New Negative Health Consequences of Diet Soda

Dr. Aaron Tabor — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 09:00:56 +0000

Americans drink lots of diet soda and Americans are facing an unprecedented obesity epidemic. This has caused all sorts of medical experts and even Oprah to investigate whether diet soft drinks can make you gain weight. It seems paradoxical that a product with no calories could result in gaining weight. In fact, most of us don’t believe this to be the case. But the untold secret of diet beverages is this: weight gain is complicated. It’s not strictly a matter of what you ingest, it’s...

I am a physician by profession and most physicians are very comfortable with things that come in pill form. However, when it comes to vitamins, you are much better off to get your vitamins from the natural source than in pill form. This is not to say there is no place for vitamin pills and other supplements—there is. But if you can find natural foods that are vitamin powerhouses, you should incorporate them into your diet right away because they are by far the optimal source of vitamins for...

Ten Remarkable Lemon Benefits

Dr. Aaron Tabor — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 12:00:44 +0000

One lemon provides you with 64% of your recommended daily allowance of Vitamin C. A little lemon juice sprinkled on freshly cut apples, bananas, or avocados will keep them from turning brown. Lemon juice is so acidic it actually kills germs. Lemon’s strong aroma is a natural deodorizer, particularly when used as a cleaner. Toss some used lemons in the garbage disposal periodically to freshen it. Gently heat some sliced lemons in a pot on the stove to get rid of cooking odors. Lemon...

Old-fashioned apple cider vinegar may not seem like an amazing product, but it can be used in lots of ways that could surprise you. Unlike lots of modern foods, apple cider vinegar is a simple, natural product that has been around for a long time.

Is Your Morning Shower Making You Sick?

Dr. Aaron Tabor — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 13:00:03 +0000

Chlorine is widely used to disinfect water. You find it not just in swimming pool water, but also in the water that comes from your tap. Since chlorine evaporates out of water at relatively low temperatures, a steamy morning shower can expose you to up to 100 times the amount of chlorine than is contained in the water itself. This means that when you take a nice hot morning shower, you are exposed to chlorine on your skin and in your lungs. In fact, you get more chlorine in your body from one...

The Dark History of Aspartame You Have Never Read

Dr. Aaron Tabor — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 12:35:27 +0000

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener that is used in many products. Many people like it, but I do not recommend it. For one thing, many people feel much healthier and stronger when they stop using it. Second, it seems pretty clear to me that aspartame-sweetened foods do not promote weight loss. But just how was this very popular product invented? Actually, invented is probably the wrong word. Aspartame was “discovered.” It happened back in 1965 when a chemist working for a drug company...

Ten Places Aspartame is Hidden From You

Dr. Aaron Tabor — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 06:18:02 +0000

Aspartame is that ubiquitous chemical artificial sweetener. I don’t recommend it, although I know many people use it and the stories about its dangers may be exaggerated. However, some people do have adverse reactions to aspartame including headache, dizziness, seizures, joint pain, and fatigue. If you’re thinking of going on an “aspartame fast” to see if getting the stuff out of your system might improve your overall health—a good idea, by the way—you need to keep an eagle eye for...

Ten Deadly Secrets of Your Cosmetics

Dr. Aaron Tabor — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 13:13:13 +0000

Cosmetics and personal care products are made from numerous chemicals and there is growing but not totally convincing evidence that some of these ingredients are dangerous. Today, I’m going to offer my “be on the lookout for” warning about the top 10 substances you should try and avoid. In the interest of fairness, these substances are legal and regulators in charge of such things do not consider them dangerous at least when used in cosmetics. However, there are some compelling reasons...
