VITAMIN CAN LOSE WEIGHT
Apart from this weight loss vitamins depend on minerals like Chromium and Zinc for the production of hormones to regulate fat. Chromium is well researched and the studies show it is an important component of weight loss vitamin supplement as it aids in metabolism of sugar and glucose tolerance.
ORGANIC FOOD
What is organic food?
Organic food is grown 'naturally' with nil or minimal use of harmful chemicals. Organic food is not the same as 'spray-free' or 'residue-free'. Organic production is based on positive management systems which reduce or eliminate the need for most agricultural chemicals. One of the main differences between conventional and organic food production is the requirement for organic certification. Organic certifiers represent the consumer with a guarantee that the food is grown to an acceptable organic production standard.
Organic fresh produce and ingredients are grown without the routine use of agricultural chemicals such as fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, growth regulators, colour and flavour enhancers.
Organic processed products have been made using organic ingredients and with nil or minimal use of synthetic additives like stabilisers, emulsifiers, antioxidants, preservatives and colourants.
Organic food reduces the incidence of toxic residues in your diet. Consumers buy and support organic food because they believe organic food is:
* safer - no or minimal pesticides and other harmful chemicals
* more nutritious - some comparative studies show higher levels of minerals in organic food than conventionally grown food
* higher quality than conventionally grown food - it has better taste, better storage and is more wholesome
* better for the environment - organic production methods have less impact on soils, water, and ecological systems than conventional agriculture.

FACTS OF FAT
How much is too much body fat?
It is generally accepted that men should have less than 18% total body fat and women 23% or less, However, experts suggest that an excess is not particularly hazardous to health until an individual accumulates 35% and 40% total body fat respectively. Such levels definitely constitute obesity and potentially, if not most probably, have a detrimental effect on one's. body fat percentage can be determined using a pair of callipers
So what is percent body fat?
Percent body fat is the percentage of the total body that is fat. Thus someone who weighs 150 pounds and is 10% fat has 15 pounds of fatty tissue and 135 pounds of other, so called lean tissue.
Where does body fat come from?
Fat is produced by the body when an excess intake of calories in the form of food or drink occurs. When the diet provides the body with more calories than it needs for general maintenance and its current level of physical activity, this excess energy is stored in the form of body fat.
How do I lose excess fat?
Put simply, the removal of excess fat is by a reversal of the bodily processes that store excess energy, if an individual burns more energy than he or she is consuming, the extra energy stored in the body will be removed to be broken down for physical activity.
How does exercise affect body fat?
An increase in regular exercise will help to increase your calorie expenditure. The more physical activity you do the more calories you will burn. Accordingly, if you increase your physical activity, and do not increase your intake of food, you will draw the extra energy needed from your stored body fat.
Why do gains in weight always seem to go on the same place?
One's body tends to deposit fat according to your individual genetic code. In other words, hereditary characteristics dictate areas in your body that accumulate fat. If you are a typical female, you will accumulate fat around your thighs and hips. Typically, males accumulate fat around the midriff and lose it there last
Can I get fat off from a specific part of the body?
The simple answer is NO. If you exercise a particular part of the body, muscle tissue under the fat will become firm and make the overall appearance of that region look better. However, such specific exercise will not reduce the quantity of fat within the area. Thus, simply by jogging one will not just reduce the fat around the legs and hips, the fat providing energy for this activity may be coming from the stomach, chin, back etc.
How many calories will it take to lose one pound of fat?
A calorie is a unit of energy, the deficit needed to lose one pound of fat being approximately 4000 Calories. This "rule of thumb" may vary considerably depending on the nature of the fat lost. For long term weight loss this figure is probably accurate.
Can I sweat off excess weight in a steam room or sauna?
Remember you are not trying to lose weight but fat. There is a real difference between the two. Weight could be fat, water or even muscle tissue, whereas fat is fat. The loss of weight through excess sweating as experienced in the sauna/steam room is not fat but water. Such weight returns immediately you consume fluid. Consequently if you lose say two and a half pounds in a session in the steam bath you will replace it with approximately the next two pints of water drunk (one pint of water weighs a pound and a quarter). However and obviously more worrying is that if the fluid loss is replaced by a high calorie drink you may end up gaining fats because of your weight loss attempt.
What are Essential Fat and Storage Fat?
The essential fat, required for normal physiological functioning, consists of fat stored in the marrow of bones, heart, lungs, liver, spleen, kidneys, intestines, muscles and lipid rich tissues of the central nervous system. In females, the extra 9% of sex specific fat is required for childbearing and other hormonal related functions.
In addition to essential fat deposits, storage fat consists of fat accumulation in adipose tissue. Men and women have similar quantities of storage fat - on average 12% for men and 15% for women.

Scandal Grows of Melamin in China
As the melamine scandal grows and creates global concerns about importing food products from China, the Chinese government is now testing a wide variety of food products for melamine, including fish and livestock feed. State run newspapers are calling for a full investigation into the use of melamine in food and animal feed.
Melamine, an organic based chemical that is widely used in plastics, adhesives, countertops and furniture, was originally found in milk and powdered infant formula in China. Presumably used to increase the protein content for State investigators, Melamine was used as an additive. When combined with cyanuric acid, which may also be present in melamine powder, melamine can form crystals that cause kidney stones. These small crystals can also block the small tubes in the kidney, causing kidney failure and death.
Over six thousand babies were sickened from tainted Chinese milk and several died.
In 2007, melamine contaminated animal food and was responsible for the death of a large number of animals due to kidney failure. As late as September 2008, baby zoo animals near Shanghai were sickened by tainted milk.
Now melamine has been discovered in eggs from china, baked good products that contain powdered milk and candy. Cadbury chocolate, made in the Beijing factory, was found to contain more melamine than the city’s legal limit of 2.5 parts per million. The Center for Food Safety said that Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Hazelnut Chocolate Bulk Pack contained 56 parts per million, while Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Cookies chocolate contained 6.9 parts per million.
The continued finding of melamine-contaminated products has raised new concerns that many more Chinese exports are involved. Because melamine may have been intentionally added to animal feed in China, tainted chicken and fish and hog feed could result in poisonous meat and seafood.
The Chinese government got involved in the scandal in mid-September and has pledged punishment for those involved in adulterating food. They vowed to strengthen food safety measures and have recalled a large number of dairy products and eggs. They have ordered the closing of thousands of slaughterhouses and food factories but it may be too little too late in terms of limiting the suspicion worldwide that Chinese products are not safe.
As recently as 6/26/07, China released a white paper that claimed, “Chinese food products are exported to more than 200 countries and regions. Statistics show that quality rating of Chinese food exports is very high. China has a strict regime in place to monitor and supervise food exports. Ninety nine percent of Chinese food exports meet applicable standards which is in parallel with the rate of US food exports to China, even a little higher.”
New findings continue to show that despite the Chinese national campaign to raise food safety standards and reassure consumers, the mainland’s broken down food safety inspectorate is unable to catch and report lapses in standards.
