Even "toxin-free" plastic products aren't safe

Why “BPA-free” Isn’t as Free
as it Claims to Be!

You might be familiar with the health dangers associated with exposure to the chemical bisphenol-A (BPA) used to manufacture plastics.

This chemical is a polycarbonate used to harden the plastics that make up your water bottles… plates… sunglasses… the lining of canned goods… and hundreds of other products most people use often.

Many people try to avoid products that contain BPA. But now new evidence suggests you need to go beyond that. Keep reading for more...

Drink This and Cancer Comes Pouring Out of Your Body     "If I could pick only one treatment to cure my cancer, this would be it," says a top expert on alternative cancer treatments.     Research conducted by a scientist at the Detroit Institute of Cancer Research showed this is one of the world's most powerful cancer cures. Even the mainstream National Cancer Institute confirmed that this do-it-yourself treatment kills cancer cells. Then they buried the research.     Personally, I've been writing about cancer treatments for almost seven years. Out of nearly 400 that I've investigated, I haven't found an at-home treatment that's better.     It worked for Robert, age 54, who had late stage stomach cancer. His doctors told him he didn't have a chance. The most they could do was buy him a little time, using four aggressive chemotherapy drugs PLUS radiation — a deadly, toxic, last-ditch treatment.     INSTEAD Robert used this non-toxic liquid and was completely cancer-free within months. The amazed doctor was forced to admit Robert's cancer was "in remission." Two years later, he was still cancer-free.     Click the link below to watch an important video presentation about this discovery...

The science and medical communities know that continued exposure to BPA throws your hormones out of whack—and even increases your risk of various types of cancer.

In an earlier story (Issue #196), I told you that a team of University of Cincinnati scientists found BPA acts as a synthetic form of the estrogen hormone.

These researchers found that when human breast cancer cells were exposed to low levels of BPA, the chemical stimulated the production of proteins that prevented cancer cells from being killed by chemotherapy drugs.

Despite the evidence of the health dangers BPA poses, the Food and Drug Administration continues to favor its use. The agency claims that most human bodies can easily process and expel low levels of this chemical.

With this kind of pro-BPA propaganda in place, it’s little wonder that this bizarre chemical has been found in the urine samples of about 95 percent of the American population!

In efforts to appease some environmental groups and concerned citizens, the FDA has updated its position to express “concern about the potential effects of BPA on the brain, behavior, and prostate gland in fetuses, infants, and young children.”

In a show of good faith, the FDA is now:

• Supporting industry actions to stop producing BPA-containing baby bottles and infant feeding cups for the U.S. market;
• Facilitating the development of alternatives to BPA for the linings of infant formula cans; and
• Supporting efforts to replace BPA or minimize BPA levels in other food can linings.

Before you breathe a sigh of relief and congratulate the government for protecting the public from a massive health destroyer, first ask this question:

How safe are the alternatives to BPA?

Well, you should know that one study concluded…

Even BPA-free plastics dump toxic chemicals
into your food and water!

A study conducted by PlastiPure, a technology company that works on developing safe plastics, performed lab tests on more than 20 top-brand baby bottles and more than 450 plastic food and beverage containers.

They bought hundreds of these containers at various retailers including

• Target
• Trader Joe's
• Wal-Mart
• Whole Foods
• And many other companies

Their tests included deli containers… flexible wraps… hard plastic containers… and plastic bags.

According to results published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, the researchers cut the plastic items into pieces, then put them in liquids that simulated foods and drinks.

They subjected each of the test samples to activities that mimic normal use, such as boiling water, microwaves and ultraviolet light similar to what’s found in sunlight.

The solutions were then applied to a type of breast cancer cell that multiplies quickly when exposed to estrogenic chemicals.

The researchers were shocked to find that over 90 percent of these plastic products leached estrogen-mimicking chemicals even BEFORE they were put through stresses!

And after being stressed, just about ALL of the plastics showed estrogenic activity when applied to the cancer cells!

Unlike the researchers in this experiment, most of us may not heat such containers before we consume whatever’s in them, but keep in mind that the food contents may have been hot at the time of manufacture. And of course, microwaving food in plastic containers is common. Even leaving a drink container in the sun may stimulate the release of these chemicals.

And keep in mind, most of the products they tested sported a “BPA free” label. Based on their results, the researchers concluded that there are thousands of possible chemicals that act much like BPA.

That part is news. It’s not just about BPA anymore.

And in some cases, these BPA replacement chemicals produce more estrogenic activity than does BPA itself!

Study author Stuart Yaniger, vice president of research and product development at PlastiPure, told Discovery News that it’s not their intention to send an anti-plastic message.

Yaniger said that it is very easy to make plastic without estrogenic properties. "Plastics are good, but they can be made safer."

Amen to that. I have a bad reaction to the gases given off by plastics used in the interiors of cars or in consumer electronic items such as televisions and computers. I don’t have to wait 20 years till they give me cancer – they make me sick within minutes.

Some cars and other products made of plastic release these gases, some don’t. It would be simple for the manufactures to use the non-toxic types of plastic. But they don’t bother.

So how can you protect yourself?

Truth is, it’s darn near impossible to know which plastic products might contain hormone-disrupting chemicals.

But there are some things you can do to help minimize your exposure to the fake hormones these chemicals produce.

Mayo Clinic nutritionist Katherine Zeratsky, R.D., L.D., suggests these protective measures:

• Continue to seek out BPA-free products. If a product isn't labeled, keep in mind that some, but not all, plastics marked with recycle codes 3 or 7 may be made with BPA. On bottles, the code us usually found on the bottom.
• Avoiding canned foods and drinks (not a bad idea anyway, for a whole list of reasons). Most canned foods are lined with BPA-containing resin.
• Avoid heat. The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences advises against microwaving polycarbonate plastics or putting them in the dishwasher, because the plastic may break down over time and allow BPA to leach into foods.
• Use alternatives. Use glass, porcelain or stainless steel containers for hot foods and liquids instead of plastic containers.

These suggestions might not be a perfect solution to the problem… but it certainly won’t hurt to make these simple changes!

I’m a regular at a health food café where they serve soup-to-go in plastic containers. Bad idea. I asked them if the containers were rated to stand up to heat. They said yes. All the same, I’m not going to buy carryout soup at that place anymore.

Lincoln’s Long Range Game Deadly in Bowie State Bulldogs 71-50 Division Loss


LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa. – The Lincoln Lions shot a blistering 66.7 percent behind the 3-point line in the first half and cruised to a 71-50 victory over Bowie State. This marked the worst loss to Lincoln since the 1985-1986 season. In that game, also played at Lincoln, the Lions won 100-88.

Bulldogs junior Cameron Knox (Baltimore, Md.) paced Bowie State with a team-high 12 points, while senior Carlos Smith (Baltimore, Md.) added 10 points and a team-high six rebounds.

The Bulldogs shot a disappointing 5-of-23 from the field in the first half (21.7 percent) but did manage 62.5 percent (10-of-16) from the charity stripe in period one.

Lincoln began the second half just as the first, as Tony Efese (Spring Valley, N.Y.) drilled back-to-back 3-pointers. Efese recorded 20 points and 10 rebounds, both game-highs to lead the Lions. Kyle Aiken (Randolph, N.Y.) chipped in 13 points and Justin Jackson along with Derrick Washington added 10 points each.

The Lions lead ballooned to 32 points twice in the second half (54-22 and 56-24). Bowie State was close only once the entire game, with Lincoln holding a 3-2 lead in the first minute of the contest.

Bowie State was out-rebounded 43-34 but held a 24-20 points in the paint advantage. The Bulldogs did manage to shoot better in the second half, hitting 10-of-24 from the field, but missed all nine of their 3-point field goal attempts.

Lincoln cooled down a bit in the final period, making only 8-of 28 field goals with three of those being 3-pointers.

The Bulldogs had plenty of free throw opportunities, making 20-of-31 from the charity stripe compared to 10-of-13 for the Lions.

Bowie State’s Bulldogs will look to get back on track when they travel to Virginia Union for a  night clash with the Panthers. Game time in VUU’s Barco-Stevens Hall is 7:30pm

.Lincoln Regroups to Defeat Bowie State Lady Bulldogs 54-43


LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa. – Bowie State University women’s basketball started strong but fizzled in the end, dropping a 52-43 decision to The Lincoln University. The loss marks BSU’s sixth consecutive setback and puts the Lady Bulldogs record at 6-9 overall, 1-6 in the CIAA and 0-1 in the North.

The Lady Bulldogs jumped out to an early 4-0 lead and extended that lead to 12-4 by the first media timeout. In the first 10 minutes, Bowie State is shooting 47 percent from the field, which includes 42.9 behind the 3-point line.

Bowie State pushed the lead to 21-9 on a short jumper in the paint by junior Ashley Castle (Brooklyn, N.Y.). However, the Lady Bulldogs went without a field goal over the final 4:16 of the first half and held a slim 26-24 lead at halftime.

Each team committed double-digit turnovers over the first 20 minutes as Bowie State committed 11 and Lincoln 10.

The Lady Bulldogs shot 40.7 percent from the field (11-of-27) in the first half compared to 35.7 percent (10-of-28) for the Lincoln Lady Lions.

Cynthia Johnson (Baltimore, Md.) gave Lincoln their first lead (27-26) of the afternoon on a 3-point play just after the start of the second half.

Junior Donia Naylor (Washington, D.C.) made one of two free throws to tie the game at 27-all and scored again on Bowie State’s next possession to give lead back to the Lady Bulldogs at 29-27.

Senior Alessandra Flores Conway (Hagerstown, Md.) scored her fist points of the game on a fast break layup 31-30, but Zephran Pam (Syracuse, N.Y.) shifted the advantage back over Lincoln following a pair of free throws.

Lincoln (10-7, 3-4 CIAA / 1-0 North) used a 9-0 run to open up a 39-31 lead before BSU graduate student Uchechi Ahaiwe (Riverdale, Md.) stopped the run with a free throw with just over 10 minutes remaining in the game.

The Lady Lions defense held Bowie State without a field goal for almost 10 minutes until a Naylor jumper in the paint halted the Lady Bulldogs field goal drought. Unfortunately, Bowie State would get no closer than eight points twice in the final period of play.

Naylor and Castle lead Bowie State in scoring with 13 and 11 points respectively. Naylor tied for game-high rebound honors with seven and Ahaiwe grabbed five.

De’Jah Taylor (Nanuet, N.Y.) paced the Lady Lions with 11 points and Johnson added 10 points. Zephrah Pam just missed a double-double, contributing nine points and eight rebounds.

Lincoln held advantages on the glass (45-34), points in the paint (22-20), points off turnovers (19-14) and bench points (25-6).

Ergogenic Effects Of Creatine

By ELSEVIER, PARIS

Objectives. - In the last few years many athletes and persons engaged in recreational sports activities have begun using creatine supplementation. Creatine feeding is possible by oral administration of creatine monohydrate. The objectives of this paper are to recall the mechanisms by which creatine might improve performance, to discuss the known effects of creatine supplementation on exercise performance, and to examine its side effects.

Topics. - The rate of turnover of creatine for a 70 kg male has been estimated around 2 g/d. Creatine is partly supplied by the diet that provides I g/d through meat and fish. Recent studies have shown that ingestion of about 20 g of creatine monohydrate per day is able to modulate total muscle creatine, free creatine and phosphocreatine. The aim of this article is to provide an overview of recent knowledge on the effects of creatine supplementation on exercise performance. Many studies demonstrate that creatine supplementation has beneficial effects on performance of short-duration exercises, during repeated isokinetic or isometric contractions of the quadriceps muscle, jumping or high-intensity cycling exercises. The beneficial effects of creatine supplementation on performance capacity are strongly related to the efficacy of the treatment for enhancing muscle creatine pool. If is thus clear that phosphocreatine stores play a key role for ATP resynthesis during muscle contraction and recovery. The improvement in performance following creatine supplementation is dependent on the characteristics of the exercise. It has been suggested that human skeletal muscles have an upper limit for total creatine concentration. In contrast with sedentary subjects, in athletes and well-trained subjects who have high initial total creatine concentrations in skeletal muscle, only a slight improvement in exercise performances is expected. Taken together, the results of most studies published to date suggest that only performances of repetitive high-intensity exercise bouts are positively affected by creatine supplementation. During this type of exercise, the expected increase in total creatine contributes to the fast resynthesis of phosphocreatine during recovery. Until recently, it was well accepted that except for a slight increase in body weight, no adverse effects have been associated with creatine supplementation. However, a recent report described a clinical case of renal dysfunction that was associated with oral creatine supplementation.

Yummy, gluten free snack recipe (how-to video)

These Real Healthy Granola Bars are my favorite snack food recipe!

It can be difficult to find a truly healthy, gluten-free snack to take on-the-go. Most of the 'healthy' gluten-free snacks you find at the store are filled with refined cane sugar - which sets you up for a big sugar spike and then that dreaded energy crash.

That's why I created a wholesome, at-home recipe for baking cane-sugar free granola bars that are packed with nutritious ingredients. 

The grain-free ingredients in my Real Healthy Granola Bar Recipe are:

1)    Almond Butter - this nutritious, creamy ingredient helps to stick the bar together and adds flavor and tenderness to the texture.

2)    Unsweetened Coconut Flakes - whenever you purchase coconut flakes be sure to get the unsweetened ones. Coconut flakes have their own natural sweetness and really don't need added sugar.

3)    Pumpkin Seeds - these tasty and nutritious seeds add texture and antioxidants to the mix.

4)    Sliced Almonds - I really like the addition of sliced almonds because it mimics the size and texture of the oats in traditional granola bars. While oats are often thought of as a health food, this refined grain is filled with 48 carbohydrates per raw cup compared to 20 carbohydrates per cup of sliced almonds.

5)    Roasted Sun Flower Seeds - these crunchy, tasty seeds are filled with vitamin E, which protects your body against free radicals.

6)    Mini Soy-Free, Diary-Free Chocolate Chips - the addition of tiny dots of chocolate really brings up the yumminess-factor of these granola bars! If you prefer a more bitter-sweet flavor, then feel free to chop dark chocolate (73% cocoa content) and use that in place of the chocolate chips.

I've posted a video for you, showing exactly how to make these tasty granola bars, along with the typed instructions for the recipe.

The Greatest Cancer Prevention Formula?

A Great Cancer-Prevention Formula

You’ve heard me talk quite a bit about the importance of using a wide variety of foods and supplements to help you prevent cancer – because even though there are dozens of proven approaches for battling cancer and optimizing health, there’s no single magic bullet.

But at least, now, I’m glad to see the next best thing. Keep reading and I’ll tell you about it. . .

Continued below…

Oliver was doomed to die from cancer within 8 hours -- But then he found out what to do. . .     Oliver had reached the end of the road in his seven-year fight against cancer. His doctors didn’t think this 32-year-old man would live through the night. But when I talked to Oliver six years later, he was the picture of health! He got rid of his cancer completely. Yes, Oliver found the answer — his own cancer miracle. I sat down with him and his doctor and they told me an incredible story. . . a story that could help save you or someone you love from this dreaded disease. If you’d like to hear it, click here now.

This recently introduced supplement is all natural, based on academic research, and available without a prescription. It’s called NEGDA^TM, and appears to be effective in preventing most of the common cancers—breast, pancreatic, prostate, and colorectal included.

The makers, of course, would never call it a cancer-prevention formula. The regulatory authorities won’t permit them to do that. But as a mere journalist protected by the First Amendment (for as long as it lasts. . .) I can speak the plain truth.

A blend of some of the
most reliable cancer-fighting elements

Each of the ingredients that make up the NEGDA supplement is backed by research that shows it has merit in cancer prevention. Most appealing to me is the 100 percent natural turmeric extract.

I’ve mentioned turmeric’s benefits before, along with curcumin, an extract from the turmeric root (curcumin is not related to cumin, by the way—that’s a spice made from the seeds of a different plant). Turmeric and curcumin extract both have anti-inflammatory properties and potent antioxidant properties. Curcumin in particular can reduce pain and cellular deterioration.

Overall, turmeric is a terrific anti-inflammatory herb that’s an excellent replacement for NSAIDs. I take the extract, curcumin, every day, and I’m convinced it’s the reason I’ve been able to decrease my use of ibuprofen when the rare sinus headache hits. The only side effect I know of is that it may stimulate bowel movements in some people.

The company behind the NEGDA supplement has a patent pending for its enhanced bioavailable form of turmeric, called BCM-95®. In fact, it’s said to be seven to eight times more bioavailable than existing turmeric extracts, and its efficacy has been confirmed by human clinical trials.

Another NEGDA ingredient is ginger, in the form of a blend between ginger root and ginger extract. Along with being a well-known alternative way to soothe nausea, ginger has quite a few phenolic compounds which display anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity.

Green tea extract is also part of the NEGDA blend, which you may well know has terrific antioxidant properties. We just wrote about green tea a week ago in Issue #359.

Green tea also has polyphenols that are known to inhibit the growth and metastasis of cancer. These polyphenols scavenge the body for free radicals and act as antioxidants. Plus, it’s believed they react with enzymes responsible for cellular replication and tumor angiogenesis.

Most scientists believe the benefits of green tea come from something called epigallocatechin-3-gallate, or EGCG, an antioxidant with a documented ability to enhance the body’s metabolism. The green tea extract used in NEGDA is made up of more than 45 percent EGCG.

I frequently start the morning with a cup of green tea, but the truth is you need a lot of cups of tea to achieve a clinical dose of EGCG – as many as five to ten! That’s why a supplement such as NEGDA is a much more convenient way to take green tea.

A final ingredient in the basic NEGDA blend is Vitamin D3, which is something I strongly believe few of us ever get enough of. This particular vitamin plays a crucial role in helping your body absorb both calcium and phosphorous, which translates to strong bones and teeth.

Vitamin D3 also supports immune, breast, colon, and pancreatic health. A NEGDA capsule contains 1800 iu of vitamin D3. This may sound like a large dose to people who haven’t caught up with the revolutionary discoveries about D3, but in fact it’s quite modest. I take more than 4,000 iu daily, as directed by my doctor. 1800 iu should be quite safe.

One other note on the ingredients—there’s a men’s and a women’s formula. The difference is that the men’s formula has 25 percent more green tea extract as well as some pomegranate extract. Pomegranate extract -- known to fight free radicals and oxidation – in addition contains 40 percent ellagic acid (a natural phenol antioxidant). But most importantly for men, pomegranate extract is known to support prostate health. I take a big dose of pomegranate extract every day.

The group behind it all

NEGDA boasts other features you may find attractive. It’s vegetarian, and all the ingredients are regarded as safe under FDA guidelines, though the product itself has not been evaluated by the FDA. The NEGDA website also states that the product is manufactured in the U.S., which lends some credence to the quality of the ingredients. There are doubts about the quality of some China-sourced supplements.

A long list of qualified scientific advisors stands behind NEGDA. Each one carries either a PhD or MD, or both, and they hail from a mix of cancer research centers including M.D. Anderson in Houston, the Cancer Institute at Emory University, and various international universities.

The biggest draw:
Convenience in a supplement

The biggest advantage as I see it is that all the individual ingredients in NEGDA are known to play important roles in cancer prevention, so it’s convenient to have them all in one formula. At the least, it’ll save you hassle since you won’t need to buy each ingredient separately. At the most, it’ll act as a superior prevention formula that helps you stay healthy.

Is NEGDA all you need to prevent cancer? Of course not. There are dozens of different foods and supplements that can help – and some, such as sugar or foods containing MSG, that can slash your cancer risk provided you never go near them. But NEGDA is a nice mix of some of the best anti-cancer remedies, in one pill, and for a price that seems reasonable to me.

Fayetteville State Rallies to Edge Bowie State Lady Bulldogs71-67 in Overtime

Fayetteville State Rallies to Edge Bowie State Lady Bulldogs71-67 in Overtime


BOWIE, Md. - Bowie State surrendered a 17 point halftime lead and turned the ball over at critical times as Fayetteville State rallies to defeat the Lady Bulldogs 71-67 in overtime. The loss was the fifth straight for the home team as the Lady Bulldogs season mark drops to 1-5 in the CIAA (6-8 overall).

“You can’t win a ball game with 28 turnovers with several of those coming with the less than four minutes to go in the game”, said a dejected Lady Bulldogs head coach Renard Smith. “On top of that, we get two (free throw) chances to get one and blow that opportunity!”

Junior Donia Naylor (Washington, D.C.) scored a team and person season-high 18 points on 7-of-12 shooting to lead Bowie State. Graduate student Ashley Davis (Odenton, Md.) and junior Ashley Castle (Brooklyn, N.Y.) added 12 and 10 points respectively in the loss. Graduate student Uchechi Ahaiwe (Riverdale, Md.) grabbed a game and BSU personal best 14 rebounds to go along with nine points and four blocks, which tied her season-high.

The game was tight the first five minutes until Bowie State’s Davis and Castle scored back-to-back layups to give the Lady Bulldogs a small edge at 10-7 at the 14:03 mark. Bowie State lead grew to 21-9 by the midway mark and ballooned to 39-22 by halftime.

As exciting as the last few minutes were, the Lady Broncos wouldn’t have been able to put together meaningful buckets down the stretch if it wasn’t for a sprint out of the gate in the second half’s first three minutes.

After scoring just 22 points in the game’s first 20 minutes, FSU scored 10 in the first 2:23 of the second half to cut the deficit to 11. Bowie State still had a semi-comfortable nine point lead with 8:44 to play, but FSU scored seven straight points to cut it to 47-45 at the 6:48 mark.

Bowie State stretched the lead back out to six and FSU clawed back once again, but the Lady Broncos trailed until Je’lena Robertson’s (Houston, Texas) layup finally tied things up.

With the game tied at 60-all, Bowie State senior Moriah Goodman (Baltimore, Md.) was fouled with 1.8 seconds left in regulation and stepped to the free throw line with a chance to win the game. However, both free were missed sending the game into overtime.

The Lady Broncos scored the first two points of the overtime session on a Deja Middleton (Richmond, Va.) layup. But Bowie State scored the next five points (all by Naylor) and FSU had one last rally left in them.

Fayetteville State (11-4 / 4-2 CIAA) scored nine points in a row on jumpers by Middleton and Bria Robinson (Charlotte, N.C.), a Robinson free throw and four Emerald Calvin (Durham, N.C.) free throws to close the game out.

The Lady Broncos outscored Bowie State 18-2 off of turnovers in the second half after being outscored 18-8 in the first frame. Bowie State actually out-rebounded Fayetteville State 43-42, but FSU’s Middleton and Bria Robinson (Charlotte, N.C.) combined for 20 boards.

Calvin led both teams in scoring with a game-high 19 points, which included 13-of-14 free throws. Middleton recorded a double-double of 15 points and 13 rebounds, while Robertson and Akysia Resper (Concord, N.C.) added 13 and 10 points respectively.

The Lady Bulldogs begin (CIAA) divisional games this coming Saturday (January 18) as Bowie State travels to The Lincoln University for a key 2 pmclash.
