They know that supplements have their place in health and fitness. But they also know – and preach – that eating whole foods is the center piece of your nutrition plan.

And to prove it they just came out with this awesome little ebook called “197 Healthy And Delicious Phat Burning Recipes” that will make your life a whole lot easier.

The best part? It’s only $4.95 because they think – and so do I – that it’s just too important for you not to get your hands on.

Look, I know most people think eating healthy means bland and boring meals. That is absolutely, positively FALSE.

Get a copy of Prograde’s “197 Healthy And Delicious Phat Burning Recipes” and taste for yourself.

The world’s largest sports medicine and exercise science organization today expressed its support for proposed safety legislation in the dietary supplement industry.

The American College of Sports Medicine – a professional society with more than 35,000 members and certified individuals – is a partner of the United States Anti-Doping Agency, the entity leading the charge for “Supplement Safety Now.” USADA held a press conference today with Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who proposed new legislation on supplements.

The creation, and subsequent introduction, of the man-made “poison” called Aspartame is one of the greatest downfalls of mankind over the last 50 years! That is quite a bold statement but it’s true.

I wanted to share this “whistle blower” information with you because it is a subject that has negatively impacted many people I know. Aspartame is deadly and highly political and you’re about to find out why…

I was walking through the grocery store the other day, and as I strolled through the cereal isle, I noticed a couple different boxes of “sugar cereals” that had claims on them about being healthy for kids.

This is quite shocking and I’m not even sure how this is legal!

One example of these ludicrous (in one newsletter last year I misspelled this word as “ludacris” and got all sorts of comments about rappers…too funny!) — anyway, one of these ludicrous cereal boxes claimed this on it’s label:

“Improves your kids immune system”

I won’t mention the exact brand and type, but this was one of those sugar cereals with about 8 different bright artificial colors. The main ingredient was SUGAR!  and then refined corn or wheat, which is no better for you than sugar.

How can it be legal for these slimy cereal companies to make health claims about it being “good for kids immune system”?!?  This is insane.

Are they trying to say that a product that is 70% refined sugar and artificial colors, with some added hydrogenated oils is good for kids immune systems!

There appears to be a loophole in that if they simply add some antioxidant vitamins such as vitamin C and E to the sugar cereal, they can somehow claim that it is “good for kids immune systems”.

I don’t know how they get away with it, but it seems sleezy to me.

However, I’m willing to bet that the label claims on many foods cause you confusion about what’s really healthy and what’s not… types of foods that have been more cleverly marketed as health foods over the years like “whole grain” bread, skim milk, soy foods, low-cal frozen dinners, and others.

Don’t fall for it!

Whether you follow a raw food diet or not, you may want to start.

Here are 3 reasons why…
