Eggs shown not to raise cholesterol levels
Doc J Zimmerman discusses the benefits of eating eggs, plus other healthy news.
Heartburn and acid reflux sufferers typically take a heartburn medication such as the brand Zantac. Unfortunately, Zantac may contain a chemical called n-nitrosodiummethylamine (NDMA). The International Agency for Cancer Research classifies NDMA as a probable carcinogen, leading to abnormal tumor growths and liver abnormalities. The good news is there are natural alternatives that ease or prevent the symptoms of heart burn or acid reflux. A table spoon of pure apple cider vinegar in a glass of water has shown to reduce heartburn and acid reflux. In addition, Standard Process makes a whole foods product called Zypan that helps many of our patients with acid reflux / heart burn.
