raw goji berriesWhy NOT Drink Milk?
It seems that the general consensus is that milk is good for you. From supermodels to professional athletes with milk mustaches, �milk does a body good.� But does it really?
No, it doesn�t! Milk is not meant to be consumed once we have been weaned. But we have these millions of cows around producing milk so what else are we supposed to do with all this excess milk except to pawn it off on the unknowing consumer? Milk, was created for the sole purpose of providing a newborn with quick access to nourishment to help in its development until it is ready for solid foods. Once a baby has been weaned there is no further need for milk. In fact, in all mammals, once an infant has been weaned, the mother stops producing milk. The only case where this is not true is with dairy cows that are forced to provide milk. In fact, once a calf has been weaned, a cow will not drink milk! We don�t see wolves in the wild drinking milk, nor squirrels, nor rabbits. In fact, humans are the only mammals that continue to drink milk after they have been weaned! And we don�t even drink human milk! We drink the milk from a cow! How preposterous! Why cows? Because they are large animals, docile, and they can produce lots of milk.
We could just as easily be drinking dog�s milk, or cat�s milk, or rabbit�s milk. Except that you�d need a lot of cats or rabbits to produce enough milk to pour over your cereal or to make a half-gallon of ice cream.
In fact, cow�s milk isn�t even close to human milk when it comes to ingredients. Human babies are unique in that they require large amounts of linoleic acid. Mother�s milk contains large amounts of linoleic acid. It helps baby�s brain grow and helps the baby develop. Mother�s milk has six to ten times the amount of linoleic acid! And to make matters worse, skim milk from a cow has no linoleic acid! So much for giving your baby a head start!
There are also marked difference in the protein and mineral content of mother�s milk vs. cow�s milk. Cow�s milk has much more protein than mother�s milk. This is because a calf needs to grow into a cow! A human baby needs to grow into a toddler, not a cow! In fact, cow�s milk has three to four times more protein than a human baby needs. Cow�s milk also have five to seven times more minerals than mother�s milk. Again, that little calf needs to grow into a healthy cow or steer. Our little babies only need to grow into little children, not big heifers!
So milk is not milk! Nature designed milk to be animal-specific. Cow�s milk is perfect for a calf to grow into a cow; cat�s milk is perfect for her little kittens; dog�s milk is just right for puppies; and of course, mother�s milk is perfectly designed for little babies.

The Incredible Edible Lobster
Ever wonder what lobsters eat, or why they are red? How about the right way to cook them and what that green stuff is? Here�s some interesting facts about our favorite summer meal.
We love to eat them, but what do they eat? Lobsters crawl around the bottom of the sea hunting for food at night. Although they will eat dead food, they subsist primarily on crabs, clams, fish, mussels and sea urchins - they eat over 100 different types of seafood and plants. They live in rocky areas off the coast and hide in the rocks and seaweed during the day and forage at night. Lobsters can live to be 140 years or more and can travel 100 miles in a year!
Once interesting thing about lobsters is their coloring. Of course, when we picture them we think of them as being red but that is only after they are cooked. When alive they are greenish brown, blue, yellow and even white. There actually are some reddish colored ones too, but the bright red that we think of is only after they are cooked.
Lobsters molt (shed their shell) in order to grow. Lobsters can also regenerate their claws, legs and antennae, but did you know that they can drop a leg or claw at will and walk away to regenerate another one later?
And what about cooking? Should you boil them or is that cruel? Contrary to popular belief they do not have vocal cords so they won't scream when you plunge them into boiling water! And the best way to cook them is to boil or steam them, but don�t overcook or the meat will be rubbery.
Inside a lobster is some interesting stuff. Aside from the sweet white meat, lobsters have other strange substances in unusual colors! You may find that when you first open your lobster, there is a white goopy stuff between the meat and the shells - this is their blood (it is clear while they are alive and turns white when cooked). It has no taste and is harmless so you can either wash it off or eat it!
And what about the icky green stuff inside the body? That's the lobsters liver or digestive system. Commonly called tomalley, it is safe to eat but since it is the liver it would most likely be the waste basket for all the toxins circulating through the creature so you may want to just discard it and move on to the good stuff.
And the red stuff? A female lobster carries it's unfertilized eggs, or roe, under the tail. These are a bright red or coral color and are safe to eat and even considered a delicacy by some.

Aspartame Side Effects - Are You Sick Or Just Toxic?
Aspartame first arrived with FDA approval in 1981. And today is in many of the foods and drinks you regularly purchase. This chemical sweetener, also sold by the trade names, Nutrisweet and Equal, breaks down into aspartic acid, phenylalanine and methanol. Methanol breaks down further into formaldehyde.
Formaldehyde is found in embalming fluid. Ouch. This chemical is digested by the human body then circulates through the entire body. The byproducts then deposit in the tissues and create an array of symptoms.
The cumulative effects of this chemical has assaulted our health and health care systems. The damage caused by this man made food additive is seen to affect every body system...

And that's just the symptoms. This chemical can also cause symptoms of some serious diseases...

-Lyme Disease
-Alzheimer's
-ALS
-Epilepsy
-MS
-Grave's Disease
-Fibromyalgia

-non-Hodgkins Lymphoma
-ADD
The toxicity of aspartame is the root cause of these problems. So to actually find a disease and identify it, may not happen. You see, with no actual disease process occurring, tests could very well come back negative. The solution is to remove the toxic source and with that the symptoms would subside if not completely vanish.
Children and older adults are the most vulnerable to the effects of any poison. By FDA records, the number one source of aspartame with the most complaints is soda pop. The FDA has classed this chemical as 'generally regarded as safe' or GRAS.
That is not too surprising. After all, saying you were wrong is probably one of the hardest things you have ever done. So, what do you think the chances are that the FDA would say they were in error?
You don't have to worry about the world wide economy or even the food industry when you decide what to eat or feed your family. All you have to concern yourself with is what is best for your family.
Alright, what can you do...
1. Stop consuming Aspartame on an immediate basis.
2. Ban this chemical from your home.
3. You can assist your body to heal by eating organic food whenever possible. 4. Additionally, you could take nutritional supplements to aid the healing. 5. Check your child's chewable vitamins to ensure this is not in it. 6. Check your infant's formula. Discard any that has this toxin. 7. Get your health back and be sure to tell others the changes you made. This additive has demonstrated what a successful ad campaign can do. So, don't be hard on yourself for not knowing these facts. Start fresh from here, taking a sensible approach to change that will put you on track to lifelong health.
