Agave Nectar...

I've been a fan of agave nectar for a couple of years, thinking it was a more natural sweetener. Masterful marketing has led us to think that agave is the best thing since sliced bread, Well guess what, this is a quote by Dr Mercola, "Agave "Nectar" or syrup is nothing more than a laboratory-generated super-condensed fructose syrup, devoid of virtually all nutrient value". Sounds like the best natural sweetener is Stevia powder, It's made from Stevia herb leaves and erythritol, a crystal granulated naturally produced filler found in fruits, vegetables and grains. A pinch of stevia powder is the equivalent of about a teaspoon of sugar. These marketing crooks, should be eating jail food... Another choice is Rapadura, a natural cane sugar that has not been refined, so It's packed with trace minerals and nutrients...

White Rice...

Sometimes i find doing what i do a little conflicting, like telling you to stay away from processed foods, like white rice, when the Asians have eaten the stuff for years, and seem to live forever! Well i have done some research, and it seems like the reason Asian folks can eat white rice without any adverse health issues are two fold. First their saliva glads and pancreas are twice the size of other folks around the world, and secondly they cook rice in large batches, which sit around for a bit, which may indicate that the rice is in a fermented state, making it more digestible...

So there you go. Namaste' Hobbes

Myla's All Natural Deodorant.

This is a good little recipe for a natural deodorant, it won't stand up to a long basketball game, but for an every day walk around town thing, it works great...

Dissolve 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, into two tablespoons of boiling water, when It's cool pour into a four once spray bottle, (available at pharmacies). Add two tablespoons of witch hazel, that's it! You can also add a few drops of lavender, sandalwood or tea tree for fragrance and antiseptic properties...

Thanks Myla...
