Hypoglycemia: Heal with a Ketogenic Diet.
Ellen Davis explains how a ketogenic diet will help reverse hypoglycemia by stabilizing blood sugar and insulin levels and converting fats into fuel. Hypoglycemia can be associated with a high- carbohydrate diet and includes acute reactions to refined carbohydrate.
Are Polyunsaturated Oils Really Healthy?
CJ Puotinen cites evidence showing that the common belief that polyunsaturated oils are better for you is not based on science; in fact, the long-chain fatty acids in polyunsaturated oils make them extremely fragile and unstable when heated.
High Cholesterol Is Not a Risk Factor.
Uffe Ravnskov, M.D., asserts that people with high cholesterol live the longest, heart patients have low cholesterol, and no trial drugs, including statins, have succeeded in prolonging life, all facts that the drug companies attempt to hide.
Imbalanced Sex Hormones & the Role of Stress.
Dawn M. Cutillo says chronic stress unbalances estrogen and progesterone, two main sex hormones; when progesterone is depleted, estrogen dominance ensues, causing PMS, menopausal symptoms, weight gain, bone loss, cancer, and premature aging.
