I've been thinking about health stuff lately. This past week I saw three things that had to do with how our bodies process food.
It got my attention.
1. Trim Healthy Mama: Sugar levels can sky rocket when there is not enough healthy fat and protein to counteract sugar consumption. There are some recommended supplements to take to aid the digestive track in processing food. THM advocates a more natural food diet. I'm learning this new system of eating, and it's very scientific.
2. Bees that gather pollen/nectar from GMO plants process a genetically altered honey in their systems. This has an effect on their hives, their offspring, and us, if we eat their honey. It is a different substance than from natural flowers. I watched "Queen of the Sun," a documentary about the plight of the honeybee worldwide. Evidence that GMO's are harmful to bees--and subsequently us-- was presented.
3. GMO's are in our own direct food supply (high fructose corn syrup) and they are also altering our digestive tracks. The idea that we can genetically alter our own bodies is gaining strength and acceptance, despite the ethical and moral dilemmas that arise from embracing this. I watched a very interesting lecture: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hZOTl3J9Ow
When you get the message three times in one week you start to wonder about it!
Passing on the information. You're welcome :)
