I had to borrow that title from Dr. Mercola's site which I regularly follow. Just like the Body Ecology Diet of Diana Gates which I previously posted, Dr. Mercola does not recommend a one size fits all diet.  Each person will respond differently to food depending on many factors such as genetics, biochemical makeup, family history, and your own interaction with your environment.

I’m diabetic and my cousin and I noticed by blood sugar rises whenever I eat pasta. My cousin who is also my doctor told me wheat increases blood sugar.

I just read an article of Dr. Mercola which explains some ills of the commercial flour which I want to share with my readers.

What is the safest artificial sweetener? For diabetics like me this is a constant concern as many studies are coming out on the harmful effects of some of them starting from aspartame. I stumbled upon this very informative video which helped me determine which product to use.

My Ayurvedda doctor does not allow us to use Splenda.  He says it is not good for our body.  He would rather the diabetics use Mozcovado rather than this artificial sweetner.

That’s the message from the founding father of modern medicine echoed in the controversial new documentary film ‘Food Matters’ from first time Producer-Directors James Colqhuoun and Laurentine ten Bosch.

“With nutritionally-depleted foods, chemical additives and ourtendency to rely upon pharmaceutical drugs to treat what’s wrong with our malnourished bodies, it’s no wonder that modern society is getting sicker. ‘Food Matters’ sets about uncovering the trillion dollar worldwide “Sickness Industry” and giving people some scientifically verifiable solutions for curing disease naturally.” – James
