“It comes down to consumers making a choice as to whether they wish to actively be part of a 50-year food experiment, or whether they value their health and safety sufficiently to invest in foods which are becoming confirmed as better for them. Certified organic produce gives them that choice,” A new US study has […]
Slamming the heart foundations tick of approval!
David Gillispe in this wonderful article has slammed the Heart Foundations tick of approval and rightly so. While Ian concentrates on the sugar I’d like to point out that most foods given the HF tick of approval aren’t even real. So many additives to irritate and inflame the body and make you sick. The […]
Nutrition Panels are a waste of time.
I’ve always said that nutrition panel on a food product is a waste of time, but not because they are complicated but rather that they don’t tell you if the food is real. Read your ingredients and find out if the food is REAL not a bunch of chemicals. Nutrition labels on food packets are […]

The benefits of drinking wine in moderation are well known, from lowering the risk of heart disease to preventing cancer, but did you know it’s the way the wine is produced that makes all the difference to our health?

Don’t Just Read Food Ingredients, Start Reading Your Medication Ingredients
Don’t just read food ingredients, start reading your medication ingredients for additives, preservatives, colours, flavourings and artificial sweeteners. Only 50% of the Australian population read food labels, that’s not good. But what is scary is that we don’t even know what the statistics are for people who read medication ingredient labels. I asked around and […]

Drugs, drugs and more drugs!
Are we, or rather, are YOU, a pill popper? Over the Easter break there were several news stories about the fact that we are a nation of pill poppers. The Weekend Australian magazine front story was on the deception of medication. So I thought this month it would be good to talk about one type […]
