A Note To Food Manufacturers...
Food manufacturing in the US has always been about convenience, product availability, taste and price. The more society ventured away from the family garden and kitchen, the more food manufacturers developed a market or niche for their products at home in the cupboards. Processed foods no longer are limited to flour and sugar on the country store shelf, but have evolved to include the variety of foods eaten daily and taken from restaurants, grocery stores, super markets and convenience stores.As the commonality of quick processed foods increases throughout the world, health problems such as obesity, diabetes and cancer have also become common and inevitable to the point that *"1 in 3 American adults have Insulin Resistance, a pre-diabetic condition", and this will only be the beginning.The philosophy behind Functional Food is to create food additives and ingredients that will enhance the bodies health by making manufactured foods more beneficial to the consumer with out losing quality or taste.It is the intention to not only create additives and ingredients that will benefit todays market but will benefits today's generation as they age.By using products such as "SugarBlendtm",and "FlourBlendtm,, in drinks, cakes, cookies, candies, breads, pastries, and snacks, today's children will have increased mineral uptake, aiding in the prevention of Osteoporosis as they age, increasing bowel function, reducing the chance of colon cancer and by aiding in the control of blood sugar swings that may cause diabetes later in life. These "Functional" properties are accomplished without side effects that may cause consumers to reject manufactured products. These side effects include sweeteners that cause a laxative effect, gas, bloating, aftertaste and degrading sweetness in high heat.
Styrofoam-like textures, no taste, distasteful smell and color in cooking flour substitutes.We see that parents today are becoming more aware and educated in the direction of nutrition, especially with regards to growing children. If foods are eaten that increase calcium in the bones today, twenty years from now, it is possible that this generation won't suffer from Osteoporosis or Colon Cancer. If foods are eaten today that keep the blood sugar steady and absorb slowly in the gut, not only will the child have protection from disease, but they will have a lessor chance of developing diabetes twenty years from now also.The main objective of Home Blend Gourmet and others that manufacture functional food is "The Health of Humanity". Manufactures using these products today can influence the health of future generation and secure their markets for tomorrow. We create first rate ingredients and additives by being on the cutting edge of research.
The demands of fast paced lives and lifestyles shouldn't cost the health of the human race. We can help food manufactures become more health conscious and competitive with marketing strategies that will put them above the rest of the pack. Today, the education of the general public on nutrition is vastly brought about through mass media, by informational commercials, through news media, T.V. talk shows, magazine articles and newspaper articles.High protein, low-carb, low-fat diets have gained popularity through media blitzes on celebrity books, university studies, restaurant menus and nutritional labels. These diet plans have also gained popularity by the prove results, some of the newest diets include Glycemic Indexing, or the blood glucose response to the manufactured products.
We check our food formula's for impact to blood sugar response by doing in vivo oral tolerance tests. Each formula is created to not only aid in control of nutritional conditions, but that the side-effects of that formula is beneficial to the human body. We offer In Vivo testing for any of our manufacturing clients that would like to use Glycemic Indexing guidelines for marketing their products. We are South Pacific Health Enterprises, and we license our food formulas only to Home Blend Gourmet.*AACE, AC of Endo. Conference, 08-25-26, 2003.

"As our diet popularity increases, we receive lots of questions concerning the principles it is based upon. Let me give a couple of very simple definitions to clarify the matter," says Tanya Zilberter, PhD. "There's nothing mysterious at all. The fat burning rate is the number of milligrams of fat burnt by 1 kg of body fat in 1 minute. Our Fat Burning Index is just a term; we use it for quantitative description of foods' and meals' potentials to burn or to store fat."The point can be best explained in terms of ketosis, which any low carb dieter is familiar with.
Ketosis is a biochemical condition that occurs when the body produces ketones (ketone bodies) at a higher rate than glucose's release into the blood.Ketone bodies provide energy for the body's needs when there is a total food restriction, carbohydrate restriction, and/or long enough physical effort.In the beginning of ketosis, ketones provide up to 75% of total energy requirement, including energy required by the brain....

Red meat consumption doubles risk of colon cancer, says study; is it time to go vegetarian yet?
Copyright 2006 Truth Publishing
A current study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association shows a doubling of the risk of colon cancer for people who are heavy consumers of red meat. More specifically, it shows that the risk doubles compared to those who consume smaller quantities of red meat. But how does this compare to people who consume no red meat at all?
This is conjecture, but I'm willing to bet that heavy consumers of red meat probably have quadruple the risk (or more) of colon cancer compared to vegetarians or people who consume no red meat. By the way, you don't have to be a vegetarian to boycott red meat. You can still be a consumer of other sources of animal protein (fish, seafood, etc.) while avoiding red meat.
There are plenty of health reasons to avoid eating red meat, and a higher risk of colon cancer is just one of them.
The saturated animal fat found in red meat products contributes to heart disease and...

The Glycemic Index Diet
Copyright 2006 Adam Waxler
The glycemic index diet plan certainly is being endorsed by more and more celebrities. ?But how exactly does the glycemic index diet (GI Diet) differ from the other diets on the market.
The glycemic index diet is based on the findings of Dr. David Jenkins that some sugar-based carbohydrates affect the glucose levels in the body differently than the more complex starch based carbohydrates.
According to the glycemic index diet, foods that provide a slow delivery of sugar to the body will be helpful to weight loss in that it will prevent the dieter from feeling the need for energy and therefore the need to keep on eating.
On the other hand, foods with a high glycemic index provide a sudden influx of sugar to the body that provides energy at first, but then leaves you feeling tired and hungry as body begins to crave more sugar.
Eating foods with a high glycemic index lead to the need for even more...

Is your child fat?
Well, according to the latest statistics concerning child health fitness (and my own observance of people where I live), there's a pretty good chance that he/she is.
I can't wait to hear from everyone who tells me that they are predisposed to be fat, or they have the "fat gene" (whatever that is), or they inherited fatness from their great great grandmother's 4th cousin.
Well, I call BS.
Is it possible that you have to work a little harder to lose some weight??.sure.
Will some of you have to go that extra mile to accomplish you goals???absolutely.
Is there ANY reason at all, no matter what shape you're in, to not get started on an exercise and fitness program??..HECK NO!
There is always time, there is always a way to get you and your family in the shape that you need to be in.
Parents, if your child is fat???..guess what, it's partially you're fault.
Yep, I said it.
