co-lead author of the study, stated &#8220;It is so very important to provide a healthy balance of high-quality food to our children and to really pay close attention to the fructose and sucrose they are consuming at their home or anyone else&#8217;s. The nutrition that caregivers provide their children will either contribute to their overall health and development or potentially contribute to cardiovascular disease at an early age,&#8221; Bundy also pointed out that parents can help their teens by modeling good health habits, including both nutritious dietary choices and regular exercise.</p>
<p>Bundy also remarked on a truth that alternative health experts have long known but official medical science and health regulatory agencies have been slow to acknowledge: &#8220;Fructose itself is metabolized differently than other sugars and has some byproducts that are believed to be bad for us. The overall amount of fructose that is in high fructose corn syrup is not much different than the amount in table sugar but it&#8217;s believed there&#8217;s something in the syrup processing that plays a role in the bad byproducts of metabolism.&#8221;</p>
<p>Previous studies involving animals have had similar results to the Georgia study, but evidence of a direct health link among children between HCFS and health problems may finally spur action to limit adolescent consumption of the sweetener. Pollock noted &#8220;Ultimately we want to use this paper and other papers to kind of change politically how food is distributed into the schools, and the types of foods, to cut down on these specific types of foods with high fructose corn syrup in them.&#8221;</p>
<p>Pollock also pointed out that the study he and his team conducted was unusual in its focus on the total amount of fructose consumed in the diet. &#8220;A unique aspect of our study design is that we took into account the fructose released from sucrose during digestion along with the fructose found in foods and beverages. Because sucrose is broken down into fructose and glucose before it arrives at the liver for metabolism, it is important to consider the additional fructose from sucrose when determining the overall health effect of fructose.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Aborted Human Fetal Cells in Your Food, Vaccines &amp; Cosmetics</strong></p>
<p>Posted on December 22, 2011 by Dr. Eowyn</p>
<p>Dr. Helen Ratajczak, a former drug company scientist, just published <a href="http://www.rescuepost.com/files/theoretical-aspects-of-autism-causes-a-review1.pdf">a comprehensive review of autism research</a>. Buried in her 79-page review are five words that reveal a secret Big Pharma has kept from you:</p>
<p><strong><em>“…Grown in human fetal tissue.”</em></strong></p>
<p>As Dr. Mercola <a href="http://healthimpactnews.com/2011/human-dna-from-aborted-embryonic-cells-in-vaccines-linked-to-autism/" target="_blank">reports for</a> <em>Health Impact News Daily</em>, Dec. 21, 2011, <a href="http://www.rescuepost.com/files/theoretical-aspects-of-autism-causes-a-review1-1.pdf">the line reads</a> (page 70):</p>
<p><em>“An additional increased spike in incidence of autism occurred in 1995 when the chicken pox vaccine was grown in human fetal tissue.”</em></p>
<p>But that fact is never disclosed in your vaccine consent form, which is why most people are unaware that cell cultures derived from aborted human fetuses have been used extensively in vaccine production for decades. And vaccine makers are just content that most of the public are ignorant of this most inconvenient truth. For if we knew, we might be dissuaded from getting the vaccine.</p>
<p>Why are human fetal cells used in the production of vaccines? Joseph Herrin explains, in his August 14, 2009 article, “Hell’s Pharmacy”:</p>
<p><em>The traditional process is to inject viral material into chicken eggs and then to harvest the antibodies that are produced. This is a time intensive process, and a way to speed up the production of vaccine has been sought, and has been found.</em></p>
<p><strong><em>The foremost way to streamline the process involves taking human cells</em></strong><em>, instead of eggs, <strong>and using them as the medium in which to grow the viral material to produce the desired vaccine.</strong> [...] one company in particular has a line of cellular material that they license to other major pharmaceutical companies so that they can create pharmaceutical products. <strong>These products include flu vaccines.</strong></em></p>
<p><em>The company is called <strong>Crucell</strong>. It actually has multiple lines of human cell material, but one in particular, called <strong>PER.C6, is marketed to be used to develop vaccines</strong>. What the company does not announce publicly is that <strong>the cell line was derived from an aborted baby.</strong></em></p>
<p>According to <a href="http://www.soundchoice.org/certification.html">Sound Choice Pharmaceutical Institute</a> (SCPI), the following <strong>24 vaccines are produced using cells from aborted fetuses</strong> and/or contain DNA, proteins, or related cellular debris from cell cultures derived from aborted human fetuses:</p>

<p>Educational psychologist Dr. Susan Tyrrell <a href="http://www.lifenews.com/2011/12/13/do-you-know-if-your-food-or-vaccines-contain-aborted-cells/" target="_blank">reports for</a> LifeNews.com, Dec. 13, 2011, that Children of God for Life has produced a one-page list of fetal cell products that include food, cosmetics, and vaccines. Below is the list. You can also download the list in pdf format by <a href="http://cogforlife.org/fetalproductsall.pdf" target="_blank">clicking here.</a></p>

<p><strong>Other Cadbury Adams LLC Products:</strong><br />
• Certs breath mints<br />
• Halls Cough Drops</p>
<p><strong>Senomyx Products:</strong></p>
<p>Many of the above products manufactured by Pepsi, Cadbury, and Nestles, make use of additives developed by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senomyx" target="_blank">Senomyx</a>, an American biotechnology company that develops additives to amplify certain flavors and smells in foods. Senomyx’s <a href="http://www.senomyx.com/">website</a> claims that it has reverse engineered the receptors in humans that react for taste and aroma, and they are capitalizing on these discoveries to produce chemicals that will make food taste better.</p>
<p>Children of God for Life, citing the Senomyx paper “Human receptors for sweet and umami taste” in the <em>Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America</em>, claims Senomyx uses aborted fetal cells in its products and testing, making use of Human Embryonic Kidney 293 cells (<a title="HEK 293" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HEK_293">HEK 293</a>).</p>
<p>Senomyx has not denied this. The company lists several large corporate partners or “collaborators” on its website, such as PepsiCo and Nestle. <a title="Campbell Soup Company" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campbell_Soup_Company">Campbell Soup Company</a> was a Senomyx corporate partner, but recently ended its partnership after pro-life groups brought up the matter of the use of human fetal cells. The recommendation is to boycott all of Senomyx’s products.</p>
<p><strong>Neocutis Cosmetics:</strong></p>
<p>Neocutis is one company that uses Senomyx. The company  produces anti wrinkle creams that contain cells from a 14 week gestation aborted male baby. It is recommended that we boycott all Neocutis products, especially the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Bio-Gel Prevedem Journee</li>
<li>Bio-Serum Lumiere</li>
<li>Bio Restorative Skin Cream</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Vaccines Containing Aborted Fetal Cells And the Manufacturers:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>MMR II (Merck)</li>
<li>ProQuad (MMR + Chickenpox – Merck)</li>
<li>Varivax (Chickenpox – Merck)</li>
<li>Pentacel (Polio + DTaP + HiB – Sanofi Pasteur)</li>
<li>Vaqta (Hepatitis-A – Merck)</li>
<li>Havrix (Hepatitis-A – Glaxo SmithKline)</li>
<li>Twinrix (Hepatitis-A and B combo – Glaxo)</li>
<li>Zostavax (Shingles – Merck)</li>
<li>Imovax (Rabies – Sanofi Pasteur)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Other medicines:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Pulmozyme (Cystic Fibrosis – Genetech)</li>
<li>Enbrel (Rheumatoid Arthritis – Amgen)</li>
</ul>
<p>SCPI has a list of cosmetics that are similarly produced from aborted fetal tissue cell lines.</p>
<p>Even PepsiCo’s shareholders, who are not a religious or pro-life group, <a href="http://bound4life.com/blog/2011/10/26/pepsi-shareholders-file-sec-resolution-to-stop-using-aborted-babies-for-flavor-research" target="_blank">filed a resolution with the government office,</a> the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to demand they stop using fetal cell derived products because it was unnecessary and hurting business. You can find some general background on what we have called the “Industry of Death” .</p>
<p>The seasonal flu vaccine actually has a low rate of effectiveness, of about 6%. There is evidence that Vitamin D better protects us from the flu.  In fact, 70% of doctors and nurses, and <a href="http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/118582702/abstract?CRETRY=1&amp;SRETRY=0">62% of other health care workers do NOT get the yearly flu shot because:</a></p>
<ul>
<li>They don’t believe the vaccine would work</li>
<li>They believe their immune systems are strong enough to withstand exposure to the flu</li>
<li>They are concerned about side effects</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>In the end, we must ask ourselves two questions:</strong></p>
<p><strong>1. Is this necessary? No.</strong><br />
Animal cell lines produce vaccines and biologics as economically and effectively as the aborted fetal cell lines. Rejuvenating anti-aging creams and cosmetic products are available produced using animal and non-fetal materials. Moral options exist for Rabies, Polio, Rheumatoid Arthritis. Separate moral options currently are not available for Measles and Mumps.</p>
<p><strong>2. Is this safe? We don’t know. </strong><br />
Studies have not yet been done to determine the health consequences of injecting contaminating aborted fetal DNA and materials into our children, into our bodies, or into our skin.</p>

<p>Amino acids are often described as one of the building blocks of human life. Amino acids are a group of 20 organic acids (containing carbon), each of which has nitrogen and hydrogen atoms in its construction.</p>
<p>Amino acids are most numerous chemicals in the body. Amino acids are present in the thousands of different proteins that are employed within the body to construct and maintain its muscles, skin, bone, and organs. Proteins are also required in the manufacture of hormones, the chemical-signaling agents secreted in the various glands that constitute the body&#8217;s endocrine system, controlled by the thyroid gland. Proteins are also the key ingredient in the formation of collagen, the elastic tissue that permits the ligaments, tendons, and all connective tissues of the body their range of movement.</p>
<p>Of the 20 amino acids utilized in a variety of body functions and processes, nine acids are classed as essential amino acids. These chemicals are not capable of being produced or synthesized within the body, and each must be obtained through dietary sources. The remainder are classed as nonessential amino acids, substances that are manufactured within the body, chiefly through the action of the liver.</p>
<p>Amino acid supplements are a part of the broader range of protein supplements used by some athletes to obtain specific training advantages. Sports that place a premium on muscle mass and strength, such as weightlifting, wrestling, American football, and various track and field events such as the shotput, are those athletes often seek to gain the perceived benefits of additional amino acids to assist them in their strength training.</p>
<p>The theory in support of amino acid supplements is straightforward in its reasoning. A traditional balanced diet will be composed of 60-65% carbohydrates, 12-15% protein, and less than 30% fats, in addition to proper vitamins, minerals, and an ample supply of phytochemicals consumed as a part of the carbohydrate/protein/fat regime. Athletes endeavoring to build greater strength will often correspondingly increase the amount of protein; the desired amino acids will be extracted from these protein sources through the digestive and absorption process. Proteins are not created equal; not all protein sources contain the same amounts or quality of protein, as measured by the quality of the amino acids contained in the food. In the assessment of protein quality, the amino acid structure of an egg is the standard against which all proteins are measured. Athletes who use protein supplements will seek an increase in both the quantity of amino acids ingested, as well as a high quality protein to supply the best and most useful amino acids.</p>
<p>It is a cardinal rule of the twin sciences of diet and nutrition that all macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) and micronutrients (all vitamins and most minerals) are most efficiently absorbed into the body through food, as the body is constructed to best receive and absorb these substances through digestion. On that basis, a protein supplement is an inferior means by which to consume proteins.</p>
<p>The secondary issue concerning amino acid supplements is the linear assumption that if the athlete wishes to build more muscle, the athlete will require more protein to be metabolized into amino acid. The modern trend in sports science is directed away from significantly increased amino acid consumption. The formation of additional muscle tissues in response to training demands can be achieved through increases of amino acids consumption of less than 5%.</p>
<p>Excess amino acids are not stored within the body in the manner of fats (through adipose tissue) or carbohydrates (either through glycogen or through conversion to fats). The body tends to dispose of excess amino acids through the breakdown of the acid and disposal through the renal system. Protein breakdown creates urea, which precipitates stress on the renal system.</p>
<p>Amino acid supplements carry all of the other risks inherent in any form of dietary supplementation. Unless the product is obtained from a known and proven source (or the athlete has the means to test the product themselves, an unlikely proposition), supplementation carries with it an element of risk. The risks assumed are both legal and physiological.</p>
<p>The legal risks for an elite athlete in the use of amino acid supplements is the history, within the industry, of adding substances to the formulation that are either not disclosed to the consumer or are disguised in the packaging. Studies conducted in the United States after 2000 determined that up to 25% of the tested protein or amino acid supplements contained forms of anabolic steroids, or anabolic steroid prohormones (precursors)—chemicals that facilitate the production of testosterone in the body. Such substances are clearly added to supplements by manufacturers to promote greater strength and weight gains among its users, all of which would be attributed to the &#8220;legal&#8221; ingredients listed on the commercial packaging.</p>
<p>The consumption of hidden anabolic products may pose a significant health hazard to consumers. If an elite athlete were the subject of a doping test and failed the test on the basis of these unknown additives, the prevailing legal view of anti-doping agencies worldwide is that of strict liability on the part of the athletes: they will be generally held accountable for anything that they ingest into their bodies.</p>

<p>Getting all the nutrition your body needs on a daily basis is a real challenge.  I don&#8217;t know about you but I do not eat all fresh fruits and veggies in there raw pristine form everyday.  Do you?  Fortunately, I drink my Organic Greens and Fruits.  It has 9 servings of organic produce in every serving. I have written a little article to outline what is going on in the &#8220;supplement&#8221; industry.</p>
<p>Click here to order your <a title="Organic Greens and Fuits Powder" href="http://www.protocolsupplements.com/Shop/organic-greens-and-fruits-c-11.html" target="_blank">Organic Greens Drink.</a></p>
<p>Malnutrition is on the rise today, even with an increase in food consumption. The supplement industry has grown so large because the nutrient levels in our fruits and vegetables has gone down so far.Even the fresh food we get today is not as nutrition as it was even 30 years ago.Many diets consist of highly processed, prepackaged foods that contain fillers, preservatives and artificial chemicals.To get proper nutrition you must eat a diet filled with lots of fresh vegetables, whole grains and whole foods.Can you see now why companies that sell nutritional products are doing so well?<br />
You may be taking vitamin or mineral supplements yourself.  Although the use of nutritional supplements has increased, the increase of disease has gone up right along with it.  Does this mean that taking supplements doesn&#8217;t work?<br />
The good news is that not all supplements are created the same.  Are you getting your nutrients from whole foods or synthetic tablets?</p>
<p>The human body was not made to use synthetic supplements, our bodies are designed to use real food. In fact many people are not aware that their bodies are not able to use the vitamins they take.Whole food supplements nourish your body in a holistic way.They contain trace minerals, phyto-nutrients and other elements that aid in vitamin digestion and absorption.Drinking adequate water also plays a significant part in nutrition.  If you don&#8217;t have enough water in your system your body simply can&#8217;t absorb the nutrients effectively form the food you eat.The main problem with synthetic, also known as &#8220;fake&#8221;, nutrients is that they are often in forms your body just is not able to utilize at the cellular level and if they can not enter the cellular membrane, they do your body no good.A super food is a term for super green powders containing Spirulina, Chlorella, Kelp and other green vegetables.  The single best reason for using this powder, organic form of nutrition is that it is easily absorbed by the body.The great thing about an organic greens powder is that there are no pills to breakdown.<br />
Cheap food usually means low nutrition value (fast food), so eating more of it will not necessarily give you more nutrition, but it will make you fat.<br />
Whole grains, seasonal vegetables and organic homegrown produce was how we humans ate for tens of thousands of years.It was not until the industrial revolution that the way food was produced underwent a serious change.The growing, farming, and manufacturing practices shifted during this time.This change also brought forth the rise in supplemental nutrition.<br />
Consuming a high quality organic whole food product makes much more sense than a handful of pills. It doesn&#8217;t matter how many you take if your body can&#8217;t use them.The best form of vitamins and minerals are found in organic super green food powders.Because whole foods contain such a high amount of trace elements, your body reps all the benefits.  Are you ready to feel the effects of an organic green super food today?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>This is a great article written by Dr. Mercola&#8230;enjoy</strong><em></p>
<p>Is your meat made of scraps stuck together with “meat glue”? This exposé reveals how you may be being deceived about the meat you buy &#8212; and why the dangerous practice makes food poisoning hundreds of times more likely.</p>
<p>Dr. Mercola&#8217;s Comments:</p>
<p>    If you are still on the fence, wondering if you should make the switch to organic, grass-fed beef from a local farm instead of the mass-produced variety from your local supermarket, perhaps this news brief from the Australian Today Tonight show will help change your mind.</p>
<p>    If you haven&#8217;t yet seen the video, please click through and be ready to be amazed.</p>
<p>    By now most people probably realize that ground beef contains the meat from hundreds of animals from different parts of the world, but few would ever suspect that the same can be true for prime cut steaks! Well, that&#8217;s possible through the use of so-called meat glue, used to &#8220;super-glue&#8221; small chunks of meat together that are too small to sell, and passing it off as prime cuts&#8230;</p>
<p>What is Meat Glue?</p>
<p>    Meat glue is an enzyme called transglutaminase. Some meat glues are produced through the cultivation of bacteria, while others are made from the blood plasma of pigs and cows, specifically the coagulant that makes blood clot.</p>
<p>    When sprinkled on a protein, such as beef, it forms cross-linked, insoluble protein polymers that essentially acts like a super-glue, binding the pieces together with near invisible seams. The glue-covered meat is rolled up in plastic film, followed by refrigeration. Some manufacturers have gotten so proficient in the practice that even an expert butcher can&#8217;t tell the difference between a piece of prime beef and one that&#8217;s been glued together with bits and pieces of scraps!</p>
<p>    Meat glue is also used for:</p>
<p>Pork / ham 	Lamb 	Fish products such as fish balls<br />
Chicken 	Imitation crab meat 	Processed meats</p>
<p>    Interestingly enough, Ajinomoto is one of the leaders in transglutaminase. You may recognize that name as they are also one of the leaders in aspartame. According to their website, transglutaminase is also used to &#8220;improve the general texture&#8221; of a variety of foods aside from meat, such as fat-free yogurt and cheese.</p>
<p>Meat Glue—Both Unethical and Potentially Dangerous</p>
<p>    First, there&#8217;s the obvious issue of misleading consumers. Since food manufacturers are not required to disclose what they&#8217;ve done, you think you&#8217;re buying a prime cut when in fact you&#8217;re paying top dollar for glued-together bits and pieces that would otherwise have been discarded or sold for a fraction of the cost.</p>
<p>    But aside from the fact that it&#8217;s a pure scam, there&#8217;s the increased possibility of contracting food poisoning from these meats.</p>
<p>    According to the featured report, the bacterial contamination of meat glued steak is hundreds of times higher than a solid piece of steak! Hence, if you cook your steak rare, which is the healthiest way to cook your meat, you&#8217;re at a much greater risk of contracting food poisoning.</p>
<p>    Additionally, when an outbreak does occur, it&#8217;s difficult, if not impossible, to discern the source of the contamination, as chunks of meat from multiple cows have now been combined.</p>
<p>    Food poisoning is a serious problem in the US. According to US CDC estimates, anywhere between 6 to 81 million Americans contract food borne illnesses each year, and food poisoning claims up to 9,000 lives annually. Considering the fact that our current food system encourages pathogens and contamination&#8217;s of all kinds, it&#8217;s not all that surprising that as many as one in four people get sickened each year…</p>
<p>The Dangers of Mass Food Production</p>
<p>    Many people are still in the dark about the vast differences between Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) and organically-raised, grass-fed beef, both in terms of contamination and nutrient content.</p>
<p>    It&#8217;s important to understand that when you raise animals in a CAFO &#8212; away from their natural environments and diets – you dramatically increase the risk of pathogenic contamination that can make you ill. Just take a look at the 2011 USDA list of recalls for various meat products. We&#8217;re not even half-way through the year and the list is already a long one.</p>
<p>    Most CAFO cows are fed grains (oftentimes genetically modified grains, which make matters even worse), when their natural diet is plain grass. Grain diets create a much higher level of acidity in the animal&#8217;s stomach, which E. coli bacteria need to survive.</p>
<p>    Meanwhile, E. coli contamination is actually quite rare in organic beef for this reason—the cows just aren&#8217;t susceptible to those kinds of disease-causing bacteria and viruses when they eat what they were designed to eat.</p>
<p>    You&#8217;d think that since the meat is being raised in ways that are known to encourage disease-causing organisms, there would be stringent requirements on testing. Unfortunately, that&#8217;s not the case. For example, there is no federal requirement for meat grinders to test their ingredients for E.coli prior to selling them. And most retailers do not test either. In August 2008, the USDA issued a guideline urging meat processors to test their ingredients before grinding. But the guideline is only optional and has been met with criticism and resistance from the meat industry.</p>
<p>Other Health-Harming Side Effects of Mass Food Production</p>
<p>    Modern mass production of food has created a wide array of safety problems. And the methods employed to make food &#8220;safer&#8221; typically deepens rather than solves them. In fact, once you delve into the world of the food industry, it becomes clear that eating much of it is like playing a game of Russian roulette with your health.</p>
<p>    While I&#8217;m not going to address them all here, one problem in particular, which relates to the issue of meat, is the issue of contamination with hormones, antibiotics, and pesticides. As much as 70 percent of all antibiotics used in the U.S. are for animals, primarily to serve as growth enhancers. The excessive use of antibiotics in agriculture is the primary reason for the rampant increase in antibiotic-resistant disease in humans.</p>
<p>    As for pesticides, most people do not realize that conventionally-raised meat is actually one of the primary sources of pesticide exposure—not fruits and vegetables!</p>
<p>    How&#8217;s that?</p>
<p>    Again, it goes back to the fact that CAFO animals are raised on a diet consisting primarily of grains, which are of course sprayed with pesticides.</p>
<p>    Genetically modified (GM) grains are another growing problem. Not only are they sprayed with MORE pesticides than conventional crops, but we also do not know exactly what the health effects on humans might be when you eat meat raised on GM grains.</p>
<p>    However, in an open letter to Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, Dr. Don Huber, professor emeritus at Purdue University, warns that a never-before-seen plant pathogen in Roundup Ready GM soybean and corn appears to be responsible for high rates of infertility and miscarriages in cattle.</p>
<p>    In the letter, posted on the Farm and Ranch Freedom Alliance website, Dr. Huber states:</p>
<p>        &#8220;This previously unknown organism is only visible under an electron microscope (36,000X), with an approximate size range equal to a medium size virus. It is able to reproduce and appears to be a micro-fungal-like organism. If so, it would be the first such micro-fungus ever identified. There is strong evidence that this infectious agent promotes diseases of both plants and mammals, which is very rare.</p>
<p>        &#8230; Laboratory tests have confirmed the presence of this organism in a wide variety of livestock that have experienced spontaneous abortions and infertility. Preliminary results from ongoing research have also been able to reproduce abortions in a clinical setting.</p>
<p>        The pathogen may explain the escalating frequency of infertility and spontaneous abortions over the past few years in US cattle, dairy, swine, and horse operations. These include recent reports of infertility rates in dairy heifers of over 20%, and spontaneous abortions in cattle as high as 45%.&#8221;</p>
<p>    Whether or not this could affect humans who consume these grains or meats raised on them is yet unknown, but I wouldn&#8217;t be the least surprised if that&#8217;s exactly what we&#8217;ll eventually find&#8230;</p>
<p>Meat Glue May Be the Least of Your Problems when it Comes to Processed Meats</p>

<p><strong>The benefits of including organic green superfoods into your diet are well known</strong>.  The farming practices over the last 175 years has done more to reduce the nutritional value of the food grown than in any time in our history.  It all started in the 1850&#8242;s with chemical fertilizers.  These inorganic compounds made the food grow real big and real fast, unfortunately it also deprived the soil of it&#8217;s ability to convert inorganic metallic minerals into ORGANIC minerals that are so important to our overall health.  The conventional farming industry is a business, and as a business it&#8217;s main concern is a profit (well, isn&#8217;t that the main concern of any business?) at whatever cost.  Well, what they found was these chemical fertilizers were cost effective and could in a greater yield in the same amount of time.  This was great for the farmer, but what about the consumer (you and me)? Isn&#8217;t it  high time you and I start taking some responsibility with our food choices and the places we spend our dollars.  Choose locally grown food in your area at the many farmers markets that are popping up in many cities.  They provide produce often picked within a couple of days, as apposed to the apples you may be buying from Chili that were picked green weeks ago so that by the time they make it to your local market, they are the right color.  There are many reactions that occur during the last stages of the ripening process and if it is pick early, those process are cut short and the food never gets to finish it&#8217;s growth to maturity.  I have included some more fun facts in the rest of this article.</p>

<p>Although many people&#8217;s calorie intake has increased, there is still rampant malnutrition in our country.  What has given rise to a multi billion nutritional supplement business is because most people believe that if they eat a lot of food they receive plenty of nutrition.  The fact that nearly two thirds of Americans take some type of vitamin supplement regularly shows that people already know their diets are lacking in nutrition.  Since food quality has diminished so much over the last few decades, the nutrition has become very profitable.   Food grown today does not have near the nutrition it once had.  The modern American diet is filled with food that is pre-packaged and filled with chemicals and preservatives.  In order to get the right nutrition out of your food, it should consist of mainly whole, organic foods.  Nutritional supplements are huge moneymakers.<br />
Hopefully you are using supplements to improve your overall health.  Yes, even as the use of supplements has grown the level of diseases has not dropped.  In fact many rates have increased.  Might this mean that nutritional supplements are doing what they are supposed to?<br />
Not all nutritional supplements are the same.  There are two diferent types of nutrients you can buy, those created by nature and synthetic.  Your body was not designed to gleen it&#8217;s nutrition from synthesized vitamins, it has a highly complex system that removes and absorbs what it needs form food.  In fact many people are not aware that their bodies are not able to use the vitamins they take.  The best way to feed your body the nutrients it needs in a complete way is by using total food supplements.  These nutrient sources are full of vitamins, minerals, and the co-factors that are usually absent from synthetic supplements.  You must also bring in adequate amounts of good old H2O to let your nutrition work the way it is supposed to.  Water is an important key for your body being able to absorb the nutrients.  Synthesized vitamins are not necessarily used by your body even if you take them regularly.  A &#8220;suprefood&#8221; on the other hand is a nutrient rich source of vitamins and mierals taken from organic greens, organic fruits, chlorella, and other natural sources and are converted into super greens powder mixes you add to water.  The primary advantage of using this form of nutritional supplement is that the nutrition in this powder is easily and immediately digested and used by your body.  Organic green powders are the best choice because there are no tablets to break down and there are no binders or fiilers to slow down or hamper absorbtion.</p>
<p>We have, up until the last number of decades, had access to much higher quality foods that were not poisoned with industrial insecticides, we ate local organic produce.  A hundred years ago, the American diet was changed to a mass production style of farming. The shift away from traditional farming practices resulted in a change in growing, processing, delivery, and chemical applications for virtually everyone.  The rise of the nutrition industry and organic green powders was brought about by these changes.<br />
It stands to reason that a whole food supplement would give your body much more nutrition than a pill or caplet.  If your body can&#8217;t absorb the nutrients, it will do you no good.  Super green food powders can deliver a very high quality of vitamins, minerals, and other co-factors.  Since it is made from real food, you get much more out of it.  Are you ready to feel the effects of an organic green super food today?  If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me at<a href="http://www.protocolsupplements.com/Shop/contact_us.html" target="_blank"><strong> Protocol Supplements</strong></a></p>

A: Essential Amino Acids are nutrients that are indispensable for human life because they cannot be synthesized within the human body, therefore, they must be supplied through the diet.   Q: Are amino acids from animal or vegetable source?   A: Amino acids cannot be classified as either animal or vegetable. They are, simply, natural compounds.  Q: What is the daily recommended dosage of MAP for an athlete to get the best results in the shortest time?   A: Even though individual dosage may vary according to nutritional status, age, gender, and the intensity and frequency of physical activity, the average suggested daily dosage should be:  ? For the professional athlete: 10 tablets of MAP, 30 minutes before training, in conjunction with the daily requirement of vitamins, minerals and trace elements. And an additional 10 tablets of MAP to be taken 30 minutes before the next meal (lunch or dinner).   Q: It has been said that during an athletic performance the use of MAP may optimize muscle mass, strength and endurance, and may minimize the muscle recovery period after physical activity, is that true for everybody?   A: Yes. Whether, you are 15 or 75 years old, an amateur or a professional athlete, you may experience positive results related to your muscle mass, strength and endurance. The results may vary, of course, according to your age, gender, health status, and the intensity and frequency of your workout.   Q: Is MAP a natural product?   A: Yes, MAP is a 100% natural product.   Q: How long does it take to digest MAP?   A: MAP is digested within 23 minutes from its ingestion.    Q: Does MAP have any drug or food interaction?   A: No. MAP does not have any drug or food interaction. However, before taking MAP or other dietary supplements consult your physician.   Q: May protein supplements be taken with MAP?   A: No. Protein supplements should not be taken in conjunction with MAP. This may prevent:   - a lowering of BPS/min;   - an increase in the nitrogen catabolites; and   - an overloading of digestive functions  Q: How long do you have to use MAP to be able to feel or measure positive results?   A: Results may vary. However, you may be able to feel or measure an increase in muscle endurance after the first or second time using MAP (in the suggested dosage). Meanwhile, you may be able to measure an increase in muscle strength after the first or second week using MAP (in the suggested dosage). Later on, by using MAP, during physical activity, you may be experiencing, week after week, an increase in muscle mass, strength and endurance, joined with a shortened recovery period after physical activity. Eventually you may realize that this dramatic improvement is not the result of a &quot;psychological effect&quot; but has indeed been caused by a natural physiological effect." target="_blank">Buy Master Amino Pattern Now</a></strong></p>
<p>CLINICAL STUDIES<br />
The results of a comparative, double-blind, triple crossover Net Nitrogen Utilization (NNU) clinical study have shown that the subjects, while taking MAP®, as a dietary proteins substitute, achieved a body’s 99% NNU. This means that 99% of MAP’s constituent amino acids followed the anabolic pathway, thus acting as precursor of body’s protein synthesis. By comparison, dietary proteins only provide between 16 to 48% NNU. This fact evidences that MAP is more nutritious than dietary proteins. This has been confirmed by the fact that during the study, each subject body’s nitrogen balance was maintained in equilibrium by taking MAP, as a sole and total substitute of dietary proteins, in a dosage of only 400 mg/kg/day, which provided less than 2 kcal/day (1g MAP= 0.04 Kcal). The study results have also shown that 1% of MAP’s constituent amino acids followed the catabolic pathway, thus releasing only 1% of nitrogen catabolites and energy. By comparison dietary proteins release between 52% to 84% nitrogen catabolites and energy. This fact evidences that MAP is safer than dietary proteins, and that provides the lowest amount of energy in comparison to any dietary protein.</p>
<p>What is an Amino Acid?<br />
Hydrogen, oxygen, Carbon and Nitrogen<br />
Protein is made up of the elements of Hydrogen, Oxygen &amp; Carbon; but it also contains, Nitrogen, and this element is what allows protein to repair and build cells. [Braverman] Amino acids are the molecules that make up protein; these contain carbon, oxygen and hydrogen together with molecules that contain, nitrogen.</p>
<p>The Liver produces about 60% of the amino acids needed by the body, which leaves 40% to be supplied by diet, the Essential Amino Acids. Some of the non-essential aminos made by the body can in some cases be conditionally essential (for example, Histidine, Tyrosine and Taurine are conditionally essential during early growth), cases of disease or stress.</p>
<p>How Much?<br />
The starkest example of the body&#8217;s need of protein can be seen in starvation cases (distended bellies, atrophied muscles, mental retardation), which cases prove the vital importance of protein and amino acids.</p>
<p>There is no standard measure of the daily requirement for protein. To determine the need for essential amino acids requires determining how much protein we need. Minimun requirements would be the sum of all essential aminos, plus sufficient Nitrogen for protein metabolism and synthesis. The body excretes nitrogen in the metabolism of protein and bodily discharges as well as in the hair and nails; protein metabolism (break down &amp; assimilation)requires a balance between nitrogen excreted and nitrogen assimilated (the balance in MAP/SON is 1:99).</p>
<p>WHO recommends 3 &#8211; 4 g. per kilo of body weight per day (30 &#8211; 40 g for an adult man of 150 lbs.). But this measure is not self-explanatory: it assumes the protein is of the highest quality, containing all or most of the essential amino acids. Deficiencies of Vitamins and Minerals, especially vitamin C and B6 important to the absorption &amp; delivery of amino acids can also contribute to deficiencies of essential amino acids.</p>
<p>Amino Acids should be consumed everyday. In fact, one writer states that Protein should be included in every meal, including snacks [Perricone]. This makes sense: protein provides power for regeneration &amp; repair. Deficiencies in essential amino acids lead eventually to disease or death. Animal protein is considered &#8220;high quality&#8221; because it contains all the essential amino acids, plus some non-essential ones [Braverman]. But, eating a Variety of different vegetable &amp; fruits can also provide all the essential aminos; one obviously has to select for amino acids content.</p>

<p>WHAT IS IT?<br />
An Amino Acids Protein Subsitute<br />
SON Formula/MAP is a formulation of the eight Essential amino acids arranged in the same ratio as exists in nature (food) and is pre-digested (free form) to utilize 99% of its amino content.</p>
<p>And the problem for many of us who, because of age or illness, eating preferences or digestive disorders, is that we cannot utilize protein from food very well. Pre-digested SON Formula/MAP is the solution.</p>
<p>Food protein digestion and metabolism put a load on the kidneys and liver because food protein when broken down produces a lot of waste. The amount of waste, depending on the protein source, can be as little as 52% of what&#8217;s eaten and as much as 82%.</p>
<p>If you eat a whole egg, for example, 48% of its protein content can be utilized for its amino acids. The remaining 52% is metabolic waste that has to be excreted by the kidneys, liver and intestines. Eggs are Nature&#8217;s best protein source (don&#8217;t believe the guff about cholesterol, it simply isn&#8217;t true).</p>
<p>So, what does the amino acids content of protein do? Look below, but it&#8217;s not all about muscle; it&#8217;s about bones and teeth and tendons. too, as well as joints and ligaments. But this is just a partial list. Your body makes its own protein from amino acids for every kind of body tissue in every organ, bone and muscle in your body.</p>
<p>MAP&#8217;s patented formula will result in:</p>
<p>•optimized muscle mass<br />
•optimized muscle strength<br />
•optimized muscle endurance<br />
•provide a faster and more<br />
efficient recovery after physical activity<br />
MAP® BPS/min is 99% NNU/ 23 min. By comparison the most nutritious dietary proteins and protein supplements have BPS/min of 16-32% NNU/180-360 min. This means that the BPS/min of dietary proteins and protein supplements is 24 to 96 times lower compared to MAP®.</p>

</strong></p>
<p>I just ran into this product Master Amino Acid Pattern, in the wee hours of the morning doing the random research on Anti-aging and Age Reversal. The facts about this supplement that struck a lightening bolt through me were that fact that it is 99% Nitrogen utilized, and generates only 1% waste. I knew immediately what this meant; that there would be no amino acid toxicity which is the main problem with over-consumption of Protein. Back in the day, when I was lifting heavy, I would overload on protein shakes and I did make muscle gains, but at the expense of my overall health.<br />
I had an acid buildup in my throat at time and I would get sick easier from the toxicity overload. After, a while I would stop because the reactions were too much and were counter-productive in the long run. It did not fit in with my over-all plan to regenerate the body. The problem lay in the waste side effect generated by not only supplements 80% on average, but also food. Typically, 68% of protein from meat, chicken and fish are not utilized by the body for building new tissue. There is not much return on investment from an efficiency point of view with traditional protein intake. With MAP, the protein is absorbed directly into the lymph in 23 minutes and does not go through the normal processing route that ends up being absorbed through the small intestine. This pre-digested protein is fully utilized in the process of building new tissue immediately. After sending an email to Dr. Grandi about the product, I received a phone call from him and we talked for over a hour about the implications of his product for Age regression. The product is traditionally being marketed as an athletic supplement, which is a venue that I have ignored even though I come from a background where I was involved with competitive athletics and am trained as a massage therapist. I worked in a personal training gym for over ten years, but simply ignored the protein supplements as having much value for anti-aging purposes.<br />
What I have realized that I was correct in this thinking with the exception of MAP. MAP is absolutely unique because it is completely absorbed into the bloodstream with zero energy expense from processing. It is like free energy for the body! The number one cause of free-radical consumption is food processing and breathing. We cannot do much with the damage caused from breathing, but MAP helps alleviate the damage from food processing. The most dramatic story he had about the supplement is a 72 year old came in for a bench press fitness test of 80lbs. After only 3 weeks on the supplement, he benched 172lbs! Another woman who is in her late 60′s who has been on the supplement for less than a year, is now back to wearing bikinis and people swear she is in her early 50′s. From my limited personal experience with the product, I have seen muscle mass gains and a loss of virtually all body fat. You lose that middle age pouch on this supplement and start to gain the look you had at your peak. The skin regenerates as well, this has happened to me in only 10 days on the supplement. My skin is taking on the firm waxy look that I had in youth and it is very soft now. I realize this is simply because I now have sufficient quality protein to re-build my body faster than it is being broken down. I realize now that simply one of the problems of aging is the inefficiencies of metabolism. As we get older, our ability to process food degrades. Older people especially have a hard time. MAP solves this problem for all age groups.<br />
I have been getting increases in telomere length from products such as RNA regenerator and the Ascensionenergyprogram.com, but was not getting the sufficient raw materials to re-make the body. The problem with calorie restriction is that you need protein to keep up the replacement of cells and MAP solves that problem. It is simply the most astounding supplement I have ever run across since the days of Shaklee.<br />
The nutrition is sucked up immediately into the blood stream and goes to work at first detoxifying and then later re-building all forms of tissue from internal organs to the skin. With MAP, you now have the quality raw materials to re-invent yourself!</p>

<p>The misconception that more food means better nutrition has given rise to a billion dollar supplement industry.  There are nearly 70% of the people in this country, who know their diets are lacking in nutrition, are turning to supplements to fill the void.  The supplement industry has grown so large because the nutrient levels in our fruits and vegetables has gone down so far.  Food grown today does not have near the nutrition it once had.  Today&#8217;s eating regimens consist mainly of chemical laced packaged food.  Organic fruits and vegetables plus whole grains and foods in their natural state leads to proper nutrition.  It is safe to say that supplements are big profit centers.</p>
<p>Hopefully you are using supplements to improve your overall health.  Yes, even as the use of supplements has grown, the level of diseases has NOT dropped.  In fact many rates have increased.  Some would say that supplements are doing what they should to curb bad health.</p>
<p>Behold, not all supplements are the same.  There are two different types of nutrients you can buy, those created by nature and synthetic.  The human body was not made to use synthetic supplements, our bodies are designed to use real food.  A good deal of the vitamins on the market do not have very good cellular permeability.  The important thing to understand here is that supplements that are food derived feed your body in a holistic manner.  They contain trace minerals, phytonutrients and other elements that aid in vitamin digestion and absorption.  The consumption of the proper amount of water is a vital part of any nutrition plan.  Water is an important key for your body being able to absorb the nutrients.  Synthetic supplements, a good deal of the time, are not recognized by the body and are therefore simply excreted as waste.  A term coined is that of the &#8220;Superfood&#8221;, derived from organic fruits and vegetables, super green foods, and some sea derived vegetation like kelp that is abundant in high quality minerals.  The primary advantage of using this form of nutritional supplement is that the nutrition in this powder is easily and immediately digested and used by your body.  The great thing about an organic greens powder is that there are no pills to breakdown.</p>

<p>Cheap food usually means low nutrition value (fast food), so eating more of it will not necessarily give you more nutrition, but it will make you fat.  Whole grains, seasonal vegetables and organic homegrown produce was how we humans ate for tens of thousands of years.  A hundred years ago, the American diet was changed to a mass production style of farming.  The shift away from traditional farming practices resulted in a change in growing, processing, delivery, and chemical applications for virtually everyone.</p>
<p>The rise of the nutrition industry and organic green powders, has helped to bring about by these changes.  Consuming a high quality organic whole food product makes much more sense than a handful of pills.  If your body can&#8217;t absorb the nutrients, it will do you no good.  The best form of vitamins and minerals are found in organic super green food powders.  Because it is a whole food it also contains other elements that assist your body.  Are you ready to feel the effects of an organic green super food today?</p>
<p>Yours in health,<br />

<p>What I am about to do now is explain in as simple way as possible information that most of the nutrition world is still in the dark ages about&#8230;i will do this without a net&#8230;drum roll please!  There are 2 main components to dietary protein, anabolic and catabolic potential/activity.  Anabolic means to build and catabolic means to breakdown.  O.K., that was the easy part.  There is something called the Net Nitrogen Utilization (NNU) that is attributed to every dietary protein.  What is NNU?  Great question, it is the total amount of nitrogen that can be taken up to support, grow, and repair muscle tissue.  The higher the NNU, the more anabolic the protein.   Hen eggs have the highest NNU of any with 42%.   This means that the other 58% of the egg is catabolic waste, nitrogen metabolites, and fiber.  Here is where it starts to get a little tricky.  Since Master Amino Pattern has an NNU of 99.8%, a little goes a long way.  Each MAP is 1 gram and 10  MAP is 10 grams, so 10 MAP based on it&#8217;s NNU will have the same anabolic equivalent of a 14 ounce steak with none of the drawback of digestion, calories, and waste.  This can serve many different uses.  For vegan/vegetarians, it is a complete source of amino acids for muscle support and function.  For those that have digestive issues, it is a passive delivery system because it is pre-digested and in the bloodstream in 23 minutes.  For athletes and bodybuilders, you use an amount that is required to support your level of training.  If you have any questions regarding any thing in this article, or for that matter, anything in general, feel free to contact me.</p>
