Coffee - Pleasure or Pain |
Of the world’s
population, 80% consumes caffeinated beverages – Coffee is the most
widely consumed of all these stimulating drinks. The user is seeking
enhancements in mood, mental performance, and physical activity.
(Starbucks’ popularity can be directly tied to the potency of their brew
– 550 mg of caffeine per Coffee Grande.) Within minutes of that first
morning cup, people become keener, more alert, and wide awake. Not only
is the mind awakened but so are the bowels – a cup of coffee starts the
day right with a vigorous elimination. For some people, coffee serves
as a weight loss aid by suppressing appetite and increasing metabolism
(burning calories). If not for the side effects, this might be the
ideal legal, mind-altering, drug. But, as with all drugs, there are
prices to be paid. |

Over-treat Your
Blood Pressure and You Could Die Sooner |
If you have high blood
pressure, your doctor may insist that your blood pressure must be
lowered all the way to “normal” (110/70 mmHg* or less) – but he’s dead
wrong. And no matter how much the pharmaceutical companies protest with
their billions of dollars of marketing money for research and
advertising, over-treatment of your hypertension increases your risk of
heart attacks, strokes, and early death.
Your doctor may tell you that by treating your high blood pressure with
drugs you will cut your risk of a stroke almost in half. You think,
“I’d be a fool to take that risk. If I don’t take the pills I will
certainly have a stroke and the medication is unquestionably
beneficial.” |

The Skinny on Atkins, Part II
By Michael Greger, M.D. |
The
current Director of Nutrition at Harvard advises that all
physicians should produce a handout warning about all of the
adverse effects of the Atkins Diet. Not only should the
handout explain explicitly that the diet may increase one’s
risk of heart disease, cancer, and stroke, but also that
"Other health risks include… dizziness, headaches,
confusion, nausea, fatigue, sleep problems, irritability,
bad breath, and worsening of gout and kidney problems;
osteoporosis, since a high ratio of animal to vegetable
protein intake may increase bone loss and the risk of hip
fracture in elderly women; a rise in blood pressure with
age…and rapid falling blood pressure upon standing up
(orthostatic hypotension), which can… put older patients at
higher risk for falls."253 After running through the adverse
effects associated with ketosis, the American institute for
Cancer Research wrote, "Those are the short-term effects.
The long-term effects are even more dire." |
