Hazards Of Plastics For You And The Future

Plastic – Safe?

Plastic is everywhere. If you live in the United States, you certainly cannot avoid plastic. From plastic wrap, containers, chairs, garbage bags, water bottles, food containers, carpeting, you name it, it is everywhere. Plastics are finally coming under scrutiny, both environmentally and from a health standpoint, at a consumer level. The hazards of plastics have long been known and have only lately been discussed or reported on.

Studies Show Plastic Not Safe – Cancer

Plastics are an environmental concern during both manufacture and disposal. Dioxins and other toxins are released into the air during the manufacturing process. Many plastics are not recyclable and they leach the same toxins into the soil of our landfills after disposal. Now the latest studies show (as do prior studies) that plastics leach into our food, our water and our bodies as well, and are causing a variety of health hazards. Hormonal disruption, sperm reduction, cancer, and increased susceptibility to diabetes are just a few of the health concerns that are being attributed to plastics.

Safe Plastic Bottles

  • Purchase as many of your products as possible in glass, metal or cardboard.
  • If you absolutely have to use plastic, (and who doesn’t?) select plastic codes numbers: 1,2,4,5.
  • Never microwave with plastic or plastic wrap.
  • Drink tap water out of a glass.
  • Use wax paper, parchment paper or deli paper instead of plastic wrap.

Any small changes you can make in your life will impact your health and the future environment.


‘New’ Research In Healthy Eating

healthy food studiesWe have come so far away from real food that we do not even know what it is anymore! These are actual “new” studies recently reported.

Maybe the problem is that we are wasting money on useless studies and not focusing on the prevention of disease. Nutrition is the answer to good health.

All funding for these absurd studies could be invested into the education of young people!

It is unfortunate that it takes an education these days to eat right. The 6 Weeks To The New You is a progressive educational program that gives you the skills to make good food choices.

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition

New evidence published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition’s Archives of Internal Medicine has stated that eating more dietary fiber, particularly from whole grains, could lead to a longer life. “New”? Where have they been?

The US Government

The US Government recently released a (ground breaking) report stating: People who live in a community with parks and playgrounds, living wages, grocery stores that sell nutritious food, well maintained housing, and high quality public transit, and are more likely to thrive. DUH!!

The Canadian Government

The Canadian government has recently issued a statement after collecting data from top researchers in the country. “Consumers who spend time reading food labels have a 38.7% increased likelihood of NOT getting a preventable disease. Well, now that is rocket science!! LOL!

Prevention Magazine

Prevention Magazine just announced a new breakthrough. They devoted an entire special edition issue to the latest scientific news in diabetes management. This is a direct quote from that issue: “You can lose weight and control blood sugar with real food.”

Women’s World

I read this headline on the front of Women’s World while in the grocery line: “Now You Can Lose Weight And Eat Pasta!” A quick glance over the article revealed that whole foods like pasta, rich in fiber, actually speed weight loss.

PA Newspaper Story

As I passed a news stand when filling up on gas, I saw this earth-shattering headline: “New Research Reveals TV Causes Obesity.” I didn’t even have to read that one to learn what it was about, or why TV causes obesity. I personally consumed an entire bag of chips last night while spacing out in front of a totally boring TV show.

New Research Shows….Duh

New (and old) research shows that when you eat real food you will be healthy! You can tell that the state of our health is a pretty sad situation when topics such as these even get researched, much less reported on!


Worldwide Interest in Metabolism

Increase Your Metabolism Goes Overseas

Visitors From US, Canada, Australia and India

The United States still represents the highest number of guests to the site by far. But when I looked at the statistics for the period of November 10th until December 10th, I was surprised by the number of visitors from Canada, Australia, Netherlands and India. Each country brought more than 10 visitors to the site during the period.

I was also impressed with the wide variety of countries that came to Wow! to learn more about living healthy without dieting. More than five people each came from New Zealand, the Philippines and Malaysia. Those stats were followed closely by a few visitors each from United Arab Emirates, Singapore, Croatia, Ireland, China, and South Africa.

Some of our overseas guests have been impressed. Over the past few months I have sent the home study set to South Africa, England, Canada, Mexico and New Zealand. I am really grateful for the overseas interest in healthy living and metabolism. The overseas shipping fee is only $5.00 more than shipping to the US so it is definitely affordable.
