Vitamin Cautions Explained

Precautions exist for Folic Acid, Selenium, Calcium, Zinc, Beta Carotene, Vitamins A, B1, B6, B12, C, D, & E. Why there are so many DESIGN FLAWS in multi-vitamin formulas may be a mystery to some, but after discovering the new vitamin reality presented on this website, the mystery will disappear. 

Have you heard this before?

New large study research found an association between higher vitamin B6 (>35mg) and B12 (>20 mcg) intakes with 50% increased risk of hip fractures. article The reason is unknown, but theories are offered! ref 

FUN FACTS

Plants and trees take in CO2 from the atmosphere to help growth. As CO2 levels increase from the burning of fossil fuels, volcano eruptions, ocean water temperature changes, and melting permafrost, plants and trees have been busy growing faster and larger. In fact this fun fact has lead to the re-greening of many non plant areas of the planet. NASA over the last decade has been measuring this effect from satellites in space taking pictures. article

So far, this re-greening has impacted an area twice the size of the continental United States with new plant and tree coverage. This will significantly slow down any climate changes as this new green area growth will absorb quite a lot of future CO2 emissions. This gives Nations more time to make and implement non CO2 energy changes. article

The Sun is due to flip poles within a year. Have to wait and see what the effects will be from the increased release of electromagnetic energy coupled with this event. Were the Northern Lights showing up in lower altitudes recently a beginning? article

Where's the BEEF (fat)

HOW DIET CAN INFLUENCE BACTERIA 

This is a very revealing story. It begins with cattle grazing on pasture grass and hay. The grass feeds very specific bacteria that dominate the cows many chambered stomachs and intestinal tract. This bacteria that likes grass builds healthful fatty acids that increase omega 3 and CLA content in milk and meat. BUT, an interesting twist happens when cows are in feedlots eating corn and other grains, a different type of bacteria becomes dominate that does not produce the same fatty acids and therefore there is less omega 3 fats and CLA in milk and meat from these cows. Quite a bit less. What does increase are the omega 6 fats. The cattle producers know this happens and that these effects are not healthy for the cow or humans that feed on these products. So, they attempt to introduce grass for short periods to slightly increase omega 3, and make the animals healthier. ref This process is called back-grounding. Beef from grass fed cows is a health food. Corn grain feedlot fed cows produce junk food. It will not keep you healthy long term. Supplements of fish oil may have some benefit here to help balance omega levels.

FYI: Remember, fish oils are highly perishable. Buy small sizes and refrigerate, leave cotton in bottle to control moisture. Use lower dosages (EPA 180, DHA 120) since they are less processed and get omega 3 fats from smaller fish which are less polluted or contaminated. article

What if this also happened in humans?  Do grains influence different bacteria to grow more dominate and start battling with the other bacteria that used to predominate before grain growing and eating  started 10,000 years ago? There is a rather interesting fact concerning the different bacteria that predominate between thin and obese people.  Scientist have found that if they take the bacteria from thin people, and after neutralizing the bacteria present in large people, put the thin people bacteria into obese people, they start to lose weight. Interesting! ref
