    Coca-Cola just launched a new Zero Sugar flavour in Australia—and it’s nothing like you’ve tasted before!

    I don't blame people for believing about conspiracy theories, particularly in our current climate of ingenuine information, and profits by industry and 'big pharma'. However, there are many credible studies on this topic which shows a correlation of chemical sweeteners and natural sugars as...

    Coca-Cola just launched a new Zero Sugar flavour in Australia—and it’s nothing like you’ve tasted before!

    Yes, I think people should avoid sugar of all sorts for a whole host of reasons, however, what most do not understand is that artificial sweeteners are just as bad for our health long term. They have the same effect on our insulin spikes. It's called the 'cephalic phase' insulin release. In...

    Coca-Cola just launched a new Zero Sugar flavour in Australia—and it’s nothing like you’ve tasted before!

    Given the way it promotes its daily messages, It would appear that SDC seems to be on the marketing team with all the major retailers.

    Supermarket Secrets Exposed: Uncover the Hidden Locations of the Most Affordable Items

    Yes, that would be great Anna, but I bet any response will not include things like Dextrose, High Fructose Corn Syrup, vegetable oils (which are really seed oils), chemical sweeteners, and a variety of other preservatives. Although they are deemed as legal products, they are unsafe for our...

    Keto gummies are a scam and do not work. The Keto way of eating however, does! This story is a typical example of the misinformation and the roller-coaster ride of quick fixes and gimmicks that unscrupulous people promote. This story has a quick message for everyone who reads it and that is...

    Big savings at Woolworths: Over 450 price drops are about to happen! Will your favourite product get cheaper?

    I just wish that SDC would stop advertising this information as if they owned the company and were trying to entice sales. The amount of needless sales guff that goes with each advertisement by SDC leads me to believe that they are trying to sell items on behalf of the retailer and doing so...

    Chicken Tray Bake with Plums, Lemon, and Thyme

    I don't think you have understood my point. If you wanted to see what my purpose was, then I've tried to explain it succinctly in my response to 'Nana Zorak'. Oh, and by the way you would be surprised to see what people eat in one sitting or every day!

    Chicken Tray Bake with Plums, Lemon, and Thyme

    Hello, I don't think you have quite understood the purpose of my post and critique. What you ate many years ago and what is being eaten now are two entirely different things. There were no trans fats, vegetable oils, highly processed foods and no chemicals as such. All foods were whole foods...

    Chicken Tray Bake with Plums, Lemon, and Thyme

    In the main, this recipe is quite good in terms of the nutritional value of the ingredients. However, the plums and brown sugar should be removed. They are too high in fructose and sucrose. Replace them with another ingredient(s) which have a very low carb count and no sugar instead. There...

    Reevaluating Retirement: Should 70 be the New Standard Age for Pensions?

    Hello PeeBo, this is very true and of course it will change again. This is the reason why my initial post was about people directing their energies towards looking after their health many years before they retire and create some health reserve for themselves. Of course, we are sorry for those...

    Reevaluating Retirement: Should 70 be the New Standard Age for Pensions?
