Did You Know...
... that 2 tablespoons of grape seed oil a day helps lower LDL cholesterol?
Europeans have been using grapes, as well as their sap and leaves, to treat a variety of health conditions for 1000s of years. Grapes grabbed the attention of the West in 1991, when CBS's "60 Minutes" reported on "The French Paradox." How in the world are the French able to eat a high fat diet made up of cheese, chocolate and wine, and still have such low rates of cardiovascular disease? Some experts believe the answer to the riddle lies in the French people's high consumption of red wine, known to contain heart-healthy antioxidants, such as resveratrol. And where does red wine come from? Grapes!
You can get the same cardiovascular protection from just 2 tablespoons of grape seed oil a day.
Grape Seed Oil's Slow Rise to Fame
 Grape seed oil isn't quite as well known as its more popular counterparts, olive and canola oil. The oversight is certainly not due to lack of merit, as many experts believe grape seed oil to be the healthiest oil of them all. Perhaps it is not as popular because grape seed oil is more difficult and expensive to extract than the oil of other seeds and nuts. Even so, grape seed oil won't break the bank and makes for a wonderful all-purpose cooking oil used for baking, frying and sautéing. It has a higher smoke point than olive oil, which makes it ideal for cooking. Its light, neutral taste doesn't compete with food's natural flavors and is a delicious addition to salad dressings.
Grape seed oil becomes even tastier when you add all its health-enhancing properties to the mix. Studies indicate that grape seed oil and grape seed extract heal a variety of health issues, including heart disease.
An Antioxidant Powerhouse
Grape seed oil is rich in antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, and beta-carotene. Antioxidants are important because they defend against free radical damage, which leads to premature aging and chronic conditions such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes and arthritis. Of particular interest to researchers is a highly potent group of chemicals in grapes known as oligomeric proanthocyanidin complexes (OPCs). Research suggests that it may be the powerful antioxidant properties of OPCs that render grape seed oil such a heart-healthy option. One study found that healthy subjects who took grape seed extract (made from the ground-up seeds of red wine grapes) daily showed increased levels of antioxidants in the blood. Dr. Ralph Feder, author of "The Bonus Years Diet," explains that when you cook with grape seed oil you can raise your HDL (healthy cholesterol levels) by as much as 13% and lower your LDL (unhealthy cholesterol levels) by as much as 7%.
Lower Your Cholesterol the Safe and Natural Way
 If you suffer from high cholesterol, then you probably take a statin drug, which unfortunately comes with many harmful side effects. Grape seed oil delivers the same benefits, without the unwanted side effects. In addition to a rich supply of antioxidants, grape seed oil contains linoleic acid, an omega-6 essential fatty acid that makes up 76% of the fatty acid in grape seed oil. With superior anti-inflammatory properties, linoleic acid is the only essential fatty acid proven to raise HDL levels and lower LDL cholesterol levels.
High levels of LDL cholesterol threaten your heart because when LDL cholesterol oxidizes, it sticks to your arteries. This plague buildup manifests as arthrosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), a primary cause of heart attack and stroke. Linoleic acid protects LDL cholesterol from oxidation, thereby helping your arteries stay clean so that your blood flows freely to your heart. Studies have shown that when taken as a pure extract, grape seed oil can reduce LDL cholesterol oxidation by as much as 90%!
Another promising study analyzed the effects of grape seed extract, chromium, a combination of grape seed extract and chromium, or a placebo on the cholesterol levels of 40 volunteers with high cholesterol. Results showed that a combination of grape seed extract and chromium proved most effective.
Another study, made up of 24 healthy male smokers 50 years or older, found that subjects who consumed grape seed extract twice a day for 4 weeks had substantially lower LDL cholesterol levels.

The Gluten Shocker:
Escape the Epidemic that Silently
Threatens Your Health
If you're suffering from fatigue, irritated skin, digestive upsets such as bloating and gas, occassional sleepless nights, joint discomfort, blood sugar imbalance, or weight gain ... the culprit may very well be a single protein molecule attacking you from within your own body.
 Gluten intolerance or sensitivity is far more common than most people think, and its destructive symptoms are even more difficult to identify. Given this, many doctors simply suggest cutting out wheat and dairy to see if you feel better. The problem with this approach is that gluten and other food culprits are pervasive throughout the Standard American Diet (SAD). Thus, cutting out wheat and dairy may bring no relief even if these foods are severely undermining your health. This is why digestive disorders go undiagnosed for years, unleashing much larger problems down the road, such as muscle and joint discomfort, heart disease, and much more.
But recently, scientists made a breakthrough discovery. They identified a dietary invader proven to cause countless gastric concerns. Pinpointing the cause led quickly to the address—a completely natural remedy that captures this digestive invader and knocks it out—with no harmful side effects. After just a few shorts weeks of therapy, most people experienced outstanding benefits against...
 Digestive problems, bloating, gas, and everyday discomfort
Food sensitivities—from gluten and grains to nuts and dairy
Blood sugar imbalance
Irritated skin
Inexplicable weight gain and cravings
Low energy, especially after eating
Everyday joint discomfort and muscle stiffness
Compromised immune function
Blood pressure and heart health
Mystery Exposed
The root cause of these persistent health problems is a single molecule present in nearly every food we eat. Ironically, this molecule was once thought totally harmless! It was even used medicinally as a blood coagulant. But now science has confirmed a surprising link between this molecule and major digestive trouble.
The molecule is called lectin.
"The term 'lectin' was introduced in 1954 by scientists William C. Boyd and Elizabeth Shapleigh," says John A. Casey, M.D., C.C.N. "Researchers have shown that some lectins are blood type specific... However, very few of us made the connection between using lectins in the lab to agglutinate blood and going home to have them for dinner."
 Lectins are found in fruits, vegetables, seafood, grains, beans, and seeds. Gluten is a huge source of lectin—which means lectin is jam-packed into foods such as breads, cereals, and many other processed foods. Other major lectin sources are corn, milk, soy, and peanuts.
It's no wonder allergies, digestive chaos, and chronic diseases are skyrocketing! The American diet is almost completely dependent on gluten and corn-based processed foods, all loaded with lectin. Referring to celiac disease, one expert gastroenterologist at Mayo Clinic told the New York Times, "It's not just that we're better at finding it. It truly has become more common."
The problem is lectin!
Setting off a Cascade of Trouble Within
Lectins start trouble as they enter our intestinal tract. That's because these molecules attach themselves to the sugars found naturally in healthy cells. It works like this: Most cells have membranes that contain carbohydrates. And as food passes through our digestive system, lectins latch onto cells that line our intestines and colon.
 Unfortunately, once latched on, lectins disrupt and damage cells. In response to the damage, your immune system kicks in, sending white blood cells rushing in to deal with the problem. In other words, lectins attack your body ... and your body attacks back. These attacks can lead to cell destruction which cause your immune system to become overloaded and not work as efficiently as it could.
A cascade of problems is now unleashed throughout your entire digestive system, spreading out to your skin, muscles, joints, and even your heart.
A Simple Disguise can Trick a Complex Invader
To solve the problem of lectin—which is found in almost every food you eat—researchers tried a simple experiment. What if the lectin could be diverted by a flood of "decoy sugars?" Could the "decoy sugars" get between lectin and the body's own cells?
The answer was yes, and the secret is "sacrificial" sugars. When a supplement containing a combination of 5 "sacrificial sugars" is taken with meals, lectin is disabled. Instead of attacking your intestine and colon walls, the lectin hitches a ride on the sacrificial sugars and passes harmlessly through your body.
For patients, the effect of these sacrificial sugars was almost immediate. With just a few doses incorporated into meals, lectin was vastly eliminated from the digestive tract.
Break the Lectin Fat Signal
Sacrificial sugars can also break lectin's ability to stimulate fat cell production. That's right, unfortunately, lectin also makes you fat. According to a report in the peer-reviewed journal Neuropeptides, lectin from wheat, corn, peas, potatoes, and lentils binds to insulin hormone receptors, and triggers them to stimulate fat production. That's why so many of us with gastric problems also suffer from inexplicable cravings and sudden weight gain. It's paradoxical but true: by introducing these 5 decoy sugars, you can break the weight gain signal right at its source.

Flush out Lectins and Even Neutralize Nasty Gluten
Since gluten is also a lectin, the sacrificial sugars that flush out lectin also protect you from "hidden gluten" in processed foods, sauces, medicines, and even cosmetics. Protecting yourself from the lectin-soaked American diet comes with long-term health benefits, because eliminating lectin helps to ...
 Promote weight loss through improved metabolism and energy
Restore proper water balance in your body
Soothe those occasionally achy joints, muscles and organs
Repair your digestive tract and keep it healthy
Facilitate healthy detoxification in your liver and gut
A "Lectin Force Field" Between You and Lectins Everywhere
You could try to follow a diet that severely limits your intake of lectins. But lectins are everywhere—not just in foods, but in the environment, too. Since lectins are prevalent in the plant world, you can be exposed to them just by walking on the grass... inhaling pollen in the air... or spending time in your garden. Lectins even lurk in medicines... cosmetics... vitamins... and nutritional supplements.
 But you don't have to live in a bubble to stay away from lectins. Scientific research shows you can create a virtual lectin force field to help protect your gut. Since 70% of your immune system is located in your gut, this lectin force field can enhance your total immune health, long-term. Renowned integrative physician Dr. Michael Cutler—with 18 years of experience in chronic degenerative diseases, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue—says the discovery of lectin protection deserves nothing short of a Nobel Prize! Get the details on this natural breakthrough here, so you can protect yourself and your family from the molecule that attacks from within.
