How to Stay Thin
The cheapest sweetener you can buy is High
Fructose Corn Syrup. Corn sweeteners are both
cheaper and sweeter and that’s why it is in just
about everything you buy.
I was in Michigan a few months ago and went to the
store to pick something up. My granddaughter and
her girl friend wanted to go with. When we got
there she asked. Can we get something? I told her
you can get what ever they want, as long as it
doesn’t contain high fructose corn syrup. They
looked around the entire store reading labels and
they both came back to me and said everything has
it.

I did some research my self and found out that
most corn in the USA is Genetically Modified and
that’s an entirely different problem that I will
address later.

I found an article by Dr. Mercola very
interesting.
“A 2009 study from University of California, Davis
takes its place in a growing lineup of scientific
studies demonstrating that consuming high-fructose
corn syrup is the fastest way to trash your
health. It is now known without a doubt that sugar
in your food, in all its myriad of forms, is
taking a devastating toll. Fructose in any form —
including high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and
crystalline fructose — is the worst of the worst!
Fructose, a cheap sweetener usually derived from
corn, is used in thousands of food products and
soft drinks. Excessive fructose consumption can
cause metabolic damage and triggers the early
stages of diabetes and heart disease.
Some of the side effects are
Insulin resistance and obesity

• Elevated triglycerides and elevated LDL

• Depletion of vitamins and minerals

• Cardiovascular disease, liver disease, cancer,
arthritis, and gout

• High Blood Pressure

It isn’t that fructose itself is bad — it is the
MASSIVE DOSES you’re exposed to that make it
dangerous. There are two reasons fructose is so
damaging:

1. Your body metabolizes fructose in a much
different way from glucose. The entire burden of
metabolizing fructose falls on your liver.
2. People are consuming fructose in enormous
quantities, which has made the negative effects
much more profound.

The FDA classifies fructose as GRAS: Generally
Regarded As Safe. Which pretty much means nothing
and is based on nothing. There is plenty of data
showing that fructose is not safe — but the
effects on the nation’s health have not been
immediate. That is why we are just now realizing
the effects of the last three decades of
nutritional misinformation.

If you really want to lose weight and keep it off
it’s easy if you are willing to make a life style
change. But if you are not about to change your
eating habits you may just be on the yoyo program
where you loose a few pounds and gain them right
back. I sure you know that one.
I have found that there are a few things that
really work well.

a. Read all the labels before you buy it. If you
see high fructose corn syrup don’t buy it.
b. If it’s pastoralized take it out of your
diet. Dairy products will make you fat.
c. Most of the wheat in the USA and Canada is
GMO. Forget it! They are not going to keep you
slim or healthy. Not only will you keep stacking
on pounds your health maybe in danger.
d. Start detoxing your body on a regular basic.
I do a detox every 3 months for a week or two.
Summer, fall, winter and spring are the best
times. If you haven’t ever detoxed , most likely
you are toxic from the air you breath, the water
you drink and the foods you are eating. I found
the core Restore Program to be one of the best and
easy to do.

e. Begin an exercise program and do it 4 times
a week for 90 days. I have found that the internal
exercises work wonders on balancing the mind and
the body. Yoga, Tai chi and Qi Gong keep you
strong and flexible in body, mind and spirit.
Start off with the Flying Crane Qi Gong it’s easy
to learn and will open up the hand centers in
weeks, and you will feel the Qi

It’s the day after Christmas, the entire house is a mess rapping
paper balled up, presents still in boxes, your
in- laws are still in your spare bedroom
and the kids are out of school for more days then wish to count.

STRESS seems to be around every intersection you turn.

Everything may seem to be a little overwhelming and you are
stressed to the max.
We all know it’s going to keep on going strong for a few
more weeks, as we are getting ready for more merriment,

We all want to keep our ticker ticking as long as possible
without any glitches and although the holidays are a time to
kick back, over eat and knock back several glasses of holiday cheer
that excessive drinking can cause irregular heartbeat
and it can up your odds for a stroke.

On Christmas Day, many people confuse shortness of breath or
chest pains with indigestion from drinking and overeating.
On most days you would play it safe and go to the hospital.
But it’s just a annoyance around the holidays so we wait
and that can be a your last mistake.

In Chinese Medicine there are some Symptoms of Heart Disease
to give you a heads up before anything ever happens-
things like vertical or tangential crease on earlobes,
Horizontal crease across the bridge of the nose,
deep narrow central crack on the tongue extending to the tip.

Hear are some tips to keep your heart healthy:
• Avoid Eating – high fat, high cholesterol foods
• Pass on caffeine
• No tobacco

• Sugar is a no, no!
• Butter, red meat, fried foods, soft drinks, spicy foods,
white flour all of these can add more stress to your heart .

Eat More – fiber, raw foods, fish, turkey, chicken, garlic, and
onions, and nuts.

Doing the right Exercise can keep your heart healthy
and strong for years and years.
That’s why I practice internal exercise like Qi Gong on a daily.

Is the Government Making you FAT?

Thursday, September 29th, 2011

I was in Michigan with my friend
Frank eating breakfast in a little
Greek place located in Royal Oak.
I picked up the morning newspaper
and read this article by Dr. Paul Donohue
from Orlando, Florida.

“High – fructose corn syrup a
factor in obesity.”

“Dear Doctor,
I don’t remember you ever
discussing high-fructose corn syrup and
condensed corn syrup. Almost every product
includes these ingredients. Please let us know
the dangers and why the government allows it.

Fructose is the sugar found in fruits. Table
sugar is sucrose, a combination of fructose
and glucose .Up to the 1980s, sucrose was the
universal sweetener. In the 1980s, a process was
discovered that turned cornstarch into corn syrup
and then into fructose. Fructose was then combined
with glucose to produce a sugar product with the
terrible name of high- fructose corn syrup. It’s very
similar to sucrose, table sugar. High – fructose corn
syrup consists of 45 percent glucose and 55 percent
fructose. Table sugar is 50 percent glucose and 50
percent fructose.

High-fructose corn syrup is as sweet as and cheaper
than table sugar, the sugar that comes from
sugar cane and sugar beets. Manufacturers use it
in commercial products like soft drinks, baked goods,
energy bars and many candies.
So why all the fuss? People have increased their
consumption of high-fructose corn syrup foods and
drinks so much that they have become a main source
of their calorie intake. Some think it is the reason that
the obesity epidemic has struck North America. Like
other sugars, this can lead to problems like diabetes.
Excessive amounts cause fat accumulation in the liver.

One 12-ounce can of most soft drinks has the equivalent of
10 teaspoons of sugar, 150 calories – a large sugar load
and a large calorie load. The average American drinks
36 gallons of soft drinks in a year.”

Lately, the corn industry has been running ads saying
that high fructose corn syrup is like a healthy vegetable.

I don’t think so!
Eating and drinking High-fructose corn syrup affects
your health way more than you can imagine. Read all
labels before you put anything in your mouth. Here are
just a few of problems caused by the intake of
High-fructose corn syrup.

* Weight gain
* Heart disease
* Increases in body fat
* Higher levels of triglycerides
* Bad cholesterol, the type that sticks to your arteries!
* Diabetes
* Makes people want to eat more
* Osteoporosis
* Gout
* Fibromyalgia

You may be asking yourself right now, why would
our government allow something to be put in our
foods that would do so much harm?

Big corporations have strong lobbyists who work to
get legislation through. They pay lots and lots of
money to give big business what they want –and
they want money and power. It doesn’t have
anything to do with your health or wellbeing.
What can you do?

1. Read all labels
2. Ask for healthy products in your super market
3. Don’t buy foods or drinks with high fructose corn syrup
4. Avoid restaurants that use that stuff in their kitchen
5. Stop drinking all sodas
6. Keep reading Dr Wu’s blog www.rechargingqigong.com
7. Get your friends to read Dr. Wu’s blog

The more locally grown fresh food you put into
your diet, the better chances you have of staying
healthy and dis-ease free.

I thank you for reading my new letters and please tell
your friends to sign up for them.
They will be thanking you for years.

I wish you the best in your Health,
Wealth and Happiness

Dr. Wu Dhi
