You can see the reason why you probably developed gout in the first place. It all started
while you were a toddler, eating the garbage that you and your parents were marketed
to. It’ s all about the money folks! Like pharmaceutical companies, a food company’s
primary goal is to make as much money and profit as possible. I strongly recommend
that you watch the 2008 documentary film directed by Emmy Award winning filmmaker
Robert Kenner Food, Inc. The film examines corporate farming in the United States,
concluding that agribusiness produces food that is unhealthy, in a way that is
environmentally harmful and abusive of both animals and employees. It’s a real eye
opener on the industry as a whole and its profit-driven practices. Just look at all the
news stories from the past few years about the tainted meat scandals causing numerous

Let’s face it, government health recommendations and regulations relating to diet and
health have failed miserably. Leading a common sense, healthy lifestyle is your best bet
to produce a healthy body and mind, and increase your longevity. Unfortunately, the
pharmaceutical industry, the food industry, and even government itself sure won't make
it easy for you to avoid the garbage that ruins your health. While spending twice as

health care. This is disease management, and it comes at a very steep price, namely your
longevity.
Until or unless the US government takes industry to task, our regulators and legislators
cannot be trusted to usher Americans toward better health. In the meantime, it is up to
you to take control of your health, and do what is right for you, to live a healthier,
longer, drug- and disease-free life. Proper nutrition, exercise, and avoidance of toxins
are three critical factors to address in this process, and this e-book contains many
helpful tips and information to help you do just that.
By buying organic, you will dramatically reduce your exposure to pesticides, hormones
and antibiotics, as those are used on nearly all GE crops. When shopping locally, know
your local farmers. Many are too small to afford official certification, but many still
adhere to organic, sustainable practices. The only way to determine how your food is
