For most of us what we eat has not impacted our life to the point where we have faced the possibility of death. For the most part we live with “minor” problems that irritate us from time to time; heartburn, nausea, skin problems, acne and many many others. So the urgency for us to...

I hope you all enjoyed the last post. And I also hope that the two videos urged you to look further into the subject of agave. I will admit – I was pretty taken with agave. How awesome it was! You mean there is a sweetener out there that has a low impact on your body- and comes from a...

We have all heard that calcium is important – and well – it is! But I think that what we have been told about calcium by mainstream “health advocates” may be deceiving and misleading. We have all been told that dairy products are the best place to get our calcium and...
