The Great Superfood Scam REVEALED!

Discover the stunningly simple secret for transforming ANY food into a nutritional goldmine.

When America’s Nutrition Physician tells you to eat brownies, it comes as a bit of a shock... so I was more than a little skeptical when I started watching this video presentation by Dr. Allan Spreen. But in just a few minutes, you’ll be as convinced as I am that shelling out exorbitant sums for the latest, greatest superfoods is a waste of money.

Unbelievable as it sounds, Dr. Spreen has discovered a stunning secret that can transform ANY food -- even decadent treats like fresh-baked brownies -- into a nutritional goldmine that rivals superfoods like salmon, broccoli, and pomegranate.

But as perfect as this food is, news about its amazing potential simply hasn’t become public... At least, not yet.

When it does, you can bet that demand will go through the roof -- and chances are good we’ll be forced to take down this presentation because supplies will run dangerously low. So don’t wait!

Turn your speakers on, and go here to become a part of the elite inner circle of people who have wised up to The Great Superfood Scam.

Learn to Love Your Anger

If you’re like many people I know, you would rather clean a bathroom with a cotton swab than sit down for an honest airing of angry feelings -- yours or anyone else’s. This is common and understandable, because anger can be ugly, upsetting and destructive... but that’s because it’s misunderstood. When handled well, anger can become a powerful force for dramatic, positive change -- and in a relationship, it can be the catalyst for unprecedented growth and intimacy.

But, of course, few of us are good at processing anger or know how to express it well... and therein lies the challenge.

Why Anger Gets Buried

I recently sat down with life coach and regular Daily Health News contributor Lauren Zander for a discussion on this "hot" topic. She agreed that many (if not most) people are uncomfortable with anger -- both feeling and receiving it. She told me that in her coaching practice, she sees many clients who fail to recognize that unexplored, unexpressed anger is at the root of their problems. Some are completely unaware of their anger, while others who are tuned in to their feelings don’t have any idea what to do with them. They push their anger underground and simply pretend it doesn’t exist.

That doesn’t work, however. It doesn’t take a psychologist to know that buried anger is dangerous. It’s like a volcano on the verge of bubbling up and spewing out unpredictably, often with disastrous results.

Do you have issues with buried anger? If you’re not entirely sure, Zander suggested that you ask yourself the following questions:
  • Do I have a tendency to complain about some aspect of a relationship to people who can do nothing about it?
  • Do I feel resigned about something, as in "I have no control over that (his drinking, her overeating), so I just accept it?"
Trapped!

While "yes" answers to both of those questions may seem like mature responses to anger because they avoid confrontation, Zander says in actuality they make matters worse. Venting to people who can’t change what makes you angry and/or martyring yourself with feelings of resignation are both efforts to "feel better in areas where you feel trapped," she said, pointing out that "trapped" is not a good place to be. You’ll stay angry... and get more so over time.

Far better is to take steps to free yourself from the feelings that are interfering with your life by challenging yourself to address your anger. And you may be surprised to learn that the way to do this is not to walk away from that part of your life, but rather to open it up. Only when you stop holding everything inside can you get to work on fixing what makes you feel so unhappy.

Why Is This Frightening?

All of the above seems fairly self-evident. So why are people so fearful about bringing their anger out into the open? Zander explained that often what lurks beneath the reluctance is deep-seated anxiety that broaching angry feelings may create an irreparable rift in a relationship. What might happen then? Will there be drama? Will your anger bring pain to someone you love? Might the relationship come to an end?

There’s another possibility, too, and it’s scary in its own right, Zander said. If you speak your feelings, you may also have to give the other person a chance to share his/hers... and that means having to listen. "Even those who feel their grudges are justified may fear that revealing their feelings will open the door to allow the other person to say things that they don’t want to hear," she said. "Since you can’t control the outcome of a conversation like that, it feels safer to hold it in."

Zander said that many people are uncomfortable with the idea of being in such an honest relationship... but this is true intimacy. "If you stop selling out by hiding your true feelings, you will find the love that you need and deserve," she explained.

What Should I Say?

I asked Zander for some guidelines on how to express anger in a healthy and productive manner...

First, be honest with yourself. Exactly why are you angry? And is there another side to the problem? It’s vital to understand what’s behind your own feelings, but you also should remember that your truth isn’t a universal one. The other person has a point of view as well, and it will likely be different from yours.

Be respectful in presenting your request to discuss your feelings. For instance, don’t blast your partner as he/she walks in the door after a hard day at work. A better way: Ask permission to raise an important matter, and suggest a time that won’t present conflicts for either of you.

What to say? Zander suggests saying something like this: "There’s something I need to discuss, but I’m scared because I’m not sure what you will think or say. I am so committed to you being happy with me that I am afraid to share my innermost feelings, but I think talking about it will help. Please listen first... and then repeat what you heard so I know you understand... and then tell me what you think."

Believe it or not, in a caring relationship, resolution is usually right around the corner from here. (If not, you’ve got a different problem -- see Daily Health News, "Quitting Time -- How to Have a Happy Ending," September 30, 2010, for more on this tough topic.) When you get feelings out into the open, you can heal problems and let them go, Zander said. And then, she said -- and this is important -- that’s what you need to do, let them go. An apology -- a real one, with empathy behind it -- needs to be enough. And fortunately, for people who really do care about one another, it usually is.

Erase Tumors in 2 Months

"Within two months, every tumor had shrunk, dried up and fallen off," said Tom to Dr. Gary Null about the miraculous disappearance of his rapidly spreading cancer.

Tom had already gone through surgery once for skin cancer on his forehead. Unfortunately, his skin cancer was melanoma. Just 10 days after the operation, the cancer was back with a vengeance. It reappeared on his forehead, and quickly spread to his arm, upper body and chest.

Four doctors all agreed: There was nothing they could do to cure this cancer. They all still wanted to operate. But Tom wanted to live -- not just get sliced up.

Read on to learn what Tom did to save his life...




Bountiful Benefits of Beet Juice

B stands for beets, which benefit Blood pressure and now, believe it or not, Brain health. These important health benefits make a compelling case for trying to develop a taste for beet juice because -- let’s be truthful here -- it’s not something many people are in the habit of drinking regularly.

Beets Are Even Better than We Knew

The new findings on brain health come from Wake Forest University and were reported in the January 2011 issue of Nitric Oxide: Biology and Chemistry. We already knew that beets have a high concentration of the compound nitrate, which gets converted to nitrite (a vasodilator, which means it expands blood vessels) when it comes into contact with the healthy bacteria that live in the mouth.

In this small study, seven adults (all age 70 or older) each consumed 16 ounces of beet juice with breakfast for two days and then ate a normal, healthful lunch and dinner (that also included some healthful nitrates), after which they had MRI scans to measure blood flow through their brains. At the same time, for the sake of comparison, another group of seven adults of the same age ate a diet that emphasized low-nitrate foods for two days, also followed by MRI scans. The two groups then switched diets for another two days, and had additional MRI scans. Research finding: Drinking beet juice brought increased blood flow to the white matter of the frontal lobes of the brain, the area most strongly associated with degeneration that leads to dementia.

Beet juice has an earthy, slightly sweet flavor but leaves a sour aftertaste -- therefore some people like to add a small amount of apple juice as a sweetener. Many markets now carry beet juice, and some also sell beet juice-extract capsules, for those who really don’t think they can develop a taste for the stuff!

The study tested only beet juice, not whole beets, though lead author Daniel Kim-Shapiro, PhD, director of Wake Forest University’s Translational Science Center, told me that he believes that these would be similarly healthful. Other good sources: Dr. Kim-Shapiro noted that kale, spinach, celery and cabbage are also good sources of nitrate -- he suggests that you might make a "brain cocktail" by juicing some of these foods together in whatever proportion tastes best to you.

Is It Safe?

Nitrate-rich beet juice and extract is not advisable for certain groups of people, including those who have or have had nitrate-containing kidney stones and anyone taking nitroglycerin or Viagra. Since beets are high in sugar, people with diabetes should not drink beet juice either and indeed, if you have any chronic medical condition, you would be well-advised to check first with your doctor. But if you like beet juice and your doctor gives you the thumbs up, it’s safe to say you can’t beat beets for brain health!

Secrets to Making Any Marriage Happier... No Matter How Long You've Been Together

My husband and I recently celebrated our silver wedding anniversary in Bermuda. A few months later, on the eve of her second anniversary, a friend said to me, "I loved what you told me when you got back -- that the best part of the trip was spending time alone with your sweetie. I hope my husband and I still feel that way after 25 years."

Her comment made me ponder: What do long-term couples do to stay happy... and what else could we all do to make our partnerships even stronger? For insights, I turned to psychologist and couples therapist Harville Hendrix, PhD, author of the best seller Getting the Love You Want.

He told me, "We all arrive in adulthood wounded by caretakers who did not or could not respond to all of our childhood needs for security. Entering into romantic love and marriage, we tend to choose someone whose personality traits subconsciously remind us of our caretakers... then, when common situations bring up old insecurities, the wounded child in us reacts automatically and emotionally. The key to a sustainable marriage is to help each other 'finish childhood' by creating a safe, nurturing environment and giving each other what we did not get from our parents. And in fact, what we do to meet our partner’s needs helps develop the undeveloped parts of ourselves."

Dr. Hendrix devised the following exercises as part of his Imago Relationship Therapy technique. They can strengthen bonds between partners -- whether you’ve been married for days or decades. The exercises may seem forced at first, but with practice they come to feel natural.

A special kind of dialogue. Imago (i-MAH-go) is Dr. Hendrix’s term for our composite image of the people who influenced us most at an early age. Imago dialogue is a safe way of communicating and discussing your differences without rupturing the connection between partners. Dr. Hendrix recommended practicing for 15 to 30 minutes daily until this style of dialogue becomes automatic. Then use this technique whenever you need to say something that may be difficult for your partner to hear. To practice: Do all three steps with one person sending the message and the other receiving it... then swap roles.

Step 1: Mirroring. One partner (the sender) makes a statement about an experience or emotion, beginning with "I." The other person (the receiver), listening carefully and visualizing the "wounded child" in the partner, paraphrases what was said and asks if the interpretation was correct. The sender clarifies the message if necessary. Example: The wife says, "I feel upset when you bring work home because we won’t have any time together." The husband, without arguing or defending himself, mirrors her words: "You don’t like it when I bring work home because it means that I won’t pay attention to you. Is that right?" The wife clarifies, "Not exactly. I feel like your work is more important to you than I am." The receiver mirrors again, using words that more exactly reflect the sender’s.

Step 2: Validating. This involves comprehending your partner’s thought process and accepting that it makes sense -- even if you don’t agree. You may ask clarifying questions, but don’t psychoanalyze or judge. Example: The husband says, "You make sense. I can see that bringing work home does interfere with our time together." When the receiver suspends his or her own viewpoint long enough to acknowledge the logic in what the sender says, Dr. Hendrix explained, both partners feel safer with each other.

Step 3: Empathizing. This means coming to understand your partner’s emotions by paying attention to words, tone and facial expression... and asking for confirmation that you perceived these emotions accurately. For instance: The husband says, "I imagine that when you think I am neglecting you in favor of work, you feel hurt by this neglect. Is that right?" Dr. Hendrix pointed out that you do not necessarily have to feel the same emotions as your partner, because it is the demonstration of mutual respect and caring that will bring you closer.

Appreciation dialogue. When we express negativity toward our partner, it boomerangs back to us because it can take hours or days to feel connected again. Antidote: Every day, say at least five positive things (compliments, expressions of gratitude) to your partner. Be specific and try not to repeat yourself. Examples: "It makes me feel cared for when you bring me coffee every morning"... "I admire your courage."

Behavior change request. The purpose is to learn more about each other’s deepest needs -- often the very things you each did not get in childhood -- and provide opportunities to change behaviors to meet those needs. To begin, each partner makes a list of all the things that bother him or her about the other person and the feelings that accompany those frustrations. For instance: "He turns away from me when I cry... I feel abandoned," or "She criticizes me in front of relatives... I feel shamed." Partners do not show these lists to each other.

Next, on a separate sheet of paper, each partner writes the desire hidden in each frustration... a request for a specific action the other person could take to satisfy that desire... and a time limit on that request. Example: "I want to be comforted... for the next month, whenever I’m upset, please hug me for five minutes," or "I want to feel respected... for the next two weeks, whenever we’re with relatives, please pay me a public compliment." When your request lists are done, show them to each other.

The purpose: With these lists, Dr. Hendrix said, "you each have the opportunity to grant your partner one or more of the requests each week, remembering that these are gifts with which you honor each other." Such gifts provide a solid foundation that can help sustain your relationship for years to come.

No Wine in the Weeks Before Surgery?

Q: My doctor told me not to drink wine or other alcoholic beverages for several weeks before my elective surgery -- but I forgot, and I drank. Should I reschedule my procedure?

A: It probably depends on how much and how often you drank. Our study at the University of Massachusetts Medical School analyzed data from more than 300,000 hospital discharge records for elective surgery patients. We found that men and women who drank two or more drinks every day for two weeks prior to surgery were at significantly higher risk for many postoperative complications, including pneumonia, sepsis (systemic infection), surgical site infection and even death. Possible explanation: Daily alcohol consumption, even at levels that generally would not be considered excessive, may cause chronic changes to your liver, immune system and nutritional status -- all of which play a critical role in recovery after surgery.

Bottom line: Surgeons and patients need to weigh the amount and frequency of alcohol use against the importance of the elective surgery. Be honest with your doctor. If forgetting to abstain means that you had one glass of wine a week before the surgery, your doctor may say that it’s not cause for concern. But if you drank nearly every day prior to your procedure date, you and your doctor may want to consider delaying the surgery.

Dear healthwellness82@gmail.com,

It’s not only what’s in a particular food or beverage that’s important -- the can, box, bag or bottle that it comes in has implications for your long-term health as well. Olga Naidenko, PhD, senior scientist with the Washington, DC-based Environmental Working Group, tells about the three types of containers that can hurt your health. Interestingly, certain foods -- including canned chicken soup and ravioli -- are especially unhealthy.

It’s unnerving to think that someone can use your computer and see what information you’ve searched for -- but there are ways to hide your online activities. Randolph Hock, PhD, a former reference librarian who now runs a service called Online Strategies, shares the two tools that you can use if you want to keep your computer activities to yourself.

All the best,

Beware of These Packaged Foods and Drinks

Olga Naidenko, PhD
Environmental Working Group


When you buy a food product, you probably don’t give much thought to the lining of the food cans, for example, or other material used for packaging. But you should be aware that some materials used to package popular foods and beverages are potentially dangerous. For example...


Candy bars, fast food, microwave popcorn, stick butter and take-out pizza. These fatty foods are frequently packaged in materials made with a grease-resistant coating that contains perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a chemical commonly used in stain- and water-resistant coatings.


Problem: Traces of PFOA invariably remain from the manufacturing process, according to an FDA study. PFOA is highly toxic, and once ingested, it remains in your body for years.


Animal studies have linked it to increased risk for liver, pancreatic and testicular cancers, birth defects and developmental problems, a weakened immune system and elevated cholesterol.


Self-defense: Avoid any foods wrapped in grease-resistant paper.


Ask restaurant personnel to put food directly in a paper bag (or to wrap it in foil first, for some foods) without the usual grease-resistant paper wrap or cardboard containers (especially when ordering egg breakfast sandwiches, French fries and chicken nuggets -- all of which tested highest in PFOA levels in one study). Never heat foods in grease-resistant paper -- this increases PFOA exposure.


When heating food in the microwave, I prefer covering it with waxed paper instead of plastic wrap (if it’s natural waxed paper and not chemically treated grease-resistant paper wrap). Use foil when not heating food in a microwave.


Also avoid microwave-ready popcorn -- the bags have PFOA in the lining. Instead, buy loose popcorn and pop it on the stovetop in a pot with a small amount of oil or use an electric hot-air popper. If you can’t avoid grease-resistant packaging, as with store-bought butter, take it out of the wrapping immediately and store in a glass or ceramic container.


Bottled beverages and canned foods and beverages. Bisphenol A (BPA) is a component of hard, clear polycarbonate plastics that are used for bottled water and beverages and in the linings of many canned foods.


While BPA, unlike PFOA, is excreted from the body, 93% of Americans who have been tested have traces of BPA in their urine, according to a recent government analysis.


BPA’s health risks stem from its estrogen-like effects while in the body. Animal studies have linked BPA exposure to reproductive problems, including miscarriage, infertility and birth defects, as well as increased risk for breast and prostate cancers, liver damage, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and metabolic and nerve disorders.


BPA is present in many beverage bottles and five-gallon water-cooler bottles, as well as the epoxy lining of many food and beverage cans. Canned chicken soup and ravioli are the worst offenders.


Also dangerous: Canned tomatoes. That’s because tomatoes’ high acid content causes BPA to leach into the food more readily, as well as the cans of any kind of food that have been on the shelf for a long time. While no such period has been defined, scientists know that the leaching of BPA from can linings is an ongoing process while cans are in supermarkets or stored at home.


Self-defense: Limit your consumption of canned foods and beverages, substituting fresh produce or products in glass containers whenever possible. Eden Organic (888-424-3336, www.EdenFoods.com) is one company now using BPA-free lining for most of its canned foods. Tomatoes are available in protective white enamel-lined cans with minute levels of BPA.


Finally, avoid drinking from plastic beverage bottles or five-gallon plastic water-cooler bottles with the numeral "7" in the recycling triangle on the bottom of the bottle or the letters "PC" (for polycarbonate).


For those concerned about tap-water quality, the best option is to install a water filter. (Learn about filtration systems at www.ewg.org/tap-water/getawaterfilter).


Food and drinks packaged in Styrofoam. Polystyrene (found in Styrofoam food and beverage containers) has been found to leach into liquids and food -- particularly in the presence of heat, fats, acid or alcohol. Polystyrene invariably contains residual traces of the chemical styrene, which has been linked to nerve damage and cancer risk.


Self-defense: Don’t drink beverages from Styrofoam cups -- especially heated liquids such as coffee, tea (particularly tea with lemon, which appears to increase leaching) or hot chocolate... fatty liquids, such as milk... or alcoholic drinks.


The same goes for fatty liquids, such as olive oil or oil-based sauces and dressings, which also should not be stored in Styrofoam.


Avoid meats and other foods packaged with Styrofoam backing. When ordering take-out food, request non-Styrofoam containers. Never microwave food in Styrofoam.


Important: It may seem difficult to follow all of this advice all of the time, but you are likely to benefit from just being aware of the risks and limiting your exposure whenever possible.

Answers to Your Questions from Bottom Line Experts

Q: Is there a way to surf the Web anonymously so that the sites I visit don’t know that I have been there?

A: There are ways to surf anonymously, although there is no guarantee that what you do won’t be seen. Here are two options...

An anonymizer hides information that is coming from the user’s computer. It often is used by government agencies and corporations -- it can make communication seem to come from an entirely different place. A company called Anonymizer (www.Anonymizer.com) is a major provider of this type of service for $80 a year.

Onion routing is another method of disguising the origin of most Internet activity. It can be complicated, making it more appropriate for advanced users. You can use onion routing for free through www.TorProject.org.
