Did you know that when you take vitamins and minerals in the traditional tablet or capsule form your body only assimilates 10 to 12% of the nutrients, and that figure drops to 3 to 5% after 35-40 years of age? Liquid (also known as colloidal) vitamin form provides the highest possible assimilation of nutrients into the body. Colloidal minerals and vitamin particles are over 7000 times smaller than a human cell. Approximately 98% of liquid form supplements ingested can be used by the body within 15 to 30 minutes. This percentage is far superior to the 3 to 10% assimilation of traditional pill and capsule supplements and means that you would have to take 10 to 20 multi-vitamin pills every day to have comparable assimilation. That would be like swallowing one or two handfuls of those rock hard pills every morning which is definitely a tall order, especially for older people, children and people who hate taking vitamin pills–well, that covers just about everybody. Not to mention how expensive it would be to buy all of those pills!

Recent research has shown that traditional vitamins in pill form largely go to waste, as our bodies have trouble digesting and absorbing the processed and compacted nutrients. The Physician’s Desk Reference (a highly respected medical guide for doctors) contains research that proved that only about 10-20% of the nutrients in vitamins are absorbed into the human body. You know where the rest of that ends up…
In the same section the Physician’s Desk Reference also states that absorption of liquid vitamins amount to about 98%! This is a serious discrepancy between vitamin pills and liquid vitamins. According to this research, liquid vitamins can be up to 10 times more effective than nutritional supplements in pill form.

According to many doctors who have discovered liquid vitamins, their patients respond far better to the same supplements that they were originally prescribed in pill form. We think these studies are quite impressive, and after our own experience with liquid vitamins, are “true believers”.

The truth may shock you. It may stir you up. It may make you mad. It may make you doubt. It may make you uncertain.

You may not believe me. In fact, I encourage you not to believe me and do your own research. Read the books, research the journals, and listen to the tapes so that you can discover for yourself the best food and nutrition for human health.

At first you will have many more questions than answers. But as you continue your search for the truth, you will discover the simple, common sense answers to your questions.

The more information you collect on your own, the better foundation that you will build. The better foundation you build, the more likely that you will be motivated to embark upon the journey of changing your eating and lifestyle habitschanges that have the power to transform your life forever.

So what are the real four food groups?

They are:

Fresh, whole vegetables
Fresh, whole fruits
Whole grains
Whole beans, raw nuts and raw seeds

That’s it. These are all the foods that we need for human health.

Okay. I can feel the cries of resistance. I can feel the disbelief. I can hear the questions. Where do we get our protein if we don’t eat meat? Where do we get our calcium if we don’t eat dairy products? Aren’t we supposed to eat some good fats? What about fish? Isn’t that good for you? If I “can’t” eat meat and dairy, what’s left to eat? Do you expect me to live on celery and carrot sticks alone? I cannot tell you how often I have heard these questions. Do you find yourself asking the same ones?

McDonalds and Nutrition - an Oxymoron or Not?

The ever popular, omnipotent McDonalds fast food chain has been trying for a few years now to mend the fences with activists and public service groups who protest the chain’s marketing of nutritionally void food. In the wake of lots of bad publicity, and a negative documentary profiling the adverse health effects McDonalds menu can have on ones health, the fast food giant is desperately trying to regain public approval. But is it working? And do most people care?

Well, the answer to one of those questions is that while most people who go to McDonalds know what they are getting, and don’t mind that it doesn’t offer much in the way of waist-conscious fare, the new company-initiated push for a nutritionally responsible menu and labeling seems to be falling on deaf ears for the most part.

For example, the fast food giant recently unveiled its new nutritional information packaging at the winter Olympic games in an effort to gain back some of the perceived public trust. Public trust that had been lost through a wave of Supersize critcism, a tell-all documentary (that really told us all what we already knew deep down anyways about consuming fast food) and an increasingly health conscious society.

Society now is starting to take notice of the overwhelming
frequency of obesity, weight related disease and death. Diseases that have recently been directly linked to poor nutrition, oversized portions, lack of physical activity, and a society that looks at food as they look at money - the more the better.

McDonalds also has experimented with various healthier fare. They even had a promotion involving giveaways of pedometers with the purchase of a healthy salad. They are also currently offering a healthier alternative to the traditional but miserably unhealthy breakfast of Egg McMuffins and the new sugar soaked McGriddle, in the form of a tasty apple walnut yogurt salad. Ironically, this “healthy” salad is loaded with sugar and simple carbs, which is actually a hypoglycemic nightmare, but you gotta give it to them - they are trying to branch out and be more “nutritionally aware”.

But does society really want them to or ask them to be more nutritionally responsible, or even be politically correct? Aside from the ever present protesters crusading for better food offerings to the general public, does the ACTUAL general public really want this - from McDonalds? I don’t know about you, but when I go to McDonalds, which is very seldom since I do try to watch what I eat, I fully expect to get a very tasty Big Mac or Double Cheeseburger with a Super Size order of fries, enjoy every minute of this guilty pleasure, and then be on my merry way to eating healthy the next day.

That’s it folks - it’s all gotta be in moderation. As long as you are not abusing the conveniences and admittedly addictive culinary offerings of McDonalds, or you aren’t trying to be the next Morgan Spurlock (the Director/Guinea Pig for the McDonalds documentary “Super Size Me”), you should be just fine indulging in fast food - once in a while.
