Toss your skim milk... and bring back whole!
The mainstream has been practically begging you to avoid fat...as if it's the root of all dietary evil.
Well, my friend, today I'm going to set the record straight once and for all: Fat in your diet won't make you grow fat on your belly anymore than chicken and fish in the diet will make you sprout feathers and fins.
Contrary to what you've heard, two new studies show how some of the most vilified fats of all will help you LOSE weight and SLASH your risk of diabetes.
And if you're sick of drinking thin and watery low-fat milk (or, God help you, skim)... you're tired of gnawing on bland and rubbery cheese... and 0% yogurt makes your stomach turn... I've got some excellent news for you today.
It's time to put REAL dairy back on the menu!
Turns out the mass switch to low-fat dairy hasn't helped slow the twin epidemics of obesity and diabetes. In fact, as the new studies show, low-fat dairy has actually played a key role in CAUSING both.
The first study finds that eating and drinking full-fat dairy products will CUT your risk of obesity by about 8 percent.
The second shows that no matter what you weigh -- whether you're stick-thin or carrying around a spare tire -- eating and drinking full-fat dairy will cut your risk of diabetes almost in half.
That one tracked more than 3,300 dieters for some 15 years, carefully checking their blood for three markers of full-fat dairy -- and the folks who had the highest levels were 46 percent less likely to develop diabetes.
There's no mystery behind this one. Animal fats and proteins -- whether they come from a cow's milk or a cow's meat -- make you feel fuller longer.
When you pull those fats off your plate, you feel less satisfied... and you end up reaching for something else to eat.
In addition, many of the low-fat foods contain less fat but MORE sugars and other empty carbs, which not only promote weight gain but also lead to less satisfaction, more hunger, and more eating and over-eating.
In other words, a low-fat "diet" is perfectly designed to create a vicious cycle that promotes weight gain and obesity.
So make the switch back to full-fat milk for yourself and your family. More importantly, if you want the REAL disease-fighting, immune-boosting, life-giving benefits of dairy, go right to the farm and get your hands on a steady supply of unpasteurized fresh, raw milk.

Slash
Colon Cancer By 81%
It's one of the most common and deadliest cancers around.
And even when you survive a bout with colon cancer, you can lose your bowel control – and even end up with a colostomy.
So anything you can do to prevent colon cancer from developing is big news.
And now Korean scientists say they've found an incredibly simple way to slash your colon cancer risk by a whopping 81 percent.
All it takes is a simple (and delicious) diet change – one that could save your life or the life of someone you love. When it comes to preventing colon cancer, the mainstream has been grasping at straws for years.
Just a few weeks ago, I told you about their new push to get you popping aspirin every day for your entire adult life, just to drop your risk a few measly percentage points.
And that's if all that aspirin doesn't cause a deadly stomach bleed first.
Keeping yourself safe from colon cancer shouldn't have to be that hard – or dangerous. And thanks to a newly published study from South Korea, it doesn't have to be.
Because researchers have found that you may be able to stop colon cancer from ever developing – just by adding more nuts to your diet. That's right, nuts. As in almonds, walnuts, cashews and peanuts.
And here's the best part – you don't have to gorge yourself on them, either. For their study, researchers from the Seoul National University College of Medicine looked at people who were eating just a half an ounce (around a small handful) of nuts three or more times a week.
And here's what they found about these nut lovers:

And here's what they found about these nut lovers:
·
Men who consumed nuts regularly were able to lower their risk of
colon cancer by an impressive 69
percent.
·
For women who had at least three servings of nuts a week, their
risk was lowered by a jaw-dropping 81
percent.
·
That risk reduction applied across the board to several
different types of the disease found in different areas of the colon.
And the type of nuts consumed included just about every variety,
with peanuts being the top contender, as they're the most popular nut eaten in
South Korea.
While this research is pretty impressive, it's hardly the first time that nuts have been found to be an amazingly healthy addition to our diets.
Unfortunately, lots of people (especially seniors) have sworn off nuts, thanks to the mainstream's decades-old fear campaign against fats.
But that's just ridiculous. The natural fats you get in nuts are some of the healthiest around, and nuts have been shown to naturally lower cholesterol and help prevent heart disease.
And there's plenty of other research proving that nuts can be powerful cancer-fighters. Early this year, scientists out of the University of Colima in Mexico found that eating nuts can both reduce your risk of cancer and reduce your risk of dying from cancer.
That study also found a substantially lower risk of colon cancer in nut lovers, as well as significantly lower rates of breast, colon, pancreatic and lung cancer.
For pancreatic cancer alone the risk reduction was 32 percent! And that's exciting, because the survival rates for some types of pancreatic cancer are downright abysmal.
Can you imagine if one of Big Pharma's concoctions had that kind of success record? Why some drug company boss would be given the Nobel Prize for helping humanity!
So what "magic" compounds are contained in nuts that can give us this kind of cancer protection?
Nuts contain fiber, protein, minerals, healthy Omega-3 fatty acids and plenty of antioxidants. In fact, you'd be hard pressed to find a food that packs so much nutrition into a small serving.
But cancer protection isn't the only gift that nuts can give us.
Walnuts, for example, contain super-high levels of antioxidants, which have been found to protect against heart disease, diabetes and even Alzheimer's!
So don't let the anti-fat crew scare you off of making nuts a regular part of your diet. This is one of the simplest (and tastiest) ways you fight cancer that you'll ever see.

My Comment:
Some nuts go rancid rapidly (especially walnuts) so if possible
you will want to store them in the freezer and just use them as needed. They
will last for several weeks when frozen.
Vaccine Information Rights
By Jenny
Thompson at Health Science Institute
It looks like common sense (and common decency) have been tossed right out the window. For months I've been warning you about crazy vaccine laws that are popping up all across America.
States like California are even throwing kids out of school and day care if they don't get every shot the government recommends. But now Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin has done the unthinkable.
She just vetoed a bill that would have required doctors to inform us about the risks and side effects of certain vaccines -- you know, before the needle goes in.
It's the latest attempt by politicians to keep us in the dark as far as vaccine dangers are concerned -- and to make sure we keep rolling up our sleeves, no questions asked.
When Tulsa mom Casey Ohlsson brought her 9-month-old son for his shots, she had no idea what they were both in for.
The vaccines left him screaming in pain and unable to move -- and within an hour he was suffering seizures. That's the kind of risk that any parent or grandparent would want to know about.
But with a stroke of her pen, Gov. Fallin practically gave the mainstream permission to hide vaccine risks from all of us.
You see, HB 3016, also known as the Parental Rights Immunization Act, had breezed through the Oklahoma Legislature.
And why shouldn't it have?
All HB 3016 required was that doctors give patients a copy of the CDC's Vaccine Information Statement (VIS) before administering a shot. That way parents and their kids would be aware of any possible risks or side effects before agreeing to get a vaccine.
That's called informed consent -- and we shouldn't be pumping anything into anyone's body without it.
But apparently Fallin found a little education to be a very dangerous thing. As soon as HB 3016 landed on her desk, she wasted no time in vetoing the bill.
And she's doing everything she can to try to justify it.
Fallin said HB 3016 was an "unfunded mandate" and that lots of the information patients would get would be "irrelevant."
Unfunded? Irrelevant? You've got to be kidding me!
This is information produced by the federal government -- and they give it away for free. As long as your doctor has a printer or a copy machine, he wouldn't have had any trouble complying with the law.
Let's face it -- Fallin vetoed this bill because she doesn't want you to see what's in these VIS reports. She doesn't want you to learn about the joint pain, seizures, brain damage, and even comas that have been linked to some of these shots -- and that are included in their VIS.
Because, Heaven forbid you make an informed decision that a vaccine may not be worth the risks for your child or grandchild.
Politicians like Fallin may be trying to keep us in the dark -- but it's not something we have to take lying down. Here is one thing you can do right away.
Before agreeing to any vaccine for yourself or someone you love, download and read its VIS. Fallin may not want you to see these documents, but you can find them right here.
Should You Cook Your Vegetables?
We've been told time and time again to eat more
vegetables. But did anyone tell us the best way to cook them?
Scientists took to the kitchen and discovered some interesting things about how to get the biggest nutritional bang for your buck when cooking certain veggies.
First, raw isn't always best. Some vegetables are more nutritious when cooked, like tomatoes. You actually get more of the antioxidant lycopene when tomatoes are made into things such as sauce (and even ketchup!). Spinach and carrots also become nutritional powerhouses when cooked -- just don't overdo it.
More scientific veggie findings include:

Steam that broccoli:
Researchers compared different cooking methods such as boiling, steaming and
microwaving, and here's what they found. Microwaving was the worst for broccoli
-- with 97 percent of the antioxidants lost. Boiling wasn't too much better,
losing 66 percent, but steaming had little effect on broccoli nutrition.
·
Cook carrots before slicing:
Scientists discovered that not only are carrots much more nutritious when
sliced after cooking, but they taste better to boot! It seems
that when you slice them first, there is more "surface area" that
lets important nutrients dissipate.
·
Baking for antioxidants: That
green bean casserole that comes out during the holidays has more going for it
than you thought. Turns out that some veggies, such as green beans, eggplant,
corn and spinach, all become more nutritious when baked.
And when it comes to storing your vegetables,
take the advice of food science professor Barry Swanson, and give them plenty
of breathing room.
Swanson says that airtight, plastic bags are the worst choice. Veggies need air circulation or they'll go bad faster. So if you use plastic bags for storage, poke some holes in them. Better yet, go for a reusable mesh bag.
And one more thing -- don't wash or peel produce until right before you use it -- you'll find your fruits and veggies will keep much longer that way.
