Dark Secrets - Beware of Hidden Talc In Capsules
Unbelievably, almost all manufacturers use talcum powder, a suspect human carcinogen, in their high speed encapsulators to produce encapsulated products. Manufacturers reps say, "You can run most products the best by adding 1 to 2% talcum powder per capsule", and for almost all high speed capsule manufacturers, that is exactly what is done. Ask if your supplier if they use nontoxic ways to run products without talcum powder or other toxic agents.
The elixir of life, probably one of natures best kept secrets!
On November 1 2004 the FDA(Food and Drug Administration, USA) now permits the following claim on olive oil labels:"Limited and not conclusive scientific evidence suggests that eating about two tablespoons (23Grams) of olive oil daily may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease due to monounsaturated fat in olive oil. To achieve this possible benefit, olive should replace a similar amount of saturated fat and not in increase the total amount of calories you eat in a day" We and others believe we can go further in that:
Read on: Nutritional Information Olive oil’s main benefit is cardiovascular. Of all the commonly available oils, olive oil is the highest in monounsaturated fat. This type of fat is known to lower blood cholesterol levels. Olive oil is also an excellent source of antioxidants, which protect
the heart. Olive oil should be used in everyday cooking. It can be used in salads or added to any recipe. It is perfect even for frying. Olive oil is the healthiest oil with no cholesterol and rich in vitamins. Medical studies indicate that Mediterranean countries particularly Greece where olive oil consumption is high have less cardiovascular disease than any other country. Reducing the intake of animal fats and increasing the intake of olive oil is a perfect combination for the prevention of arteriosclerosis and heart attacks. Can olive oil reduce the effects of ageing? A major cause of the degeneration of cells is the accumulation of free radicals which are produced by the oxidization of the fatty tissues of the body. Vitamin E, phenols and other anti oxidizing substances protect the human body from the negative effects of free radicals. Olive oil contains a high percentage of phenols and vitamin E and as a result helps delay the ageing process.
Can olive oil help prevent heart attacks? Research into whether olive oil reduces the blood’s clotting ability which would in turn mean fewer heart attacks showed that levels of blood coagulation factor VII were significantly lower in those who ate olive oil as part of their diet. The study’s conclusion was that olive oil may lower the pro coagulant tendency of fatty meals which could explain the low incidence of heart attacks in Mediterranean countries. Can olive oil protect against colon cancer? Although it is not clear what specific property of olive oil has this effect those undertaking the study suggested it may be partly due to a lowering of inflammation chemicals in the gut. Olive oil has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects in several other studies. Studies also suggest that olive oil can decrease the incidence of breast cancer. Can olive oil help prevent arteriosclerosis? Tests on hamsters fed a diet high in cholesterol, have shown that those fed olive oil had less arteriosclerosis. Arteriosclerosis is a disease of the walls of the arteries where fats are deposited and inflammation changes causes scarring and narrowing, which can eventually cause clots and total blockage. Blockages can cause strokes and heart attacks. High levels of LDL cholesterol
in the blood accelerate the fat deposits while HDL cholesterol seems to
be protective. Olive oil act as an aphrodisiac? Are there any possible adverse effects?
