Cod Liver Oil – Brands Containing Soy
Last week I posted my brand comparison of cod liver oil (CLO). In this comparison I listed three dozen types of liquid and softgel cod liver oils, and compared the cost per serving of each of them. I compared the cost of CLO to the more superior fermented cod liver oil (FCLO) and concluded the liquid FCLO is less expensive than all but two of the liquid brands. We also discovered there are brands of CLO with 0 IU’s of Vitamin D.
However, as I mentioned, quality was not taken into account in my cost analysis. Who uses synthetic vitamins? Natural? Which brands contain soy?
This post addresses which brands contain soy. But first, let’s take a quick peek into why we don’t want soy in our CLO.
Reasons to Avoid Soy
Soybean oil is the main active ingredient used in Bayer’s “natural” pesticide – and we want to consume this?
Soy is genetically modified – we want to avoid GMO’s!
Soy is processed in a way that increases levels of carcinigens,and cause thyroid problems – read more: Soy Danger’s Summarized

Cod Liver Oil – Brand Comparison Guide and Cost Analysis
I think most of us have figured out by now making a daily habit of consuming cod liver oil (CLO) is beneficial to our health, particularly now that cold and flu season is around the corner (Read: Benefits of Vitamin D – Why it’s essential to health + the best food sources). I have recently been doing some brand and price comparisons and wanted to share what I found with you.
How much do you need?
Is Vitamin D to Vitamin A ratio important?
Is FCLO really more expensive than CLO?
Which brand requires you to take 25 of their softgels to make the 1,000 IU Vitamin D requirement, thus costing you $3/serving?
Which cod liver oil brand provides “0″ IU’s of Vitamin D (and WHY would you want to bother)?

Taco Bell beef faked? No more than the rest of the FDA-approved toxic food supply
The word spread like wildfire across the internet: An Alabama law firm had filed a class action lawsuit against Taco Bell in California, saying its meat fails to meet the definition of beef set forth by the U.S. government (and even that’s a pretty low hurdle, if you ask me). The lawsuit claims Taco Bell’s meat cannot be honestly advertised as “beef” because it claims tests showed the meat was only 35% beef, not the 70% beef required by federal standards.

Top Five Ways to Avoid GMOs in Your Food
1.) Buy Locally Produced Food
For now, GMOs are only used by large multinational corporations who buy direct from large farms. Produce from local mom and pop farmers have yet to become genetically modified. Purchasing locally grown food supports your local farmers and your health. Not to worry about GMO tomatoes and potatoes as they have all been pulled from the market. Read the full post here →

Myths and Truths About Soy
Here we dispel the myths of the “Diet Dictocrats” and reveal the scientific validity behind our wise ancestors’ nutrient-dense diets.
Myth: Use of soy as a food dates back many thousands of years.
Truth: Soy was first used as a food during the late Chou dynasty (1134-246 BC), only after the Chinese learned to ferment soybeans to make foods like tempeh, natto and tamari.
Myth: Asians consume large amounts of soy foods.
Truth: Average consumption of soy foods in Japan and China is 10 grams (about 2 teaspoons) per day. Asians consume soy foods in small amounts as a condiment, and not as a replacement for animal foods. Read the full post here →

Coconut Oil for Alzheimer’s, and Foods to AVOID to Keep Your Mind Sharp
Thoughts on Combating Alzheimer’s with Coconut Oil
The damage done to your brain from the wrong foods and from unbalanced insulin and leptin levels actually begins decades before you show any of the telltale signs of Alzheimer’s. So it’s vitally important to make healthy decisions now, before you unwittingly do decades of damage to your brain and nerves that you may not be able to reverse.
If you undertake a coconut oil or MCTs therapy protocol, be sure to start slow with the oil, and always take it with food to minimize stomach discomfort. If it takes you a few weeks to work up to the four tablespoons of coconut oil required for a therapeutic dose, that’s normal. Not everyone can tolerate so much coconut oil in a single dose right from the start.
The coconut oil or MCTs should also be taken in the morning, as it takes a minimum of three hours for the oil to convert to ketones and reach your brain. Repeating the dose of four tablespoons of coconut oil twice a day may be beneficial for those already suffering from pre-Alzheimer’s or Alzheimer’s conditions. Read the full post here →
