Ethnic food is so so delicious. However, much of it will kill you in a matter months considering the amounts of animal fat/oil, deep frying, and refined flour and sugar used in many of the recipes. Generally, AHS would recommend to stay away from unhealthy ethnic food at all cost. However, after looking over the recipes of some South American/Caribbean cuisine, it is possible to rescue some dishes from the brink of being labeled hazardous to your health.

Sulfur Dioxide

Generally, AHS recommends not consuming foods with certain preservatives. As a rule of thumb, for everything that a person eats, if it was not available to mankind before the year 1800 or the Industrial Revolution, it should be avoided. After the Industrial Revolution, food and drug processing became a victim of immoral mercantilists. Their desire for profit and mass production over health and just a general level of mores lead them to over-process botanicals and meat products.

 

KEYS TO A FLAT STOMACH

Only a few of us are genetically predisposed to have a six or eight pack stomach. While most of us don’t look like Fat Albert either, many of us fall somewhere in between these extremes. Doing sit ups alone will not get you that flat muscular stomach. Anthropologically speaking, the stomach will generally be the last place to lose it excess fat. Our nomadic ancestors needed to efficiently store fat. The mid-section was the best place for these fat deposits. So, what is a modern day homo-sapien to do? Well, it may take a few months; however, following some basic rules will give anyone a flat, shapely, and sexy stomach.

Ayn Rand & Abortion pt. 2

Ayn Rand is essentially correct. Abortion is a personal matter. The federal government should have no jurisdiction on that subject. However, the state governments are well within their rights to regulate abortion. However, Ayn Rand denigrates those that would state that life starts at conception for placing the life marker at the very beginning of the gestational period. On the other hand, Ayn Rand has chosen to place the life’s demarcation at the twenty-third week (and most likely in her time the thirtieth week).

Skin Cancer’s catalyst is Skin lotion and Sunscreen

Sunscreen and its friend skin lotion are keeping the rates of skin cancer and other cancers high. Sunscreen blocks out the ultraviolet rays needed for the body to produce the hormone called Vitamin D.  Lack of Vitamin D has been linked to increased rates of all types of cancer, including skin, prostate, and breast cancer. To make matters worse, the chemicals that are in sunscreen and body lotion are absorbed into the skin and bloodstream. This creates a toxic environment for the body. Some of the ingredients in most sunscreen and body lotions are not designed to be placed on the body. “If you cannot eat it, do not put it on your skin” should be the rule used to determine whether or not a product is safe for human use.  Instead of the common body lotion products, shea butter, cocoa butter, and sweet almond oil are all great at moisturizing the skin.

Behavior is the cure for HIV/AIDS

The cure for HIV/AIDS is quite simple… At-risk populations must change their behavior.

 

HIV/AIDS currently afflicts less than 1% of the world’s population. This is hardly a pandemic and only an epidemic in a few countries (e.g. Swaziland, Botswana). Most of these people can be found in sub-Saharan Africa. These folk engage in behavior which increases the likelihood of contracting this virus. Behaviors such as promiscuity and the lack of prophylactic use are the main reasons why this continent has such a problem with HIV/AIDS.  To make matters worse, some of infected men are raping young girls in the belief that intercourse with these females will cure them of their troubles.  

Food made with High Fructose Corn Syrup found to have Mercury

New studies reveal further damaging information regarding high fructose corn syrup (HFCS).  Over half of the studied products were found to have dangerous amounts of mercury in it. Beyond the known issues of obesity and diabetes related risks, now child mental retardation and other physical ailments are now added to the list of reasons not to eat or drink food that have HFCS.

Mercury should not be consumed in any amount. Infants are most vulnerable to this toxic substance. Predictably, the companies that use HFCS dispute the findings. An easy way for consumers to nevermind the troubles associated with HFCS is to avoid any products that lists it as an ingredient.  Buy natural and organic ingredients and cook more at home as ways to avoid HFCS.

Healthy Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe

AHS is dedicated to addressing many facets of day- to-day life. This includes what a person decides to eat. Healthy eating is normally labeled as bland and dry. No, it is not. That is the description for diet food which is drastically different from health food. Diet food needs lab-created ingredients to maintain its low calorie designation. Health food is not concerned with the calorie intake. It is more concerned with portion control of rich and tasty food. The type of food that only uses ingredients that have been around for thousands of years and not the past 200 years.

Just when we thought Halitosis was bad…Mouthwash & Cancer linked

Another case of capitalism without morals, mouthwash, particularly the ones containing alcohol have increased the likelihood of oral cancer. Alcohol kills bacteria. However, it also dries the mouth. A dry mouth is a perfect environment for bacteria. So, the effect of the mouthwash is temporary as the bacterium makes a double effort to repopulate the oral cavity.

 Where hydrogen peroxide is a naturally occurring substance found naturally in rainwater, breast milk, and created in our blood to kill pathogens via oxidation, it can also be used to debride the mouth.

Thank God for Scientists… Advanced Designer Babies

In another example of science displaying its vast potential while overstepping the natural boundaries, scientists have created the first breast cancer gene-free baby. Hitler and Margaret Sanger would be proud.

These well-meaning fools have failed to realize that cancer is not predestined. Like homosexuality, a person may have the predisposition for a particular defect, however, it is the environment that activates the pathology.
