Could Germs Be Making You Fat?

REUTERS on Friday, 5th March, 2010, published some eye-opening findings! Maybe, I should say gut-wrenching findings since they actually relate to the HUMAN GUT!

According to REUTERS, researchers reported on Thursday that germs that make their home in the gut may help cause obesity and a range of health-threatening symptoms that go along with it.

It could be that certain bacteria cause inflammation that can affect appetite as well as inflammatory bowel conditions, like Crohn's disease and colitis, the researchers reported in the journal Science.

In other words, the germs make you overeat, Andrew Gewirtz of Emory University in Atlanta and colleagues reported.

"Previous research has suggested that bacteria can influence how well energy is absorbed from food, but these findings demonstrate that intestinal bacteria can actually influence appetite," Gewirtz said.

"The obesity epidemic is driven by people eating too much, but why are people eating more?"

Gewirtz said the research suggests that bacteria may play a role - perhaps a population of bacteria that thrive because other, competing organisms have been wiped out by antibiotics, access to clean water and other factors of modern life.

As if to confirm this, Ed Yong says that "The obesity epidemic is a massive concern for the 21st century. New research shows that the bacteria that live inside our digestive systems could have a large impact on our risk of being obese."

Gerwitz's team stumbled on the findings by accident.

"We were studying mice that had colitis," Gewirtz said in a telephone interview.

The team suspected some kind of germ was responsible, so they transferred mouse embryos into surrogate mothers to prevent them from being infected by their own mothers.

Babies are colonized by bacteria and other micro-organisms soon after birth and the makeup of these colonies - which persist for life in the skin and bowels - are very similar to those of the mother.

The colitis was better but the baby mice became obese and developed metabolic syndrome - a cluster of symptoms that include unhealthy cholesterol levels, too much fat around the midsection, high blood pressure and insulin resistance.

Insulin resistance means the body does not use insulin effectively to break down food and Gewirtz believes this may be the key.

NUTRITION, the KEY to ENERGY!!! Say Bon Appétit with MONAVIE...Where the "BON" Stands for "Bottle Of Nutrition"

"The doctor of the future will no longer treat the human frame with drugs, but rather will cure and prevent disease with nutrition." ~ Thomas Edison

"Don’t eat anything your great-great grandmother wouldn't recognize as food. There are a great many food-like items in the supermarket your ancestors wouldn't recognize as food (Go-Gurt? Breakfast-cereal bars? Nondairy creamer?); stay away from these." ~ Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore's Dilemma

"Virtually no one in the field of health and nutrition speaks about the concept of food having energy, but if you stop and think about it, it intuitively makes sense. Vegetables have a lighter energy than proteins. Animal meat from tortured animals has a different energy than meat from animals that lived a peaceful existence." ~ Joshua Rosenthal, founder/director of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition

 "Don't DIG your GRAVE with your own KNIFE and FORK!" ~ English Proverb

"If the DOCTORS of TODAY do not become the NUTRITIONISTS of TOMORROW, then the NUTRITIONISTS of TODAY will become the DOCTORS of tomorrow." ~ Rockefeller Institute of Medicine research



An article by Ken Adachi titled "Nutrition, the Key to Energy" had the following to say:

The value of proper nutrition cannot be emphasized enough. Your body's health is directly related to what you put into it. Modern supermarket food is devitalized due to contaminants and processing. Organic, fresh, raw foods possess forms of energy not currently understood by orthodox science. Some of these esoteric energies can be measured and detected, however. There is an instrument available today, the Vohl Dermatron, that can measure the "vital force" of food. A simpler method (but no less accurate) is to use a dowsing pendulum to determine this vital force on a scale of 1-10 for instance. Raw foods also contain digestive enzymes that cooked and processed foods lack. The digestive enzymes that Nature provides with the raw fruit, vegetable, or meat is the perfect match for that particular food. If you don't get the digestive enzymes in the foods that you eat, your body has to make them. That requires energy and nutrients that's depleting of your energy resources. Many researchers who study those elements that contribute to longevity feel that the human body has a limited capacity and store of enzyme production over a lifetime. When your enzyme producing capacity expires, you expire!

Glycemic Index Study Shows that MonaVie EMV is a Sustained Source of Energy

A study completed in July 2009 by Glycemic Index Laboratories indicates that MonaVie E^MV has a low glycemic index (GI) and a prolonged energy effect, further validating the benefits of E^MV as a quick and sustained source of energy.


The GI, which ranks foods on how they affect our blood glucose levels, is most useful when deciding which carbohydrate foods to eat because not all carbohydrates act the same. Carbohydrates that have a high GI are quickly broken down, causing blood glucose levels to rise rapidly. Consuming foods with a high GI causes a large and rapid glycemic response. You may feel an initial elevation in energy and mood as your blood sugar rises, but this is generally followed by a cycle of increased lethargy and hunger.

Carbohydrates that have a low GI (like those found in MonaVie E^MV) break down more slowly, releasing glucose gradually into the blood stream. Compared to a high fructose corn syrup solution, MonaVie E^MV caused a smaller and slower rise in blood glucose levels and then maintained increased levels of blood glucose for a longer period of time. The absence of a sharp rise and fall in blood glucose and the maintenance of higher levels for longer periods of time led to longer lasting energy.



MonaVie E^MV gives you enough ENERGY to keep you racing all day!!! Tomas Scheckter INDY 500 Race Driver, relies on MonaVie E^MV to give him the ENERGY that he needs to take him in his MonaVie Indy Car to unrivaled victory!!!
