Bad Farts? Meat Stinks! |
This article continues a series exploring the health of your
intestinal tract. Consider the strongest contact with the world
around you is through your food, processed and absorbed by your
intestine.

By about
the fourth day of each McDougall Live-in Program participants have
become close friends. As they loosen up with each other they
begin to discuss one noticeable side effect of my diet. They make
jokes, like, "When we walk, we talk," or "Have you heard a good
McBugle lately?" I must admit that one unavoidable change that
comes with the diet I recommend is the production of more bowel
gas – but that’s not all bad as you will learn when you read this
article. |

Phytochemicals and Phytoestrogens |
| |
 |
“Phyto” means plant, so obviously
phytochemicals means chemicals derived from a plant(s).
There are thousands of these chemicals and the real importance of
only a few has been discovered. The most talked about class of
phytochemicals is called phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens
are a diverse group of plant compounds that behave as estrogens
and occur naturally in fruits and vegetables. Their structural
similarity to estrogens is probably the basis for their hormonal
activity – they can bind at estrogen receptor sites inside the
cells, causing estrogen-like effects. Phytoestrogens have both a
weak estrogenic and paradoxically, an anti-estrogenic activity.
This anti-estrogen activity results from competing for the
positions at the estrogen receptor sites with the more powerful
estrogens made by a woman’s own body – with the phytoestrogen
attached to the site the more powerful estrogens are kept away. |

Take Blood
Pressure at Home – Get Off Your Medications |
|
According to the authors of an
August 3, 2002 article in the
British Medical Journal, “It is time to stop using high blood
pressure readings documented by general practitioners to
make treatment decisions.”
Overzealous diagnosis and treatment of hypertension result when
readings obtained at the doctor’s office are used to make
decisions, because of the “white coat effect.” |

Change
History & Save Lives: Write to the American Heart Association |
|
|
|
Would you like to help me change
history and save lives, and prove how powerful concerned people
can be through the Internet?
The Nutrition Committee of the
American Heart Association (AHA) and the journal of the American
Heart Association, Circulation, have so far failed to take
action to correct an error in basic science. Your letters to
those responsible will make a difference. |
