Welcoming You to the EK Lifestyle

Welcome to One Bite at a Time!

"My hope in in my books and writings is to bring to your family as much knowledge as I can in an easy understandable way. A way that will help you to realize that yes, health and nutrition take time, effort, focus and money, but it’s really not as hard as you might think. You do not have to be a doctor or medical guru of any kind to get your family, your precious children on the right path to a healthy future. There will be ruts in the road ahead, there will some turns and hills, but if you are willing to push on and to keep gassing up your family nutritional car, you will raise healthy, vibrant, smart choice making adults. The future of our world! From one mom to the world of parents out there, I pray that my books are an insightful pathway to the future you long for."

All the EK Lifestyle calls for is a yearning to grow in awareness and understanding and an open mind to these truths that will be shared here in this blog, in my articles and books.

More on Excitotoxins

Yesterday, I was sent an informative email regarding this very topic and I would like to share a piece of it with you.

"...you will discover, within 6 months after Aspartame came out on the market in 1984 there was a 10 % increase of brain tumors and 30% increase in diabetes. Medical research showed the increase in brain tumors was not related to better detection methods and there was a definite increase in sheer numbers of new patients. This has been the case ever since Aspartame came out on the market in 1983. Aspartame mainly is toxic to nerve cells and has the potential to cause fibromyalgia, MS, lupus, ADD, diabetes, Alzheimer's, chronic fatigue, and depression., retardation, seizures and MS. Aspartic acid (an ingredient of Aspartame) also causes holes in the brain in mice as does MSG. It also effects neurotransmitter resulting in mental disorders as well. Aspartame are listed as a cytotoxin and has a direct effect on brain function. Unfortunately the FDA has taken a position of rubber stamping this product as safe, no matter what evidence is presented as to the danger of this product. Consumer education is the only way to stop the production of this toxic substance. Write your congressperson and ask them to start an investigation into the poisoning of the American people with Aspartame."

March News 2008 and Apartame's Not So Sweet News

It is March and the storm clouds blow through the heaven's with moments between of golden rays shining down on our earth.

March find's my family preparing to move from our Emerald City of Seattle to the Lone Star state. We will be making our journey across the lands of the western United States toward the end of this month. However, first we have been blessed with the opportunity to have a short holiday in Maui. All are looking forward to the warm waters and sun filled skies. Sitting on the beach and soaking in the beauty of paradise!

Aspertame's Not So Sweet News
It is time to wake up about this toxin!
Aspertame (Equal, nutrasweet, etc.) the sweetener that so many of us choose to use for dieting purposes or because we are diabetic. If it is not this "fake" sugar, we then choose sucralose (splenda). I was made aware of the dangerous effects of this cytotoxin back in 1996, when I was an avid diet soda drinker myself. We had recenly moved to Seattle with our first born who was not two years of age yet. I had been experiencing severe headaches and dizziness, but never linked these symptoms to my beloved diet soda. One evening while listening to a news report, I overheard that the University of Washington had linked aspertame to brain lesions and possibly tumors and cancer. That's all it took for me! I was done with the diet soda.
