free coffee substitutes. “Quitting coffee has never been this easy (or tasty) until now for

celiacs,” says Marina Kushner, founder & CEO of Soy Coffee, LLC.

In a world of coffee substitutes, Soyfee is made from pure non-gmo organic soybeans. “We don’t use grains like barley, a gluten, commonly found in traditional substitutes,” says Marina Kushner. “Nor do we use added sweeteners”

People with celiac disease are unable to metabolize gluten. When digested, celiac sufferers have a reaction that destroys the villi on the small intestines, which is responsible for moving the nutrients out of the small intestines and into the bloodstream. This leaves the body unable to absorb many nutrients including water. There is no known cure and sufferers must remove all sources of gluten from their diet. The most common sources of gluten include barley, wheat, oats and rye. Unfortunately, gluten is also in common fillers and sweeteners.

According to the American Medical Association, about one in 300 Americans suffers from celiac disease. Often this disease goes undetected until symptomsdevelop: including diarrhea,constipation, gas,excessive weight loss, and abnormal nutrient

deficiencies. If allowed to progress, they may develop diseases such as osteoporosis, lymphoma, and colon

cancer.

Sadly, the disease is hard to detect because everyone has different symptoms. To be accurately diagnosed,you must continue to consume the gluten. Blood tests are then administered to screen for antibodies to gluten. Because Soy Coffee LLC is dedicated to their customers with the disease, the latest updates,accurate information, and links to labs and other

resources are available at http://www.soycoffee.com.

Smooth and vitamin rich, Soyfee taste just like

traditional coffee while offering important nutrients(such as isoflavones) that coffee does not provide. Like coffee, Soyfee is best brewed. Unlike coffee,Soyfee is free of caffeine and stomach churning acids.The soybeans are certified kosher & certified organic.Soyfee is available in seven varieties: originalroast, dark roast, hazelnut, french vanilla, mocha,almond amaretto and house blend. The flavors are all natural and contain no propylene glycol.

Non-prescription Soy Protein Used in Medical Trial. New Study Shows Revival Soy Protein Improves Breast Health.

KERNERSVILLE, NC -– August 28, 2003 -— A new study published in September’s Integrative Cancer Therapies, an independent peer-reviewed journal, shows that women who consumed Revival Soy experienced a reduction of inflamed breast tissue and breast tenderness1. The study used B.E.S.T (Breast Enhanced Scintigraphy Testing), a sophisticated new breast-imaging test that is able to distinguish between normal breast tissue, inflammation of the breast and breast cancer by quantifying the results of the breast images. Detection of breast inflammation is important because it’s a condition that may be a precursor for breast cancer.

Recently treated breast cancer survivors or other patients with breast inflammation drank one Revival Soy shake daily. Dr. Richard Fleming, an independent researcher and author of the study says, “In case after case, we’ve seen a reduction in breast inflammation in patients drinking Revival Soy protein. Revival is unique because one daily serving is equal to the daily Asian diet, and this is what is likely producing such improvements in these patients.” One Revival Soy drink mix contains 160 milligrams of soy isoflavones and 20 grams of soy protein.

Dr. Fleming’s study is the first using Revival Soy brand soy protein to be completed and published. More studies currently underway or starting are examining Revival Soy’s role in menopausal symptoms, weight loss, diabetes, memory/cognition, cholesterol/lipids/sub-lipids, bone health, prostate health/PSA levels, kidney health and immune function. Researchers from major medical centers are conducting these trials.

Revival Soy was developed by Dr. Aaron Tabor and maintains strict purity guidelines. Revival Soy is not sold in stores and sells its products directly to consumers through its website (revivalsoy.com) and by telephone (1-800-REVIVAL). Revival Soy drink mixes are kosher and do not contain dairy (lactose-free), peanuts, gluten, wheat, yeast, egg or animal products.

Finding a Diet Plan That Works for You

Posted on by

(PRWEB) February 23, 2005

There are many reasons for people to be following a diet. Perhaps it is a special, doctor-advised regimen meant to control or prevent certain illnesses such as high blood pressure or diabetes. Maybe a diet is required due to particular food allergies like a gluten-free diet or for people who are lactose intolerant. The option of a diet such as vegetarian or macrobiotic might simply be a personal lifestyle choice. However, most people who are dieting are doing so because they are overweight.

For access to an easy-to-use, reliable and current directory of diet resources, diet articles and dietary options please visit http://www.dietdoor.com

According to the National Institutes of Health, in 1999, almost 108 million adults in the United States were overweight or obese. Being obese or overweight substantially increases the risk of morbidity from hypertension; type 2 diabetes; coronary heart disease; stroke; gallbladder disease; osteoarthritis; sleep apnea; and breast, prostate and colon cancers.

There are lots or reasons to lose weight. To be healthier. To feel better. To look better. To have more energy. No matter what the reason, successful weight loss and healthy weight management depend on sensible goals and expectations. In fact, losing even five to 10 percent of your present weight is the kind of goal that can help improve your health.

What you weigh is the result of several factors: how much and what kind of food you eat; whether your lifestyle includes regular physical activity; whether you use food to respond to stress or loneliness; your psychological and genetic make-up; your age and health status.

Successful weight loss and weight management programs should address all of these factors. That’s the reason to ignore products or plans that promise quick and easy, permanent results without permanent changes in your lifestyle. When it comes to evaluating claims for weight loss products, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recommends a healthy portion of skepticism. Before you spend money on programs or products that promise fast and easy results, weigh the claims carefully. They probably will not work, and the use of some products may not be safe.

Doctors, dieticians, and other health experts agree that the best way to lose weight is to eat fewer calories and increase physical activity so you burn more energy. A reasonable goal is to lose about a pound a week. For most people that means cutting about 500 calories a day and exercising regularly.

If you are looking for a sensible diet plan that will help you lose weight safely, a program to help maintain your current weight, dietary guidelines to help with chronic illnesses, or are simply curious about the hundreds of fad diets currently being discussed, please visit http://www.dietdoor.com

Twelve Reasons to Avoid the South Beach Diet

Posted on by
Reply


(PRWEB) November 22, 2005

The South Beach Diet may be ?The Diet Everyone?s Talking About? as proclaimed on the book?s jacket. However, despite the diet’s popularity, there are at least a dozen reasons to re-think using it as your best option for successful (and healthy) long-term weight loss.

So says Dr. Mercola, founder of the world’s most visted natural health website Mercola.com. He believes that The South Beach Diet’s popularity has more to do with its million-dollar-a-month marketing budget than its flawed prescription for weight loss.

So why does The South Beach Diet head the wrong direction if you want a healthy solution to permanent weight loss?

Reason #1: Although The South Beach Diet discusses the concept of good vs. bad carbs, Agatston mistakenly promotes whole grain breads and fruits as good carbs. Dr. Mercola believes this could be a prescription for disaster for South Beach dieters unknowingly affected by subclinical gluten sensitivity or for those who are highly sensitive to carbohydrates and struggle to control their insulin. Dr. Mercola recommends that you avoid all grains and sugars until insulin levels are normalized.

Reason #2: Dr. Agatston promotes eating fish, despite the fact that today, nearly all fish from every type of water source are dangerously contaminated with the pollutants mercury and PCBs. Mercury is associated with nerve and brain tissue damage and birth defects. PCBs are linked to cancer and impaired fetal brain development. According to Dr. Mercola, ?Either Agatston is not aware of this important issue or decided not to cover it; no mention is made that, to safely avoid the mercury and PCB issue in fish, while still getting proper omega-3 intake, substituting clean sources of bottled or capsule fish oil is by far the wisest option.?

Reason #3: In The South Beach Diet, Agatston encourages the use of artificial sweeteners such as aspartame (NutraSweet), despite the fact that many studies have linked them to a wide variety of diseases, including cancer, diabetes and various emotional disorders. Dr. Mercola recommends that you avoid artificial sweeteners completely.

Reason #4: Dr. Mercola believes that Dr. Agatston?s most significant oversight may be his lack of understanding of trans fats. These artery-clogging fats, found in margarine, shortening and many foods such as french fries and doughnuts, increase your risk of heart disease and diabetes. Early in The South Beach Diet, Agatston states that trans fats are dangerous; yet, on page 54, he claims that french fries and potato chips are healthier choices than baked potatoes ? . . . because of the fat in which they?re cooked.? Dr. Mercola believes that french fries and potato chips are among the unhealthiest foods you could eat due to their extremely high levels of trans fats.

Reason #5: Dr. Agatston appears unaware of the power of an optimized diet to normalize cholesterol, and apparently takes a statin drug to lower his own cholesterol, despite the dangers associated with statins. Dr. Mercola states: ?It is quite possible to avoid taking statin drugs and supplements to normalize your cholesterol levels, and my patients have experienced amazing success by following my own Total Health Program. I encourage Dr. Agatston to give my program a try as well, so he can get off the statin drugs and avoid their risks.?

Reasons 7- 12: To access the entire 12 Reasons you can go to the original South Beach article.

Along with all the bio-nutritional reasons to avoid The South Beach Diet, Dr. Mercola points out that any effective long-term solution to weight loss must also address your emotional challenges, including cravings, food addictions, self-image issues and other self-sabotaging behavior. These issues are not addressed in Agatston?s book.

Dr. Mercola also has a free online test that will help you determine which foods you are genetically designed to eat. The test link is on the top left of the page at http://www.mercola.com.
