Natural Nutrition

I always use the 100% Pure Maple Syrup cuz I’ve heard it’s alot healthier than the other "stuff" (meaning the syrup that lists Corn Syrup and High Frusctose Corn Syrup as their first ingredients), but know I’m not so sure after I compared the nutrition facts from the labels on the back. Here’s what I found:
1/4 cup serving of the 100% Pure All Natural Maple Syrup has 210 calories and so does the artificial stuff
Total Fat on both is 0 g
Trans Fat on both is 0 g
Total Carbs 53 g on both
Now get this!! Sugars is 50 g on the All Natural Pure Maple Syrup and only 27 g on the Artificial (weird that the 100% Pure stuff has more)
I was shocked when I read this:
The All Natural Pure Maple Syrup has 5 mg Sodium and the Artificial Syrup has 170 mg Sodium per serving!!! Whoa!!!
I guess that’s what makes the All Natural Pure Maple Syrup a better choice. But what I don’t understand is, why does the 100% Pure All Natural Maple Syrup have more sugars per serving than the Artificial stuff?

Your point illustrates exactly why those nutritional labels aren’t the full story. The sugars in the natural maple syrup aren’t the same as the sugars in the artificial.

In general, you should always chose foods that have the fewest ingredients and have been minimally processed.

In case you didn’t know, High Fructose Corn Syrup is chemically derived from GMO corn. You should avoid it like the plague.

I would like you to recommend the best natural weight loss pill for women please

Hi Brian,

Acai is one of the hottest products in the health and nutrition industry. The ads promise amazing health benefits from the Acai fruit such as; weight loss, anti-aging, cancer prevention, a boost of energy, and mood improvement. If true this would make Acai an amazing fruit…but is it too good to be true?

Being a long time Acai user I can emphatically say "YES!" Acai juice has made a dramatic difference in my life. It’s the first thing I have to drink every morning and it gives me enough energy to accomplish all of my goals each day.

I used to be a huge Redbull drinker, but always hated the inevitable crash I would get just a few hours after drinking one. When you drink Acai berry juice you get that same boost of energy without the caffeine crash.

The Acai berry was first presented to Oprah Winfrey and her millions of viewers by Dr. Nicolas Perricone. During an episode of Oprah’s show, she asked Dr. Perricone to discuss his top ten superfoods. The number one superfood on his list was MonaVie, a blend of 19 different fruit juices created by Monarch Health Sciences. The main ingredient of MonaVie is, as one might expect, the Acai berry.

It’s a fruit that grows in the Amazon. Because the fresh berries lose much of their nutritional benefits very quickly after being picked, distribution of fresh Acai is limited. However, the juice and other extracts keeps its potency longer.

There are many benefits of Acai Berries. They can increase mental acuity, speed up metabolism, clean toxins out of the body, help with weight loss, and more. By helping move food through the body more quickly, the Acai berry prevents the build up of fat, thus resulting in a loss of between 8 and 25 pounds a month.

One of the unique things about the Acai berry is that it can take the place of several foods. The berry has about the same amount of protein as an egg, is similar to olive oil in its make up of fatty acids, contains over 30 times the amount of anthocyanins found in red wine, and is very high in fiber.

Oprah’s endorsement of the Acai berry made women (and some men) around the world take notice of this tiny little fruit. Oprah saw what Dr. Perricone and many other dietary specialists saw: the Acai berry isn’t just another weight loss product. It can help with so much more that it only makes sense for people around the world to take an Acai berry product.

If you really want to build a rock hard, muscular body, you need to train hard. It is not easy to build lean muscle and burn fat at the same time, but you can do it. Train hard, eat right and get adequate rest and you can achieve that ripped, rock hard muscle look you desire. To help with this endeavor, I have a new supplement that can help you achieve your goal of a lean, hard, ripped, muscular and strong body . My new supplement is called Testo-Burn . It is a unique blend of quality ingredients that will do two very important things for you. Testo-Burn boosts natural testosterone production AND boosts your metabolism AT THE SAME TIME! Talk about two important factors in one product! When you boost your testosterone production and you speed up your metabolism at the same time, guess what happens? You build lean, hard, ripped and strong muscles FAST! Testo-Burn boosts natural testosterone production. Higher natural testosterone production is a good thing and it will definitely help you build lean muscle. Having higher testosterone levels improves recovery, increases energy and increases protein synthesis. Also, when you take Testo-Burn you will stay in a positive nitrogen balance longer. All of these powerful attributes produced by taking Testo-Burn will definitely help you build lean, hard muscle FAST! Testo-Burn also increases your metabolic rate. This means you can consume and utilize the calories you intake at a higher rate. This will help you get lean and ripped as you convert your fat stores into muscle and increase your lean body mass. When these two important factors for lean muscle growth (testosterone boost and metabolic boost) are combined — the results can be tremendous! This is how you build a really lean, hard muscular body — when you build muscle and strength while you are lowering body fat. This is cool stuff! I am really pumped up about this supplement, as I am currently talking Testo-Burn, and I am really loving the results. Supplement Facts

Because I bought some natural smoothie stuff and it is really delicious, but I just realized there is an outrageous amount of 27g of sugar in each glass!! I looked at the ingredients, but there is no high fructos corn syrup or even sugar, it is just like strawberry purree, natural flavors, and I would have been able to pronounce the ingredients when I was 7, all simple words and no weird chemicals.

So does this mean it is all natural sugar? Should I still be concerened with all this sugar?

Natural sugars found in fruit are part of the total carbohydrate count and listed as a sub-category – sugar. Look on the ingredient label again for anything ending in OSE. That would be SUGAR! It’s hard to believe there isn’t any added sugar in any kind of smoothie.

Here’s a list of sugars…

Brown sugar
Cane syrup
Corn sweetener
Corn syrup
Corn syrup solids
Dextrose
Fructose
Fruit juice concentrate
Galactose
Glucose
High-fructose corn syrup
Honey
Invert sugar
Lactose
Malt
Maltose
Malt syrup
Maple syrup
Molasses
Raw sugar
Rice syrup
Sucrose

The amount of sugars you choose to consume is of course up to you. If you’re not overweight and don’t have a family history of diabetes you don’t have to cut out all sugar. Just choose wisely and don’t go overboard.

I happen to avoid ALL sugar (except in low sugar fruits/vegetables) because I’m a low-carber.

You can read more information on the various kinds of sugars at the site below….

Ummm, a bong party?

We are proud to introduce a new, high quality sports nutrition supplement into the House Of Muscle sports supplement line. The House Where Muscle Is Built now carries a new, highly potent version of the natural testosterone booster, Tribulus Terrestris. The most exciting aspect of the House Of Muscle version of Tribulus Terrestris is that it is manufactured under the highest quality control standards, which results in an extremely potent extract of the Tribulus Terrestris herb that is standardized for 40% saponins and protodioscin. Those of you in the know about Tribulus Terrestris realize why this aspect of our product is so important, and we will get into more detail later as to why it is so important that we created a 40% saponins and protodioscin standardized extract version of Tribulus Terrestris , for now realize that our version is the highest quality and most potent version of Tribulus Terrestris you can possibly buy on the market today. For years, supplement scientists have toiled in their labs trying to find more and more compounds that naturally augment testosterone production, and this effort has only increased since the prohormone ban. Recently, these scientists have discovered that one of the most effective testosterone boosting herbal formulations comes from the extracts of the plant Tribulus Terrestris. Most of you are aware of the positive aspects a natural boost in testosterone will have on your efforts to build lean, hard muscle and strength. Higher levels of testosterone has numerous performance enhancing benefits, including improving recovery, increasing energy, boosting protein synthesis (your ability to consume and utilize higher amounts of protein), improving nitrogen balance, and increasing workout intensity, to name a few. So, it should be obvious, that finding a way to naturally boost testosterone levels, in a way that does not produce negative side effects, will prove to be very valuable to your goal of building muscle and strength.
