A scientific study has found that, though for the most part herbal supplements seem harmless, some of the more popular products pose a very special risk. This particular supplement interacts with and reduces the effectiveness of the drug saquinavir. The only thing to do for the moment is to avoid taking herbal supplements if you are being treated with saquinavir.

Herbal supplements are meant to boost our immune system, provide more ready energy, and improve general health. Though scientists say that research that is more extensive is required to determine which herbal supplements can have an adverse effect on our body, or, can interact with other medications and reduce their effectiveness, they remain united in their stand that several of the so-called harmless supplements can prove very harmful.

Some of the more popular herbal supplements are chondroitin, ephedra, Echinacea, and glucosamine. Chondroitin is typically used in the treatment of osteoarthritis. One side effect of chondroitin can be bleeding complications. This is more like when used in combination with a regular prescription drug that causes blood thinning.

Ephedra used to be a big favorite among people looking for a fat loss supplement. Ephedra promotes weight loss, provides energy boosts, and can also be used to treat respiratory tract problems like asthma and bronchitis. Recently, the FDA banned Ephedra because of dangerous side effects like high blood pressure, increased heart rate, false increase in metabolism, all which could lead to a cardiac arrest, heart arrhythmia, stroke, and might even be fatal in some
cases.

Echinacea helps in the prevention and treatment of viral, bacterial,and fungal infections. It also helps in curing chronic wounds, ulcers, and arthritis. On the other hand it can cause immunosuppression that will cause the body to lose its self-healing capacity so wounds will not heal on their own. Immunosuppression also reduces the effectiveness of the immune system making infection easier.

Glucosamine is very often administered along with chondroitin. It contains chemicals that mimic the function of insulin and can cause the body to misbehave when this artificial insulin enters the blood stream. It can be especially bad for diabetics.

Other herbals supplements suspected of adverse side effects include gingko biloba, goldenseal, milk thistle, ginseng, kava, and garlic. It is highly advisable to seek the consultation of your doctor before taking any supplements,herbal or otherwise. More than informing you about potential health risks the doctor can give valuable advice about food, nutrition,and supplements.

The Nutrients your body really need are being removed from your Whole Grain Foods.The Nutritients that I’m talking about are the lipid and sterol content.Your cells need these important lipids and sterols to function properly and work efficiently.

This is why so many breakfast cereals, breads,pasta, cookies, crackers, and snack foods suddenly have whole-grain claims on their labels.Because whole-grain foods should be the foundation of a healthy diet, the USDA campaign is attempting to increase every American’s daily intake of whole grains—but the sad reality is that less than 10% of the population meet the minimum suggested intake of three servings per day.

Why the need for whole-grains?
Because they provide a multitude of nutrients, ranging from the common to the unique. Sure, whole grains contain some carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals, but their unique role in the diet isn’t specifically to provide those components. And while whole-grain products also contain fiber—something all adults need to increase in their diets—that’s still not what makes whole grains so special.

What really differentiates whole grains from other foods is their lipid and sterol content.Lipids are the fats found in whole-grains, and sterols are unique nutrients found in grains.Your cells need these important lipids and sterols to function properly and work efficiently.

A deficiency in whole-grain lipids and sterols means that your cells will be deficient in the nutrients they need to work at their optimal levels of efficiency.

The downside of the food industry’s campaign is that it leads one to believe that one whole- grain product is as good as the next, while in reality, in order to provide a more shelf-stable product, these critical lipids and sterols are almost always removed from the whole grains in question.

What is also removed is the nutritional value that comes from the entire whole grain. You may be receiving more nutrients from these whole-grain products than from bleached and/or heavily processed flours, but the nutrients your cells need—lipids and sterols—are still missing from packaged whole-grain foods.

How Whole Is Your Grain?
Did you know that wheat in its unprocessed form is nearly 10% fat (lipids & sterols)
by weight? When looking at the label of a “whole-grain” food, don’t be surprised to find up to 90% of the natural lipids and sterols have been removed during processing—even though the food can legally be called “whole grain.”
