PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS
TITANIUM DIOXIDE
- Nano-particles are very bad for you
- ANY sunscreen with TiO2 should not be applied to skin
- Use sunscreen with Zinc Oxide instead
- Titanium Dioxide is still found in ‘natural’ sunscreen, so still be careful
- Any vitamin with this in it should not be ingested: lack of TiO2 is part of what makes PVC vitamins so great
WHOLE FOODS
- Vinnie only shops at Whole Foods for a specific coffee
- Serena went to the ready made food section– every single pre-pepared dish had sugar in it
- They at least try to be clear about where there products are from, etc etc
- Vinnie believes Whole Foods is just an expensive scam although Anna quite likes them
JUICE ON A PLANE
- Flight attendant would let every passenger know that if they ordered juice, they were just drinking juice
- He was overly judgmental about it, but the sentiment is there
- Coke is bad too, but a different kind of bad
- Less sugar content but due to chemicals it’s still horrible for your liver
- People are too easily offended
VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY
- People spend too much time inside, in front of computers
- Rickets is actually appearing again
- Vitamin D is found in juice, but it doesn’t compensate for the amount of sugar in these drinks
- (PVC can help with vitamin d deficiency)
WHY VINNIE HASN’T HAD LUNCH
- Vinnie hasn’t had time to have lunch today due to clients, vermin, etc.
- He ate on this day: (8am) Coffee, 2 whole eggs, table spoon of coconut oil
- Diets high in fat can hold you longer
- Not great to end the day with a giant meal
BODY IMAGE
- Fear for women in high fat foods due to the media
- Serena who is so skinny occasionally calls herself fat; bad for the next generation
- When you hear it enough, you start to believe it
- Beauty pageants promote starving oneself, low fat diets, etc.
- Double edge sword: you need to lose weight to get healthier, but you’re also okay how you are
- Fine line between accepting oneself and accepting being fat
- Some models are too thin that they look like they’re dying
- Tweet us: how does the media affect your body image?
