Over the past decade, there has been an unprecedented push toward and environmentally responsible and healthy approach to consumption. Far from being a hobby horse for a few cranky individuals and organizations, this movement has gathered converts from all walks of life and from all areas of science and medicine. The result has been the biggest revolution in farming, manufacturing, and

For most of us, the word organic means food. Organic food production has finally hit the mainstream. With the twenty-first-century emphasis on health and well-being, it could not have come at a better time. As long ago as the 1960's, experts were expressing concern about what was going onto and into our food during its production. In 1962, for example, Rachel Carson's groundbreaking book

All over the world-in every rain forest and in every desert-exists a myriad of exotic fruits, berries, whole grains, plants, and herbs that have been found to have powerful, life-saving properties. Most of the fruits and berries are astoundingly high in antioxidants and offer a broad range of health benefits, including protection from free radical damage, which has been associated with a number of chronic disease, suppressed immune function, and accelerated aging.

Many of these fruits also help maintain strong immune and cardiovascular system, while the whole grains and plants provide crucial gastro-intestinal support.

And lets no forget about the herbs. used medicinally for longer than the United States has been a country, many of these herbs provide stress relief...not a small task, considering that the Journal of American Medical Association attributes more than 75% of all disease to stress, including heart disease, cancer, allergies, asthma, digestive disorders, and sleeplessness.

But with the thousands of different berries, fruits, plants, and herbs grown all over the planet, how do you know which ones provide the greatest health benefits?

Fortunately this part of the puzzle has already been solved for you. Researchers agree that of all the of the foods available all over the globe, 21 stand out as true powerhouses. And they can all be found in one amazing juice blend. CIAGA

In an unprecedented move, the American Medical Association (AMA) voted on June 13th, 2006, to call on the U.S. government to require salt warning labels on food products and to cut salt content in manufactured foods by 50 percent within a decade.

They also are asking the Food and Drug Administration to revoke slats's status as safe, noting the overwhelming medical evidence that high slat intake dramatically increase risk of heart disease (the nations leading cause of death), hypertension and stroke. Foods now requiring warning labels include everything from conventional hot dogs to canned soup.

Americans eat almost twice the amount of salt they should, which contributes to high blood pressure and heart problems, the AMA says. The American Heart Association recommends limiting sodium intake to less than 2,300 milligrams daily, or less than one teaspoon, but the average daily consumption among American adults is nearly double that amount.

The Food Products Association, a trade group for the food and beverage manufacturing industry, and one of the most powerful lobbying groups in Washington D.C., said the new policy is misguided, claiming there is not enough scientific evidence tying salt to negative health effects.
