You are all familiar with the ingredient labels on processed foods that only a doctor in biology can understand. As a wellness coach, and avid health nut, I am always reading labels. This blog is to just share a couple things to look out for. You have probably heard this before, however it bears worth repeating.
DO NOT consume products with 'partially hydrogenated' oil, no matter if it is sunflower, canola, soy. Just Do Not consume any of it. This is oil that had been artificially infused with hydrogen to give it a thicker consistancy, like shortening. This Hydrogenated oil, once in your blood system, does NOT break down. It only serves to make the product more stable and CLOG UP your arteries!! When I was small, advertisers were pushing margarine as having no saturated fats, like butter has. The thing is, Butter is a Natural Substance. Margarine is not. The hydrogenated oil in margarine will stick to your artery walls, forming cholesterol deposits, causing heart disease, pre-mature heart attacks, and the like.
Then, more recently, I noticed another ingredient that raised my eyebrows. It is 'Hydrolized' oils. OK, so what is hydrolyzed? Wikipedia says it is 'produced by boiling cereals or legumes, such as soy, corn, or wheat in hydrochloric acid and then neutralizing the solution with sodium hydroxide.' Now when is the last time you boiled your veggies in hydrochloric acid????? Hydrochloric acid is also used to make PVC !!
Check out 'TheDailyGreen.com' to read about a 'HVP' or Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein' recall due to salmonella that never made the news!!
There is an enormous amount of clinical and experimental evidence supporting the premise that artificial ingredients, such as MSG, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, aspartame and hydrogenated oils also are a major factor in causing migraines, seizures, infections, certain types od obesity, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease to mention a few. Ironically, these food additives have Nothing to do with preserving food or increasing shelf life. They are all used to alter the taste of food.
I found on 'ClinicalTrials.gov' that there is a study to determine the effects of the Safety of infant formula containing 'partially hydrolized whey protein' !
No wonder our whole country is sick!! Look what we've been gullable enough to have been eating for the past 30 years. !!
Now for a real solution, check out my website and watch the video. The password to watch the video is 'Freedom'. http://www.076.webpres.biz my partner does an excellent presentation.
Here's to your health! It's OK to be WELL!!

Single Mom Career ????
Hi, It's Lisa aka DrMomCEO. Thank you for reading my post. It seems my life has sent me in the direction of being a single Mom by circumstance, not by choice.
I and My two oldest sons lost their Dad to Viral pneumonia on September 1, 1995. Dad was 9 days away from being 45; the two boys were 6 and 8 years old. Three years later, I reconnected with my youngest son's Dad, (who I lost contact with for 10 years, but that is another story). we were married for 3 years when he had a massive heart attack. Our son was 10. So, I have essentially raised my 3 sons on my own.
When it came time to pick jobs for my church, Pastor asked me to be on the Leadership team for Singles (which is not the job I chose). It was good to follow Pastor's wisdom, however. It is good to be able to Advise other younger Moms, or just to sit and listen. We also did quite a bit socially.
When my childern were small, I was a homemaker until they were all in school. My youngest son's PreK teacher asked me to be her Paraprofessional and Parent Educator. I took the class that was required and did just that. I left the house as my kids went to school, and I got home around the same time as they did !! Perfect for the single parent !! I thought about getting a job working in a day care at a gym. Other doors opened, so I stayed in the education field.
I am glad I did stay in the school system, because I stayed with all my kids teachers. I believe I would have anyway, this just made it easier. I believe I Am My Child's 1st Teacher !! The school teachers are there to help me, Not the other way around. I discussed with their teachers How I wanted my children to be educated. If I did not want them to participate in this or that, Or if I Wanted them to participate, I told the teachers hoew to educate my child; never unreasonable, yet we communicated often. I tried to always put a smile on their faces. Teachers have enough headaches as it is, I did not want to be another. I brought snacks to the classroom often. The whole school knew who I was; either Miss Lisa, Damien's Mom or Kalen's Mom or Jared's Mom and that was OK !! I even brought baked goodies to the office personelle on occasion.
I love socalizing and listening to others scenarios and antics about home life. It's OK to be single, sometimes Better than being in a relationship with someone who won't appreciate my kids like I do. (That can be a nightmare- how do I know that??)
Oh, BTW, I got the 'handle' DrMomCEO from the commercial years ago where a mom was doctoring her kid for some reason. I was always fixing some kind of Boo-Boo's. (Made a couple Hospital runs as well). Then I started working from home. Therefore DrMomCEO, just so you know.
Till next time. Lisa aka DrMomCEO
