Video: Food Addiction & Emotional Overeating by Dr. Joel Fuhrman

Dear brothers and sisters,

We are privileged to present a brilliant and passionate talk by New York Times best-selling author Dr Joel Fuhrman on what drives people to binge on ultra processed and junk foods.This is really an outline of an unfolding American tragedy wherein nearly 40% of the population are obese and another 30% are overweight. In a situation as imbalanced as this, is it any wonder that a pandemic has struck?

Dr. Fuhrman’s profound insights seem to vindicate the belief that mankind never sets itself a problem that it cannot solve.

As always we welcome your comments and suggestions.

Please accept our best wishes for good health, prosperity and success to you and your family,

Jesse Schwartz PhD

This olive oil is very fresh and rich in antioxidants. It has a high available biophenol content : 605 ppm (parts per million) compared with 222 ppm for most extra virgin olive oils. In other words its biophenol content is 2.7 times the average. Very high phenolic content and excellent stability should provide long shelf life of over a year as well as beneficial health value. This olive oil has, along with its bitterness and pungency, mineral and green vegetable organoleptic characteristics.

We invite you to rejoice in its robust, sharp flavor. Those in the know will understand how its pungency enhances the flavors of food.

When analyzed by World Olive Labs (Greece) it has been shown to have very high levels of oleocanthal, oleacein and oleuropein aglycon. These are all natural biophenols. We suggest you research their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, cardioprotective and neuroprotective activity.

I wanted to thank you for getting my order of the Lake Baikal pine nuts out to me so quickly! My friends loved the quinoa salad I made for them today. I probably should order more at one time because they are so good.
Be well,
Justine

Thank you for making such a great product. My kiddos have a life threatening peanut allergy and your almond butter is the only one they’ll eat. We have tried other brands but we always come back to your almond butter. I love that it is still possible to spread it at the bottom of the jar!
Kind regards,

Birds Are Vanishing From North America

Remote image

(NY Times) The skies are emptying out.

The number of birds in the United States and Canada has fallen by 29 percent since 1970, scientists reported on Thursday. There are 2.9 billion fewer birds taking wing now than there were 50 years ago.

The analysis, published in the journal Science, is the most exhaustive and ambitious attempt yet to learn what is happening to avian populations. The results have shocked researchers and conservation organizations.

In a statement on Thursday, David Yarnold, president and chief executive of the National Audubon Society, called the findings “a full-blown crisis.”

Experts have long known that some bird species have become vulnerable to extinction. But the new study, based on a broad survey of more than 500 species, reveals steep losses even among such traditionally abundant birds as robins and sparrows.
