Ten teaspoons of sugar should be enough to get you thru your day, but todays diet is packed with much more. That cup of flavored coffee and bran muffin you ate as you drove into work today probably had almost double that much – and that was just one meal. Add in two snacks and to more meals and you can see that we consume way too much sugar.
The World Health Organization, for what its worth, says 20 teaspoons of sugar is plenty. But we go way beyond that. Read the label and look for hidden sugar: Sucrose is essentially the same as table sugar. Lactose is sugar found in milk. Fructose is the natural sugar in fruits. Why do you think that smoothie tastes so good? But here’s the biggie sugar in your diet: HFCS or high fructose corn syrup. Its cheap and its in everything. Cokes, candy, glaze. Remember when coke products were sweetened with beet sugar?
Currently we are eating three times the fructose we should. Dr. Richard Johnson at the University of Florida (wonder how much sugar (fructose) is in Gatorade?) says that in the 1920’s the obesity rte was just 5 to 7 percent of the U.S. population. Now its 30% and growing. Americans consumed about a third the sugars they no do.

The best deal on the web for Hoodia: Three bottles for $29.99.
Deb Vickery, a representative at Stella Labs, an established US supplier of hoodia gordonii, suggests that perhaps the biggest benefits will be seen in the morbidly obese, whose weight problem is compounded by depression. Many people experience a “feel-good” effect with the native plant in its natural form. Vickery says it gives you an overall sense of well-being.
And as if that’s not enough, imagine feeling good, controlling your weight, and reversing diabetes. Obesity and type 2 diabetes go hand-in-hand, and weight loss in obese individuals tends to reverse the symptoms of diabetes.
So if hoodia can help you decrease your weight, it may help you control type 2 diabetes as well. Two papers published a few years ago claimed that hoodia produced “modest decreases” in blood glucose in both lean and obese (but nondiabetic) rats.5 Although the jury is still out on this, any degree of reversal of diabetes is positive.

Metabadrine is back, sort of. It can no longer be made, but the re is a small stock of it left.
DUMMERSTON, Vt. — There’s no getting around it: fat tastes good. In fact, fat tastes great. So there’s this television commercial, Wendy’s, I think, and instead of French fries, our national food, a man orders a baked potato with his breaded and fried whatever-nuggets. Everyone in the restaurant falls over in their chairs. A baked potato instead of fries!
He’s a hero, this guy. People applaud as he walks away from the counter, and a pretty blonde pantomimes “Call me.” But if you look at his plate, the potato is split and jammed like an ice cream sundae with mounds of white fluffy sour cream. And how much do you want to bet there’s butter under there, too?
Because as I said, fat tastes great, and when there’s an abundance of food around, and you can indulge yourself in whatever instant gratification you’re able to dream up, fat is going to be high on the list. Along with sugar, I guess, since America, according to another commercial, runs on Dunkin’ Donuts’ sugar delivery systems.
Even in what might pass for a healthier commercial -say one for low-fat Hood milk – the message takes a dive when, after drinking the milk, the kid “cleanses his palate” with a giant chocolate-chip cookie.
Today it’s common knowledge that one out of three Americans, or 62 million of us, are overweight. We’re seeing four-year-olds with Type 2 diabetes, which used to be called “adult onset” diabetes. Obesity is challenging smoking as the nation’s greatest health risk.
Peoples’ eating habits are so far out of control that stapling someone’s stomach so they can’t jam more food into it seems like a reasonable option. Ads for “Tuscan chicken sandwiches” dripping with melted cheese on toasted bread the size of a Kia Sedona alternate with ads for diet pills and home exercise machines that I, a college graduate, couldn’t put together, much less use.
And if what you enjoy eating disagrees with you, giving you acid indigestion, gas or heartburn, instead of taking that as a warning sign to stop eating it, take a pill and start all over again. Read more.
Warning: Fake Ephedra is being sold. Look on the label. It will state “ephedra Leaves”. This ingredient is legal and ineffective – it will not work.
Metabadrine is the only real ephedra diet pills that we are aware of remaining on the market.
A state of emergency exists in the weight loss pill market. We can no longer make ephedra products and as of November 18, 2007, this is not going to change. We have lobbied congress

Last call for Ephedra weight loss product. Real ephedra, with alkaloids, in stock. Once it sells out, no more can be made.
New Protein Source Has Pitt Researchers Thinking Diabetes, Obesity Fight
A protein energy source could one day help figure out more information on obesity, diabetes and other diseases according to researchers at the University of Pittsburgh. Scientist say they’ve cracked the code of a three-dimensional protein structure that could solve some of the puzzle in the battle of obesity and diabetes.
The research was reported in the March 4 issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Obesity is one disease that plagues of the 21st century. With it comes other diseases like diabetes and heart disease, which are ailments that break down the body and kill.
Now, the finding of a three-dimensional membrane-encased enzyme could offer some insight.
The protein structure is sugar-alcohol-glycerol. It’s an important source of energy needed by all cells in the body. The protein powers some of the most central body reactions, including regulation of fatty acids and sugar metabolism.
If researchers can solve the puzzle of how cells break down, produce and use glycerol, they might be able to figure how glycerol can fight obesity, diabetes and other chronic disorders.
