FDA's SMART CHOICE PROGRAM “Froot Loops is an excellent source of many essential vitamins and minerals and it is also a good source of fiber with only 12 grams of sugar,” said Celeste A. Clark, senior vice president of global nutrition for Kellogg’s, which makes Froot Loops. “You cannot judge the nutritional merits of a food product based on one ingredient.” Dr. Clark, who is a member of the Smart Choices board, said that the program’s standard for sugar in cereals was consistent with federal dietary guidelines that say that “small amounts of sugar” added to nutrient-dense foods like breakfast cereals can make them taste better. That, in theory, will encourage people to eat more of them, which would increase the nutrients in their diet.

What is Subluxation?

Subluxation The term subluxation means minor misalignment however the affects on the human body as a result of a subluxation on the upper cervical spine can be far from minor. In the simplest of terms, a subluxation is when one or more vertebrae (bones in your spine) move out of line and create pressure on spinal nerves. Spinal nerves are the nerves that come out from the vertebrae in your spine. Pressure on the nerves can cause interference with the signals traveling through them - leading to numerous health related problem. Chiropractors commonly recognize five categories of components present in the Vertebral Subluxation Complex (VSC). • Spinal Kinesiopathology - is where the bones of the spine become stuck, don't move enough, or move too much. • Neuropathophysiology (abnormal nervous system function) - nerves can become overexcited and hyperactive. Due to the way the spine is engineered, abnormal spinal function can irritate, pinch, rub or cho

That Headache Had Meaning!

That Headache Had Meaning! Remember this when a headache occurs. You gamble with your health when you treat the pain rather than the cause. Some headaches have simple explanations such as those resulting from overindulgence in food and drink. This type usually passes as soon as its cause—a disturbed digestive and eliminative tract—has been relieved. Most other headaches, however, particularly if chronic or recurring, should be taken more seriously, as they may be a warning signal of a more serious health problem. And often the problem is not related to the head. Headaches can, of course, result from many conditions. But research has revealed that a common cause—often unrecognized—can be traced to the cervical vertebrae (spinal bones of the neck). One should not delude oneself in assuming that headaches are “normal” and that they can be easily corrected with a package of “pain killers.’ Seeking relief by merely drugging the pain often allows the cause of the symptoms to g

Not all back problems are due to severe strains or dramatic accidents. There are times when a relatively innocent act such as stepping off a curbstone or lifting a pencil from the floor is sufficient cause for back pain. Unexpected, awkward, and off-balance movements of any kind can cause back pain and sciatica. This is because the pain may be the symptom of a spinal disorder compounded by structural weakness. Pains of mysterious origin may be caused by spinal insults. Sometimes they symptoms of the back problem appear immediately, allowing the victim to correlate cause and effect. However, sometimes days or even mont
