Thought for the Day: Encourage others to eat well

We all go about busy lives these days. Sometimes there is not enough time in the day to pay attention to nutritional needs, let alone find places where healthy meals are available if you're unable to prepare healthy meals yourself. I'm into not giving my body the tools that agitate any possible predisposition to cancer. How about you?

Think about this:

Genuine care and and concern are priceless these days. It's easy to be ambivalent about the junk foods and other cancer-assisting foods loaded with chemicals when others eat them, but if you really care, dropping verbal "seeds" about eating correctly and finding ways to eat healthy even when outside the home are worth their weight in gold.


Be a model of health and suggest to others that cancer rates are increasing as we all become heavier (here in the U.S., especially). If friends and family trust you, perhaps what you say will stick and someone may turn their life around -- starting with the abandonment of processed foods that contain chemicals with known links to cancer development.

Cancer-causing Aspartame under scrutiny once again

To those knowledgeable about cancer causes, the role of fake (artificial) sweeteners in many beverages these days probably make you not want to drink anything but water. Personally, I banned all soft drinks many years ago regardless of the presence of real or fake sweeteners. It was very hard, yes -- but now after researching the role of Aspartame and other fake sweeteners in the role of cancer, I'll never go back.

Which brings us to the might and oddly bizarre FDA. That federal agency again has swept aside the growing evidence of the artificial sweetener Aspartame contributing to cancer. Another study was released this week that showed this connection, but health officials are making excuses once again.

Yes, there is the commercial interests at play here (like always) with the sweetener companies themselves, but with so much evidence that connects Aspartame with cancer, it's just amazing a ban has not come forward yet.
