Common Health Myths

I like to offer health information for the public to release old health myths and allow for new and
Health Myth One: The Egg and Cholesterol.How many of you think that eggs can lead to higher cholesterol?

Based on factual studies, that is simply not true. Truth is, refined carbs such as sugar and pasta are MORE apt to raise your cholesterol than eggs and actually omega organic eggs can offer so much more in the way of lowering your insulin levels and balancing your energy that it's a shame they have gotten such a bad rap in the media.

Now I'm not saying go wild and eat them every meal, I am saying, eggs in the morning could be a good source of nutrients (make sure they are organic please for other reasons) AND they could keep your blood sugar balanced to reduce daily cravingsHealth Myth Two: Fake Sugars are Healthy.

NutraSweet, or Aspartame as it is also called, is the fake sugar found in over 5000 'sugar free' and 'diet' products in the U.S. My personal belief is that the side effects of this sweetener are dangerous, based on personal experiences such as headaches and vision impairment and situations with clients, but that is not everyone's belief. There has been such a controversy over NutraSweet in the past twenty years that I've decided to focus on both sides this month.

I know that the FDA and various corporations say they are safe. I also know that there are organizations out there lobbying to get it off the market, especially for children's products. I trust you will decide for yourself what works for you.

I believe in options, so here are links to both sides for your perusal and for you to make informed decisions on your own steps in health.Disclaimer: The views expressed here are not meant to replace medical attention, rather, to offer information for you to make informed choices in your health. Check with your health professional with questions and make the decisions that are right for you.
