Obama Family Chef Appointed To Health Food Czar

By: Bob Unruh
You’ve seen the reports about Van Jones, President Obama’s onetime “green jobs czar,” and Cass Sunstein, his equally volatile “regulatory czar,” and Fox News show host Glenn Beck has put together a list of dozens of such appointees.
Now here’s the newest White House promotion: “Health food czar” Sam Kass.
“In a comical move even for a czar-happy president who has rewarded dozens of cronies with distinguished titles, the White House has named the Obamas’ personal Chicago cook as ‘Senior Policy Adviser for Healthy Food Initiatives,’” reports the Washington government watchdog Judicial Watch.
“It’s no joke, even though it sounds like a bad one. The Chicago chef’s rapid ascension … has been kept under the radar for the last month,” Judicial Watch said.
“Sam Kass went from being a 20-something, Windy City gourmet cook – privately paid by the Obamas to feed them – to big-time White House adviser in a matter of months,” the report said.
How to fight socialism? The prescription is Joseph Farah’s “Taking America Back”
But it makes sense, the report said, since Michelle Obama has claimed that childhood obesity is a threat to “national security.”
According to an earlier CNSNews.com report, Michelle Obama confirmed – in talking about her White House campaign against obesity – that the condition “impacts national security” because it is a “disqualifier for military service.”
Judicial Watch said the situation is so dire, President Obama has been convinced to spend $400 million a year on “healthy foods” in low-income neighborhoods as well as revise – at a cost of $10 billion – a federal plan to provide food to poor children in school.
Such an assembly of programs “no doubt requires a trusted senior policy adviser – like Kass – who is an expert in healthy cuisine,” Judicial Watch said.
“Makes you wonder what Kass … has been putting in the Obamas’ food all these years,” the report said.
WND previously has reported on the health-care rationing czar, Don Berwick, and Internet czar Susan P. Crawford.
Also, homosexual activist Kevin Jennings was named Obama’s “safe schools” czar.
WND was the news agency that broke the first major story on Obama’s “green” jobs czar Jones.
Also, WND exposed Sunstein, Obama’s “regulatory czar,” as an advocate of a “Fairness Doctrine” for the Internet.
Science czar John Holdren also was exposed and the subject was highlighted in WND’s Top 10 stories of 2009.
The Obama appointeese also were featured in a Whistleblower magazine edition called “SHADOW GOVERNMENT.”
The magazine issue introduced people “like Equal Employment Opportunity Commissioner nominee Chai Feldblum, who endorses polygamy, and AIDS czar Jeffrey S. Crowley – both openly homosexual.”
“Then there’s Patrick Gaspard, officially the ‘director of the office of political affairs,’ but whom critics call ‘ACORN’s man in the White House.’ And defense policy adviser Rosa Brooks, a George-Soros-trained ideologue and anti-military radical who urged the prosecution of President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for ‘war crimes,’” the report said. “And FCC diversity czar Mark Lloyd, who believes the so-called ‘Fairness Doctrine’ – unanimously repealed by the FCC in 1987 – was never repealed, wants to destroy conservative talk radio, and described Marxist dictator Hugo Chavez’s rise to power in Venezuela as ‘an incredible revolution.’”

The Benefits of Coffee

By Dr. Julian Whitaker
Patients coming to the Whitaker Wellness Institute sometimes express surprise that we serve coffee. Doesn’t it increase the body’s acidity? Aren’t health-conscious people supposed to drink tea instead? Isn’t caffeine bad for you?
If coffee were harmful, then every morning emergency rooms around the world would be choked with people suffering the ill effects of our favorite breakfast beverage. Of course, this isn’t the case. Coffee is not harmful. On the contrary, I consider it to be a health food, and hundreds of studies bear this out.
From Protection Against Parkinson’s…
Research shows that drinking coffee reduces the risk of Parkinson’s disease by as much as 80 percent and protects against other neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s. It increases insulin sensitivity, and a high intake- at least six cups a day- lowers the risk of type 2 diabetes by 54 percent in men and 30 percent in women.
Coffee improves concentration and alertness, boosts mood, and decreases suicide risk. In fact, just the smell of coffee relieves stress in animals. This popular drink also controls asthma and can even halt a full-blown attack in its tracks. Additionally, coffee can stop migraine headaches, curb appetite, prevent tooth decay, and increase the effectiveness of aspirin and other analgesics (Anacin and Excedrin both contain caffeine). And if you drink it before working out, your endurance will improve and you’ll have less exercise-induced muscle pain.
…to Increased Longevity
Compared to people who avoid coffee, those who drink at least two cups a day are 80 percent less likely to develop cirrhosis of the liver (even if they drink a lot of alcohol), half as likely to have gallstones, and 25 percent less apt to get colon cancer. Coffee is also protective against cancer of the liver and kidneys, and although it’s long been suspected of increasing risk of breast cancer, a recent study spanning 22 years and involving nearly 86,000 women found a weak inverse association between the two in postmenopausal females.
Finally, coffee may even increase longevity. A large 2008 study found that drinking up to six cups of regular or decaffeinated coffee daily is associated with a slightly lower risk of death from heart disease, cancer, and other causes.
What Makes Coffee So Healthful?
So what is it in coffee that provides such remarkable benefits? First, that cup of java is a terrific source of protective antioxidants. Researchers evaluating both the antioxidant levels of various foods and drinks and the frequency with which those items are consumed have found that the average amount of coffee consumed by American adults per day- 1.64 cups- provides 1,299 mg of antioxidants. Tea, the second richest source, supplied only 294 mg, followed by antioxidant-rich (but sparingly eaten) fruits and vegetables, which provide fewer than 75 mg each of antioxidants per day. Believe it or not, coffee even contains fiber- nearly 2 g per cup.
But these aren’t the only components that make coffee a health food. Although some studies reveal that regular and decaffeinated coffee both have benefits, oft-maligned caffeine gives the drink much of its oomph. In addition to perking up the nervous system, caffeine increases the activity of the neurotransmitter dopamine and enhances delivery of nutrients and oxygen to the muscles and brain.
So, the next time you feel like a cup of Joe, indulge yourself. It’s a good way to boost your mood, your energy, and your overall health.

Orthorexia: Obsessing Over Health Food
September 9, 2009 by admin

ABC News
By John Stossel and Miguel Sancho
It’s no surprise that a lot of Americans watch what they eat. Counting calories, nutrients and fat grams is practically a national pastime.
But what happens when people go over the line, and the pursuit of healthy eating actually becomes unhealthy?
For Johnny Righini, a 26-year-old from California, eating a nutritious lunch is a painstaking ritual.
“Sometimes it takes days to prepare meals, because I have to sprout things, ferment things,” he said. “I am constantly thinking about what I am gonna have for my next meal.”
Charlotte Andersen, a 29-year-old Minnesota mother of three, says she went through the same thing.
“It really turned into a huge problem, and I think that there are a lot of other people out there that have this issue,” she said.
Food took over her life. She compulsively catalogued everything she ate.
“I was obsessed with things like macro-nutrient ratios, numbers, charts,” she said.
She realized she had a problem when she started paying more attention to food than to her own children.
A New Kind of Eating Disorder
What Righini and Andersen are struggling with is a kind of an obsessive compulsive disorder focused on health food called “orthorexia.” The term was coined by Dr. Steve Bratman, author of the book “Health Food Junkies.”
Bratman spent years in the health food movement, but became one of its critics after he realized he had started to become orthorexic.
“I suffered from a psychological obsession with food,” he said. “When I was involved with this, it took up way too much of my life experiences when there were other things I could have been doing.”
Orthorexia is different from anorexia, Bratman said.
“Anorexics seem to always think they’re fat,” he said, but “orthorexics know they’re thin, but they want to be pure.”
For people like Righini and Andersen, orthorexia is “a disease disguised as a virtue,” Bratman said, because society approves of health consciousness. Americans spend millions on diet books hawking things like macrobiotics, the Zone, the Blood-type diet. And dieting is OK, up to a point.
“But when it gets to the point where your health is overtaking your life, I think that’s when it gets to be a problem,” Andersen said.
Striving for Purity
Because they pursue purity in the food they eat, orthorexics are disgusted by processed food like macaroni and cheese. And Righini said even something as seemingly innocent as an apple could be toxic, because “if it’s not organic, probably what goes into the soil is going go into the food, and then it goes into you.”
With toxins lurking everywhere, orthorexics end up avoiding much of what most of us eat.
“I took out tropical fruits, because they were too high in sugar,” Andersen said. “I took out root vegetables, because they had too many carbohydrates.”
Andersen couldn’t eat at restaurants or friends’ homes, fearing she would be pressured to eat impure foods.
“I was afraid that if I got anything wrong I was going to get cancer,” she said. And plenty of diet gurus will tell you, Andersen was right to worry.
“You become what you consume. You consume dead food, and death accelerates its presence,” diet guru Viktoras Kulvinskas said.
Kulvinskas is a leading advocate of the “raw food” diet.
Raw foodists believe cooking vegetables even a little destroys their nutritional value. And eating meat is even worse, Kulvinskas said, because you eat the animal’s fear.
“When they go through slaughter, they go through a lot of fear, and that fear is taken into the dietary habits of America.”
Everyone knows that eating too much meat can be a problem. But does Kulvinskas even make sense? All over the world, as people have gotten wealthier, they are eating more cooked food, more meat and life spans keep increasing.
“That’s correct,” Kulvinskas said, adding that people are “sicker than ever. Living longer doesn’t mean quality of life. It only says that you’re living longer under medical intervention. These are not natural, whole people.”
Kulvinskas believes a raw food diet is the only way to be healthy, but according to Bratman, “a raw food diet is tricky. It’s easy to not get enough calories in a raw food diet.”
While raw foodists can be healthy if they rigorously follow the diet to get essential nutrients, “the theory itself doesn’t focus on those nutrients, usually. It focuses more on the spiritual qualities of the food.”
Of course, for some people, spending so much time thinking about health food is no worse than other fanatical obsessions, like hording or compulsive shopping. But orthorexia can really hurt people.
A Family’s Heartbreak
“I began to hear stories of people who took this to such an extent that they harmed themselves, physically,” Bratman says.
One of the people Bratman heard from was Kate Finn, a former gymnast from Rhode Island. Finn developed orthorexia after she moved to California and began trying diets like raw foodism.
“She was so absorbed with cleansing her body of toxins … that was her lifelong goal,” said Erin Finn, Kate’s sister.
In the quest for purity, Finn eliminated more and more from her diet. Her appearance deteriorated. “The beautiful, vibrant Kate had really become someone that looked much older. People would stare,” Erin Finn said.
Finn wasn’t anorexic. Erin Finn said her sister knew she was underweight, but she insisted on eating only foods she considered “pure.”
Like Charlotte Anderson, Kate Finn kept a diary documenting her desperate descent. One entry reads, “What do I do to gain weight? I’m afraid, confused.”
Finally, Finn agreed to let her family take her to a hospital.
“Our niece went to pick her up,” her sister said, “and found her.”
But it was too late. She was discovered dead, at age 37. As Finn’s family read through her diary, they learned that she had been listening to several health food gurus. Among the experts: Viktoras Kulvinskas.
Kulvinskas’s appearance in Finn’s diary doesn’t surprise him.
“I’m in the diary of so many people who overcome cancer, asthma and diabetes,” he said. “My compassion reaches out to her that she took the path. Well, at least she got detoxified and clean, and moved on into another incarnation.”
Living With Orthorexia
Kulvinskas says orthorexics are emotionally unstable people to begin with, people like Johnny Righini and Charlotte Andersen, who have prior histories with other eating disorders. He says they take sound dietary teachings and twist them to unhealthy extremes.
“Last time I weighed myself I was about 78 pounds,” Righini said. “I am 26 years old, and I was told my bones are equivalent to someone 85 years old. That’s pretty depressing.”
But Righini remains locked in the grip of his orthorexic eating.
“Why would I want to stop? Why would I want to eat that stuff and kill myself even faster?” he said. “That’s what my orthorexic mind says. How can I stop?”
With psychotherapy, Charlotte Andersen was able to stop. Now she says her obsession with pure food was destroying her health.
“I was trying so hard to control how I was going to die, and in the end nobody gets to pick how they die,” she said. “We only get to pick how we live, and I wasn’t living.”
