Make New Zealand Healthy Again (maybe say “Monzha”)

MNZHA is based on MAHA in the US and part of the moderation process is to comment on MAHA postings. Other posts are based on what I have found out that helps with weight and diabetes issues.

Allulose

Website: Allulose Sweetener Products

This is to tell ye that Allulose and Monk fruit sweetener, seems like a good natural option. It has about 10 percent of the calories of sugar and can be substituted with an equal quantity. I am told of a church bakery, that has recipes that use this successfully. Allulose occurs naturally in small quantities, in many types of fruit.

I have heard that stevia has a metallic taste in cooking and of course birch sugar is poisonous to pets. Splenda/sucralose is completely unnatural and is made via chemical chlorination processes of sugar. If it is not naturally consumed, then there is no benefit from the test of time, that may have already occurred.

We do still need confirmation that Allulose is safe to eat in larger quantities, but its safety profile is already quite good and known.

I hope to convince the government to push an idea like this, for use in baked goods. That could solve a huge amount of the obesity and diabetes problems. It could potentially give a marketing healthy-food edge in baked goods, to those with foresight to take an opportunity.

With greater uptake, the price should come down to a more reasonable level.

Website: Practical Implications for dental health

For Parents
Children are most vulnerable to cavities. Replacing sugar with allulose in children’s foods and drinks eliminates one of the biggest dietary contributors to childhood dental problems. This includes:
* Sweetened beverages
* Candy and sweets
* Baked goods
* Sweetened breakfast cereals

For Adults
Adults aren’t immune to cavities, especially around existing fillings and at the gumline (where gums may have receded with age). Every time you choose allulose over sugar, you’re avoiding an acid attack on your teeth.

Resistant Starch

Resistant starch is a type of carbohydrate that resists digestion in the small intestine and ferments in the large intestine, feeding beneficial gut bacteria. It is found in foods like whole grains, legumes, and certain starchy foods that have been cooked and cooled.

Resistant starch can be found in various foods, including:
• Whole grains (e.g., oats, barley)
• Legumes (e.g., beans, lentils)
• Unripe bananas and plantains
• Cooked and cooled starchy foods (e.g., potatoes, rice, pasta)

To maximize resistant starch intake, consider cooking and then cooling these foods before consumption.

The level of resistant starch can be increased by adding potato starch to preheated foods such as baked beans or mashed potato. Too much heating can reduce that amount of resistant starch.

Possibilities exist to improve digestion of starchy foods and to reduce GI or the tendency to increase or spike blood sugar levels.
• Refrigerate mashed potato and gently warm it, at a later date.
• Add lentils, butter or EV olive oil to rewarmed mashed potatoes.
• Use wholegrain bread that has been stored in the freezer. Doing this could make burgers healthier.
• Possibly, potato fries could be precooked and refrigerated. Reheating should not be too fierce. This process would need to be optimised to maintain, taste and texture.

It would be useful to have a simple assay to measure digestible (in small intestine) starch content of food, that can be carried out at home or at least in a bakery or fast food store. A sample could be taken off the serving plate. This could be used to estimate the likely GI.

This type of approach could help prevent obesity and diabetes across the population.

Another point to note is that resistant starch tends to be less likely to cause tooth decay, as compared to readily digestible starch and sugars.

Sugar free jam takes a wrong turn

Non sugar sweetened jam is typically made using Splenda. That is a bad choice and we need alternatives based on natural, safer sweeteners.

My own experience with resistant starch

For the four to six weeks before my last blood test for Hba1c (average blood sugar), I had been including resistant starch in my diet, rather than only high protein and some fat. This included mashed potato that had been refrigerated overnight and two slices of frozen Ploughman’s bread, toasted for breakfast or supper. I also had rice pudding sweetened with an Allulose and Monk fruit combo called “Sweet as Sugar“. This was refrigerated overnight, before eating and was only warmed up gently by microwave. My Hba1c result was that I was in the normal (non-diabetic) range for the first time in about 10 years. I had been prediabetic for about 5 years and then progressed to diabetic. Last year I got a good result, but had not quite got down to the normal level. That was after having been on a low carbohydrate diet and avoiding bread and potatoes. At these earlier times, I never would have guessed that there was a healthy way to eat these foods.

Sucralose is the same thing as Splenda

Many people are unpleasantly surprised when they find out that sweetener E955 (Sucralose) is the same thing as Splenda. These are chlorinated sucrose, which is extremely foreign to mammalian biochemistry. “Studies suggest that sucralose may be linked to an increased risk of mortality, particularly due to its association with conditions like Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.”

I was surprised to find this out, when I noticed that sucralose was a common sweetener in SodaStream drinks and did some further investigation. Only three of the flavours that I was using did not have this “Frankengredient”.

With friends like Fauci – who needs enemies?

I heard some responsible media comments on Fauci’s funding of Gain of Function research. Because of this he has blood on his hands (millions of people), but he was also responsible for second rate treatment options, while knowing that better options were available, along with bad recommendations regarding young people and pregnant women.

Contempt of Congress is only one small aspect of Fauci’s illicit activities. He forced deadly mRNA shots on millions through illegal mandates – despite failure to prevent transmission and failure to prevent severe infection -, suppressed life-saving treatments such as ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, promoted lethal hospital protocols involving remdesivir and ventilators, imposed country-destroying lockdowns that devastated millions, oversaw the destruction of federal records, and funded gain-of-function experiments that contributed to the pandemic… before working to cover it up with the CIA. (Nicolas Hulscher, petermcculloughmd@substack.com)

So what deaths did Fauci help cause? His gain of function research is likely to have contributed to the lab leak – millions of Covid deaths, banned life-saving treatments in order to get “Emergency Use Authorisation” for the pseudo mRNA shots – many Covid deaths could have been prevented (The American Association of Physicians and Surgeons – AAPS – were overruled by Fauci in this matter), refused to address temporal signals related to the vaccines: there was a huge spike in VAERS reports at the time of Covid vaccine introduction and many injuries and deaths occurred soon after individual vaccinations. These temporal signals should have been investigated properly and they still should be. Data from NZ and parts of AU may be useful to understand the effect of vaccination, without the presence of disease in the community.

What were his reckless decisions?

• Decided to keep children out of school, even though there is little risk to them from Covid. Unbelievable.
• Regarding gain of function research, decided the benefits outweigh the harms. Unbelievable.
• Decided to ban the effective AAPS treatments, in order to get Emergency Use Authorisation. Unbelievable.
• Decided not to properly investigate the effective AAPS treatments, in order to validate them.
• Decided to impose a novel genetic therapy, where early indications were that there were large temporal signals of harm.
• Decided not to investigate these temporal signals of harm.
• Decided to impose harmful hospital treatments. Some health professionals quip that Remdesivir rhymes with “run, death is near”.
• Decided to promote the shots for pregnant women, even though he had expressed reservations with valid reasons to a colleague. There was also a lack of data that proved it was safe to do so.

Comment to NZ health and research leaders.
NZ has a role to play in unraveling the story of the pseudo-mRNA genetic therapy shots. Many doctors, who believe in the infallibility of vaccination treatments, demand that VAERS events be interpreted as effects of widespread Covid-19 infection, rather than as being due to vaccination. NZ was one of the few places where vaccination started, before there was widespread Covid infection and as such our data can help to resolve this debate. It is our responsibility to contribute in this matter. There needs to an investigation into Barry Young’s evidence that the mRNA shots caused excess deaths in NZ, even though caution is needed to avoid other more tenuous and sensationalized conclusions related to him. We need to provide this type of data and evidence to HHS in the US.

Fertility consideration
A further key point is that it cannot be argued by analogy with traditional vaccines that pseudo-mRNA shots are safe in terms of maintaining fertility. The reason for this is that these shots are genetic therapies, which traditional vaccines are not. Genetic therapies are not usually applied to entire populations, rather they are used to treat the terminally ill or those with rare genetic disorders. On this basis, it can be argued that Fauci had inadequate evidence to properly deem pseudo mRNA shots safe in terms of fertility, as these relevant experimental data did not exist for any treatments that could be compared to these shots. “Vaccine” trials were also inadequate in this regard. One of the violated specifications of the pseudo-mRNA shots is that they do not remain local at the injection site, but rather spread around the entire body and this includes the gonads, in many cases. There are a number of potential mechanisms of harm that could occur as a result of this and these needed to have been properly ruled out before widespread release, but the necessary experiments did not occur. Put simply: in the absence of valid analogy with previous long term use of related treatments, no valid relevant long term fertility safety data exist for the pseudo-mRNA shots.
