Dr Weil
October 2006http://drweilselfhealing.com/ Read a sampling of articles from Dr. Weil's newsletter self healing. The October printed newsletter carries an article on high fructose corn syrup , something we've frequently discussed in classes and private sessions. That article hasn't shown up on the web site yet, so I've copied some excerpts: "It amazes me how ubiquitous HFCS has become in food products today. Most people know this ingredient can be found in sodas. cookies, jams, fruit beverages and candy. But it can also be lurking in products you might not consider sweet, such as bread, beer, yogurt, ketchup and baby food. "HFCS is a liquid sweetener made by treating starch extracted from corn with enzymes, which convert it to an approximately equal mixture of 2 sugars, fructose and glucose. Fructose is much sweeter than glucose but is not as readily metabolized by the body. The food industry likes HFCS because it's about 20 percent cheaper than sugar.... it acts as a stabilizer and preservative in food.... "Many recent studies have reported the sweetener's negative effects.... elevated triglyceride levels, blood fats which cause heart disease, and insulin resistance, which may lead to type 2 diabetes, have been linked to too much fructose in the diet, and both are often associated with weight gain. The levels of fructose found naturally in fruit and honey are too low to have these ill effects. "I don't think it's a coincidence that obesity rates have risen dramatically since the introduction of HFCS into mainstream products, which began in the 1970s... XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Hypnosis

to improve performance, or simply for relaxation? Here's the web site
