2008-05-07 Hidden Dangers Of Diet Aids

Over-the-counter medications like ibuprofen, inhalers and reflux inhibitors have to be shown as safe and effective before the FDA will let them be marketed. But thanks to the 1994 Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, neither dietary supplements nor homeopathic remedies are required to provide pre-market evidence of safety and effectiveness. To remove such a product from the market, the FDA must prove that it is dangerous, a challenging task for the understaffed, budget-strapped agency. Homeopathic remedies slip under an even lower wire. While dietary supplements can make only structure and function claims, products labeled homeopathic - a designation decided by the industry, not the FDA - can assert medical effects, Schardt explained. Thus, the homeopathic zinc supplement Cold-EEZE, claims to fight colds, but Cold-fX, sold

2008-05-25 Voices - Spiritual Survival in a Temporal World

I suspect the raw foods diet might have evolved out of this and Im not going to spend a lot of time on that one and here is why. Ive observed the raw foods discipline and its another of those fanatically-disposed systems that one should be careful with. Elements of Veganism also fit into this category. This system can have you spending most of your waking hours preparing your food. It can be quite expensive and time consuming and has become a temporary trend among celebrities and trust fund babies. Im not saying it isnt a good system though I think it would cause a gas problem with a lot of people. Youll have to look into it and see if it is for you. I think that saying cooked food is poison is a pretty stupid comment and makes everything else suspect to me. However this diet is far

2008-05-08 The State The Diet Detective: The clues in your poo

Vegetarians tend to eat balanced diets high in fiber. The good news is that their stools are frequent (sometimes up to three times a day) and soft in consistency, making trips to the loo satisfying and enjoyable. The downside can be the formation of gas. Because our bodies are unable to digest many of the plant products we consume, these substances undergo fermentation by the bacteria in our colons. The formation of carbon dioxide causes bloating and excessive flatus production but is otherwise harmless. In fact, vegetarian flatus, and feces for that matter, tend not to smell as bad as carnivore-produced waste.

And ldquo;I used to be Meniere and rsquo;s patient and had to follow a very strict low sodium diet for over a year and rdquo; said Umit Demir, the founder of EatLowSodium. "Finding good quality, healthy, low sodium foods is a challenge as most of the food products in the market contain high amount of sodium.
