Autism and ADHD are created (fake) diseases (meaning they where intentionally created to sell drugs from Big Pharma.

Junk diseases, that did not exist even 30 years ago are the result of unnecessary and over and/or dangerous inoculations of toxic vaccines, like the MMR and Gardasil vaccines!

Additionally, the nutrition harm caused throughout the food and beverage chain with genetic modification and High Fructose Corn Syrup is also well established.

Watch WHAT’S WRONG WITH WHAT WE EAT? On the front page of this web site!

Anyone suggesting the above is not true, is a LIAR or Death Merchant, and seeking to profit off your children’s’ created illnesses.

In point of fact, Big Pharma are eugenicists seeking to profit off diseases they caused.

Combine such CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY with the BIOTERRORISM of any genetic modification proponent and you have a perfect storm scenario in destroying America from within, allowed by bought and paid for Republican and Democratic politicians in Congress, US Senate, State Houses, White House, and yes, even the courts are on the take, for the past 45 years!

The #1 WORST Food that HARMS Your Brain (avoid!)

In CategoryBrain/Mental Health, Food and More
ByRuss Bianchi

Some foods you might be eating daily can actually DAMAGE your brain over time. In this article, we’ll explore foods that HARM your brain vs foods that PROTECT your brain.

by Mike Geary – Certified Nutrition Specialist

Certain foods you eat can indeed harm your brain, both in impaired learning ability as well as impaired memory.  Even worse, the wrong food and drink choices throughout your life can even lead to the terrible and deadly disease of Alzheimers.

A friend of mine just told me that her dad died of Alzheimers recently and it was just a terrible disease where he didn’t even know who she was anymore towards the end.  It’s time our society starts taking degenerative diseases like Alzheimers, cancer, and heart disease more seriously throughout our lives, and not just once it’s too late. Even in our 30′s, 40′s, and 50′s, the choices we make with our daily food can PREVENT these terrible diseases.

So let’s dig in with the topic today of foods that harm your brain, and what you can do about it…
Food #1 that HARMS your brain:  Fructose

In a 2012 UCLA study published in the Journal of Physiology, researchers found that a diet high in fructose over time can damage your memory and learning ability.

Beyond the harm to your brain, it’s well known in the research world that a high fructose diet can also cause insulin resistance in your body over time, and possibly lead to type-2 diabetes and extra body fat.  If that’s not enough, a high fructose diet also detrimentally affects your triglyceride levels in your blood as well as small dense LDL particles that cause plaque in your arteries.

So what we have here is high-fructose intake = impaired memory and learning in your brain, increased risk of diabetes, and increased risk of heart disease. Oh, and we forgot to mention extra belly fat too…  Yum – who wants another can of soda pop or a large bowl of corn syrup sweetened ice cream!

The average person eating a modern western diet of processed food consumes a LARGE quantity of fructose without even thinking about it from all of the soft drinks (high fructose corn syrup typically), sweetened juice drinks, orange juice, processed junk foods such as cakes and candies, as well as the HFCS that’s added to store-bought salad dressings, breads and cereals, and even condiments like ketchup.

Note that many sports drinks, even though marketed as “healthy”, can have large amounts of corn syrup or even crystalline fructose as their main sweetener.  These sports drinks can be equally as bad as a soda for your body and your brain.  Don’t be fooled by the clever marketing showing pictures of pro athletes guzzling this stuff.

Also note that agave syrup (aka, agave nectar) which is marketed as a “healthy” sweetener as well, is one of the most concentrated forms of processed fructose in sweeteners as well.  I personally stay away from agave sweeteners as much as possible unless the amounts are very small.

All of these fructose-laden foods and drinks are easy to avoid though if you choose to eat consciously… for example, make homemade salad dressings from your favorite olive oil and vinegar with added spices, or choose to drink unsweetened iced tea with lemon instead of sweetened drinks or juices.  If you use a lot of ketchup, try to reduce the quantity by mixing with mustard or hot sauce, which typically don’t contain HFCS sweetener in any significant quantities.

Last thing to note about fructose… Yes, natural whole fruits do contain fructose, but generally contain MUCH smaller quantities of fructose than you would consume in a sweetened juice drink, soft drink or sweetened junk foods.  Also, the phytonutrients, antioxidants, and fiber that’s contained in most whole fruits counteracts any negative effects of fructose.  I personally try to keep fruit intake to no more than 1-2 pieces a day due to the sugar and fructose content of larger amounts of fruit.

Here’s a trick:  Did you know that limes and lemons contain virtually zero fructose, and only 3-4 grams of total carbs in a whole lemon or lime, whereas a typical orange contains 6 grams of fructose and 25 grams of total sugar per fruit.  I squeeze lemons and limes daily into either water or teas for a healthy flavorful drink. Fresh lemon juice has even been shown to control blood sugar response from a meal…another bonus!
Other Foods that HARM Your Brain:

You probably already know some of the harmful health effects of these foods, but long term effects on your brain are yet another…

Trans fats — strongly inflammatory in your entire body including damage to cell membranes throughout your body.  Avoid hydrogenated oils in processed foods and deep fried foods.

Mercury — studies show that mercury from pollution (coal burning plants are the biggest source of mercury pollution to air and water) and from fish that are high on the food chain such as tuna, shark, swordfish, tilefish, etc can possibly cause long term negative effects on your brain.  Limit these types of fish to a couple times a month and focus more on fish such as salmon, trout, and many other types of smaller fish to reduce your mercury load.

Wheat-based foods — In the groundbreaking book, Wheat Belly, Dr William Davis makes a very convincing argument that wheat has addictive properties in the brain.  Wheat contains compounds termed “exorphins” that have an effect in your brain similar to opiate drugs.  This explains why people have such a hard time giving up their beloved breads, cereals, pasta, and muffins because these foods are mildly addictive.

I know personally from past experience that if I have have a pasta dinner, I’ll go back for seconds and thirds as I just can’t seem to stop eating the stuff.  And then hours after dinner, I’ll get cravings for more carb-based foods or sweets.  But if I pass on the pasta and just have meat, veggies, and salad, I find myself totally satisfied after dinner with no cravings later at night.

Elevated levels of C-reactive protein appear associated with psychological distress, depression. C-reactive protein is a marker of Inflammatory Disease

In CategoryBrain/Mental Health
ByRuss Bianchi

CHICAGO – Elevated levels of C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammatory disease, appear to be associated with increased risk of psychological distress and depression in the general population of adults in Denmark, according to a report published Online First by Archives of General Psychiatry, a JAMA Network publication.

Depression is one of the leading causes of disability and previous studies suggest that low-grade systemic inflammation may contribute to the development of depression. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a commonly used marker of inflammation, and inflammatory disease is suspected when CRP levels exceed 10 mg/L. Researchers are unclear whether and to what extent elevated CRP levels are associated with psychological distress and depression in the general population, according to the study background.

Marie Kim Wium-Andersen, M.D., of Herlev Hospital and Copenhagen University Hospital, Denmark, and colleagues examined whether elevated plasma levels of CRP were associated with distress and depression. Researchers analyzed CRP levels using data from two general population studies in Copenhagen, which included 73,131 men and women ages 20 to 100 years.

“The main finding of this study consisted of an association of elevated CRP levels with an increased risk for psychological distress and depression in the general population,” the authors comment.

Increasing CRP levels were associated with increasing risk for psychological distress and depression in analyses. For self-reported antidepressant use, the odds ratio was 1.38 for CRP levels of 1.01 to 3 mg/L, 2.02 for 3.01 to 10 mg/L, and 2.7 for greater than 10 mg/L compared with 0.01 to 1 mg/L. For prescription of antidepressants, the corresponding odds ratios were 1.08, 1.47 and 1.77, respectively; for hospitalization with depression they were 1.30, 1.84 and 2.27 respectively. Other analyses suggest that increasing CRP levels also were associated with increasing risk for hospitalization with depression, according to the study results.

“More research is needed to establish the direction of the association between CRP and depression because this study and others are primarily cross-sectional. The results also support the initiation of intervention studies to examine whether adding anti-inflammatory drugs to antidepressants for treatment of depression will improve outcome,” the authors conclude.

High Fructose Corn Syrup, Crystalline Fructose (which is not fruit sugar and genetically modified from corn and therefore proven to be cancer causing also like HFCS) as well as illegally and criminally deceptively labeled “agave” which is hydrolyzed high fructose inulin syrup, are primarily converted in the Krebs Cycle of human metabolization to huge empirical increases in triglycerides. LDL (bad for you) cholesterol and store body fat (adipose tissue).

Cane sugar (a disaccharide, not a chemically created monosaccharide like HFCS) is primary convert to blood glucose in human ingestion.

The JAMA study PRETENDS not to understand the human metabolic mechanisms, that have been proven for decades and are not refutable.

Does chemically refined and genetically modified fructose or HFCS or fake agave harm at and ingestion level in anyone and trigger weight gain, diabetes, obesity, depression, hyperactivity, many other diseases and cancer? YES.

ADHD Medicine Affects the Brain’s Reward System

There is no such thing as attention deficit, such behavior is caused by poor absorbable nutrition in a pregnant mother, a lack of nursing of an infant, an extremely dumb down food and beverage chains, including bad for children infant formulas and highly processed baby food, massive over injection/vaccines/boosters/flu shot causing many of these issues along with autism in children, plus the flood of the food and beverage chain with cheap High Fructose Corn Syrup!

Additionally, children REQUIRE 40 percent of their diet to be in saturated real fats, like whole raw fresh milk, or their brains cannot develop correctly.

Also a lack of vitamin D-3 is a major contributor to behaviors being labeled as some disorder to SELL MORE HARMFUL DRUGS!

Ask yourself a simple question: why was there no attention disorder in children prior to the 1970′s?! Because children ate and got real unprocessed and non industrialized food, whole milk and were not shot or drugged up!

ADHD meds, ssri’s and moa’s (anti depressants) are a FRAUD and no child should be put on them!

SSRI’s (antidepressants) are a fraud, and did not exist prior to the mid 1970′s

SSRI’s are highly dangerous and should not be consumed, as documented for massive numbers of adverse side effects, up to, and including DEATH, in this blog, as well as massive wellness recommended reading lists, on this web site, by many dozens of MD’s.

Was everyone depressed prior to the introduction of these deadly drugs? NO, folks got real vitamin D-3 and real fats and oils, in their food or beverages back then that where stripped out for profit.

Glia Cells THRIVE on efficacious bio available moringa found only in ZIJA!

~ Uncle Russ

Glia cells, named for the Greek word for “glue,” hold the brain’s neurons together and protect the cells that determine our thoughts and behaviors, but scientists have long puzzled over their prominence in the activities of the brain dedicated to learning and memory. Now Tel Aviv University researchers say that glia cells are central to the brain’s plasticity — how the brain adapts, learns, and stores information.

Was everyone depressed or psychotic prior to the mid 1970′s, when SSRI’s and MOA’s (classes of anti-depressant drugs) were introduced? NO!  We consumed real fats and oil in our daily caloric intake, along with ample vitamin D-3 and other beneficial nutrients in unprocessed and chemically harmful food and beverages!
