The Dangers Of Chewing Gum

Just been researching a lot on chewing gum and i came accross this very interesting article.

Originally, chewing gum was made from tree sap but today’s commercial brands are loaded with harmful ingredients and chemicals.

The modern day chewing gums are made of four major ingredients including synthetic rubber, plastic, sugar, and coloring (dye). Modern day gums are produced from synthetic polymers such as styrene-butadiene rubbers and polyvinyl acetate. The final product is composed of 60% sugar, 20% corn syrup, and only 20% actual gum material.

If you’re chewing gum you are chewing rubber and plastic. Chewing gum is known as a harmless cultural tradition but it contains many properties that may be hazardous to our health.

I'm No Superwoman!

I've been up, i've been down. I've been high, i've been low. I've been around, been through it all. But most of all, i went through it and came out of it. Tired, beaten down and blue; but standing tall!

D-Day!

This is the day that the Lord has made and i'll rejoice and be glad in it!

After so much procrastination, i finally decided that i'm going to get back on my diet and i'm on it. Below is my weight as of now and i'm not happy about it at all!

General Motors Weight Loss Diet in Detail

I've personally done this program and it works! If you're looking to lose weight fast, get toned muscles and detoxify, this is the best diet for you. I recommend that you try it today, don't waste no time. Your body will thank you for it.

The following diet and health program was developed for employees and dependents of General Motors, Inc. and is intended for their exclusive use. This program was developed in conjunction with a grant from U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration. It was field tested at the Johns Hopkins Research Centre and was approved for distribution by the Board of Directors, General Motors Corp. at a general meeting on August 15, 1985. General Motors Corp. wholly endorses this program and is making it available to all employees and families. This program will be available at all General Motors Food Service Facilities. It is management's intention to facilitate a wellness and fitness program for everyone.

Spicy Rice Recipe

Since i started the General Motors Weight Loss Diet, i've been learning new recipes everyday.

Below is a recipe for spicy rice which i've just learnt to prepare. Quite nice if cooked properly.

Banana & Milk: Bad, Bad, Bad!

Yesterday was day 4 of the General Motors Weight-Loss Diet and we are supposed to drink 3 glasses of milk and have up to 8 bananas. I did have those and i've never felt so uncomfortable in my life. I was bloated the whole day, had trouble sitting up straight and was farting all day and all through the night.
