This is interesting as I was scouring the web for dog food and I came to Andrew Lewis’ website. He said his lively and healthy dog died. As if it wasn’t bad enough, he disclosed that it was he that had inadvertently poisoned and killed his 4-year old dog with commercial dog food.

In his website, he had this to disclose:

Leading dog-health author, Ann N. Martin, sums up the state of commercial dog food in a single sentence..

“Most commercial pet foods are garbage”

World-famous vet and dog-care author Alfred Plechner, says the poor nutritional properties of commercial dog food inevitably lead to disease..

“Because many commercial foods are woefully deficient in key nutrients, the long term effect of feeding such foods makes the dog hypersensitive to its environment. . . .

It’s a dinosaur effect. [Dogs] are being programmed for disaster, for extinction.

Many of them are biochemical cripples with defective adrenal glands unable to manufacture adequate cortisol, a hormone vital for health and resistance to disease.”

Men that look no further than their outsides, think health an appurtenance unto life, and quarrel with their constitutions for being sick; but I that have examined the parts of man, and know upon what tender filaments that fabric hangs, do wonder that we are not always so; and considering the thousand doors that lead to death, do thank my God that we can die but once.

~Thomas Browne

We live longer than our forefathers; but we suffer more from a thousand artificial anxieties and cares. They fatigued only the muscles, we exhaust the finer strength of the nerves. ~Edward George Bulwer-Lytton

Study shows that energy drink raises blood pressure and heart rate and may post a problem for those with heart problems.

Dr James Kalus and his team of Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit found that healthy adults that drink 2 cans of energy drinks will have an increase in blood pressure and heart rate. While this is insignificant for healthy adults, it will be hazardous for those with  heart problems. That’s because energy drinks contain caffeine, taurine, sugars, vitamins, and other nutritional supplements.

The researcher also said consumption of energy drinks should not be confused with sport dirnks, which aim to replenish carbohydrates and electrolytes that a body needs.
