You Have to Eat Food Food Also

While talking to my friend, Julie, today, she said that she had been so busy that she hadn’t eaten yet.  It was 2:30, well 1:30 her time, but still….   I reminded her that as great as PXP is, you still have to eat the less pure foods.  We laughed, but she still had to go eat.

I have done a lot of research on foods that help prevent cancer.  Some of them were what I expected, but I had a surprise when I learned that pumpkin was one of the top seven.  Squash will do in a pinch, but pumpkin is the prime.

Pumpkin is high in carotennoids and lowers the rates of gastric, breast, lung and colorectal cancers.

Those are some pretty nasty and much too common cancers. I tend to be a purist, so I want to eat pumpkin and I love pumpkin pies, but well not a good idea for lots of reasons.  But I did find a place that sells pumpkin seeds, raw with no oil or salt.  They actually make a nice snack by themselves, however I put them in my yogurt.  I have been pleased to see 3 brands of Greek yogurt in the stores recently, and boy that is the best.  I put in  some blueberries and/or raspberries (also great for cancer) and a handful of pumpkin seeds.  Its delicious and fights cancer.

But don’t forget your PXP.  When Julie’s husband had prostate cancer she put him on 8 servings of PXP a day.  He took cancer treatment also, but the doctors were amazed at how well he did.

Corn Syrup: Even More Adulterated Than Cane Sugar

There are TV ads out now about corn syrup, you’ve seen them, one friend offers another a drink, it gets turned down because of all the other has heard about corn syrup.  The first says, “What have you heard?  That is has the same calories and nutrition as sugar?”  its a well done ad, it just isn’t true.  Corn syrup is married to fat and while it may technically have the same calories as sugar, it is far more fattening.  It is more addictive and well, it is worse for you than sugar.

Stay away from it.  Easier said than done since it is in almost all processed foods.  Read labels.
