It has been a GREAT first year here at Campaign for Real Health! We want to celebrate our success by 
presenting our top five most read posts. Provocative, informative and fact-filled, there is something for everyone interested in learning about and achieving real health. We hope YOU have had a wonderful 2009 and that the blessings of health and wellness will be yours in 2010!
1. Fat 3.0: Healthy, Nutritious and Oh-So Satisfying! Once upon a time dietary fat was healthy and good people everywhere ate the good foods that nature provided and they loved. Then, government dictocrats labeled it unhealthy and an obesity epidemic ensued. But now …it is healthy again and there is a ton of science from all over the world to back it up! It’s time to start ENJOYING HEALTHY FAT AGAIN! If you have been waiting for good news about dietary fat you need wait no longer. Ode Magazine has published in the June/July 2009 issue the ultimate article, well researched, detailed and highly readeable packed with good news for those of you who love your fat! Of course if you know anything about Weston Price then this will be old news to you; but what’s exciting about this article is that it shows how the tide of opinion, both popular and scientific, has turned dramatically in favor of dietary fat.

2. Whole Foods Market: “We Sell A Bunch of Junk…” So says WFM boss John Mackey. “Basically, we used to think it was enough just to sell healthy food, but we know it is not enough. We sell all kinds of candy. We sell a bunch of junk.” But change is coming. We spend a lot of both time and money at Whole Foods and we readily concur with John Mackey that WFM does, indeed, sell a lot of junk. That’s not why we go. They have a plethora of good with the bad and this is what keeps us going back. But we have remarked on several occasions how it is necessary to shop carefully at WFM and NOT assume that just because they carry it, it must be any combination of, healthy, organic, whole, or nutrient dense. That’s the danger. Especially given the atmosphere which is typically woodsy and wholesome feeling. You walk in and immediately feel as though you are nutritionally “safe” as it were. Surely such a place as this, you want to think, wouldn’t sell anything that isn’t safe or good for me. Think again. READ THE REST OF THIS POST!
3. How To Choose Real Foods In a recent post, “Want Real Health? Real Food Is the Key”, we defined “real health” and made the connection between real health and real food. Today we offer you some specific guidelines on how to choose real foods, not fake foods. The guidelines offered herein are based on the findings of Weston Price. Weston Price was a dentist who traveled the world in the 1920’s and 30’s in search of the dietary practices of those native peoples with perfect teeth and mouth formations. He concluded that the health of the mouth is a window into the health of the rest of the body and that the key to good dental health is a real food diet. Though certain specifics of native diets differed one from the other, there were many common characteristics and it is those we are posting today. More information is available at http://www.westonaprice.org/. READ THE REST OF THIS POST!
4. Child Abuse? Or Vitamin D Deficiency Rickets? I am writing to ask your help……because I think my problem has something to do with Vitamin D. Six months ago, Marissa, who is now one-year-old, developed a painless bump on her arm. I watch her closely; I know she did not fall; she was only six months at the time. In the emergency room they found a broken bone in her arm and then x-rayed her entire body and found two more broken bones, but these other two places were not swollen and Marissa did not cry when the doctor pushed on the area. Well, a child abuse expert was called in and we were accused of abuse and they took our baby away, saying we had beaten her. I can’t forget Marissa screaming when they tore her out of my arms. We were shocked. We could never do such a thing. Even though they could not find any evidence of abuse except these broken bones, the DA tells me if I don’t plead guilty and testify against my husband and say he did it, I will be prosecuted as well and never see my baby again.

5. Real Food Friday Fun — “Whip It!” Cooking With Joy! In our refrigerator, you will find all kinds of wonderful raw dairy – Raw Milk, Raw Cheese, Raw Butter, and Raw Cream, which we get from a wonderful dairy called Organic Pastures (where happy cows roam freely on green pastures and eat nothing but the fresh organic grass). What you WON’T find in our house is any of the chemical-laden “whipped topping” you might see on countless menus and on the shelves of conventional supermarkets. When we want a tasty treat (without guilt and without putting bad stuff into our bodies), we make our own whipped cream, using only the freshest and best ingredients. And to top it all off, there’s NO actual sugar involved – we use Xylitol, so it’s safe for low glycemic diets (and for all of us that would rather not compromise our health with real sugar or manufactured artificial sweeteners). There are even some extra health bonuses to using Xylitol (click here for more info), but my favorite part is that the measurements and the taste are equivalent to sugar. READ THE REST OF THIS POST!
