Youngevity Urges FDA to Require Selenium in Infant Formula

Youngevity Urges FDA to Require Selenium in Infant Formula

http://tinyurl.com/9wqbjn3

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

 Youngevity Essential Life Sciences, a wholly owned subsidiary ofYoungevity International Inc., (YGYI) (www.YGYI.com), announced that is has filed official Comments in response to the FDA’s Proposed Rule, “Infant Formula: The Addition of Minimum and Maximum Levels of Selenium to Infant Formula and Related Labeling Requirements.”

 The Proposed Rule would require inclusion of selenium in infant formula, which has now been confirmed by the FDA to be “an essential trace element for humans” adding that selenium deficiencies “may be of greatest concern in infants and children” especially to those that are entirely fed through formula. 

In support of the Proposed Rule, Youngevity and its distributors filed official Comments reiterating selenium’s integral role as part of a healthy diet. Youngevity’s Comment also relied on an evaluation by noted researcher, chemist, and scholar Dr. G.N. Schrauzer, Ph.D. who also serves on Youngevity’s Scientific Advisory Board. Citing Dr. Schrauzer’s expert opinion, Youngevity recommended that the FDA require the use of an organic form of selenium, selenomethionine, which provides greater health benefits to humans than does the mineral’s inorganic form, sodium selenate.

Youngevity has long been a strong advocate of providing the public with important, truthful information about such health benefits and this is only the latest measure taken in support of health derived from supplementation. Youngevity has already successfully petitioned the FDA to allow such claims concerning the consumption of certain omega-3 fatty acids to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease and of the consumption of selenium to reduce the risk of bladder cancer in women as well as prostate and thyroid cancers.

 Youngevity CEO, Steve Wallach, stated, “My father, and Youngevity founder, Dr. Joel Wallach, has been at the forefront of Selenium research for nearly 40 years and the Proposed Rule would only amplify the importance of mineral supplementation, especially to children who rely on infant formula as their only nutrient source.” 

The FDA will continue to accept comments on its Proposed Rule until July 1, 2013. Visitwww.youngevity.com/ for a copy of the Youngevity Comment and supporting documents.

ASAP Tips (my own personal journey from Lorra Chagrares Youngevity product user) –
When your package arrives, set a start date for the three or six week program.
The drops are to be taken under your tongue, 20 minutes after you eat or drink anything, hold for 2 minutes under your tongue, and wait 20 minutes before you eat or drink anything.
Day 1 and 2 are your loading days, while you start the drops!! Weigh and measure yourself on Day 1 and mark it on the logs. Consume at least 4,000 calories each day! A trip to Burger King for a double whopper with cheese, onion rings, and a large strawberry shake is around 2,000 calories. A blizzard from Dairy Queen (a large one) is around 1,500 calories. Just  some examples. You want to eat the foods you will miss the most. Have fun on these days, and don't worry about your weight. You will soon lose it.
Only eat the foods on the list found here: http://www.asapyoungevity.com/asap_overview.pdf
If it is not on the list, do not eat it. There is a science behind why we are allowed certain foods. No Oils! ASAP drops burn adipose fat. If you consume or topically use oils, the solution could burn those fats "first". Please refer to the list below for beauty/hygiene products safe to use on ASAP.
Days 3-23 or 3-40 are your healthy eating days, restricted caloric days. Food intake for a sedentary lifestyle, no more than 500 calories. It is highly suggested that you DO NOT exercise while on this program. Follow the list as exact as you can. The better you follow it, the better your results!
Start your nutritional products before or at least on the same day you start your ASAP drops!! Follow the instructions for the vitamins. Drink your Beyond Tangy Tangerine as often as you like. It has an appetite suppressant in it that will be most helpful, and it also gives you lots of energy. Here is more info on how to take your supplements: http://l.b5z.net/i/u/14000029/f/HSP_90_For_Life_Info_1.pdf
Do not have the same fruit/veggie/protein twice in one day. For instance, if you have chicken/spinach/apple for lunch – you need to have beef/asparagus/orange for dinner.
Measure your foods, protein allowance is 3 oz or 100 grams. Measure meat "after" it is cooked.
Do not mix your vegetables. This is important. If you have a salad, it needs to be just lettuce, not tomato and lettuce, or spinach and tomato.
Make sure you are eating 250 calories for both of your meals: http://www.thecaloriecounter.com You would be surprised at how much or how little calories are in fruits and veggies. Add more vegetable or add more fruit to your meal if necessary. Don't forget the calories in the melba, or bread stick.
- If you choose to have the melba/bread stick that is fine, but if you opt not to – please adjust your calorie count with more fruit/veggie you have chosen for that meal to equate to 250 calories.
Do take your nutrition! Beyond Tangy Tangerine is a life saver on ASAP. It helps curb your appetite, it supplies you with vitamins/minerals, and tastes great! A great way to take your nutrition:
One scoop of Beyond Tangy Tangerine, one serving Osteo fx, handful of fresh strawberries, blend with ice and serve! Delicious! Make sure strawberries is your choice for fruit for one of your meals.
Take your drops three times a day, spaced out as evenly as possible. Try not to eat or drink for 20 minutes prior to taking them, and for 20 minutes after. Morning is a good time to take your first drops, as soon as you get up before you drink anything.
Measure, and take before pics. You will be glad you did. I advise taking your pictures wearing the same outfit, in front of the same wall in your home, posing the same way.
Weigh every day – track your progress – that is the only way you will know how well you are doing, or if you are facing a stall. You can print weight/inches logs here: http://asapyoungevity.com/ASAP_Weight_Release_Log.pdf
http://asapyoungevity.com/ASAP_Inches_Release_Log.pdf
Keep a food log, it is important to track this so you can refer back to what may be the cause of a stall.
Do not start a crazy exercise routine during this period. If you are used to exercise, that is fine, and you may need to adjust your caloric amount. Please go tickover this with your sponsor, or someone knowledgeable in one of the ASAP groups. If you are not used to exercise, wait until you are in maintenance to begin. Walking, swimming is fine.
Stalls:
If your weight loss remains the same, or you gain weight, for more than two days – have a look at your food log. Make a mental note of what you ate the day or two before. You only get 26 or 43 days, so make each one count! Don't let a stall go for more than 2 days. On day #2 have an "apple day" – nothing but six apples spaced throughout the day. You can have coffee, tea, water, Beyond Tangy, and your nutrition. Sometimes your body thinks it is going into starvation mode – the sugar in the apples most always gets your body back on track. It also helps to eliminate water.
Try "smooth move" tea, for constipation.
Beauty/Hygiene:
This is a list of products that I used on ASAP – kept simple!
Baby Lotion, Ivory bath soap (can also use dial, or zest), Dial hand soap, Arm & Hammer toothpaste, Thai deodorant stick, Nature's Gate shampoo/conditioner, Alba oil free facial cleanser/moisturizer. Neutrogena also has an oil free line. I was able to get all of the products at the grocery store, except for the deodorant, shampoo/conditioner, and the Alba facial cleanser/moisturize. My local health food store carried the other products. Youngevity also makes super oil free skin care products! If you have to put your hair up in a bun for the three weeks or six weeks, it is worth it. If you have to go make-up free, it is worth it! Temporary, and worth it! J That was my thought anyway.
- Epson bath salts, are a great way to detox, and tighten skin on ASAP. Fill your tub up with hot water, as hot as you can stand it, sit in the salts for as long as you can take it. You can use a loofa to help bring toxins to the surface.
- Plant Derived Minerals through Youngevity, also work to tighten skin. When you get out of the tub, spray yourself with the minerals. Bliss!
