Oxidative Stress Report:Diabetes in Pregant Women Increases Birth Defects in Children by Four Times

The more research scientists do, the more they learn how dangerous is the problem of free radicals and oxidative stress. An article from Reuters Online News Service reports that women who already have diabetes before getting pregnant are four times more likely to produce a child with a birth defect, such as Spina Bifida, Cleft Palate or heart defects. It has long been understood that the main cause of all chronic degenerative disease, including Diabetes, is free radicals and oxidative stress. More simply put, the better job you do of eliminating free radicals, the less likely you are to get sick from chronic disease.

The more I read and study about wellness, the more I realize how absolutely helpless we are against disease and dysfunction without the help of antioxidants. This is so because antioxidants are capable of neutralizing free oxygen radicals before they can do more damage. We also, absolutely must, engage in extreme lifestyle change (Dr. Ray Strand).

One way for people to stabilize their blood sugar, reverse diseases such as Diabetes and lose weight is through the consumption of foods high in antioxidant flavonoids.(Dr. Steve Warren).

One such food is pure, unadulterated cocoa beans made into healthy dark chocolate. The cocoa can't be beat up and highly-processed, like most of the food we eat today, and it can't be filled with unhealthy milk and refined sugar, like most chocolate on the market today. No, it has to be cold-pressed and gently treated and made into healthy and yummy dark chocolate using low-glycemic sweeteners such as Agave Nectar, Palatinose, and of course, naturally-occurring, low glycemic fructose.

Of course, there is more to reversing disease and losing weight than just eating healthy chocolate, but increasing the amount of antioxidants you consume is a very big step in the right direction. Isn't it time to give your future children a fighting chance?
