The Best Sweetener for Your Blood Sugar (HINT: It’s Not Stevia!)

You know, I’ve made it my life’s mission to help people with blood sugar problems. I want to do that for as many lives as I can.

But sometimes, it can be downright hard. After all... what’s the first thing I tell people they have to quit?
Sugar! Sweet, sweet sugar.

The wonderful, delectable zest in your coffee and tea. The zing from a good, hard candy. The melt-in-your-mouth goodness of chocolates.

And up until now, there weren’t a lot of options to satisfy that sweet craving.

Would You Prefer Poison Or A Bitter Aftertaste?

If you wanted a low-cal alternative to tabletop sugar, you really have two choices.

You can use “fake sugars” like aspartame, sucralose and saccharine.

But if you’ve been following my work for any time now, you may already know these “diet sugars” are linked to causing many (and I mean a LOT of) diseases including cancer, heart disease and... ironically, diabetes.

Heck, Aspartame was once a military-grade biochemical weapon for Pete’s sake!

On the other side of the spectrum...
You may have heard of the Stevia plant from South America. It’s 45X sweeter than tabletop sugar in its natural state... and, of course, it’s 100% organic.

Unfortunately, that comes with a “side effect” too!
If you’ve ever tried Truvia, Purevia or any leading stevia brand -- you know there’s a distinct bitter aftertaste. And worst, it lasts for hours after the sweetness is gone.

You would think someone, somewhere would’ve figured out how to get rid of this.
I thought so too. So I recently went into the Healthy Kitchen lab and tried every single Stevia brand in existence. The Results Were Disappointing... I started this project with high hopes.

But after week after week of grimacing, sticking my tongue out and making funny faces at the office...
(That bitter aftertaste really lasts long...)

Frankly, I was about to give up!
That’s when I did a bit more research into the stevia plant. And I discovered the sneaky reason for its bitterness.

You see, the stevia plant has two parts to it: rebaudioside and stevioside.
While both compounds produce the bitter aftertaste, rebaudioside contains the least -- and is barely detectable.

Stevioside, on the other hand, produces a much more bitter taste.

But here’s the catch...
It’s hard work just extracting the good stuff (rebaudioside) from the stevia plant.
To save money (and increase profits), big brand companies simply use the entire plant... And everyone ends up making funny “bitter aftertaste faces” instead. That’s when I went on a mission to create my own brand of sweetener... without the bitter stevioside. Fortunately, I didn’t have to. At the eleventh hour, a friend told me about “Slimtevia”.

Here’s what I love about Slimetiva...
It’s 3X Sweeter And 19% Cheaper

Slimtevia is three times sweeter than sugar (so you use less of it)...

But it’s also more healthful... and can fight weight loss and diabetes.

What’s more...

For a product that only uses the sweetest, most expensive part of the Stevia plant... Slimtevia actually costs 19% cheaper than leading Stevia brands, ounce for ounce!

But you won’t find Slimtevia in your local supermarkets (not yet anyway) -- even the all-natural stores.

The only way to get it is directly through us (which keeps the price low, as there are no distributors involved).

And to prove to you how much I believe in Slimtevia (I’ve been using it for the last few months now)...
I’m going to offer you...
The Slimtevia “Taste-Test” Guarantee

I promise you -- Slimtevia tastes and acts exactly like sugar. And I’m going to make it 100% risk free for you with a simple “taste test”.

Here’s how it’ll work...
When you get Slimtevia in the mail, I want you to get out two small teacups. Then ask someone in your family to put some Slimtevia in one cup, and table sugar in another. (Without you looking)!

Turn around and sample the two cups. If you can taste a difference... ask for a 100% refund! It’s as simple as that. In fact, I’ll even pay the return postage! 

The Search For A Diabetes-Safe “Sugar” Is Over

I know how hard sugar cravings are.

Even when you’ve “been good” for a while, and you’ve “cleaned it out of your system”...

The temptation to have something sweet persists.

Slimtevia will let you do that without taking on any of the risks sugar comes with.

Soursop Fruit – Natural Cancer Killer

Every other day we hear someone close to us suffering from the lethal disease called, Cancer. Though many medicines have been introduced so far, the disease is still responsible for many deaths worldwide. Almost 20,000 people die of cancer everyday across the globe, out of which 70% of deaths are caused in underdeveloped countries, according to World Health Organization.

Chemotherapy is one of the most widely used treatments for curing cancer. It effectively destroys the cancer cells and inhibits their growth. Unfortunately, Chemotherapy comes with several side effects such as hair loss, anemia, nausea and vomiting. Chemo helps destroy the cancer cells but meanwhile it also damages the healthy cells of the body.

What we have to offer you today is a fruit that may help you fight cancer without any adverse reactions. The fruit is called “Soursop” or “Graviola tree fruit”. Some preliminary findings have helped researchers to conclude that the fruit is a natural cure for cancer (especially colon cancer) and it is, “10,000 times stronger than chemo”. One of the studies conducted by Cancer Centre, published in the “Journal of Medicinal Chemistry”, in 1997, says that compounds found in soursop proved to treat breast cancer 250 times more effectively than chemo.

Soursop is a fruit of an evergreen flowering tree known as Annona Muricata and commonly found in the tropical areas of Cuba, Mexico, Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Uganda, Somalia and the Caribbean. The fruit belongs to the family of Pawpaw.

The fruit is called by other names as well such as graviola (Brazilian Portuguese), guanábana (Spanish), anona (European Portuguese), corossol (French), Brazilian pawpaw and in some cultures it is also known as Thorny Mango.

It is a spiny green colored fruit which is white from the inside. It tastes like a combination of pineapple and strawberry with an underlying creamy flavor of banana or coconut. The fruit is commonly used in making exotic drinks and sherbets.

You can find tremendous amount of valuable nutrients in it such as carbohydrates, proteins, vitamin A, B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, iron, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and zinc.

The fruit is beneficial for curing fungal and bacterial infections, stress, depression, nervous disorders, blood pressure and sleeping disorders. According to a study published in the Journal of Dietary Supplement in 2008, graviola extracts are effective in the treatment of parasitic and microbial agents.

Researchers claim that the fruit can bring a revolution in the field of medicine, especially for treating cancer. Following are some of the claims made by researchers about this miraculous fruit:

• It can naturally treat cancer by destroying the cancer cells, without any side effects such as nausea, vomiting, hair loss and weight loss
• During the treatment it does not cause any harm to your immune system, it rather boosts your immunity and protects you from deadly infections
• It provides you with extra strength to fight with the disease and you may feel healthier during the course of treatment
• It also keeps away from depression that most of the cancer patients develop during the treatment

The graviola tree extracts have been tested in almost 20 laboratories by America’s largest drug manufacturers, since 1970s and has proven to be beneficial in the following ways:

• It effectively targets and destroys malignant cells in almost 12 types of cancer such as breast, lung, pancreas, prostate and colon
• The commonly used drug that helps combat cancer, as a part of chemotherapy is Adriamycin. The Annona muricata tree contains compounds that have 10,000 times more strength to combat cancer than Adriamycin
• Unlike chemotherapy the graviola extracts only targets the cancer cells and destroys them. It does not do any damage to the healthy cells.

Now you must be wondering that why the properties of this amazing cancer fighting fruit has been hidden until now? Though extensive researches have been undertaken regarding this fruit, it has still not been publicized. Some proponents say that there is a huge conspiracy regarding the findings about soursop. The reason this natural remedy is being kept away from the public eye is because soursop has the potential to be substituted for chemo. If it happens, it will lower down the profits of the pharmaceutical companies producing synthetic cancer drugs. 

The fruit is beneficial but still there are some side-effects associated with the consumption of this fruit. There are high levels if annonacin found in this fruit that may cause Parkinson’s disease if consumed in large quantities. This finding has been published in the journal, “Movement Disorders”, in the year 2002.In some cases it may even prove harmful for the body’s cells by stopping it from producing ATP (ATP is also known as Adenosine triphosphate and it is responsible for transferring chemical energy within the cells).

You may find soursop in grocery stores or health food stores. The graviola extracts are found in the form of herbal medicine sold under the brand name Triamazon, according to Cancer Research UK.

This makes sense .. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain...

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.
It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion.

Once this'sludge'reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine.

Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

A serious note about heart attacks:

· Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting,
· Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.
· You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack.
· Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.
· 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up.
· Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive...
