Perils of sugar-free food (1 of 2)

Good morning everyone. Most of us people love to eat. Even we are not hungry we just eat life that. As it is our hobbies. Many love to eat sweets but they don’t want to get fat with it. So sometimes when they buy sweets foods they are looking to the tag that says it is sugar-free. But there is a danger of sugar-free foods.


ACCORDING TO DR. EARL MINDELL’S “Vitamin Bible For The 21st Century,” people who drink diet sodas or eat food with sugar substitutes end up eating an average of 11 percent more fat. Dr. Mindell says the body has a tendency to make up for the loss of sugar by having more appetite for fat. Vitamin CAccording to the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University, daily Vitamin C supplements reduce the risk of developing cataracts. There are many forms of Vitamin C—from ascorbic acid to ester C to sodium ascorbate to calcium ascorbate. A new arrival in town is the US-manufactured Miracle C, which is calcium ascorbate (not derived from sodium). It’s safe enough to consume on an empty stomach (unlike ascorbic acid).


Moreover, innumerable testimonies on the regular intake of 1,500-3,000 mg of Vitamin C say it can help prevent cold or flu. Call the Miracle C hotline, 7233878. Sources of carotenoidOkra, spinach and watercress are natural sources of zeaxanthin, a carotenoid (phytochemical and antioxidant in plant-based food). It helps protect the eyes from free-radical damage and loss of vision. Cory Quirino
