Just a quick post to tell everyone I had a terrific weeked with my two boys. It was so nice to be out in the warm weather. Getting geared up for a short run to finish out the day and clear my thoughts. Stay tuned for the new website and a new report called “21 ways to live younger”.

There’s a New Study that Shows the Harmful Effects of the sweetener in the little yellow packet also known as Splenda
A new scientific report outlines the dangers of Splenda. It showed that it killed off half of the good bacteria in the intestines, contributed to weight gain and increased the PH level in the gut dramatically!
Saldly enough, the people who are the sickest will be blindsided by the effects because it has been shown to affect a certain glycoprotein in the intestine that can block the absorption of much needed medications taken by people affected with AIDS, heart conditions and even cancer.
It’s very important to realize that Splenda or sucralose is NOT sugar, despite its marketing slogan “Made from sugar, so it tastes like sugar”. It is actually a chlorinated artificial sweetener more like aspartame and saccharin, with damaging health problems to match. Read more

Don’t be seduced by “sugar-free” or “fat-free” goodies. Check out 10 low-fat treats that can wreck your diet By Emily Tannert
You’ve been eating smart all summer long despite the weekend movie trips and backyard cookouts. But some of those low-fat diet meals and snacks may not be as slimming as you think. Before you sabotage your diet, check out this gallery of low-fat diet food impostors, and be sure you’re really making healthy choices!
“Real Fruit” Beverages That Fruitopia drink at the mall was a great way to get in a serving of fruit, right? Wrong. These drinks are only 5 percent fruit juice, and because they’re full of sugar, a 20-oz bottle packs 300 or more calories–as much as a cream-filled doughnut! Have a box of 100 percent juice instead.
Poultry Hot Dogs Unfortunately, just like pork and beef hot dogs, poultry dogs often include skin and fat, so they’re no healthier than their “authentic” counterparts. Opt for low-fat or fat-free franks instead. And no matter what variety you get, check the Nutrition Facts label for the real skinny on fat content. Read more
