In this candid conversation, Nancy discusses the difference between food and (food) products and how Americans continue to suffer due to the industrialization of food.

Sighting practices in the dairy industry that have essentially compromised the quality and composition of milk, Nancy also touches on the inherent problems of high fructose corn syrup, MSG and other unnatural substances that have subtly made their way into our home and stomach.From health issues related to cholesterol and obesity, to ineffective diet plans and hormonal imbalances Ms. Deville points out the clear relationship of how the food we eat (a lot of which we believe is healthy) is poisoning our bodies. Aside from the disappointing realities of what we face as consumers, Nancy also sheds light on a few practical solutions for overcoming the challenges. nancy deville, death by supermarket, nutritional books, nutrition, diet plans, hormonal imbalances

Mickey Schuett, founder and former president of NeuroNutrition, discusses the advantages of krill oil as a leading supplement for getting Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids.NKO (Neptune Krill Oil) was the first company to successfully extract the oil from krill. Krill is a crustacean, but it is not a bottom-feeder. It is the main food source of whales, dolphins and penguins. Since it is a cold, deep-water organism that eats algae krill oil has an advantage over regular fish oil in that it also provides a rich source of antioxidants.Krill oil gets accepted and absorbed into the blood stream more easily than other kinds of fish or flax seed oil. Benefits include helping brain and heart health, people over 40 years old, post pregnancy, PMS relief, children with attention deficit disorder (ADD) and improved cholesterol levels.Very low mercury is transmitted from Krill since they don t live long enough to get mercury build up (approximately 12 months). The most important thing about fatty acids is simple, that the body needs them. Krill oil can be purchased from many resources, a couple of which include PrimeMetabolics.com and Mercola.com krill oil, omega 3, omega 6, heart health, lower cholesterol, mercola, prime metabolics
