How to beat inflamation

The following was a list I created for a client of mine fighting inflammation problems. I figured I would share it with you all in hopes that more can benefit from it

Get Smart... Food labels for dummies

So I am sure anybody with one foot in the nutrition world has heard this saying before.
"If you don't know whats on your food label, or can't pronounce it, then don't eat it"
We have heard this thousands of times when it comes to food labels. Don't eat these chemicals, they are bad for you. While yes there are many things that are chemical shit shows for your body IE High Fructose Corn Syrup (and it really is bad for you) The business around the product will go to any lengths to defend it and paint it in the best light. If you google HFCS you will come up with the first sites paid for "sweet surprise" Where they tell you how its made from corn bla bla bla.... They are lying.

But what I really want to get to today is what about food labels is so good or bad? For example if you read dihydrogen monoxide on your food label. The average person would freak out. Here is a beautiful example of this.



Surprised? Hope you are starting to get my point. While you will always be bombarded with information, studies, proof, evidence, protests, and popular belief. There will always be arguments, information, studies, proof, and evidence supporting the other side. So do yourself a favor. Before jumping onto a bandwagon and getting all passionate about some new health trend or a tried and true wifes tale. Check your facts for yourself. Analyze and do whats best for you.
