In this Barbera Walters interview with Dr.Sinclair, his closing statement was "Aging really is a set of diseases. If we slow them down and cure them. People will live longer, Healther Lives." In other words Diabetes, Alzheimers and Cancer are exactly the diseases that should be effectively treated with the Antioxidant Superfoods being developed. Nothing To Fear ~
Nothing to fear...You are as good as the best, As strong as the mightiest, too. You can win in every battle or test; for there is no one just like you....Just one of you in the world today. so nobody else, you see, can do your mission in as fine a way: you are the only you there'll be! So face the world, and all life is yours. to conquer and love and live; and you'll find the happiness that endures; in just the measure you give; there's nothing too good for you to possess, nor heights where you cannot go: your power is more than belief or guess ~~ it is something you have to know. there is nothing to fear ~you see ~you can and you will. for you are the invincible you. set your foot on the highest hill. there is nothing you can not do. ~POP POP “Nobody gets to live life backward. Look ahead, that is where your future lies.”

The Scientific Knowledge
National Cancer Institute U.S. National Institutes of Health / http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/factsheet/prevention/redwine Red Wine and Cancer Prevention: Fact Sheet Key Points
Research on the antioxidants found in red wine has shown that they may help inhibit the development of certain cancers (see Question 1). Resveratrol has been shown to reduce tumor incidence in animals by affecting one or more stages of cancer development. It has been shown to inhibit growth of many types of cancer cells in culture (see Question 2). Recent evidence from animal studies suggests this anti-inflammatory compound may be an effective chemo preventive agent in three stages of the cancer process: Initiation, promotion, and progression (see Question 3). Red wine is a rich source of biologically active phytochemicals, chemicals found in plants. Particular compounds called polyphenols found in red wine—such as catechins and resveratrol—are thought to have antioxidant or anticancer properties.
What are polyphenols and how do they prevent cancer Polyphenols are antioxidant compounds found in the skin and seeds of grapes. When wine is made from these grapes, the alcohol produced by the fermentation process dissolves the polyphenols contained in the skin and seeds. Red wine contains more polyphenols than white wine because the making of white wine requires the removal of the skins after the grapes are crushed. The phenols in red wine include catechin, gallic acid, and epicatechin.
Polyphenols have been found to have antioxidant properties. Antioxidants are substances that protect cells from oxidative damage caused by molecules called free radicals. These chemicals can damage important parts of cells, including proteins, membranes, and DNA. Cellular damage caused by free radicals has been implicated in the development of cancer. Research on the antioxidants found in red wine has shown that they may help inhibit the development of certain cancers. What is resveratrol and how does it prevent cancer?
Resveratrol is a type of polyphenol called a phytoalexin, a class of compounds produced as part of a plant's defense system against disease. It is produced in the plant in response to an invading fungus, stress, injury, infection, or ultraviolet irradiation. Red wine contains high levels of resveratrol, as do grapes, raspberries, peanuts, and other plants.
Resveratrol has been shown to reduce tumor incidence in animals by affecting one or more stages of cancer development. It has been shown to inhibit growth of many types of cancer cells in culture. Evidence also exists that it can reduce inflammation. It also reduces activation of NF kappa B, a protein produced by the body's immune system when it is under attack. This protein affects cancer cell growth and metastasis. Resveratrol is also an antioxidant. What have red wine studies found?
The cell and animal studies of red wine have examined effects in several cancers, including leukemia, skin, breast, and prostate cancers. Scientists are studying resveratrol to learn more about its cancer preventive activities. Recent evidence from animal studies suggests this anti-inflammatory compound may be an effective chemo preventive agent in three stages of the cancer process: Initiation, promotion, and progression. Research studies published in the International Journal of Cancer show that drinking a glass of red wine a day may cut a man's risk of prostate cancer in half and that the protective effect appears to be strongest against the most aggressive forms of the disease. It was also seen that men who consumed four or more 4-ounce glasses of red wine per week have a 60 percent lower incidence of the more aggressive types of prostate cancer. However, studies of the association between red wine consumption and cancer in humans are in their initial stages. Although consumption of large amounts of alcoholic beverages may increase the risk of some cancers, there is growing evidence that the health benefits of red wine are related to its nonalcoholic components. Okay, How do we take this information and apply it to our lives?
There are other sources of getting quality antioxidants. You want to add foods to your diet that have a valuable ORAC score. Ask your produce manager at your Grocery store to please provide the ORAC information on the produce they carry. " Except our own thoughts, there is nothing absolutely in our power."
What is an ORAC Score?
Written By Garry Crystal, An Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) score is a test tube analysis that measures the antioxidant levels of food and other chemical substances. If a food has a high ORAC score, then it means the food is high in antioxidants. The antioxidant’s strength is its ability to eliminate oxygen free radicals. With the ORAC score, a higher score means the food is better at helping us fight diseases such as heart disease and cancer. Foods with a high ORAC score may be able to protect cells and their components from oxidative damage. Oxygen radicals are chemicals that form naturally inside the body through the process of oxidation. Everyday functions such as digestion and physical activity produce oxygen radicals. Daily exposure to polluted air, rancid food and oxidizing radiation from the sun and electrical appliances also contribute. An easy to understand example of oxidation is to imagine rust attacking metal. When the rust eats away at the metal, the metal starts to weaken and decay until it can no longer work. This is what happens to our body when free radicals attack it. Organs, cells and other parts of the body can be weakened by oxidation. This leads to diseases such as cancer, skin and heart diseases, senile dementia and osteoarthritis. The ORAC score test was developed by Dr. Guohua Cao, a chemist and physician. The ORAC score covers all the antioxidants in foods. Antioxidants cannot easily be measured separately, but the ORAC score test can identify which nutrients are the important antioxidants. Combinations of nutrients found in foods may have greater protective benefits than each nutrient on its own. Many people obtain a number of their daily nutrients from supplements in pill or powder form, but in order to receive the best form of nutrients, it is essential to receive them from plant chemicals rather than just from supplements. There are certain types of plants that have a better antioxidant level than others, and the ORAC score can measure these. Different types of fruit and vegetables have different ORAC scores. The recommended “5-a-day” fruit and vegetable servings will give you an ORAC score of 1,750 units. You could pick seven fruits with a low ORAC level and achieve only 1,300 ORAC units. Studies have shown that eating foods with a high ORAC score will raise the antioxidant levels in the blood by around 10 to 25%. The ORAC figure suggested by experts is around 5,000 units per day to have a significant effect on plasma and tissue antioxidant levels. Eating eight to ten servings of brightly colored fruits and vegetables or dark greens will help achieve this level. More and more foods and supplements are beginning to state the ORAC score on their labels, and this should make it easier to find foods you like which are also good for you. " Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do" The Practical Solution
( Pronounced “Juice” )
Quick Fact: One ounce of Jus (Pronounced "juice") contains over 275 times the amount of resveratrol in red wine. In other words, you would have to drink 35, 8-ounce glasses of red wine to equal the amount of resveratrol in 1 ounce of Jus.
Jus~
antioxidant drink is the most powerful antioxidant drink in the world. Just 1oz of Jus is equal to 13 servings of fruits, vegetables and herbs.(www.GardenStateNutritionals.com )
Jus~ contains 23 fruits, vegetables and herbs captured from the four corners of the world. Giving it an industry leading ORAC score of 8687 in just 1 oz of Jus. ORAC stands for: Oxygen Radical Absorbency Capacity . To give you a comparison , Vitamin Water has an ORAC score of just 133. Other antioxidant drinks don’t even compare. Mona Vie=692, Tahitian Noni=525 and XanGo=1010.(www.BrunswickLabs.com )
Jus~ is also the least expensive with it coming in just under a cup a coffee at $1.70. Do you think you could buy 13 servings of fruits, vegetables and herbs for $1.70? Go to any major disease .org (Cancer, Alzheimer’s, high cholesterol, diabetes etc…etc.) and they all recommend a diet high in “fruits, vegetables and herbs.” Do you have such a diet?
Jus~ tastes like a fine red wine. One of the reasons for this is because Jus contains resveratrol, the ingredient accidentally discovered to have cancer prevention, healthy heart and anti- aging properties. You would have to drink 35.5 8oz glasses of red wine to equal the amount of resveratrol in just 1oz of Jus. Help others and help yourself as well. www.OrderJusToday.com Be sure to visit the Testimony videos. Product videos and the video from the Chairman of Jus, Rick Durham. "Those who bring sunshine into the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves."
The research suggests:
that it takes about 3 months for the increase of antioxidants to be fully registered in your plasma when adding fruits, vegetables and herbs to a previously deficient diet.
Jus~
is a superior choice as it gives you 13 servings of fruits, vegetables and herbs for just $1.70 a shot. Facts from the World Health Organization ~ www.who.int , Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ~ www.cdc.gov
