We are rounding up your questions about roads. What confounds you about traffic, or how interstates are laid out? Are there certain road design elements that ignite your road rage? Tell us about it: we've got a traffic engineer in the passenger seat this week, ready to answer your questions. Call us at (877) 4-SCIFRI or 877-472-4374.In this episode, utterances like “um,” “wow,” and “mm-hmm” aren't just fillers—they keep conversations flowing. Also, new research suggests the artificial sweetener saccharin could kill antibiotic resistant bacteria.Huh? The Valuable Role Of InterjectionsListen carefully to a spoken conversation and you'll notice that the speakers use a lot of little quasi-words—mm-hmm, um, huh? and the like—that don't convey any information about the topic of the conversation itself. For many decades, linguists regarded such utterances as largely irrelevant noise, the flotsam and jetsam that accumulate on the margins of language when speakers aren't as articulate as they'd like to be.But these little words may be much more important than that. A few linguists now think that far from being detritus, they may be crucial traffic signals to regulate the flow of conversation as well as tools to negotiate mutual understanding. That puts them at the heart of language itself—and they may be the hardest part of language for artificial intelligence to master.Read the rest of this article on sciencefriday.com.A Sweet New Treatment For Antibiotic Resistant Infections?Researchers have discovered that the artificial sweetener saccharin has powerful antimicrobial properties. A new study published in EMBO Molecular Medicine suggests that saccharin can actually kill antibiotic resistant bacteria by interfering with DNA replication and cell division. The researchers also concluded that, with the help of traditional antibiotics, saccharin could even be used as an effective wound treatment.Host Ira Flatow talks with study author Dr. Ronan McCarthy, professor in biomedical sciences and director of the Antimicrobial Innovations Centre at Brunel University of London.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Today we dive into the contentious topic of artificial sweeteners. We explore the health implications of various sugar substitutes like Saccharin, Aspartame, Sucralose, and Stevia, referencing a study by Carolyn Hopkins from NBC News. We evaluate consumer concerns, government regulations, and personal dietary choices, including having a lively debate on the impact of artificial sweeteners on health and the broader implications of diet cultures. Through humorous exchanges and personal anecdotes, we emphasize moderation and informed choices in dietary habits. 00:00 Introduction and Alert 00:27 Brandon's Article Introduction 01:03 Headline: Artificial Sweeteners 01:23 Health Risks of Artificial Sweeteners 03:09 Personal Diet Choices and Opinions 05:02 Common Sense and Moderation 08:16 FDA and Food Safety 13:11 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Which artificial sweetener is the safest choice? smarticlepodcast@gmail.com #artificialsweeteners #stevia #saccharine #sucralose #aspartame #fakesugar #health #diet #smarticle @Smarticleshow @BDDoble @larryolson threads.net/@smarticleshow @brand.dobes The Smarticle Podcast https://www.smarticlepodcast.com/
Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts gerät ein Basler Polizist ins Visier der Justiz. Ihm wird vorgeworfen, den künstlichen Süssstoff Saccharin über die Grenze nach Deutschland zu schmuggeln. Auf den Spuren eines bittersüssen Kriminalfalls. Nicht Drogen waren der Fokus von Schweizer Schmugglern um die Jahrhundertwende, sondern der künstliche Süssstoff Saccharin. Er ist zu dieser Zeit in fast ganz Europa verboten, nicht aber in der Schweiz. Viele ärmere Menschen versuchten ihr Glück mit dem Saccharin-Schmuggel – auch ein Basler Polizist? Im April 1912 erhält der Basler Polizist Adolf Schuppisser eine brisante Mitteilung: Gegen ihn liegt ein deutscher Haftbefehl vor. Ihm wird vorgeworfen, Saccharin über die Grenze zu schmuggeln. Er wird umgehend suspendiert. Ist ausgerechnet Landjäger Schuppisser einer von Hunderten Personen, die Saccharin illegal aus der Schweiz bringen? Schuppisser beteuert in zahlreichen überlieferten Briefen seine Unschuld. Er lässt die Vorwürfe nicht auf sich sitzen und geht den Weg durch die Instanzen. Was kommt dabei raus? Die Zeitblende zeichnet den Kampf des Basler Polizisten um seine Existenz nach und wartet mit unerwarteten Wendungen auf. Die Zeitblende beleuchtet, wie Saccharin überhaupt zur beliebten Schmuggelware wurde, welche wirtschaftlichen Folgen der Saccharinschmuggel hatte, wie er die Schweiz international in Bedrängnis brachte und wie der Schmuggel ablief. Dabei gab es viele mögliche Methoden, nicht zuletzt jene des Schmugglerpaars aus der Zeitschrift Nebelspalter, das das Saccharin unter seiner Kleidung über die Grenze zu bringen versuchte.

Zucker mit all seinen Einsatzmöglichkeiten ein beliebtes Lebensmittel. Was ist eigentlich der Unterschied zwischen Zucker, Süßungsmitteln und Zuckeraustauschstoffen? Wie wird Zucker überhaupt hergestellt und welche wichtigen Erfindungen und Entdeckungen gab es rund um den Zucker? Darüber sprechen wir in dieser Folge.
Give anything ten years' time, and the truth and false of it comes out. Like Soya oil , nonsugar sweeteners just lost all their glitz and glimmer. Artificial sweeteners: Wolf in sheep's clothing? The Good: They are zero calories and may be prescribed under certain conditions. The Bad and Ugly: It's said that aspartame is very addictive to the brain (source ). It's 700 times sweeter than sugar. In fact, it's a much more difficult substance to stop using because people tend to overuse it in larger quantities to get the sugar hit. This causes your body to crave more and more of it. You think it's zero calories (which it is) but it's not zero harm as your body ends up having excessive stimulation and dopamine overload. Plus these sweeteners can alter your gut bacteria (source ) and cause havoc just like carrageenan. Saccharin, sucralose, and aspartame even at low concentrations promote pathogenic changes in gut bacteria.(source) 283 studies were reviewed. In adults, pregnant women, children and it was seen they can increase the risk of type 2 Diabetes, Cardiovascular events. The very thing they were being touted to protect against.

Alan Aragon, a nutrition researcher and educator with over 30 years of success in the field. He is known as one of the most influential figures in the fitness industry's movement toward evidence-based information. His notable clients include Stone Cold Steve Austin, Derek Fisher, and Pete Sampras."If there's enough total calories in the diet, enough total carbs in the diet, and of course enough protein in the diet, then the shifting around and the positioning of carbohydrate is best left to pretty much individual preference as far as positioning it for maximizing muscle hypertrophy." - Alan AragonLinks for this episodeNutritional Peak Week and Competition Day Strategies of Competitive Natural BodybuildersEffect of protein/essential amino acids and resistance training on skeletal muscle hypertrophy: A case for whey proteinThe Effects of Creatine Supplementation Combined with Resistance Training on Regional Measures of Muscle Hypertrophy: A Systematic Review with Meta-AnalysisArtificial sweeteners induce glucose intolerance by altering the gut microbiotaHigh-dose saccharin supplementation does not induce gut microbiota changes or glucose intolerance in healthy humans and miceEpisode Overview:00:07:17 - Carb timing for muscle growth, Carb timing is less important than protein timing when it comes to muscle hypertrophy. 00:13:59 - Ketogenic diet for muscle growth, While Ketogenic dieting works for many, it's not the optimal tool for maximizing muscle mass and retention. According to elite-level natural bodybuilders, an average of 2 grams of carbohydrate per pound of body weight during prep can help maximize muscle retention while losing fat. 00:15:43 - Carb timing and lifting capacity, Carb timing has less importance than protein timing when it comes to muscle hypertrophy. However, some literature suggests that lifting capacity is compromised when carbohydrates are not consumed, regardless of timing.00:16:21 - The Effects of Fasted Lifting on Performance, Lifting fasted can compromise performance, so it's recommended to have a mixed macronutrient meal with some level of carbohydrate within one to two hours prior to the lifting session.00:17:40 - The Anabolic Window, The idea that quickly absorbing protein and carbohydrates post-workout maximizes muscle protein synthesis has been debunked. Constant dosing of protein, carbohydrates, and fats throughout the day negates the need to hyper-focus on the immediate post-exercise period.00:22:17 - The Role of Carbohydrates in Maximizing Muscle Protein Synthesis, A study showed that when you have enough protein, you don't need to add carbohydrates to it to maximize muscle protein synthesis. The optimal dose for protein is between 0.4 to 0.6g/kg of body weight, which appears to maximize the short-term anabolic effect or maximize the muscle protein synthesis response.00:26:47 - The Benefits of Flexible Thinking, Training fasted vs fed depends on the goal and the population. While fasted training can lead to stronger anabolic signaling, compromising performance is a possibility. The best approach is to train when you can train, and when you can't, you can make it up later.00:32:58 - Fasting and Fat Loss, There's no net difference over a 24-hour period between training fasted and fed when it comes to fat loss.00:34:17 - Fasted vs. Fed Cardio, A study was conducted on untrained women comparing the effects of fasted and fed cardio on body composition, which revealed no significant differences in muscle preservation or fat loss between the two groups. 00:40:04 - Creatine Meta-Analysis, A meta-analysis was conducted on the effects of creatine on muscle hypertrophy and revealed a disappointing increase in muscle thickness among untrained subjects. However, the analysis showed a substantial increase in strength gains across multiple studies, even in highly trained subjects. 00:48:15 - Creatine Non-Responders, Creatine non-responders constitute about 20-30% of individuals who poorly respond to creatine due to various reasons, including high initial levels of muscle creatine saturation and differences in fiber type distribution across individuals. However, the majority of people who use creatine can expect to gain lean mass and strength. 00:52:09 - Benefits of Creatine, Creatine offers multifaceted benefits ranging from neurological health to musculoskeletal health and metabolic benefits. It can improve cognition, bone and joint health, and glycemic control.00:53:39 - The Benefits of Creatine, Creatine has been shown to help with cognitive function, joint health, lean tissue function, and even increase bone density. It's a conditionally essential compound that can be obtained through diet or supplementation. 00:56:10 - Seed Oils and Gestational Diabetes, There is speculation that Creatine could help manage gestational diabetes due to its ability to increase insulin sensitivity and muscle glucose uptake. Seed oils have been talked about as a monolithic species, but they should be considered on a case-by-case basis. 01:03:15 - Evidence-Based Nutrition, It's important to look at the evidence when it comes to nutrition and not just blindly follow internet fairy tales or appeal to nature fallacies. Vegetable oils have consistently shown better health outcomes compared to saturated fats. 01:06:20 - Appeal to Nature Fallacy, Just because something is natural or organic doesn't necessarily mean it's good for you (e.g. cancer). While there are benefits to going natural when possible, technology can enhance human quality of life in multiple domains, including food technology. 01:11:39 - Non-Nutritive Sweeteners, There are different categories of non-nutritive sweeteners, such as sucralose and saccharines. 01:12:07 - Artificial Sweeteners and Health Concerns, Artificial sweeteners are relatively harmless, and the doses necessary to achieve what they achieve are negligible. Stevia, for instance, has an array of potential therapeutic effects, whereas Saccharin has been shown to cause unfavorable changes in gut microbiome.01:19:01 - Reverse Causation and Disease Processes, Large-scale population studies that investigate the association between artificial sweeteners and heart disease, diabetes, or obesity are poorly controlled. It is much more likely that the opposite is true, with the state of having these diseases driving the consumption of artificial sweeteners to a greater degree. 01:21:08 - Convergence of Evidence, When both controlled interventions (randomized controlled trials) and observational studies (epidemiology) converge, we can confidently conclude that artificial sweeteners cause disease processes at the intermediate level and lead to actual disease endpoints. 01:23:40 - Personal Opinion, While Alan advocates for drinking plain water, he believes that consuming artificial sweeteners is a reasonable trade-off if it helps individuals reduce their sugar intake.We'd like to thank our sponsors:Become the best version of yourself and get 15% off Ned products by going to helloned.com/BETTER or enter code BETTER at checkout.Athletic Greens – redeem an exclusive offer hereFourSigmatic Use code DRSTEPHANIE for 10% offOrion Red Light Therapy – Use the code STEPHANIE10 for 10% offSchinouusa – Use code DR.ESTIMA10 for 10% offBIOOPTIMIZERS – receive 10% off your order with Promo Code “ESTIMA”The DNA Company – $50 discount using code “DRSTEPHANIE” at checkout.HVMN Ketones – get 10% off your order with Promo Code “STEPHANIE”ILIA BeautyLiving Libations – Use code BETTER for 15% offLMNT Electrolytes – A FREE 7-flavor sample pack!PRIMEADINE – get 10% Off your Order with Promo Code “DRSTEPHANIE10”Follow Me On InstagramWatch Better! on YouTubeGet yourself a copy of my best-selling book, The Betty Body
New World Health Organization (WHO) guidance advises against the use of sugar substitutes for weight loss purposes. In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney talks about the WHO's review, which suggests that while a mild reduction in body weight may occur in the short term, it is not sustainable over time. The review also highlighted potential negative effects associated with long-term use of sugar substitutes, including a slightly increased risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The review incorporated 283 studies, including randomized controlled trials and observational studies. Both the Calorie Control Council, an international association representing the low-calorie food and beverage industry, and the International Sweeteners Association, an industry association, expressed disappointment with the WHO's guidance. The team is not surprised with the WHO's guidance but wonders how much of an impact it will have on the broader food industry.Also in this episode, Sydney talks about Pairwise, a startup based in Durham, North Carolina, that launched its first CRISPR-developed product in the US: Conscious Greens. Touted as a mix of superfood leafy greens, the product claims to offer twice the nutrition of traditional romaine lettuce and comes with an appealing fresh flavor. This product is notable because the company claims it's the first food product in the US that was developed using CRISPR technology. CRISPR, or Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, is a gene-editing technique that can be used to alter the DNA of cells to enhance certain characteristics or reduce less desirable ones. In this case, Pairwise used CRISPR to address the issue that most lettuces lack nutritional value, and many other greens are too bitter or hard to eat. Sydney also mentions other companies that are using CRISPR in agriculture, including Inari Agriculture, Monsanto and DuPont. The team wonders whether food companies will have to include a label that indicates whether a food product was developed with CRISPR.

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog The best way to decrease you risk of developing illness and cancer, as well as a cancer recurrence, is to get your immune system as healthy as possible. Everyone's body makes cancer cells daily, but your amazing immune system protects you by killing them before they multiply. The key to preventing chronic illness, cancer, and a cancer recurrence, infections such as viruses or bacteria, and chronic fatigue is to turn the clock backwards to when you were young and your immune system's “power center”, the thymus gland, was large and active. The thymus gland makes T Killer and T helper white blood cells that kill cancer and bacteria. The thymus gland is key to your immune system, and it shrinks with age. It is large and active when we are children and gets smaller and less active as we age. After age 60 you may notice that people get sicker and that is when they have the most frequent cancer diagnoses. The thymus gland can be stimulated again by “feeding” it and stimulating it into action again. The best way to improve your immune system's health and reverse the thymus's aging process is to make your thymus more active, like it was when you were younger. The best way to achieve this is to replace testosterone, stimulate growth hormone (if necessary), eat healthy food and avoid unhealthy food, add daily exercise to your lifestyle, achieve ideal weight, take supplements, and use immune-boosting peptides like Thymosin alpha-1 or Thymulin and or take medications like Metformin ER. The following lists are meant to be helpful for you to improve the status of your immune system. Medications/Hormone Prescriptions that improve Immunity: Testosterone pellets and injections Metformin ER 500 mg-2,000 mg Thymosin alpha-1 peptide (currently unavailable) Thymulin peptide Peptides that stimulate the Growth Hormone. Eg. Sermorelin, Ipamorelin, CJC.. Supplements that Support your Immune System & Recommended Daily Dosing: Vitamin C - 1,000 mg/day Vitamin D3 - 5,000 IU/day Zinc - 30-50 mg/day Methyl-B Complex from BioBalance Health - 1 /day Magnesium Glycinate or Magnesium Complex from BioBalance Health - 400-800/day N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) from BioBalance Health – 1800 mg/day Inositol 1-2 grams a day Choline 425-550 per day Glutathione (given im, IV optimally) 50-600 mg/day orally (20-40 mg/kg of body weight 3 x a day) Airborn® Diet: Lots of fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, and animal protein (meat and milk products) Citrus fruit Limit caffeine to no more than 2 cups/day Avoid sugar, synthetic sugars (Saccharin, Equal®), alcohol, gluten, and processed foods Avoid preservatives, and food coloring/dyes (especially Red #40 & Yellow #5) Exercise: Doing 45min of cardio per day or more is optimal! Add weight training for the whole body. Red Light Therapy: 20 minutes a day stimulates the mitochondria to make more immune cells, and to activate them. Sunshine: 45-60min/day is optimal! No sunglasses or sunscreen. Medications to AVOID: Statins Steroids Drugs that treat autoimmune disease called biologics Medical Treatments to avoid if possible that Suppress the Immune System Immune suppressants Treatments for autoimmune diseases Cancer treatments such as radiation and chemotherapy Habits and substances to avoid that suppress the immune response (the thymus gland and the cells that it produces. Avoid the habits and environmental substances that follow: All types of tobacco products Smoking anything—tobacco, THC, etc. causes the lungs to be damaged and to carry carcinogens into the body. You can put an air purifier in your home and or office. Alcohol, yes including wine and beer (they are toxins) Drugs not prescribed by a doctor and some that are prescribed by a doctor. See “Medications to Avoid” above. Fast food Sugar, honey, simple carbohydrates that raise the blood sugar Inactivity Short lengths of sleeping. Humans need at least 7 hours of sleep. Night work/shift work Indoor light > outdoor sun light Tap water that contains chemicals and fluoride--only drink purified water Use of chemicals on your lawn and pesticides in and outside of your home because they are carcinogens No one can avoid all bad habits and substances that block your production of White Blood cells and protect you from cancer, autoimmune diseases and infections, however you can take steps to improve your immune system to decrease your chance of these diseases. The most important change you can make that protects you with just one change is to replace testosterone with bioidentical pellets, if you are over 40 years old. Testosterone in pellet form is the one hormonal replacement that will improve your immune status more than any other single treatment or supplement. So what is stopping you from preventing future illness and suffering?
Artificial sweeteners have been around for decades, but lately, there is a lot of controversy surrounding their safety. In this video, we will discuss artificial sweeteners and their effect on the microbiome. The gut microbiome is one of the most important parts of our body, and a lot of research is being carried out to understand its role in a number of health conditions. Some people claim that non-nutritive sweeteners, such as aspartame, sucralose, stevia, and saccharin can alter gut microbiome and increase blood glucose and insulin levels. This may be one reason why people who consume artificial sweeteners are more prone to obesity, type 2 diabetes and other chronic health issues. We will also discuss Saccharin which is the oldest of all non-nutritive sweeteners and the one that has been around for the longest time.Reference: Suez J, Cohen Y, Valdés-Mas R, Mor U, Dori-Bachash M, Federici S, Zmora N, Leshem A, Heinemann M, Linevsky R, Zur M, Ben-Zeev Brik R, Bukimer A, Eliyahu-Miller S, Metz A, Fischbein R, Sharov O, Malitsky S, Itkin M, Stettner N, Harmelin A, Shapiro H, Stein-Thoeringer CK, Segal E, Elinav E.

As you've heard me say, if we're not getting rid of toxins, they're going to store in certain areas of our body—like our fat. As I've told my patients for years, if you're struggling with weight loss, it could be an over burdened body by toxins. Think of it this way—your body won't release fat because it's protecting itself from the toxins. It's so necessary to clear out the filters of our body… including our liver.

See all the Healthcast at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog/ Last week we talked about obesity as the biggest risk to both individual health and to the overall health of Americans. This is not fat shaming…this is a fact! Americans are inundated with advertising which literally makes them hungry for foods that make them fat, which then makes them hungry for more high calories food….we are being fooled into eating what is killing us! I think the epidemic of Obesity in the US is caused by the following: Fast food, Junk Food Sugared and Diet soft drinks Excessive Alcohol intake (and high calorie mixers they are served in) Lack of physical movement Lack of exercise: TV, driving, video games, Mental vs Physical labor Sugar substitutes that cause obesity (Splenda (yellow) Saccharin (pink) Equal (blue) Stress Fast food= High calories + High Carbohydrates= Weight gain The only time I have fast food is when I am traveling by car. This summer, I took note of all the calories/carbs in the fast food we were stopping for which made me horrified at the possible total daily calories one meal can generate. By driving I am not exercising so basically, I am fatter when I get somewhere than when I started….next year I'm packing my food! The basal metabolic rate = the number of calories you burn in a day if you aren't working out and exercising is generally less than 2,000 calories, and the shorter you are the fewer calories you need. Your weight doesn't increase the number of calories you need unless your weight is from muscle. Fat doesn't burn any calories, only muscle does!! This means that if you eat 2,000 calories per day and sit at your job you will stay the same weight. If you eat more you gain if you eat less you lose. But a calorie isn't a calorie…in other words all calories aren't equal. Even though fat contains more calories per oz than protein or carbohydrates, carbohydrates impair your ability to burn calories by making you insulin resistant…carbohydrates are more damaging to your weight loss than any other food and fast food is full of them! Here is what I found out about fast food. Big Mac = 540 calories Burger King Large Fries = 434 calories Chick Filet Chicken sandwich = 430 cal Chick Filet sandwich = 440 calories Chipolte Burrito-Carne = 570 calories Dairy Queen ½ lb. grilled burger with cheese = 800 calories Dairy Queen brownie batter Blizzard, medium = 880 calories KFC Fried Chicken one Chicken breast = 360 calories McDonald's French Fries large = 510 calories (all carb and fat) Panera/STL Bread Co asiago cheese bagel = 320 calories (all carb) Pizza Hut meat lover's 1- slice = 410 calories (who eats just one slice?) Taco Bell soft Taco = 180 cal each Coffee Calories: Coffee at Starbucks is really just drinking dessert! Coffee black any size = 0 calories Starbucks Café mocha Vente = 280 calories Starbucks Café mocha vente = 330 calories The Point: Cooking at home with olive oil and other polyunsaturated oils with low carb contents is more conducive to weight loss than eating fast food….No surprise! Soft Drinks Soda is just eating a bowl of corn syrup with carbonation---It is deadly because it readjusts your insulin, by increasing your insulin to cause insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is the problem when it comes to weight loss as adults…and some children. These drinks should be removed from the American diet…they provide no nutrition, and they cause obesity. Obesity can only be treated by and avoided by consciously eating a healthy diet without fast and junk food, without soda and simple sugars. The other side of this is that Americans must sit less and exercise and walk more. Know how many calories you can eat and minimize carbohydrates. If we eat it, big business will continue to sell junk and fast food. We have been a bad example to the rest of the world by exporting all the fast-food franchises to other countries. We must take the lead in following healthy patterns that provide profit for companies that make healthy food and drink instead of the food and drink of obesity and the addiction to sugar!
This week's episode of Your Weekly Dose of Higher Consciousness Quiz takes a look at natural and artificial everyday sweeteners: · sugar, · corn syrup, · high fructose corn syrup, · maple syrup, · honey, · molasses, · stevia, · monk fruit extract, · Xylitol, · erythritol, · saccharin, · aspartame, and· sucralose.These calibrations were curated from the website ConsciousnessCalibrations.comEach week we intend to help you put into context where higher levels of truth and power exist based on consciousness calibrations.Just because one thing is of higher consciousness than another does not make it "BETTER." All levels of consciousness above 200 are positive aspect-oriented, constructive, and uplifting to all humankind's consciousness.Calibrations below 200 are downward pulling, destructive, and negative-aspect oriented.Levels of consciousness above 600 are spiritually enlightened levels of consciousness and not easily understood by most humans as we are not there yet.So, enjoy Your Weekly Dose of Higher Consciousness Quiz and embrace the consciousness levels that draw you to your evolution of consciousness.Here are Links to Purchase Dr. David R.

Here is a crash course on what to look for so you are prepared for your next store visit!! In a perfect world, we would all buy foods without labels (i.e. fresh organic veggies, fruits, wild fish, poultry and grass fed meats) but I know this is unrealistic for most people. *So I came up with some QUICK TIPS to help you be an expert LABEL READER :)* * *Ingredients on labels are listed from highest to lowest quantity* * If the first ingredient is brown rice syrup put it back * *Look for SMALL ingredient lists (6 or less is ideal :)* * *If you can't pronounce an ingredient put it back on the shelf* * For example - say this ten times - BUTYLATED HYDROXYANISOLE or BHT used as a preservative in cereals, potato chips and chewing gum but the Health and Human Services pegged them as known carcinogens! * *Be aware of SUGAR and all it's different names!* (i.e. malt syrup, corn syrup, brown rice syrup, barley malt, cane juice, fruit juice concentrate, maple syrup and on and on....) These aliases attempt to conceal the presence of large amounts of added sugars. * 5 grams of sugar or less is a good baseline * *Stay away from FAT FREE foods because they typically have a high sugar content and often contain artificial ingredients* * Add some healthy fats into your diet such as grass fed butter, olive oil, MCT oil and coconut oil * *Organic and/or gluten-free foods does not mean it is automatically healthy for you.* * Rice flour, potato flour, cornstarch, and tapioca starch all cause spikes in blood sugar/insulin levels which encourages fat deposition. * *Watch for certain artificial sweeteners* * *Avoid* - Aspartame (in NutraSweet or Equal), Sucralose, or Acesulfam-K and Saccharin (branded as Sweet n Low) * *Use only in moderation* - Whey Low and Sugar Alcohols * *Best choice* - Raw Honey, Coconut Sugar and Stevia Leaf or Stevia drops * *Limit high sodium canned, and processed foods.* Although, it is important to have a healthy amount of salt to maintain the right balance of fluids in your body. * Adding a bit of Celtic Sea salt to your meal or water is your best alternative. * *Avoid Veggie Oils* - such as canola, soybean, corn, sunflower, peanut and safflower oil. * These veggie oils are heated at unnaturally high temps and become oxidized which can lead to inflammation and damage the cells of your body when consumed. Now take these tips and apply them to your everyday life! *But remember the best foods are the ones that don't require a label!* *Links:* *Watch Get Lean Eat Clean podcast video episodes on YouTube!* ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdFaz_7CwhxODZJXrpcFTcQ ) https://www.21dayfastingchallenge.com/ X3 Bar: Variable Resistance Technology allows for a full body workout in only 10 minutes!

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.08.03.228452v1?rss=1 Authors: Peters, K. Z., Young, A. M., McCutcheon, J. E. Abstract: Disruptions in attention, salience and increased distractibility are implicated in multiple psychiatric conditions. The ventral tegmental area (VTA) is a potential site for converging information about external stimuli and internal states to be integrated and guide adaptive behaviours. Given the dual role of dopamine signals in both driving ongoing behaviours (e.g. feeding) and monitoring salient environmental stimuli, understanding the interaction between these functions is crucial. Here we investigate VTA neuronal activity during distraction from ongoing feeding. We developed a task to assess distraction exploiting self-paced licking in rats. Rats trained to lick for saccharin were given a distraction test, in which three consecutive licks within 1 second triggered a random distractor (e.g. light and tone stimulus). On each trial they were quantified as distracted or not based on the length of their pauses in licking behaviour. We expressed GCaMP6s in VTA neurons and used fibre photometry to record calcium fluctuations during this task as a proxy for neuronal activity. Distractor stimuli caused rats to interrupt their consumption of saccharin, a behavioural effect which quickly habituated with repeat testing. VTA neural activity showed consistent increases to distractor presentations and, furthermore, these responses were greater on distracted trials compared to non-distracted trials. Interestingly, neural responses show a slower habituation than behaviour with consistent VTA responses seen to distractors even after they are no longer distracting. These data highlight the complex role of the VTA in maintaining ongoing appetitive and consummatory behaviours while also monitoring the environment for salient stimuli.

We’ve all heard sugar is bad for us. But, have you ever stopped to think about the consequences of substituting sugar for ‘DIET’ alternatives – such as those brightly colored, zero-calorie, artificial sweeteners instead? Sucralose (Splenda), Saccharin (Sweet & Low), Aspartame (Equal or NutraSweet), Stevia (Sweet Leaf), & Sugar Alcohols (like Xylitol) are hiding in too many standard American food items to count. They’ve all been made in a lab by chemists discovering how to make our food sweeter with less calories – at the expense of our long term health. Plus, we can’t deny the fact that they’ve been perfectly marketed to us as one of the most recognizable condiments available to us at almost every coffee shop and restaurant in America – for FREE. If you don’t know them by name – we can confidently assume that you know them as the little “pink, yellow and blue packets” always crammed in next to the sugar. What’s not to like about FREE stuff? Or better yet … SWEET stuff? We hope to make you stop and think about this long and hard today. Are they good for us? Are they harmless? … Is zero calories really better? We dive into all of this and more during this episode while expanding on the bigger conversation from episode 10 where we discussed Added Sugar, the popular motto YOLO & It’s Hidden Effects on Your Long-Term Health We want to give you your Power back.

*Do you take your coffee black, or do you put a little something in it? Many Americans reach for an artificial sweetener if they’re concerned about their waistlines. But it turns out, the health benefits of sugar substitutes aren’t so simple. We spoke with University of Manitoba assistant professor Meghan Azad about her meta-analysis (a study of studies) on how artificial sweeteners could actually contribute to weight gain, diabetes, and heart disease. Then, a conversation with University of California, Davis professor of American studies Carolyn Thomas about her book, Empty Pleasures: The Story of Artificial Sweeteners from Saccharin to Splenda. *

Researchers at Israel's Weizmann Institute have found that consuming non-calorie sweeteners such as saccharin instead of sugar may paradoxically promote obesity. The research is controversial because it comes as public health campaigners are exerting growing pressure on the food and drinks industry to cut the sugar content of their products. Fiona Symon spoke to Clive Cookson, FT Science correspondent, about the findings See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Saccharin podcast from Chemistry World - the magazine of the Royal Society of Chemistry
Introduction: The Disintegrating Power of Sin, The Perfect Unity of Heaven We are looking this morning at Philippians 2:1-4, at the Christian unity that’s essential to the Gospel advance. Now, on December 2nd, 1942, President Roosevelt received this cryptic message, “The Italian navigator has landed in the New World.” Of course, that hearkens back to Christopher Columbus, but that’s not what the message meant. What it meant was that Italian physicist Enrico Fermi had been able to pull off the first controlled nuclear reaction at the University of Chicago. Now, this whole project had come about as a result of a letter from Albert Einstein talking about the incredible, powerful weapons that were just around the corner in physics, in the research of physics, atomic weapons, which were unknown before, the possibility was enlightened by the Theory of Relativity and other things at the beginning of the 20th century, and Einstein felt the responsibility to write to President Roosevelt. And so the research was done. Now, the controlled nuclear reaction, what we call a chain reaction, fusion, was the breaking apart of atoms that God had put together, releasing little particles that cause other atoms to break apart and release more little particles with the tremendous release of energy, in line with the famous formula E=mc2, the energy that was released was sufficient to destroy an entire city. And so it did less than three years later, when the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, an entire city disintegrated because of this power. Now, my wife and I, and our two children that were born at the time we lived in Japan,visited the Museum of Peace and the Atomic Museum in Hiroshima. It’s really quite striking to walk through there as an American, I can assure you, and it’s very sobering, and to see the monument to eternal peace that’s set up there and to see photographs of the power of the atomic weapon. But as terrible as the consequences were of that weapon, of the atomic blast, the disintegrating power of sin has proved far greater. Sin, in a kind of a chain reaction started in the Garden of Eden with Adam, has been working its disintegrating way through human history ever since. It’s been affecting relationships ever since. It’s been destroying things, and any of you who are old enough and have been alive long enough to feel the disintegrating power of sin, you know what I’m talking about, it affects everything you do, it affects every relationship. Everything that it seems God has put together, sin works to disintegrate. I. Christian Unity: The Gospel Adorned Now, the great glory of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of integration, of unity, is far greater than the sin power of disintegration. Amen and amen. And God is putting back together and making even more glorious a universe, something that we can’t even imagine, which has been blown to bits through sin. Jesus Christ is doing that. Therefore the only true power for unity is not the United Nations, which was started in 1945 with the hope that there would never again be war on the earth. There have been 118 since then. Astonishing, millions and millions of people dying in those 118 conflicts since the beginning of the United Nations and the monument of peace at Hiroshima, however moving, has had no power to transform the hearts of people, none whatsoever, but the Gospel of Jesus Christ does. And therefore, the church of Jesus Christ and the Gospel that we preach is the only true power of unity in the human race, the only true power of unity in this dis-unified universe rocked by sin, and it will succeed. In the end there will be a glorious unity in Heaven. We can’t even imagine it. In the meantime, our practical daily expressions of unity, one with another, are essential to the advance of the Gospel. They’re essential, however imperfect, they are essential to finishing the task that Christ has given us of taking the Gospel to the ends of the earth. Our practical daily unity, Christian unity and love adorns the Gospel and makes it look beautiful and makes it look attractive. In the end, perfect unity is the purpose of the Gospel. The perfect unity of the Trinity- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, is the pattern for Christian unity. Before the universe was created God existed and has existed, eternally will exist in three persons: Father, Son and Spirit. The three persons of the Trinity existed in perfect harmony. That means they never once had a different way of looking at things. Think about that. They never once had a disagreement. In matters of principle or strategy, never, and they never will. They see everything alike. There’s not a shade or shadow of disagreement, Father, Son, and Spirit. Not one, never has been, never will be, and they had no need. Father, Son and Spirit, they did not create the universe out of need, but rather as an expression of their perfect relationship, one to another. And so the unity that is reflected in the Trinity was also reflected in the creation. When God spoke over it after all of the ordering and arranging that had been done and said it was very good. And so it was, the universe was beautiful. But then came sin, the destructive, dis-unifying power of sin entered in. Now, it started not with man, but with the devil. And I think it’s right to ascribe such passages as Isaiah 14 to his devilish ambition. We’ll talk more about that, God willing, next time that I preach. But I think it was the devil spoken of in Isaiah 14, when it says, “You said in your hearts, I will ascend to heaven. I will raise my throne above the stars of God. I will sit enthroned in the mount of assembly on the utmost heights of the sacred mountain. I will ascend above the tops of the clouds. I will make myself like the Most High.” That’s devilish ambition, isn’t it? And he sold us on it. “You will be like God, if you eat that fruit.” And so we became ambitious and sin entered the world and has been blowing to bits things ever since. Disunity and conflict soon characterized every human relationship. First, Cain killed his brother Abel out of jealousy. And it wasn’t long before every familial relationship and every relationship at all, husband and wife, parent and child, neighbor to neighbor, nation to nation was affected by this power, this dis-unifying power of sin and strife has been spreading through the world ever since, and it continues to this very day. Now, Christ’s redeeming work is to bring all things together under one head. That’s what it says in Ephesians. Ephesians 1:10, it says that the Gospel in all of its power will be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment. Has that happened yet? No. The times have not been perfected yet. But this is the goal. This is what we’re working toward, to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment, to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head. That is Christ. Speaking specifically of the saving work of Christ and dying for sinners, in John chapter 11, it says there that in verse 51 and 52, Jesus would die for the Jewish nation. And not only for that nation, but also for the scattered children of God, to bring them together and make them one. That’s the Gospel work, to take the scattered children of God and bring them together and make them one. You see the unifying power of the Gospel, and therefore perfect unity is patterned after the Trinity itself. The power of Christ’s prayer in John 17 Now, I want you to put your finger in Philippians 2, yes, we will get to it. Be patient, we’ll be there. But just take your finger or a pen, put it in Philippians 2 and go over to John Chapter 17. I’ve referred to this before, but I just really want you to see it right on the page. I have come to believe that this theme of unity, of Christian unity, is bigger than I ever thought it was. Very, very big. It is the goal of the Gospel. It’s the goal of the saving work of Jesus Christ. It’s one way to state his ultimate final goal, that God would be glorified in our perfect community centered around him. And look what it says in John 17:11, he’s praying. Now, this is, what we call Jesus’s high priestly prayer. This is the longest prayer of Jesus recorded in the Bible. And it has special interest to me, because I’ve said before and I’ll say again, theologically, I believe it is impossible for Jesus to ask for anything he doesn’t get. Let me say that again. It is theologically impossible for Jesus to ask outside the will of his Father. I can’t imagine that. And so therefore, I kind of get a pen and just go through John 17 and say, “Okay, you’ll get that. Yes, you’ll get that too. You’ll get it all.” “Father, I want those whom you have given me to be with me where I am and to see my glory.” He’ll get it. He’s going to get it all. Does that mean he’s going to get unity too? It’s in the prayer. Look at John 17:11, speaking of those that were alive in his own generation, his own Apostles, he says, “Father, Holy Father,” John 17:11, “Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name. The name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one.” Do you see that? He wants his own disciples, his apostles, that are around him there to be protected from the devil and from all the attacks, so that they can continue on in their faith in Christ and not fall away, that they might be one as he and the Father are one. Their unity patterned after the Trinity, Father, Son and Spirit. Now, look down at verse 20 and 21. Now he extends his prayer out beyond those of his own time there who were sitting around him at the Last Supper, I think, extending it out to all people, all believers of all time. He said, “My prayer,” in verse 20, “Is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message that all of them may be one, Father. Just as you are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us so that the world may believe that you sent me.” So you see the unity there is patterned after the Trinity, that our unity would be like theirs. Now, I have heard such sad exegesis on this. “Oh, isn’t it sad that Jesus doesn’t get what he asked for? Now, come on, there are so many denominations we just can’t get along. And Jesus didn’t get what he prayed for, all of those generations of disunited Christians and he didn’t get what he asked for.” Oh, that is so false. Of course, he got what he asked for. He knew what he was praying for. All of those who are truly Christians then are perfectly united now in heaven, are they not? But what I want to tell you, though, is that Jesus’ view is beyond just final perfect unity in heaven. The reason I know that is the outcome of unity. Look what he says again in verse 21, “Father, just as you are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us so that the world may believe that you sent me.” That is powerful, isn’t it? Now, keep going. Look in verse 22 and 23, “I have given them the glory that you gave me that they may be one as we are one.” Again and again, do you see it? The Trinity is the pattern of unity, nothing less. “That they may be one as we are one, I in them, and you in me, may they be brought to complete unity, to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.” Oh, wow. I’m tempted to just preach on John 17 right now. Well, we’re just looking at it briefly. We’ll go another time but here’s the point, do you see that there is an earthly impact to a process of unification that goes on, which I call sanctification? As we grow more and more like Jesus, as we put to death our sin nature, as we put to death our own feeble and earthly understandings of various texts of the Bible, as we more and more understand the truth as it’s been given to us here, we will be more and more one, one with another. We will not disagree with each other about anything. Little by little, as that gets more and more, however imperfectly reflected here on this earth, it has a great power for evangelizing a lost world. A great power for that. And this is what he has in mind, he wants perfect unity. Now, we will not be perfect in this world. We will not, but we can strive for perfect unity as the scripture defines it here again and again, “As the Father and the Son are one, so may we also be one.” In our striving for a perfect unity, the world will sit up and take notice. And you know why? Beause the world doesn’t have anything like it. I don’t care how many resolutions are passed by the United Nations or how many peace monuments there will be built, they can’t do it, because they just essentially disagree with each other and are essentially selfish. And so are we, and therefore, only as the transforming power of the Gospel, through the power of the Holy Spirit takes us over, and as we submit our minds to the Word of God and begin to think like he thinks, then little by little there’s a unity that starts to grow up. “By this will all men know, that you are my disciples if you love one another.” There’s a deep love that has a power for unity. Back to Philippians Now, go back to Philippians 2. The Philippians had a problem with unity. Now, we’ve talked about there being these two great journeys, the internal journey of holiness, so that we become more and more like Christ; the external, a journey of worldwide evangelization. Well, both of those are greatly hindered by selfishness, selfish ambition, factions, dissensions, arguments, and all those kinds of carnal things. And the Philippians had it, they had it, sadly. Even though this was clearly one of Paul’s favorite congregations, he loved them, this is a tender letter that he writes to them, a great deal of love and affection for them, they had a problem. They had a kind of a tumor at the heart of their fellowship, they had disunity. I think that this entire section from Philippians 1:27, in which he urges them to conduct themselves in a manner worthy of the Gospel, 1:27 on to the end of Chapter 2:18, that whole section is about unity. The whole thing. And I think they had a problem with unity. In 1:27-30 he says, “I will know that you stand firm in one Spirit contending as one man for the faith of the Gospel.” This is what we talked about last time. He’s concerned about their unity. Now, here in these verses 2:1-4, clearly he’s just straight out urging them and commanding them to be one with each other, to be united. And so also we see in verses 14-16 of chapter 2. 2:14 and following, he says, “Do everything without complaining or arguing.” They were complaining and they were arguing. Now, I know that you have no problems like that, but this church at least had problems with complaining and arguing. And in effect, the two journeys, the internal journey of working out your salvation with fear and trembling, growth and holiness, together with the external mission of holding out the word of life as you shine like stars in the universe, can’t be done if you’re arguing and complaining. So cut it out, that’s what he was saying. He’s saying, “You can’t grow in holiness and you cannot evangelize if you’re arguing and complaining with each other.” You can’t, so they’re having a problem. And also in chapter 4:2, we have these two ladies that we’ve talked about before and will talk about again, Euodia and Syntyche. And it says in 4:2, “I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to agree with each other in the Lord.” So they’re having trouble. There’s a faction there, there’s division, there’s problems. Now, disunity was a constant problem. It’s constantly a problem for human beings, but it’s a problem for the church. It’s always been. The Apostles were always arguing with each other, they really were. You’d think that they would love each other and get along, but it’s so embarrassing when Jesus is right there in the boat and they’re arguing about who forgot to bring the bread. And they’re hiding it from Jesus, because they know in their hearts, their conscience testifying against them, that arguing is sin. So they’re going to kind of turn their back on Jesus and go, “Da da da da. Jude, your turn to buy.” “Well, I got it last time.” And Jesus is off there praying or whatever he was doing and he says, “What are you talking about?” And they were ashamed because they were arguing. The greatest topic for arguing and conflict was which of them was the greatest. They hit that one again and again. A terrible thing. When James and John’s mother asks that her sons may sit at the right and the other left of Jesus in his Kingdom, the other 10 were indignant and very upset. They had selfish ambition, and then there are dissensions, and it happened. Where is the end of the conflict? Well, you think, “Okay, well, maybe after the cross and after the Holy Spirit, it will all end.” Did it? No, it didn’t. They continued to argue, even after that. Acts chapter 6, there was a dispute about the Greek-speaking widows and the daily distribution of food. We believe deacons and the whole servant structure got set up there. And then Acts 11, a dispute about whether Peter should have gone into a Gentile’s house. And Acts 15, a big argument about circumcision. Again and again, they were arguing in Acts. In almost every church you can mention, Galatians 5:15, it says, “If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you’ll be destroyed by each other.” That doesn’t sound good, does it? Whatever your exegesis is, that isn’t good, they’re biting each other, arguing. And Corinthians, 1 Corinthians 1:11, “My brothers, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you.” You’re bickering with each other. And then 1 Corinthians 3:3, “You are still carnal or worldly for since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere men?” You should be better than this. 2 Corinthians 12:20, he says, “I’m afraid that when I come, I may not find you as I want you to be and you may not find me as you want me to be. For I fear there may be quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, faction, slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder.” There was terrible strife and conflict in the Corinthian church. But then there’s Paul himself, who just couldn’t get along with Barnabas over the issue of John Mark. And they had such a bitter dispute that they parted company, and that was it. And Paul was wrong. So it’s easier to preach it than it is to practice it, apparently. Very, very difficult, the strife and disunity that comes in through sin. And then there’s church history, did it end with the end of the New Testament? No. Bitter conflicts, divisions, startings of whole denominations and churches right across the street from each other, as a result of this kind of strife and conflict. Martin Luther and Ulrich Zwingli on the issue of the Lord’s Supper, bitter dispute over that. The meal that should unite became a source of conflict and division. Two of the greatest men from church history, George Whitfield and John Wesley, bitter dispute over predestination. Some harsh things happened, they just couldn’t get along on that. And around the world today, still, conflicts. Now, we know the causes of disunity, the cause is sin. And they come at us in a lot of different ways, but James 3:16 says, “Where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder...” interesting word, “and every evil practice.” It’s the atomization of the world, blown to bits by sin. Disorder comes in when you have selfish ambition. Things that were together, that were harmonious, that were one, get blown apart because of selfish ambition. Sin comes in and destroys things, what’s the cost? Well, it’s difficult to stand there like a star shining in the universe as you hold out the word of life to a lost generation if meanwhile you’re bickering back and forth in the church. And how tough was it for the Philippians in that they were being persecuted? And when you’re being persecuted outside in the world by the non-Christians, and that’s something that’s not going to go away, the more faithful you are in preaching the Gospel, the more it’s going to happen. What do you need, you need a united church, essentially united, not perfectly united, but a united church so that you can lick your wounds, you can be restored, you can be renewed. That’s what the church is for, not that this would be an even worse place of dissensions and trouble and arguing and conflict, never. This is the place where you come in and get recharged, you can go back out and face a pagan world. They needed unity and so Paul is pleading with them, he’s appealing with them. II. Paul’s Appeal for Unity And so he says, verse 1, “If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from His love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit but in humility, consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests but also to the interests of others.” Now, he’s making an appeal here for unity, do you see that? A. First basis for Paul’s appeal He’s making a very strong appeal, and what is the basis of his appeal? On what is he building his appeal? A theological basis: unity in Christ. He says it right from the start here, in verse 1, “If you have any encouragement from being...” the NIV gives us, “united in Christ.” That’s not there in the Greek, but the theological concept is certainly there. “If you have any encouragement from being in Christ…” And anyone who knows anything about Paul’s theology realizes how significant the phrase “in Christ” is. That means to be a Christian but it means so much more than a shallow understanding of being a Christian. It means to be perfectly united spiritually with Christ. His death on the cross is your death. His resurrection, your resurrection. His powerful resurrected life in you. And the idea is that if you are united with Christ, I want to tell you, he is united with many other people too. You’re not his only child. And so therefore to be united with Christ, to be in Christ, means to be united with Christians all over the world, that we are one with another because we are united in Christ. And so our union with Christ spiritually, is the theological foundation of appeal to unity. Because we are one with Christ, we are truly one with another. Absolutely. B. Second basis for Paul’s appeal So, he makes a theological basis, but he also gives us an experiential basis. They have a rich experience of the Gospel’s blessings at this point. He says, “If you have any encouragements, in Christ, if you have any comfort in His love, if you have any fellowship with the Spirit, if you have any tenderness and compassion…” This is an appeal to the good things they’ve already feasted on from being Christians. You’ve experienced these good things, haven’t you? Haven’t you experienced these things? And so we could really translate, “if you have any encouragement,” really, you could translate it a little bit better, “since there is so much of,” not translate it, but understand it. “Since there is so much encouragement from being united with Christ. Since there is so much tenderness and consolation in his love. And since there is so much fellowship with the Spirit and so much tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like minded.” You see that experiential basis, and he goes through those things. Encouragement in Christ is the same word from which we get the Paraclete, the Comforter, it’s to have the comforts of being in Christ through the Holy Spirit, I believe. And then he uses the word “consolation,” really, the idea of, if you were deeply grieving and you had a dear friend who understood the situation well, they could come and put their arm around you and console you, and you would be comforted, you would be comforted, “consolation from his love”. The fact that Jesus loves you is a great consolation, isn’t it? And since you have so much of that, he says, and since you have such a perfect fellowship, a Koinonia, a sharing together in the Spirit, and since you have so much tenderness and compassion from Christ. Alright, so that’s the experiential basis. C. Third basis for Paul’s appeal He’s given them a theological basis, because you’re in Christ, you should be one. He says, since you’ve feasted so much on the Gospel, experiential basis, part two, and then thirdly he makes a personal appeal, a personal basis. “Please, make my joy complete, by being like minded.” I have a joy, Paul is saying, I really do, I have a joy that I described in Philippians 1, joy in my chains, joy in Christ, joy in suffering. But let me tell you, my joy would be so much greater, if you would stop arguing with each other. Please make my joy complete by being like minded. So, that’s a three-fold basis of his appeal here. D. The goal of Paul’s appeal Now what is the goal or nature of his appeal? He says, verse 2, “Make my joy complete by being like minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.” This is unity, and it’s not a superficial unity. Not a superficial or surface unity. This is a deep unity of mind and heart. It goes right to what you really think, what you really believe, what you really love. You have those things in common. Be like minded, he says, have the same love, be one in spirit and purpose. Jot this down on your outline if you’re taking notes, 1 Corinthians 1:10, there is a great definition of unity, and as we’ve gone through struggles as a church, this church, to try to understand true biblical unity, 1 Corinthians 1:10 became just a beacon to me of what it means for a church to be united. 1 Corinthians 1:10 says, “perfectly united in mind and thought”. That’s where we’re heading, folks, the Father and the Son are that way, aren’t they? Perfectly united in mind and thought, no disagreements. They don’t look at anything from different ways. Perfectly united in mind and thought, that is the goal. We will not reach it in this life, as we have our deep-seated convictions that are wrong. It happens, we are absolutely convinced and you’re absolutely wrong and you’ll find out, later. And I’m absolutely convinced about some things that are wrong. I was telling that to my kids and they said, “Well, why don’t you change, then?” I said, “Well,” I said, “I don’t know what they are. If I knew what they are I’d change them today with the Lord’s help.” But all of us are absolutely convinced about things that are wrong, all of us. And so then we will not be perfectly united in mind and thought, but it is a goal and we should be striving for it. That’s the unity that Paul has in mind here. Now, the focus is on the mind, isn’t it? It’s on the way we think. Everything follows this organ up here, this incredibly complex brain. The pinnacle of God’s physical creation is the human brain, immensely complex. You will not ever understand your own brain, you won’t. And he wants you to be perfectly united in the way you think, to think alike. Now, how can that be? Well, I think it happens as under the leadership of the Holy Spirit, with the theological transformation already occurring, we’re already in Christ, we’re new creations in Christ, we submit this brain constantly to the Bible. We just say, “Teach me, I’m sure I’m wrong about some things, I want to learn.” And by the Spirit, we just little by little start to see strongholds of misunderstanding get overturned, all of us are doing that, and as that happens we’re all moving toward a beautiful unity of mind, as we submit to the scripture under the leadership of the Holy Spirit. There is an agreeing, “I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to agree with each other in the Lord.” Don’t just paper it over and not talk about it anymore. That’s not what he asks for. I appeal that you would agree, work on it until you do agree. “Do nothing,” Philippians 2:3, “from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind, consider others better than yourselves.” This is going on in the mind, and therefore the only hope for true unity is the renewing of the mind in the pattern of Christ. “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” It’s a battle for the mind, brothers and sisters. The big difference between a Christian and a non-Christian in their intrinsic nature, not in the way God sees them theologically, their position, that we can talk about, but I mean in who they really are. It has to do with how they think. It’s the big difference between a Christian and a non-Christian. “Those who live according to the flesh have their mind set on what the flesh desires, and those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their mind set on what the Spirit desires. The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace.” Now, if you’re a Christian, your mind should be, and it is in many ways, controlled by the Spirit. That’s the basis of the possibility of true unity. E. The practical steps in fulfilling the appeal Now, what are the practical steps he gives in fulfilling the appeal? First, he gives them negatively things not to do. “Do nothing,” he says, “out of selfish ambition or vain conceit.” Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Now, selfish ambition is a desire for one’s own things, your own plans, your own goals, your own agenda, your own way of doing it. It’s pure selfishness. Also a desire for advancing your own position of power. That’s selfish ambition, just like the devil, and we’ll talk about that more next time. There’s a story about a godly monk who had gone out in the desert to fast and pray and grow in godliness and holiness and fight temptation and just conquer the flesh. And he was out there and was doing very well, very well, until the devil tempted him with this thought. And he whispered in his ear, “I just thought you should know your brother has become bishop of Alexandria.” And immediately his heart was filled with jealousy and he was frustrated, “Why not me? I’ve been at it longer than him. I’m a better preacher and I can...” and just it started to consume, that jealousy, selfish ambition, “Why should he get that honor? That was for me. I’m wasting my time out here in this cave. I should get back, play the political game.” Selfish ambition. And vain conceit is vainglory, “I just want you to know what I’ve done for you. I want you to honor me. I want to you to put a plaque up for me or I want you to have... I want some honor, some earthly thing for me so that I could...” Now, nobody would ever just come right out and say that, but isn’t it in there? That vainglory, that conceit, wanting to be recognized, wanting to be esteemed for who you are and what you’ve done. Just that someone would know how good you are. It’s vainglory and it’s the seat of dissensions and factions. So, that’s negatively, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit.” Positively, be humble. “Consider others better than yourselves.” Seek the things of others. Again, the focus is on the mind. Two wonderful illustrations of this First, again, from Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress, the second half, Christiana and her fellow travelers have come to the Interpreter’s House and they are clothed each one with beautiful linen garments and they look so radiant and they look so beautiful. And Bunyan writes this way, “It was fine linen, white and clean. When the women were thus adorned, they seemed to be a terror one to the other, for that they could not see the glory each one had in herself, which they could see in the other. Now therefore they began to esteem each other better than themselves. ‘For you are fairer than I am,’ said one, and, ‘Oh, you are more comely than I am,’ said the other. The children also stood amazed to see into what fashion they were brought.” Isn’t that striking? The more you know yourself, the better you know yourself to be the chief of all sinners, no one could sin more than you. Paul thought so. He said, “I am the least of all God’s people and I am the greatest of all sinners.” Do you think he was just posturing? I think he really believed it, because he was so well acquainted with his own wickedness. Meanwhile, the brothers and sisters in Christ were looking really good to him. They were role models, something to be esteemed, something to be patterned after. He loved them and just held them in honor. I think that’s what Paul’s saying here, “Consider others really to be better than you.” George Whitfield Another illustration, again from George Whitfield. I told you of the conflict he had with Wesley over predestination. It was bitter and difficult, because Whitfield had started preaching out in the fields, he had started field preaching, and had gathered a wonderful congregation of people to come listen to him preach. He went on a mission trip to America and entrusted that congregation in the field to Wesley. Wesley began to preach against Whitfield’s view of predestination and turned their hearts against Whitfield. Bitterness and problems, very public in ad hominem attacks, and it was difficult and it got difficult and it continued to be that way. And it hurt their relationship, as you could well imagine. At one point somebody asked Whitfield, “Do you think you’ll see John Wesley in Heaven?” He said, “No, I don’t.” “Really?” He said, “No, he’ll be so close to the throne and I’ll be so far away that I will not see him.” Now, if you read his journals and you read his letters, you realize that was not merely posturing on his part. He was genuinely a broken and humble man. And that’s what he felt. Now, I actually think he’s wrong. I think we’re all going to see each other in heaven. There’s going to be a perfect unity there. But I understand his point. The point is that this is a godly man, John Wesley, and he’s serving the Lord. Humility, “a gentle answer turns away wrath.” That’s the way to getting two brothers to be friends again. Humility, consider others. And then he also says, “Think of others’ needs ahead of your own.” Use your time, your energy, your money, your abilities, your gifts totally at the service of others. Set your minds on what they need and what you need, like in Les Miserables when the thief, Jean Valjean, steals silver from the godly bishop. And he’s caught and brought back and the bishop is thinking at that moment, “What does he need?” Not, “What do I need?” “He needs forgiveness from Christ. He needs those candlesticks more than I do.” It’s a way of thinking, “What are your needs?” not, “What’s my need?” That’s the recipe for perfect unity. III. Applications Now, what applications can we take from this? First, can I urge you to not be deceived by fake counterfeit unity? Saccharin. I’m not speaking against saccharin, the little pink stuff in the packets, okay? Saccharin was invented about, oh, 100 years ago, maybe more, and became popular around World War I. It’s a sugar substitute. I did some research, apparently it does not in the end cause cancer in people, that keep on using it. The fact of the matter is, saccharin has become in writing and in prose kind of a symbol for a fake sweetness. You know what I’m talking? A saccharin smile. A fake love. Well, there can be saccharin unity too. Well, if unity never gets farther than the following, you know it’s fake unity: First, for example, if Christ, the Bible, spiritual things are hardly ever mentioned, and the churches’ fellowships are mentioned only by form, (for example, prayer before meal,) you’ve got fake unity. Second, if there’s superficial affection, back slapping, jokes, flattery, sweet greetings, fake interest in conversations, but meanwhile secret jealousy when any member has an advantage, that’s fake unity. Third, if there are merely shallow discussions, such as weather, sports, current events, or even worse, gossip and slander when you get together, that’s fake unity. It’s counterfeit, it’s saccharin. It’s not the real thing. Fourth, a superficial activity calendar, in which none of the works have anything to do with the Kingdom of Heaven. They’re all about social times and eating and fun and entertainment, but there’s no genuine focus on Christ and on his work, that’s fake unity. Fifth, when there is, a low level of sacrifice for those in need within the body, you have fake unity. When people will sign a card or go to the viewing at a funeral, but they will not sit and grieve, when there are actual financial needs but there’s no sacrifice to meet them, among the body as a whole, it’s a sign of fake unity. Sixth, avoidance of hard, theological topics for the sake of the fake unity. Sweep it under the rug, don’t talk about it. Yes, we bitterly disagree, but that’s okay, we just won’t talk about it anymore. Oh, what an inroad to false doctrine the devil has. A huge tool for pouring false doctrine into a church, this fake unity. It’s an enemy of the Gospel and avoidance of anything unpleasant that might ruin the party. Wouldn’t want to do that. Seventh, therefore, also, any other disagreements. Not doctrinal but of any sort are quickly papered over, never discussed again but meanwhile there’s a root of bitterness growing up. There’s no genuine forgiveness. Eighth, heart characteristics of fake unity are really pride, self-centeredness, selfish ambitions, hostility and a keeping of a record of wrongs. Therefore, genuine unity is the mirror opposite: First, Christ, the Bible, spiritual things are central to everything. A mutual love for Christ is the center of the unity; were it not for Christ, we would know we would have little in common with some of the members of our church. But as a result, we love each other deeply. We’re talking about people from different racial backgrounds, different economic backgrounds. And we think, “How did we get to be such friends?” And the answer is, Christ has brought us together. And isn’t it beautiful? It’s a delightful thing. Second, heartfelt love, genuine, sincere love for their brothers and sisters. A deep desire for whatever may benefit them the most, a true delight in being together. I look forward to Sunday morning. I look forward to being with you. I like singing with you, better than I like singing alone. And if you heard me sing alone you’d know why. I like how you sing. And I like to sing together with you. Thirdly, discussions are heartfelt, deep and God-centered. We want to know the depths of the riches and the wisdom and the knowledge of God, his unsearchable judgments. Fourth, the activities are centered around Christ and his Kingdom. Fifth, there’s a high level of sacrifice for those in need within the group. Like Christ willing to leave a place of comfort and come down and suffer on a cross, so we also are willing not to be comfortable so that somebody who’s discomforted by life can be brought to greater comfort. That’s true unity. Sixth, an actual love and attraction for hard theological questions. Roll up your sleeves, let’s get the Bible, let’s love each other and let’s pray it through until we do understand and we do agree. And if everybody checks their egos at the door and says, “I’m sure I’m wrong about some part of this and probably right about some things and you also are in that same condition, let’s put it together and find out what the Lord is saying.” Seventh, when there is disagreement, it gets worked on through humility and prayer and genuine forgiveness, not papered over. Eighth, heart characteristics, love for God, love for neighbor as self, humility, selflessness, a servant heart. Deep thirst for perfect unity in mind and thought. Arriving at the same kind of heart unity enjoyed by the Trinity. That’s our goal. Will you pray with me for that in this church? For a genuine unity that adorns the Gospel? Will you search your own heart and ask if there’s any brother or sister in this fellowship that you’re out of fellowship with, that you’re feeling hard feelings toward. If anybody’s popping in your mind right now, it could be that the Spirit is speaking to you, that you need to pray through and bring reconciliation there. A final word to those of you who, there may be in our midst some who don’t know Jesus as your Lord and Savior. You can’t do any of these without being first united to Christ through faith. Come to Christ, let him be your substitute to take away the wrath of God, which you deserve for sin. Let him make you one, perfectly one, with this marvelous, this beautiful body of Christ.
