         <title>Andrew Weil’s Sugar Substitutes</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>This ariticle was originally printed in Open Exchange Healthy Living Magazine <br />
October-December 2006 (www.openexchange.org) which is distributed for free<br />
in the Bay Area.</p>

<p>Andrew Weil’s Sugar Substitutes</p>

<p>Andrew Weil, M.D., is nationally recognized for sound advice on holistic medicine.  <br />
According to Dr. Weil, it’s better to consume moderate amounts of sugar than any <br />
artificial sweeteners.  “Sugar is okay in moderation, and it’s relatively low in calories <br />
(about 15 per teaspoon.)  For diabetics and others who can’t tolerate sugar, I <br />
recommend natural sweeteners like stevia and tagalose.”<br />
   Dr. Weil recommends steering clear of most artificial sugar substitutes because <br />
of lingering health concerns, as well as inferior taste.<br />
   Regarding Aspartame (NutraSweet, Equal), he notes tat rats given modest amounts <br />
throughout their lives had elevated rates of lymphomas, leukemias, and other cancers <br />
(Environmental Health Perspectives, March 2006)  Many people also report <br />
dizziness and headaches, suggesting an effect on the central nervous system.<br />
   Of saccharin (Sweet’N Low), a study by the National Cancer Institute found some <br />
evidence of increased risk of bladder cancer in heavy consumers.<br />
   Sucralose (Splenda) is now the best selling artificial sweetener probably because it <br />
tastes most like sugar.  However according to the nonprofit organization Citizens for <br />
Health, numerous consumers have reported adverse effects ranging from stomach pains <br />
and headaches to skin rashes.  Dr. Weil would avoid it pending more extensive research <br />
to validate its safety.<br />
   Sugar alcohols (sorbitol, xylitol, erythritol, and others) may be beneficial to diabetics <br />
because they do not raise blood sugar levels in modest amounts.  However, they can <br />
aggravate irritable bowel syndrome and even cause diarrhea.  So, Dr. Weil says use with <br />
caution.<br />
   We’d like to add that it’s wise to stay away from foods and drinks sweetened with high <br />
fructose corn syrup, now implicated in elevated blood sugar and obesity.  Try cutting back <br />
on your sweetener and enjoy the flavor of the food itself.  Over time you’ll find your sugar <br />
cravings subside.</p>

         <title>Anatomy of a Killer</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p>                    </font></strong><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><em>beating diabetes and  the obesity epidemic</em></font> <br><br />
                      <img src="http://www.steviva.com/images/ln02.gif" width="112" height="14"><br><br />
                      <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Diabetes is a disease of the metabolism: Something goes wrong with the way the body processes food. When a healthy person eats carbohydrates (like bread, potatoes or cookies), they get broken down into sugar and sent into the bloodstream. Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, then acts as a delivery system, moving the sugar from your blood into your cells, where it is burned for fuel. When diabetes strikes, the pancreas either stops making insulin  or the body cells become insulin-resistant and &quot;refuse delivery&quot; of all or most of the sugar (type II). Either way, sugar builds up in the blood, the body doesn't get enough fuel, and complications result.</font></p><br />
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Type II diabetes is on the rise. &quot;There's been a sharp increase in the number of cases in recent years. In fact, it's rising to epidemic proportions, and we can expect the number to double in 10 years. A review of the risk factors and a quick look at the American population tells us why.</font></p><br />
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">1) Obesity: Americans (adults and children) are getting fatter.</font></p><br />
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">2) Lack of exercise: We're living increasingly sedentary lives.</font></p><br />
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">3) Age: As baby boomers get older, the number of Americans over 40--statistically at greater risk--increases.</font></p><br />
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">4) Genetics: Hispanic-Americans, African-Americans and Native Americans have a higher incidence of the disease (12 to 15 percent, 10.8 percent and 30 percent respectively, compared with 5 to 6 percent among Caucasians), and these segments of the population are growing.</font></p><br />
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Fortunately, as dire as diabetes is, it is not a death sentence. The keys to managing it are a <strong>healthful sugar free diet, regular exercise and stress management.</strong> What's more, you can use these same tools to reduce your risk of developing the disease in the first place.</p>]]></description>

                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><img src="http://www.steviva.com/stevia-thom-king-steviva.jpg" width="150" height="155" hspace="10" vspace="5" align="left">Success is defined differently by all of us. I have seen people with a great deal of financial success while  emotionally they were bankrupt. The best kind of success of all is the well rounded success of having every facet of your life covered. There is of course financial success but, there is also emotional success, family success, educational success and the list can go on and on. Whatever success you desire to draw into your life you will need a plan&hellip; a road map if you will. The following seven tips are used by every successful person in the world. Now they can be used by you.</font></p>
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Decide What You Want<br>
                    </strong>Step number one, decide exactly what it is you want in each part of your life. Become a &quot;meaningful specific&quot; rather than a &quot;wandering generality.&quot; </font></p>
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Write it Down<br>
                    </strong>Second, write it down, clearly and in detail. Always think on paper. A goal that is not in writing is not a goal at all. It is merely a wish and it has no energy behind it. </font></p>
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Set a Deadline <br>
                    </strong>Third, set a deadline for your goal. A deadline acts as a &quot;forcing system&quot; in your subconscious mind. It motivates you to do the things necessary to make your goal come true. If it is a big enough goal, set sub-deadlines as well. Don't leave this to chance. </font></p>
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong> &nbsp;Make a List <br>
                    </strong>Fourth, make a list of everything that you can think of that you are going to have to do to achieve your goal. When you think of new tasks and activities, write them on your list until your list is complete. </font></p>
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Organize Your List <br>
                    </strong>Fifth, organize your list into a plan. Decide what you will have to do first and what you will have to do second. Decide what is more important and what is less important. And then write out your plan on paper, the same way you would develop a blueprint to build your dream house. </font></p>
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Take Action<br>
                    </strong>The sixth step is for you to take action on your plan. Do something. Do anything. But get busy. Get going. </font></p>
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>Do Something Every Day<br>
                    </strong>Do something every single day that moves you in the direction of your most important goal at the moment. Develop the discipline of doing something 365 days each year that is moving you forward. You will be absolutely astonished at how much you accomplish when you utilize this formula in your life every single day.</font></p>

                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Need a sugar fix? If you do, there are a lot of products on the shelves that will satisfy your craving without adding to your calorie count or waistline.</font></p>
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Sugar alcohols such as <a href="http://www.steviva.com/cgi-bin/cp-app.pl?=&pg=prod&ref=steviv8ozbottle&cat=&catstr=">stevia</a>, <a href="http://www.steviva.com/cgi-bin/cp-app.pl?pg=prod&ref=stevivablend">stevia blend</a>, maltitol and xylito can give food a sweet flavor without the calories found in the different forms of sugar. For instance, a half cup of sugar-free ice cream made with <a href="http://www.steviva.com/cgi-bin/cp-app.pl?pg=prod&ref=stevivablend">stevia blend</a> can around 90 calories as compared to regular ice cream's 190. Switching to yogurt flavored with <a href="http://www.steviva.com/cgi-bin/cp-app.pl?pg=prod&ref=stevivablend">stevia blend</a> and fruit can save about 90 calories, and choosing making a non-calorie drink can trim 150 or more!</font></p>
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Switch to sugar-free candy, and you may save even more calories. 
                      Just be sure to check the nutrition panel for chemical sweeteners on the package, watch the serving size, and account for any calories you consume.</font></p>
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">If sugar-free foods can help you lose weight, then in that way they can play a role in improving your health. But sweets should be considered treats, and kept to a minimum.</font></p>
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Some people have reported sensitivities to these substances, and for some large quantities cause gas and diarrhea. People with diabetes need to account for the carbohydrate content in their overall meal plan. And while the FDA has approved these substances as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS), the once-popular saccharine was later determined to be a potential cancer-causing agent. so alway stick with all natural <font color="#000066"><a href="http://www.steviva.com/cgi-bin/cp-app.pl?pg=prod&ref=stevivablend">Steviva Brand Stevia Blend</a> and <a href="http://www.steviva.com/cgi-bin/cp-app.pl?=&pg=prod&ref=steviv8ozbottle&cat=&catstr=">Steviva Brand Stevia Powder</a><strong>!</strong></font></font></p>

                    3. In a large bowl with high sides, mix the gelatin with boiling water until all the gelatin has dissolved. Then stir in the cold water. With an electric mixer, slowly beat in the cream cheese. After all cream cheese is added, stir in remaining 1/2 teaspoon coconut extract, and beat at high speed until smooth. Carefully fold in the whipped cream. Use a spatula to scrape mixture into the pie pan and spread around. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons ground nuts on top. Refrigerate several hours or overnight to allow gelatin to set thoroughly.</font></p>

                      <img src="http://www.steviva.com/images/ln02.gif" width="112" height="14"></p>
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Detoxification, or detox, diets are touted by many as a way to remove "toxins" from the body. This practice stems from the belief that the food you consume contains a range of harmful substances, which accumulate in your body, causing fatigue, headaches, nausea and even disease. But there is no evidence that this is true or that detox diets have any health benefits. Also, in some cases, detox diets can have harmful side effects.</font></p>
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Detox diets vary. But the basic premise is to temporarily give up certain foods that are thought to contain "toxins," such as meat, sugar, certain grains, dairy and caffeine. Detox diets typically start with fasting followed by a strict diet of raw vegetables, fruit and fruit juices and water. In addition, some detox diets advocate using herbal laxatives, antioxidants and colon cleansing (enemas) to help "clean" out the intestine and liver. The duration of such regimens often ranges from seven to 10 days.</font></p>
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Some people report they feel better, "lighter," and more focused and energetic during and after detox diets. This may be due to their belief that they are doing something good for their body. But it may also be due to not eating much &mdash; if anything &mdash; for more than several days. Calorie restriction can lead to heightened feelings of psychological well-being.</font></p>
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">However, there is no evidence that detox diets actually remove toxins from the body. Most toxins in the body are very efficiently and effectively removed by the kidneys and liver and excreted in urine and stool.</font></p>
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Early side effects of fasting include headaches. Prolonged fasting or severe calorie restriction can result in anemia, low blood sugar and irregular heartbeat. Before going on a fast or detox diet, talk to your doctor.</font></p>
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The best diet is one based on fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean sources of protein and unsaturated fats. Add regular exercise and stress reduction techniques, and you have a solid foundation for good health.</font></p>

To me, as well as many others, the word &quot;meditation&quot; conjures up the picture of a bearded man sitting cross-legged in front of an entrance to a cave or high on a mountain top. Climbing the mountain and reaching him is part of the arduous journey toward self-fulfillment, self-improvement. Once we find him we ask, &quot;What is the meaning of life?&quot; or &quot;How do we achieve peace in ourselves and our lives?&quot; This all-knowing man tells us the answers are &quot;inside ourselves&quot; and tells us to go and contemplate. I don't know if that answer was worth the journey!</font></p>

                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Meditation is very easy. I suggest you start with a breathing meditation. Sit with your eyes partially closed and turn your attention to your breathing. Breath naturally, preferably through the nostrils, without attempting to control your breath, and try to become aware of the sensation of the breath as it enters and leaves the nostrils. This sensation is your object of meditation. Concentrate on your breathing until everything else seems to fade way. Continue this for 20 minutes.</font></p>

                        <br>
                        So often I am asked which works better and building a better body; free weights or machines. Personally I use them both but I have found that f</font><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">ree weights provide a more complete workout. However, they also require more expertise in <img src="http://www.steviva.com/workingout.jpg" width="146" height="220" hspace="5" vspace="5" align="left">their use. When lifting free weights like barbells and dumbbells, not only is the prime mover or Agonist being worked but all the muscles responsible for stabilizing the joint. The result is to increase the strength of the stabilizer muscles. Greater care is required when using free weights. Improper technique can result in injury to the user or bystander if the weights are dropped.</font></p>
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">It is important to remember to enlist the aid of a spotter whenever free weights are raised over the head. A spotter's responsibility is to insure the safety of the user during the execution of the exercise. The spotter must observe the condition of the user and try to anticipate exhaustion. The spotter must also insure that balance and an even lift is executed, that proper breathing technique is adhered to and that proper form is being executed by the user. A spotter's strength is not as important as his or her vigilance.</font></p>
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Machines provide a safer workout than free weights. Machines also specifically target a particular muscle automatically. It's harder to cheat during an exercise by incorporating unintentional muscle groups. However, since lateral movement is generally restricted, machines do not provide as complete a workout.</font></p>
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">When lifting overhead with machines, a spotter is not necessary since the weights are confined to a rack and not directly overhead. Some machines are not adjustable for height or length of limbs on an individual basis. This can cause poor fit and even undue stress on joints when the supporting pressure incorrectly applied. The Biceps Curl and Triceps Concentration machines in many gyms are not adjustable and may cause undue stress on elbow joints instead of applying pressure to the back of the upper arm along the triceps.</font></p>
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">In summary, free weights provide the best workout when a spotter is available and proper lifting technique is executed. In contrast, machines provide a better workout than could be safely achieved using free weights when a spotter is not available.</font></p>
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">When you are working out don't forget to drink plenty of water! What I suggest is adding the juice of half a lemon or 4 tablespoons of unsweetened cranberry juice to 32 ounces of water with a sprinkle of <a href="http://www.steviva.com/cgi-bin/cp-app.pl?=&pg=prod&ref=steviv8ozbottle&cat=&catstr=">Steviva Brand Stevia Powder</a> . Aside from being less than 2 carbs, you will get the health benefits that the stevia provides along with the vitamin C and electrolytes that lemon have. You can substitute limes for lemons if you get bored. <a href="http://www.steviva.com/cgi-bin/cp-app.pl?=&pg=prod&ref=steviv8ozbottle&cat=&catstr=">Click here to order stevia powder</a>.</font></p>

                      Mix 1/8 tsp <font color="#000066"><a href="http://www.steviva.com/cgi-bin/cp-app.pl?=&pg=prod&ref=steviv8ozbottle&cat=&catstr=">Steviva Brand Stevia Powder</a></font> with 1 cup of apple sauce.                       <br><br />
                      Peal and cut your peaches into morsels. Add them to a bowl with the blueberries. Add approximately the juice of half a lemon, the cinnamon and &frac14; cup of the apple sauce <font color="#000066"><a href="http://www.steviva.com/cgi-bin/cp-app.pl?=&pg=prod&ref=steviv8ozbottle&cat=&catstr=">Steviva Brand Stevia Powder</a></font> mixture.

With your hands combine it all so that it makes a crumble topping.<br><br />
  Add your fruit to your pie plate (glass) and cover the fruit with the flour/oat topping. Make sure that all the fruit is well covered. Pop it in the oven at 350 for 40 minutes. Let it cool for a good half hour and then dig in. It is so simple but you will be going back to finish the dish. </font></p><br />
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Note: you can substitute the blueberries and peach for any other combination. In the fall apples are amazing in a crumble. Plums and nectarines are good. Mixed berries. Strawberry Rhubarb. </font></p><br />

                    </strong><em>keep your word and your word becomes the universe </em></font></h2>                  
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><img src="http://www.steviva.com/stevia-thom-king-steviva.jpg" width="150" height="155" hspace="10" vspace="5" align="left"> </font><font color="#000066" size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><em><font color="#000000">&quot;Honesty is the ability to match up our insides with our outsides. It allows what we don't care about to go away and what we really want to appear and develop in our lives.&quot;</font></em></font></p>
                    <p><font color="#000000" size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">This may sound corny but, the other day I was watching an episode of &quot;24&quot;, which is my favorite show incidentally. During the show Jack Bauer, the main character was negotiating with a suspect. The guy asked for his word. Jack replied &quot;how do you know I just won't put a bullet in you later&quot; and the suspect replied &quot;because I know the value of your word&quot;. As campy as this may seem it really made me think about keeping ones word and further more the extreme power of honesty.</font></p>
                    <p><font color="#000000" size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Getting honest and learning to live openly with ourselves and others is such a big part of spiritual growth, it becomes a general principle through constant application. Honesty and integrity tells us what to do in situations that may be turning points for us. By applying spiritual principles, like honesty, we automatically make ourselves as more trustworthy, a better friend and a reliable human being. Since like attracts like, we can be honest enough for it to become our normal thing to do: an acquired learning that becomes habitual. When this happens the world opens up to us.</font></p>
                    <p><font color="#000000" size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> As we come to realize that we are loved and respected for our honesty, we can come to other truths about ourselves. Dishonesty gives others power over us. Honesty allows us to increase our personal freedom. </font></p>
                    <p><font color="#000000" size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Honesty, as a principle, tells us to turn away from lies and falsehoods; to turn towards reality and get used to using the new power spiritual growth brings. If we honestly don't like our jobs, we change jobs. If we have amends we need to make, we become willing and make them. If we're not happy in our associations or relationships, we use the power of spiritual connection and find a way to become happy.</font></p>
                    <p><font color="#000000" size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Awareness in itself is not honesty, but it is a prerequisite. As we slowly become aware of our actions and feelings and their consequences, we need to be honest about our motivations. We can fool others, but we can't afford to fool ourselves. As we become more aware of our actions, we begin to realize that self-awareness is indeed the key to our personal growth. </font></p>
                    <p><font color="#000000" size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Abraham Lincoln was said to walk back several miles to a store when he noticed he had been given one penny too much in change. That was a sense of being honest and not taking what doesn't belong to you. When Lincoln returned the overpaid penny, he probably received thanks from the store owner but the real reward came in the sense of satisfaction he had in being honest. And the rest they say is &quot;history&quot;.</font></p>

                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Ask any woman what her biggest trouble spot is and she'll either mention her upper arms, lower stomach, or the entire hip-thigh-butt area. But it's really not our fault. Women are genetically programmed to store fat in these areas just like men get &quot;love handles.&quot; When you factor in the passage of time, you begin to notice that skin loses elasticity, which can make troublesome areas look, well, even more troublesome! This is a war of attrition; if you turn your back on the problem, it's only going to get worse. To combat creeping obesity, a woman needs to maintain an exercise routine that builds muscle and burns calories.</font></p>
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">We asked personal trainer Bob Shaw, owner of Physical Structure Personal Training in New York City, for some workout suggestions. If you need to lose 10 pounds or more, Bob recommends at least 45 minutes of intense aerobic training (running, walking, biking) four to five times a week, and strength training two to three times a week. You may also need to modify your diet, but make sure it's nutritionally sound - if you starve yourself you won't have enough energy to get through an ambitious workout schedule. Remember: the more muscle you pack on your frame, the faster your metabolism will be - and the slimmer you'll be - since muscle tissue burns increased calories even at rest.</font></p>
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">So never give up or give in to time - you can age gracefully! Just follow the link below and try this specially designed workout that targets the troublesome triceps, lower abdomen and the hip-thigh-butt areas. Add it to your exercise routine and you'll start to see results in just a few weeks.</font></p>
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Drinking iced tea or coffee may seem like a great way to quench your summertime thirst but these beverages may end up doing just the opposite. Both act as diuretics and can cause dehydration, especially if you've been perspiring. A better choice is a tall, frosty glass of lemonade or any fresh fruit juice poured over ice - you'll get extra vitamins too. What I suggest is adding the juice of half a lemon to 32 ounces of water with a sprinkle of <a href="http://www.steviva.com/cgi-bin/cp-app.pl?=&amp;pg=prod&amp;ref=steviv8ozbottle&amp;cat=&amp;catstr=">Steviva Brand Stevia Powder</a> . Aside from being less than 2 carbs, you will get the health benefits that the stevia provides along with the vitamin C and electrolytes that lemon have. You can substitute limes for lemons if you get bored. <a href="http://www.steviva.com/cgi-bin/cp-app.pl?=&amp;pg=prod&amp;ref=steviv8ozbottle&amp;cat=&amp;catstr=">Click here to order stevia powder</a>.</font></p>

                    </strong><em>nearly two thirds of the public question the safety </em></font></h2>

                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Although sales of sugar-free products have not declined, 64 percent of Americans claim to be concerned about artificial sweeteners' safety. More statistics have recently surfaced showing that the sugar substitutes raised health concerns. </font></p>
                    <p> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">"The uncertainty [of sweeteners' safety] is not stopping people from using sugar-free products," said Marcia Mogelonsky, senior analyst for Mintel, the firm that conducted the research.

                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">The sugar-free foods market in the United States has grown 24 percent since 1999, and was a $5.9 billion market in 2005. The majority of sugar-free food consumers are diabetics and people trying to lose weight. In 2002, 6 percent of the U.S. population was <a href="http://www.newstarget.com/diabetic.html">diabetic</a>, while 60 percent were overweight, which spells a huge potential growth in demand for low-calorie and sugar-free foods. </font></p>
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> However, the report also states that although sugar-free foods do not satiate the appetite as well, which can lead to increased consumptions of the foods containing potentially dangerous <a href="http://www.newstarget.com/artificial_sweeteners.html">artificial sweeteners</a>. </font></p>
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Mintel's report says there is a need for a genuinely safe sweetener, since it seems consumption of artificially sweetened foods will remain high, in spite of consumers' safety concerns. </font></p>
                    <p><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> To date, <a href="http://www.newstarget.com/the_FDA.html">the FDA</a> has refused to recognize <a href="http://www.steviva.com">stevia</a>, a natural herbal sweetener, as a safe ingredient in foods. Stevia is widely used throughout the world as a safe, zero-calorie sweetener. In the 1990's, the FDA ordered the destruction of history books and recipe books promoting the use of stevia. </font></p>

                    <p class="content"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Summer's here and that means bathing suit season is right around the corner. But even if you've been a little neglectful about your workouts, there's no need to panic about having to face the world nearly naked - you still have plenty of time to get in shape before you hit the beach.</font></p>
                    <p class="content"><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Most fitness experts agree that it takes four to six weeks to see results from any new exercise plan, so if you start today you'll have five weeks before the those lazy, hazy days officially start. Here are 10 things that can help you reach your beachy best.</font></p>
                    <ol class="content">
                      <li><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Lift weights and do aerobics.</b> Building muscle will raise your metabolism and tone and strengthen your body; cardiovascular exercise strengthens your heart and burns calories. Just do it. </font></li>
                      <li><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Visualize.</b> Every time you think of skipping a workout, picture yourself in a bathing suit - the way you look now and the way you know you can look. Now go workout. </font></li>
                      <li><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Cut down on fats.</b> Summer brings a bounty of juicy peaches, plums, berries and sun-ripened tomatoes plus a wide variety of crunchy, colorful vegetables that are low-calorie, nutrient-rich and loaded with fiber. Enjoy. </font></li>
                      <li><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Drink lots of water.</b> If you exercise for an hour a day you lose 20 percent more fluid than you would if you just sat still and it's even higher on hot, summer days. Dehydration can cause headaches, diarrhea, muscle cramps, and exhaustion, and water is the best (no-fat, no-calorie) way to hydrate. </font></li>
                      <li><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Exercise outdoors.</b> Research shows that being exposed to natural light can make you feel more energetic. Now that the weather is cooperating and the days are longer, go to a park or beach and run, walk, cycle, rollerblade or swim. The varied terrain will challenge your body in ways that indoor exercise machines can't. </font></li>
                      <li><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Steer clear of salty snacks.</b> They're usually packed with fat and often leave you feeling bloated, dehydrated and generally sluggish. </font></li>
                      <li><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Divide and conquer.</b> If you're very busy during the day and can't work out for a full hour at a time, break it up into two half-hour sessions. For example do a half hour of aerobic exercise at lunch and a half-hour of weight training after work or vice versa. </font></li>
                      <li><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Wear sunscreen.</b> Try to avoid exercising outdoors between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. when the sun is at its peak, but no matter when you choose to do an outdoor workout make sure you slather on the sunscreen. Choose one with an SPF (sun protection factor) of 15 to 30 and put it on at least 20 minutes before going out so it has time to penetrate your skin. </font></li>
                      <li><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Workout in water.</b> Take advantage of your visits to a pool, lake or the ocean by incorporating exercise into your leisure time. Tread water while chatting with friends, jump over ocean waves or walk laps in the pool. The added resistance of the pool water will give your legs a great workout and burn lots of calories. </font></li>
                      <li><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><b>Make lemonade.</b> Drinking iced tea or coffee may seem like a great way to quench your summertime thirst but these beverages may end up doing just the opposite. Both act as diuretics and can cause dehydration, especially if you've been perspiring. A better choice is a tall, frosty glass of lemonade or any fresh fruit juice poured over ice - you'll get extra vitamins too. What I suggest is adding the juice of half a lemon to 32 ounces of water with a sprinkle of <a href="http://www.steviva.com/cgi-bin/cp-app.pl?=&amp;pg=prod&amp;ref=steviv8ozbottle&amp;cat=&amp;catstr=">Steviva Brand Stevia Powder</a> . Aside from being less than 2 carbs, you will get the health benefits that the stevia provides along with the vitamin C and electrolytes that lemon have. You can substitute limes for lemons if you get bored. <a href="http://www.steviva.com/cgi-bin/cp-app.pl?=&amp;pg=prod&amp;ref=steviv8ozbottle&amp;cat=&amp;catstr=">Click here to order stevia powder</a>.</font></li>
