"In Europe, pharmaceutical companies have been manufacturing natural steroidal hormones for decades in suppository, injectable, or pessary (vaginal) form. Not long after the discovery of hormones, researchers came to understand that hormones lost 90% of their effectiveness when swallowed. However, as a suppository or pessary, the hormones are quite effective..."

"With overflowing gratitude, I'd like to announce that we have almost sold out of the 1st print of Learning to Thrive in a Toxic World! We will reprint, but it may take some time, so get your 1st print copy while they last!
I would also like to remind all of those who have purchased my book to look under Literature Updates on my website, https://lnkd.in/gKZuzHWb, for new information that didn't make it into the book. There are a few but very important discoveries that took place between publishing and now, and so I have put together several blogs with explanations.
I thank you for supporting my work, but what really excites me is knowing so many of you have a healthcare textbook designed to help in understanding more about what makes the industry and your biochemistry tick." - Lisa Everett Andersen - Author

"You've read my post regarding an actual healthy food guide pyramid - so how, year after year, does the government approved food guide get so off base?
The government's decisions and law-making often cater to special interest groups or the most rich and powerful companies."

"I posted an analytical study that supports plant-based lifestyles as having more positive health effects than other diets. Today, we'll look at two more studies. First, Associations between plant-based dietary patterns and risks of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and mortality - a systematic review and meta-analysis, reviewed 76 publications involving 2,230,443 participants. And you guessed it: the whole-foods, plant-based diet was found 'beneficial for lowering the risks of major chronic conditions, including T2D, CVD, cancer, as well as premature deaths'"

"An analytical study which basically asked "What would happen if the world went plant-based?" predicted some pretty amazing answers. First, global mortality would decrease by 6-10%. This doesn't seem like much, and frankly I think those numbers would actually be higher, but 6-10% of the global population - that's 498 million to 800 million people who would have healthier, longer lives."

"Of course the new U.S. Dietary Guidelines and food guide pyramid are nothing more than suggestions, however, when suggestions come from a government health entity and encourage what we know will result in poor health, it's very frustrating. As a healthcare practitioner with a private consulting practice, I've been re-educating people about what an actual healthy diet looks like for years. It's not always easy, even with proof, because people are emotionally tied to their food and look for contradictory efforts, like the new food guide pyramid, to convince themselves it's ok to continue eating the meat, dairy, and eggs they think they can't live without. "

"Continuing our talk about the impact to our health & planet from the "new" dietary guidelines.
The guidelines encourage what's already a diabetic inducing, obesity making, disease inciting obsession with meat, eggs, & dairy. Since the 1960s, global meat consumption has nearly doubled. This shows that eating more meat does not equate to healthier people, & the impact animal product production has on our environment.
Facts: Livestock use approx. 77% of global agricultural land and eat 50% of all grain grown around the world. Cows eat 135 billion lbs of food/day, while humans eat 21 billion lbs. The Worldwatch Institute has reported that livestock is responsible for 51% of all greenhouse gas emissions."
