I did think about going to gym, but had some housework I needed to do, ironing and also I wanted to cook a batch of veggies in the oven for the weekend....( my house stinks of cooked veggies right now )
Aspartame and Multiple Sclerosis - Neurosurgeon's Warning
Aspartame is a low calorie sweetener. Called a potent neurotoxin by several researchers, it is being sold as a sugar substitute for those on low calorie diets and for diabetics. If you like Coke or Pepsi "light", you certainly are at risk, but both industry and health officials deny that there is any truth to this story. Manufacturers have recently beensued in California.
Trade names for Aspartame are NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, Canderel, Benevia, Misura, but in Europe we often cannot recognize that Aspartame is part of what we're about to swallow unless we know that it also hides behind the seemingly innocuous "E 951" label. We might also watch out for warnings on food and drink labels that say: "contains a source of phenylalanine" or "phenylchetonurics should not consume this product".
In truth, no one should be consuming Aspartame and those responsible for putting it on the market - Donald Rumsfeld had a part in politically forcing its approval - should be held responsible for unleashing an agent of chemical warfare on an unsuspecting public.
Dr. Russell Blaylock, a recently retired neurosurgeon, has been warning for years and has even authored a book "Excitotoxins: The Taste That Kills". Blaylock says that Aspartame and Multiple Sclerosis are closely related. Unfortunately the Multiple Sclerosis society denies there is any connection between MS and Aspartame. The Society has chosen, according to Betty Martini, to hang on to industry funding rather than to warn its members. Blaylock explains the biological mechanism by which Aspartame circumvents the blood-brain-barrier and gets at the vital nervous tissues - the grey matter in our heads:
Although I feel that the contestants are horribly ill-prepared for that marathon and I disagree with them doing it under those circumstances ... I will say that it really does motivate me to tackle a challenge like that myself. If these people can drive themselves to finish something like that with the shape they are in, then surely I can too.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Heidi on running a marathon like that but you have to admire them for doing it! Honestly: don't think I could do a marathon.
ReplyDeleteGreat work on doing your exercises during the program.
132K - good job Marcelle!!! I am very impressed. I inspire you to run, and you inspire me to workout. We make a great team I think.
ReplyDeleteWill be thinking of you in the hopsital. I know it's not what you want to be doing, but it has to be done and better to get it over with. You should be all recovered and ready to go when you leave for SA.
I can't wait to live next to Angie to have a work out buddy. I know it would be great to live next to you. I agree with running in the cold.Heck I have enough trouble running in the summer. Soon I will have some tv channels. Hopefully I will get shows that motivate me to!
ReplyDeleteYou are finding amazing clean, healthy foods in Germany. And, you thought it would be hard!?!
ReplyDeleteAs always, your food looks delicious - makes me crave good, healthy food! You've searched out some awesome sources. Can't wait to see your photo shoot - be sure and share some.
