The evidence of last twenty years, is showing us that just choosing a low-fat version of a food is not helping us lose weight. In fact, we need to question, processes that go on to make certain foods "low fat".

Many blame a high amount of refined carbohydrates (white flours, sugars) as having an impact on our weight problem.

Why Are We So Fat?

More and more evidence is showing that we eat too much, and exercise too little. Our lifestyles are very sedentary, and portion size has increased. The US Center for Disease Control (CDC) has concluded that "we eat a lot – a whole lot more than we used to, and most of increase comes from refined carbohydrates (sugar)."

In 1970's average person ate 136 pounds of flour and cereal products per year and now it's up to 200 pounds. The increase is almost all from processed, white flour, high sugar foods. In addition, everything has been super-sized. Example: 1955 McDonald's French fries – 2.4 ounces, 210 calories. 2004 Super size Fries – 7 ounces, 610 calories.

What's The Answer?

Don't get too hung up complex nutrient ratios told to you by latest diet book. You need to find what works for you and your body. It's a process of trial and error. Start with a diet, then keep working at it until you find what is best for you and your health.

Try to eat whole unprocessed food where possible, and eat little and often to regulate your energy levels. Go easy on all refined foods - it's hard - because everywhere you go - most of food is made from cheap refined flours and base products.

Also try to get out and stretch your legs more often.

Fluoride is, Hexafluorosilicic acid, a toxic industrial waste by-product, derived from Super-Phosphate, a fertiliser and Aluminium manufacturing. It is a fact that Sodium silicofluoride (Fluoride) has never been registered anywhere in world as "safe" for human beings. It has been accepted scientifically and by some health and medical authorities that "Fluoridated drinking water, must not be used in preparation of "Baby formula nutrition" because of dangerously high potential, of children receiving a poisonous overdose.

International scientific studies have shown that there is very little difference, if any, between incidence of decayed, missing or filled teeth in children, or adults living in Fluoridated, or non-Fluoridated areas.

Medical professionals and scientists are warning that water fluoridation has dangerous long term health consequences, yet we are still allowing authorities to force it upon our children.
