A Note About Sugar from Nourishing Traditions cookbook
This excerpt from the Nourishing Traditions cookbook illustrates the damaging effects of "junk" food (thanks D.R. for reminding us of it).
"I found Junkie dead this morning. She was cold and still and dark red-brown blood showed on her nose and paws.
What had I done? I killed her. For fourteen weeks I fed her "junk" food. She ate white flour products of white bread, saltines, doughnuts, sweet rolls, dinner rolls and cookies. Highly sweetened foods were candies, gum drops, malted milk balls, candy corn, marshmallows, sugar frosted cereals, chocolates and jelly on her bread.
Her death abruptly ended my experiment raising two young white rats. Junkie's food contrasted with Goodie's which were nutritious whole foods. She drank milk, had hard boiled eggs, shells and all, whole wheat bread, butter and peanut butter, oats, popcorn, dry beans and seeds, meat, fish, chicken, liver and a fresh dark green cabbage leaf or a piece of fruit.
I wanted to demonstrate the effects of these two diets so I could show off my rats at fairs, in nutrition classes and at day care centers, for both children and parents. The two rats showed a startling difference.
They began when about a month old, weighing almost the same at 128 and 129 grams...I kept them in separate cages and fed them enough of their different diets so they always had more food than they could eat.
Goodie drank milk, but Junkie refused uncarbonated soft drinks so I stopped offering them...when both were about the ages of an eight year old child, Goodie weighed 469.1 grams and Junkie weighed 168.7 grams.
This contrast in weight showed. When I picked up Goodie she felt firm and solid, but Junkie was light and frail. Goodie's fur was full and thick, but Junkie's fur was so thin her skin showed through...There were contrasts in endurance. I noticed this when I took both out of their cages to let visitors examine them closely. This extra handling had no effect on Goodie, but Junkie tired quickly and curled up for sleep at every chance while Goodie was up and peering out at the excitement.
I had little warning that the end was near for Junkie. She was vigorous, though small and undersized, until the day before yesterday when I saw her lose her balance briefly...when she tried to walk she kept falling over...I endeavored to revive her with a little milk, whole wheat bread, peanut butter and a green cabbage leaf...She nibbled on the leaf but I was too late.
It was sobering to wheel a shopping cart later today in the supermarket past shelf after shelf of candies and sweet rolls from which I had selected Junkie's foods. If mothers and teachers could see my little Junkie cold and dead on these foods, they would think twice about letting their children have them, certainly not as a day to day diet.
It could be misleading to look at an undersized active child and think he's doing well. You often hear, "He's the wiry type." Beware. Junkie was active and outwardly healthy up to the day before she collapsed."

Meridian Heart Health Assessment
The introductory price of $30 on the Meridian Test will expire soon. Make your appointment for this valuable screening test before June 5, 2009. Beginning on Monday, June 8 we will be offering the Meridian Test for $40.
The Meridian machine measures SEVEN conditions of your heart and arteries! This includes the circulation capabilities of your arteries, hardening and plaquing of the arteries, pumping capability of the largest chamber of the heart, true arterial age and abnormal heart rhythm. It only takes a few minutes, is non-invasive and until June 8, it's only $30. We are not aware of this test being used in American hospitals. It is FDA approved!
We'll give you the results and provide specific nutrition to improve the health of your heart and arteries. We will re-test in one month intervals to see changes. We've not seen a simpler, cheaper and more effective way to get these factors assessed. Take the results to your medical doctor for further testing and drug treatment of heart and artery disease or symptoms.
This is only available to patients. If you haven't been in for awhile, you will need to have a "reactivation" appointment to start on a program again. If you know someone who would benefit from this, they need to become a new patient first. Please use the coupon below!
Call the office at 734-302-7575 to set up a time to get tested. If you have any high blood pressure, cholesterol problems, arterial blockages, skipped beats or if you have ever been treated for a heart or artery condition, then contact us to get assessed. Email back or call us if you have specific questions.

Pass It On
 "My biggest health concern when I first came to the NHCAA was that I was always soooo tired. I never had any energy to do anything. I was too tired to exercise which caused my second biggest complaint my weight. And, I was too tired to clean my house and do all the things that I wanted to do with my kids and so on which caused my third major complaint depression. I had some other smaller issues too; but, those were the main bothersome ones.
Now I am feeling much better! I would say that my energy has improved by about 90%. And, I only say 90% because I hope to always be improving upon my health. So, I hope to never reach 100%. There is always room for improvement. I've changed my diet and I'm taking the supplements that Dr. Shannon recommends. Now, I have signed up at a gym. I have completely cleaned my house and even painted three rooms. As for my kids, I now have energy to do more with them. Although, I don't think I will ever have enough time in the day to do all that I want to do with them. Unless...Dr. Shannon you've worked a miracle on me. Maybe you could add a few more hours to the day! So far I've only lost two pounds; but, it's a start and exercising and not having things to do hanging over my head has definitely increased my mood. It also must work through osmosis because my husband is happier now, too! I'm so glad I found out about this place! Thank you Dr. Shannon!
