Also works for people without G6PD Deficiency

A research scientist for the US Agricultural department once called people with G6PDD "canaries in the coal mine". I've thought about that many times and have recently started researching what is healthy for everyone. An interesting pattern is emerging. Basically, what we have been taught for the past few decades about what is healthy, is totally wrong.

My wife's father died in his early 60's due to a heart attack. Okay...so what? The problem is that he was an avid health nut. Because he knew that heart disease ran in his family, he did everything he could to prevent it, to no avail.

Heart disease is a relatively new thing. We've been told that it is due to smoking, drinking and fat, but something is wrong with that statement. Before 1900 people drank, smoked and ate tons of fat. Why weren't they dying of heart disease? What happened after 1900 that made us start dying of heart disease? Over the next few weeks I'm going to explore that question and see if I can make some sense out of it. Maybe canaries can give us some insight.

Staying Healthy with G6PD Deficiency RELEASED!!

After a little over a year of work, Staying Healthy with G6PD Deficiency finally made it into print. I am so proud of the work Melody did designing it. The book is full color with bleed, 8" X 10" and 172 information packed pages. It was written especially for people with G6PD Deficiency, but is a great way for everyone to stay healthy.

Oxidative stress from some foods, drugs and other substances (like moth balls) cause red blood cells to die prematurely in people with G6PD Deficiency, but oxidative stress also causes problems with everyone. For example, some cancers are caused or exacerbated by oxidative stress. One researcher called people with G6PD Deficiency "canaries in the coal mine". But the rest of the population is right behind us. In 1960 the United States was in the top few for longevity, but today, we are number 32, behind Cuba.

Our lifestyle and quality of food choices is catching up to us. Staying away from oxidative substances can help all of us, but especially those with G6PD Deficiency.

Staying healthy can be a challenge for us all, but for the thousands of people with G6PD, this challenge can be overwhelming.
