Want to Shine in 2009? Take a Fun Exercise to Fulfill Your New Year’s Resolution

/

New Year’s is a unique holiday. It’s the only holiday that celebrates the passage of time.
Perhaps that’s why, as the final seconds of the year tick away, we tend to become introspective.
Then, we wonder: How did time slip away from us?
And why did all our hopes and dreams never materialize?
Inevitably, that introspection turns to thoughts of self-improvement and the annual ritual of making
New Year’s Resolutions.
We all do it.
We swear to ourselves, “This is THE year that I’ll transform my life and fulfill my goals.”
We are determined to keep all our promises to lose weight, kick sugar, stop smoking, make more mon*ey, take more time for ourselves, find the person of our dreams or get along better with our significant other, be more patient…just fill in the blanks.
Right now, millions of people from around the world are asking themselves questions as they figure out how to make 2009 the best year of their lives.
Here’s a fun, creative exercise for you to do.
First off, think about how to surpass your potential in the New Year.
Take a minute or two noow. I’ll wait right here.
Think about your fondest wishes. What are you dying to do at long last?
Now, fill in the blanks. (You don’t even have to tell anyone what they are, unless you want to.)
In 2009, I’m finally going to _________________________!

Kids & Money — How Staggering Sums Influence What They Eat, Drink & Do

/

Check out the staggering amounts of money that are spent to convince our nation’s innocent kids to spend money on foods, drinks and other products that could be quite harmful to them.
The Commercialization of Childhood Index*
$500,000,000,000: The amount of money in purchases that children under twelve influence every year.
$17,000,000,000: The amount of money spent to market to children, a staggering increase from $100 million in 1983.
$3,400,000,000: Revenue generated by the Disney Princess brand in 2006. There are 40,000 Disney Princess items on the market today.
1,200,000,000: Toys sold with kids’ meals at fast food restaurants in 2006.
20,000,000: Baby Einstein videos sold by Disney through 2006. The American Academy of Pediatrics reccomends no screen time for children under two.

High Fructose Corn Syrup Can Harm You, Like Sugar

/

I continue to be alarmed by the onslaught of so-called “information,” which suggests that high-fructose corn syrup is not responsible for obesity and that it’s not as bad as sugar.
In fact, I’m worried by the idea that “the tide of research, if not public opinion, has shifted,” as Elizabeth Weise suggests in a USA Today article, “New data: High-fructose corn syrup no worse than sugar.”
Get the truth, please, about the potential harms of high-fructose corn syrup, which you can learn from my two recent Gab With the Gurus Radio Shows — including this radio show, which featured several experts, and this radio show (listen to the last 15 minutes), which presented another well known expert, Dr. Richard Johnson, author of The Sugar Fix: The High Fructose Fallout That Is Making You Fat and Sick.
If you dig even a little bit into this subject, you’ll find that the average American does NOT consume moderate amounts of high-fructose corn syrup. If you’re eating or drinking prepared, processed or fast foods — which is what most Americans do — you’re taking in high amounts of the stuff. And all that HFCS can lead to numerous health problems, including heart disease, cancer, obesity and much more. (For that matter, too much sugar (or sucrose) is dangerous, too, as I reveal in my book SUGAR SHOCK!)
