SlimSweet is recommended by the Slimming Institute
of California. They say:
"SlimSweet is the sweetener we recommend on the
program. It is used in our morning smoothies, and it is an optional ingredient
in several of our recipes. (And, yes, some of our slimmers even sneak it into
the cranberry juice-water mixture.) SlimSweet does not affect blood sugar or
raise fat-promoting insulin levels. And it does not feed yeast. It supports the
good bacteria in the gut, ultimately helping with total cleansing and liver
support."
Our national hunger for sweet
things has led to an average annual intake many times higher than our actual
physical needs. There are consequences.
Sucrose (common table sugar) is
one of the most dangerous and addictive high-glycaemic sugars and it has been
associated with:
increased insulin levels
diabetes
hypoglycaemia
the promotion of fat storage
candida overgrowth (yeast)
tooth decay, even in infants
general
inflammation
poor immunity (increased
susceptibility to infections)
sugar and carbohydrate cravings
depression
Artificial alternatives to natural sugar, often
praised as low or zero-calorie, can also be surprisingly high on the Glycaemic
Index and lead to similar conditions resulting from high insulin levels.
SlimSweet is an extract derived from an extremely
low-glycaemic relative of the kiwi fruit that grows in southern China, and which
has been in use there as a folk medicine for thousands of years.
But because SlimSweet is derived from fruit it
does not make it the same as fructose. While normal fructose products are low-glycaemic,
they do contain calories. Importantly, they can often promote weight gain
through the stimulation of Lipoprotein Lipase (LPL). This is one of the key
enzymes in the promotion of fat storage in the body. LPL breaks down oils and
fats so that they can be released into the system as free fatty acids which are
deposited in the fat cells. Fat storage is, of course, a health hazard.
Rio Health SlimSweet is for most people the taste
they love: no aftertaste, no bitterness, no acidity. It is presented as granules
of a pale golden colour and, because it is concentrated, it is economical to
use. Each tub of 80g gives up to 160 servings.

Herbs
For thousands of years, herbs have been used to help maintain many aspects of
health and wellness. Today, research and technology are bringing herbalism into
the modern age – with improved extraction, standardization, and farming
methods. Clinical studies are beginning to validate herbal therapies, so even
some in the medical community are starting to accept them.
Many of today’s
medicines were originally derived from botanicals. Aspirin once came from the
white willow tree, quinine from the bark of the cinchona tree, and digitalis
from foxglove. Herbs are still the basis for Chinese medicine and are important
constituents of many European natural remedies. As Hippocrates said, “Let they
food by thy medicine, thy medicine be thy food”.
Some of the herbs
available on this site are wild-crafted – grown in the wild – while others
are meticulously cultivated on herb farms.
