True Culprits of High Cholesterol - Homogenized Milk and Tap Water

Written by Deb Bromley


What if I told you tap water and homogenized milk may be two ofrepparttar biggest culprits in skyrocketing rates of high cholesterol? Cholesterol is actually being produced by our own bodies all ofrepparttar 114591 time as a natural mechanism to combat oxidation when our bodies are diseased. Therefore, if we are not well, our cholesterol levels are likely to be higher regardless of what we eat that contains cholesterol. Having too low of a cholesterol level is just as bad as having too high.

Avoiding eggs and other foods that naturally contain cholesterol may not berepparttar 114592 best solution, nor taking cholesterol-lowering drugs with their plethora of harmful side effects. For example, eggs are actually extremely healthy in moderation, being that they contain nutrients present atrepparttar 114593 beginning of life. Fatty meats are often harmful simply because fats store toxins, and animals not raised naturally have often been injected with antibiotics, hormones, steroids, and graze on grounds containing pesticides and fertilizer residue.

Two ofrepparttar 114594 most harmful, and most common, everyday products we are ingesting that contribute to high cholesterol, and thus plaque inrepparttar 114595 arteries, are homogenized milk and chemically-treated tap water.

The explanation is far more complicated than I will cover here, but basically homogenizing milk involvesrepparttar 114596 breaking down of fat particles to such a small size thatrepparttar 114597 milk looks nice and smooth with no chunks of cream, but these smaller fat particles can permeaterepparttar 114598 intestines and end up in your blood stream. Onrepparttar 114599 other hand, fresh unhomogenized milk fromrepparttar 114600 farm, assumingrepparttar 114601 cows have not been exposed to chemicals, with its cream floating torepparttar 114602 top, is natural and not a harmful form of fat. The larger fat molecules pass throughrepparttar 114603 digestive system and nutrients are properly absorbed without fat enteringrepparttar 114604 bloodstream. This cream, of course, can also be skimmed offrepparttar 114605 top ofrepparttar 114606 milk and used for other purposes.

Studies have shown that many ofrepparttar 114607 chemicals present in tap water that were added to kill bacteria, such as chlorine, often react with and oxidize cholesterol already inrepparttar 114608 body, forming a gummy substance (plaque) that actually sticks to, and clogs,repparttar 114609 arteries. And there are many more dangerous side effects of drinking chemically-treated water.

What can you do about it? If you want to lower your cholesterol, which is not an easy task once your body is not functioning properly regardless how much cholesterol you eliminate in your diet, first eliminate homogenized milk and stop drinking and cooking with tap water whenever possible. If you can't always get unhomogenized milk, such as from a health store or organic farm, then fat-free regular organic milk isrepparttar 114610 next best choice so you're not getting chemicals nor as much cholesterol. If you can afford it, put a good filter in your bathtub or shower and/or install a whole-house distillation system, as even bathing in chemically treated water is harmful because it absorbs through your pores, and chemicals inrepparttar 114611 steam are inhaled.

Tobacco - The World's #1 Killer Substance!

Written by Colin R. Williams


TOBACCO is one ofrepparttar few legal substances available in stores as a consumer product, that will kill or harm when used as intended. It is repparttar 114590 #1 killer over-the-counter drugrepparttar 114591 world has ever seen. Why is it we believe there’s enjoyment in something that is literally killing millions of people every year.

Tobacco should be classified as a crime against humanity!

Believe me.. no other consumer product inrepparttar 114592 history ofrepparttar 114593 world has even come close to inflicting this amount of damage on mankind. If anything else of this magnitude was to poserepparttar 114594 same threat to life, whether it was human induced or naturally occurring – be it war, terrorist attack, genocide, ethnic cleansing, natural disaster or disease, it would as a rule command immediate international intervention! Think aboutrepparttar 114595 current ‘war on terror’. So why isn’t it? You would have learnt how to smoke from that very first cigarette, as you most certainly practisedrepparttar 114596 draw-back and other styles of smoking until you finally achieved that great smokers status.

If you were born to be a smoker then maybe your nose would be upside down (like a chimney) with a little umbrella over it to keeprepparttar 114597 rain out! Firemen wouldn’t need any breathing apparatus.

Seriously now, you wouldn’t pour toxic chemicals in torepparttar 114598 fuel tank of your car, truck, motor home or bike – would you? So why is it we can suck in over 4000 toxic chemicals with every cigarette and not really think anything of it (until it’s too late). Your life has got to be more valuable than your car or truck.

There are dozens of what I call 'Smoker Myths' associated with nicotine addiction, some of them are like this....

Myth#1. "I enjoy smoking, it makes me feel good" ever said something like that, or what about…. Myth#2. "I really enjoyrepparttar 114599 flavour of tobacco" are you kidding me!!! (Dog vomit would taste better) Myth#3. "I'm just soooo stressed out, I need a cigarette"

These Smoker Myths become apart ofrepparttar 114600 smoking culture or belief system. How many times do you think a non-smoker would make these statements?
