Dee at Age 13

I was getting chubby and felt uncomfortable in my body. Notice how I'm holding my arms in front of my belly to hide it.

Dee at Age 23

What should have been a cool day at the beach was clouded by the unhappiness in my life. I was working in a dead-end job and my social life was non-existent. I eventually reached a top weight of 210 pounds.

Processed Foods

While studying chemistry at San Jose State University, I discovered a link between obesity and processed foods. There are many studies that have shown that refined carbohydrates and food additives are major contributors to obesity and degenerative diseases. In 1992, I eliminated refined carbohydrates from my life and began to lose weight quickly.

48 Pounds Lighter

After I eliminated refined carbohydrates from my diet, the weight just fell off. After 3 ½ months, I was 48 pounds lighter. At 162 pounds, I felt light and happy.

100 Pounds Lighter

This is the day I graduated from college and one year after staying away from refined carbohydrates. I lost an amazing 102 pounds and have maintained this weight for now 18 years.

Hot Dogs and Brain Tumors in Children
Hot dogs are on almost every child's list of favorite foods. Second ranking would probably be bologna and pepperoni sausage. Many kids also eat deli lunchmeats on a fairly regular basis. But could these American staple foods be killing our children? In 1995, a petition was brought before the commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requesting the FDA to require a cancer risk warning on packages of hot dogs that contain preservatives called nitrites. The grounds for this petition were alarming: scientific information on excess ris... Read More
