White Flour is Poison!
Have you ever read the ingredients for certain food products and seen ‘bleached flour’? When flour is made it is actually not white and has a certain odor to it so it is bleached to make it whiter and take out the odor. Bleached flour also has a longer shelf life. The most common bleaching agent in flour is exactly the bleaching agent we use at home: chlorine. The chlorine used to make white bread is in the form of chlorine dioxide gas.

The Need to Eat Organic Produce
A common questio I get from my patients ‘is it worth the money to buy organic?’ It is a very good question and let me explain to you why the answer is yes. Eating organic produce is not just about avoiding pesticides and fungicides but about eating food that is more nutrient dense. Organic foods actually have more vitamins and minerals in them. Since the 1950s the USDA has kept record of the nutrient content of 43 commercially grown crops.

Water: For the Health of It!
The idea of unhealthy vs. healthy water may be a new one to you because it’s rarely a topic of nutrition and diet books and can be really confusing. Should the water be from the tap or bottled, hard or soft, spring, distilled, mineral or sparkling? The evidence points to bottled hard water, which is bottled water rich in mineral ions, as being of great value in promoting overall health. Bottled water is important because it doesn’t have a number of harmful chemicals in it that tap water has.

Agave Syrup is NOT Natural!
Agave syrup is advertised as a "100% natural sweetener." Yet it is actually a highly refined form of fructose and is even more concentrated than the high fructose corn syrup used in sodas. Refined fructose is not a 'natural' sugar, and countless studies implicate it as a sweetener that will contribute to disease. Therefore, agave syrup is not a health promoting product, but rather a misleading marketed form of a highly processed and refined sweetener. The principal constituent of the agave is starch, such as what is found in corn or rice.

The Truth About Cholesterol!
When someone’s cholesterol is high the first piece of advice their doctor usually gives them is to lower the amount of cholesterol in the diet. Our grocery stores are packed with ‘cholesterol free’ foods because of such advice Unfortunately it’s all a myth for it has been shown that if one increases their dietary cholesterol the body will make less cholesterol and total cholesterol levels in the blood will actually decrease. (Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology. 1996;16:1222-1228.) The real issue is the quantity and type of fat that influences cholesterol levels.

Gamma Radiation Groceries
You don’t smell it; you don’t taste it, but it’s approved as an additive by the FDA. It’s called irradiation and is used on fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, poultry, wheat, eggs, herbs, and spices. Irradiation is a “cold sterilization” process involving gamma rays from nuclear material, x-rays or high energy electrons. It has been used for many years to kill insects in wheat and flour and control microbial contamination of spices and seasonings, as well as to destroy parasites in meat and poultry but without taking its toll.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Dr. Alicia Armitstead
I believe that the body has the power to heal itself. When someone has a health issue the best health care is to support the body to take care of itself. Whether the body needs help getting rid of heavy metal toxicity, increasing its metabolism, or help with food sensitivities these are all things that need to be addressed to obtain optimal health. When addressing such issues whole food supplements are the only way real health can be restored. The body does not know what to do with synthetic vitamins and treats them like toxins but with whole food supplements the body can really heal because it does know what to do with food.
