Good news for anyone with Type 2 diabetes

September 13, 2018 By Cyd Notter

Eric Adams, a borough President in Brooklyn, New York, had diabetes so severe that he was losing his eyesight and the feeling in his legs.

After stumbling upon the benefits of a plant-based diet and changing his diet, he completely reversed his condition in only three months. Now he’s telling everyone he can that there’s an answer for those suffering from crippling chronic conditions.

Read Eric’s story here, and share with anyone you know struggling with Type 2 diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes is caused by FAT, not sugar. Even the American Diabetes Association recognizes that fact as true.

The good news is that this disease is completely reversible! By adopting a low-fat, plant-based diet, the fat in your cells will melt away and restore cell function to normal, once again allowing the glucose in your blood to get into its intended cells. No more need to “manage” diabetes.

Are Soy Foods Safe?

August 30, 2018 By Cyd Notter

Dear Coach: I’ve heard that we should not eat soy because of the estrogen raising our cancer risk, and yet I notice that you use tofu in some of your recipes. Is soy harmful or not? Lori

Dear Lori: Thanks for your question about soy. It’s one of the most asked questions I hear during my presentations, and much confusion exists around this topic. (Continue Reading Here….)

My dear friend, I pray that everything may go well with you and that you may be in good health—as I know you are well in spirit. (3 John 1:2, GNT)

Mint Chocolate Chip Bars

August 23, 2018 By Cyd Notter

If you’re a fan of anything “mint chocolate chip” (as I am!), you’ll enjoy this easy No-Bake recipe from Brandi at the vegan 8 website.

No-Bake Mint Chocolate Chip Bars have only 7 ingredients and are a yummy treat to be savored sparingly – a little goes a long way!

The only difference I’ll make in the future is to choose a different crisp cereal. The bars didn’t turn out as “crispy” as I’d hoped, but still good!

These would make a nice addition to your Christmas Cookie gift plates.

CBD (Cannabidiol) Oil – Use Caution

August 16, 2018 By Cyd Notter

Have you heard about the hot new product called CBD oil?

CBD Oil is extracted from hemp or marijuana plants, and is touted as a non-intoxicating product that will help treat anxiety, depression, seizures, inflammation, sleeplessness and much more. State laws vary with regard to legalization.

THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol) are the two most well-known compounds in marijuana. Researchers have long known that THC is responsible for the famous cannabis high, but CBD doesn’t work on the same brain receptors, and will therefore not provide that affect.

But the experts are saying “Hold your Horses” before using this product. Not only is there scant evidence to support the health claims, the mislabeling of the product is huge concern. The oil is classified as a dietary supplement, which means it’s not subject to much regulation, nor is it FDA approved.

In this video, Dr. Pam Popper explains that the mislabeling of the various brands makes it hard to do a credible benefit/risk analysis. Sample testing of what’s out there reveals that over 55% of the products either have none of what they claim to have, or they contain THC (which it’s not supposed to have) which can show on at a drug test. Plus there are side effects to ingesting CBD oil. Her comments begin at the 5:33 mark in the video.

Here’s what Web MD has to say – they apparently agree with Dr. Popper’s assessment.

After doing some digging on my own, it’s obvious that CBD (Hemp) Oil is very controversial and the studies are not conclusive. Please think twice – or use extreme caution – if this is something you’re considering!

Don’t abandon wisdom, and she will watch over you;
love her, and she will guard you. (Proverbs 4:6, HCSB)
