Nothing is better than what nature has created, especially salt. Products that undergo extensive modification or laboratory processing often carry hidden side effects that take years to surface. By the time those consequences become apparent, it may already be too late for some.

Marketing and lobbying are powerful tools that large corporations use to influence public perception and protect their interests. Our best defense is to educate ourselves, question what we are told, and make informed decisions. Knowledge is our greatest tool for protecting ourselves.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently issued public health alerts and recalls involving certain ground cinnamon products because of elevated lead levels. These concerns highlight the importance of understanding not only where cinnamon comes from, but also the type, grade, form, and quality of the product you choose.

Understanding cinnamon:
CASSIA VS. CEYLON CINNAMON
Cassia cinnamon, also known as Chinese or Saigon cinnamon, comes from the bark of the Cinnamomum cassia tree. Often called "fake" cinnamon, it has a thick, hard, single-layered scroll that is dark reddish-brown. It features a strong, pungent, and warm aroma. Cassia is high in coumarin (about 5%), a natural compound that can damage the liver if consumed daily in large amounts.

Ceylon cinnamon, also known as "true" cinnamon, comes from the bark of the Cinnamomum verum tree, which is native to Sri Lanka. It is light brown, fragile, and has thin, paper-like layers. Its flavor is lighter and more delicate than cassia, with subtle sweet, citrus, and floral notes. Most importantly, it contains significantly less coumarin; as little as 0.004%, depending on the grade.

CEYLON CINNAMON GRADES
Ceylon cinnamon is divided into 10 grades, from ALBA (the highest) to Cinnamon Powder (the lowest). The full list of grades is: ALBA, C5 Special, C5, C4, M5, M4, H1, Quillings 01, Quillings 02, and Cinnamon Powder.

ALBA, the rarest and most expensive grade, accounts for less than 1% of Sri Lanka's total cinnamon harvest. It is recognizable by its pencil-thin quills and a delicate, honey-like sweetness with notes of citrus and vanilla, lacking the bitterness found in lower grades. Made from the thinnest inner bark layers, ALBA is prized for its refined aroma and has exceptionally low coumarin levels, making it the safest choice for daily consumption. Harvesting and hand-rolling these quills is a highly skilled process. A worker might produce only 7 ounces of ALBA grade per day, compared to 11 pounds for lower grades.
Due to its rarity, ALBA grade cinnamon is sometimes diluted with lower-grade bark. To ensure you're getting an authentic product, it's important to choose a trusted brand.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT FORM
When buying Ceylon cinnamon, choose sticks instead of pre-ground powder. This ensures purity, as many powders contain fillers like Cassia cinnamon, sawdust, or anti-caking agents. Stick-form Ceylon cinnamon is versatile; you can brew it as loose-leaf tea or grind it fresh as needed. Grinding it yourself also preserves its aroma, which is quickly lost in pre-ground versions.

ORGANIC VS. CONVENTIONAL
Organic cinnamon sticks have a shorter shelf life than conventional options because they aren't treated with sulfur, a preservative. A product can still be organic even if the word "organic" isn't on the front of the package. New FDA regulations require an additional U.S. certification to label the front of a package as "organic," which adds costs for the consumer. Always check the ingredient list to confirm if a product is certified organic in its country of origin.

LEAD CONTAMINATION
Many cinnamon products on the market, including both cassia and Ceylon varieties, test positive for lead. The contamination levels can vary, originating from the soil or occurring during processing and handling. Ceylon cinnamon sticks tend to have lower lead levels than powdered forms. If possible, try to access testing information for any cinnamon you purchase.

CEYLON CINNAMON BENEFITS
For thousands of years, Ceylon cinnamon has been used for medicinal purposes. Modern studies suggest it offers numerous benefits, including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory effects. It may also aid digestion, support cardiovascular health, help lower cholesterol, and assist in managing blood sugar levels, making it popular for those with type 2 diabetes.
Before consuming cinnamon daily, it's important to understand your options. High doses of coumarin, a compound found in many cinnamon varieties, can cause liver damage. Ceylon cinnamon is recommended for regular use over cassia cinnamon because it has a much lower coumarin content. While lower-grade Ceylon cinnamon is fine for occasional cooking and baking, ALBA grade Ceylon cinnamon is the safest choice for daily consumption, such as in tea.

ALBA Ceylon cinnamon cannot cure diabetes, but it can help regulate blood sugar, similar to modern medicines like metformin but with minimal side effects. Reversing diabetes requires significant lifestyle changes, and ALBA Ceylon cinnamon can make management easier. An added benefit of incorporating ALBA Ceylon cinnamon into your diet is its potential to help with other chronic conditions, such as inflammation. However, combining Ceylon cinnamon with diabetes medications like metformin can cause dangerously low blood sugar levels, so it is not recommended. Always consult your doctor and monitor your body's response closely.

I hope Netflix will consider The Tragedy of Ghost Mountain. Last night, my mother and I spoke about the horrors she lived through. My family survived that massacre, and I was just a toddler at the time. As my mother recounted our story, I picked up my phone and began recording. This was a story that needed to be preserved and shared.

The Ghost Mountain massacre was one of the darkest chapters in the history of Cambodian refugees fleeing the Khmer Rouge genocide. In 1979, tens of thousands of Cambodian refugees who had sought safety in Thailand were forced by Thai military authorities back toward Cambodia, through dangerous mountains and into areas contaminated with landmines. For many, a journey that should have led to safety became another fight for survival.

My family's experience was one of many such stories.

After escaping the genocide in Cambodia, we fled to Thailand, hoping to find refuge and eventually immigrate to North America for a safer life. Instead, we were taken to the foot of the Dangrek Mountains, along the Thai-Cambodian border.

Under armed threat, we were forced to climb toward the top of the mountain, into an area where survival was nearly impossible. International representatives were present, and some refugees were rescued by helicopter. The rest of us had no choice but to climb down the steep cliffs, clinging to trees and vines to keep from falling.

At the bottom, survival was still uncertain. People who went in search of water risked stepping on landmines. After enduring this ordeal, my family returned to Cambodia, only to try to escape once again.

These are not just stories from history books. They are the lived experiences of real people and families who suffered while searching for safety, freedom, and a future.

The Tragedy of Ghost Mountain will be difficult to watch. But some stories, however painful, must be told. They must be heard, remembered, and passed on to future generations, both to honor the victims and survivors and to ensure that such atrocities are never forgotten.

Nearly half a century has passed, yet refugees around the world still face violence, displacement, and grave danger in their search for safety. The suffering of my family and countless others should remind us that we cannot stay silent when vulnerable people are abandoned or forced into harm's way.

I share this story to bring greater international attention to this tragedy, to honor those who suffered and died, and to call on the international community and world leaders to take meaningful action to protect refugees and prevent such atrocities from happening again.

My family survived, but the memories remain. Now it is our responsibility to make sure the world remembers, too.

Some stories are painful to tell, but silence must never be the reason they are forgotten.

I decide to share a painful experience my mother recently went through; one I hope will encourage others to take a closer look at what's inside their medications.

Most people know to read ingredient labels on food. Fewer think to do the same with medications. But allergic reactions to drug ingredients can happen quickly, and in some cases, become life-threatening.

Doctors know active ingredients and their effects, but they aren't always familiar with every inactive ingredient, known as excipients or fillers, found in the medications they prescribe. These fillers can trigger adverse reactions in some people. That's what happened to my mother.

MY MOTHER'S EXPERIENCE WITH WATER PILLS

My mother takes a diuretic, a water pill, daily to manage fluid retention. Torsemide had been working well for her with no noticeable reactions.

When she was admitted to the emergency department with significant fluid buildup in her lungs, she was given Lasix (furosemide). Shortly after, she developed repeated, forceful coughing as she struggled to clear white mucus from her airways; as seen in the video.

I reviewed all her new medications and identified Lasix as the only new addition. I requested it be replaced with a higher dose of Torsemide. After the switch, her coughing subsided.

Comparing the two medications, I noticed Lasix contained talc while Torsemide did not. Of the three diuretics I reviewed: Lasix, Torsemide, and Bumex; Torsemide was the only one without talc in its formulation. I suspect my mother may be sensitive to talc. When I researched talc side effects, they closely matched my mother's adverse reaction.

A SECOND EXPERIENCE: LIQUID TYLENOL

After my mother's strokes left her with difficulty swallowing, her doctor switched her from Tylenol tablets to a liquid formulation. She soon developed a similar but milder reaction: coughing and white, saliva-like secretions.

Comparing the two formulations, I found the liquid version contained dextrose, which was absent from the tablet. This highlighted an important point: even when two formulations share the same active ingredient, their inactive ingredients can differ, and so can their effects.

WHAT THESE EXPERIENCES TAUGHT US

My mother's situation reinforced several lessons:

Watch closely when a new medication is introduced. Note any unusual symptoms, especially those appearing shortly after administration.

Review both active and inactive ingredients. Fillers, preservatives, and coloring agents are not automatically harmless for everyone.

Compare formulations. Tablets, capsules, liquids, and injectables may contain different inactive ingredients even when delivering the same drug.

Document reactions and share them with healthcare providers. Ask a pharmacist or physician to help identify possible causes and safer alternatives.

Keep a record of suspected sensitivities. This can help prevent repeated exposure to a problematic ingredient.

At the hospital, you can ask for a full ingredient list for any medication being considered. The hospital pharmacist is a valuable resource for this information.

The core message is straightforward: don't overlook inactive ingredients. Understanding what's inside a medication, not just its name or active ingredient, can be an important step in protecting yourself and those you care for.

My mother's experience showed that being informed and attentive can make a real difference. Sometimes, one extra question and a closer look at the label is all it takes.

Does Sugar Really "FEED" Cancer?

It depends on the kind of sugar. Not all sugars are created equal. How a sugar is grown, produced, and processed plays a real role in how it behaves once it enters our bodies.

Consider an ancient sugar like Palmyra palm sugar. Traditionally, it comes from the flower sap of wild-grown Palmyra palm trees, remarkable trees that can live for a century and often take around 15 years before they even begin producing sap. The sap is hand-harvested from trees soaring as high as 80 feet, then gently boiled down into sugar. No additives. No heavy processing. Just patience and craft passed down through generations.

Palmyra palm sugar has nourished traditional diets for thousands of years. In all that time, I have not come across historical evidence linking its everyday use to the modern diseases we so often blame on sugar. Moderation, of course, remains key with any food.

THE WHOLE STORY BEHIND SUGAR

Scientists frequently tell us that the body processes all sugars in essentially the same way. From a basic biochemical standpoint, that may be true, but I don't believe it tells the whole story. The food matrix, the level of processing, the nutrients that travel alongside the sugar, and even how we consume it can all shape its effect on the body.

Claiming that all sugars are identical because they break down into similar molecules is a little like saying sunlight and vitamin D in a bottle are the same thing, simply because sunlight helps our bodies make vitamin D. The end result may overlap, but the biological journey to get there is far more complex.

WHERE THE REAL CONCERN LIES

For me, the deeper worry isn't natural sugar itself, it's the hidden artificial and ultra-processed sweeteners buried in processed foods. That distinction matters enormously.

For anyone living with cancer, I believe it's best to step away from processed foods altogether and return to cooking fresh meals at home. This doesn't mean giving up every pleasure. You can still enjoy a moderate sweet treat by choosing a healthier sugar and staying mindful of how much you use.

Cancer care is rarely about one thing alone. It draws on many pillars: diet, emotional wellbeing, mental strength, and medicine, whether traditional or modern, according to what each person values. Depriving yourself of small joys, like the sweet treats so many of us love, doesn't support that healing process. If anything, comfort has its own quiet power.

THE EMPOWERING TRUTH

There is almost always a healthier option waiting to be found. It simply comes down to educating yourself, understanding what's in your food, and making an informed choice.

Knowledge is your greatest tool. Choose with intention, savor with peace of mind, and let your food work with your body, not against it.

There are more than 2,000 varieties of palm trees around the world. When we hear concerns about palm trees and deforestation, it is important to understand that the primary issue involves oil-producing palm varieties, especially those used for palm oil extraction. Demand for palm oil is extremely high because it is used across many industries, from food and cosmetics to household and personal-care products.

Several palm varieties are well known for human consumption, including date palms, coconut palms, and Palmyra palms. Palmyra palms have been growing largely wild in Cambodia for centuries, if not thousands of years.

The sugars produced from these different palms are not the same. Their taste, texture, aroma, production methods, and nutritional profiles can vary significantly.

Date sugar is made from the whole date fruit rather than from sap. Because it comes from the fruit, its texture, flavor, and nutritional characteristics are naturally different from sugars made from palm sap.

Coconut sugar, when made from the flower sap, can also be labor-intensive and expensive because the sap must be carefully collected. However, it is generally more affordable than Palmyra palm sugar because coconut palms can be cultivated in dwarf varieties, making harvesting much easier. Coconut palms also produce coconut water, which is sometimes used in food production or combined with coconut sap.

Palmyra palm sugar, on the other hand, is made only from the sap of the palm's flower. In Cambodia, the traditional harvesting process is extremely labor-intensive. The flower sap must be collected by hand, often from trees that can reach around 80 feet in height. Unlike coconut palms, Palmyra palms cannot simply be cultivated as dwarf varieties to make harvesting easier.

This traditional harvesting method, combined with the natural growing conditions and the distinctive flavor and aroma of Palmyra palm sugar, contributes to its higher cost.

So when comparing palm sugars, it is important to look beyond the word palm. Not all palm trees, and not all palm sugars, are the same. The species, part of the tree used, harvesting method, processing, and growing practices all matter.

Not All "Natural" Sweeteners Are Created Equal

Marketing has a way of making things sound wholesome. A leaf here, a fruit there, a clean green label; and suddenly a product feels like a gift from nature itself. But most of us never see what happens behind closed doors, where these ingredients are processed long before they reach the shelf. Today, I want to focus on just two: Monk Fruit and Stevia. Refined white and brown sugar, along with the other sweeteners, deserve a post of their own.

Stevia and Monk Fruit are only truly beneficial in their natural, original forms. The highly refined versions you find in stores have been stripped of much of what the plant naturally offers, leaving behind mostly the sweet compounds; often alongside additives or processing residues. The result is a product that can taste far sweeter than genuinely natural sweeteners like Palmyra palm sugar or maple sugar.

So why doesn't your blood sugar spike after you eat them? Because your body doesn't process or even recognize these compounds the way it handles natural sugars. That may sound like a win, but it comes with a hidden catch. Without the usual rise in blood sugar, you can end up eating far more than you realize.

This is where we need to slow down and think. Just because a sweetener comes from a natural source doesn't automatically make it healthy. What really matters is how it's processed and what's left in the final product. In the end, "natural" doesn't always mean "good." Quality and the degree of processing matter just as much, if not more.

When ultra-processed ingredients hide behind the word "innovation," things can get dangerous. In many cases, they become silent, long-term threats; quietly causing harm over years, without anyone noticing. And sometimes, by the time science catches up and confirms that an ingredient may contribute to disease, it's already too late for some people.

Now compare that to Palmyra palm sugar. It's natural, minimally processed, and carries a low glycemic index. People have used it for thousands of years. Yet you rarely hear sweeteners like this mentioned in conversations about diabetes the way innovative sugars are.

So perhaps it's worth pausing to ask ourselves: why is that?

WHY YOU SHOULD AVOID ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS

Take a walk down any grocery aisle and you'll find them hiding in plain sight. Diet sodas, sugar-free snacks, protein bars, flavored yogurts; artificial sweeteners have quietly slipped into the everyday foods we trust. They promise all the sweetness with none of the guilt. But the more researchers dig, the clearer it becomes: these synthetic sugar substitutes may not be the harmless swap we've been sold.

WHAT ARE ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS?
Artificial sweeteners are lab-made compounds built to imitate the taste of sugar without the calories. You've likely met the usual suspects: aspartame (the stuff in Diet Coke), sucralose (Splenda), saccharin (Sweet'N Low), and acesulfame potassium.

What makes them powerful is their intensity. These compounds can be hundreds, sometimes thousands, of times sweeter than table sugar. A pinch does the work of a spoonful. That potency is exactly why they slip so easily into processed foods, and also why your body may struggle to make sense of them.

THE HIDDEN HEALTH RISKS
They may be calorie-free, but "calorie-free" doesn't mean consequence-free. Here are five reasons to think twice before reaching for that sugar-free label.

1. THEY MAY DISRUPT YOUR GUT HEALTH
Deep inside your digestive system lives a bustling community of bacteria: your gut microbiome. It quietly shapes your digestion, your immunity, and your overall well-being. And artificial sweeteners can throw it off balance.

A 2022 study published in Cell found that sweeteners like saccharin and sucralose altered gut bacteria in ways that could trigger glucose intolerance and metabolic problems. In other words, the very shortcut meant to protect your health may be quietly working against it.

2. THY CAN INCREASE SUGAR CRAVINGS
Here's the irony: reaching for artificial sweeteners may leave you craving more sugar, not less. Because these compounds are so intensely sweet, they can overwhelm your taste receptors over time. Naturally sweet foods, a ripe strawberry, a slice of mango, start to taste dull by comparison. So you chase stronger, sweeter hits, and the cycle tightens.

3. THEY MAY BE LINKED TO WEIGHT GAIN
Most people turn to artificial sweeteners to shed pounds. Yet the research suggests they may do the opposite. A long-term study in the Canadian Medical Association Journal linked regular consumption of artificial sweeteners to increased body weight, a wider waistline, and a higher risk of obesity. The "diet" choice, it seems, can quietly backfire.

4. THEY MAY RAISE YOUR RISK OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE
The stakes go beyond the scale. A large-scale study by French researchers found that people who consumed higher amounts of artificial sweeteners, especially aspartame and acesulfame potassium, faced a significantly greater risk of cardiovascular disease, including heart attacks and strokes.

5. THEY MAY AFFECT BLOOD SUGAR REGULATION
You'd expect a sugar-free product to leave your blood sugar untouched. Not quite. Some research shows artificial sweeteners can still influence your insulin response and blood sugar levels. For anyone living with diabetes, or at risk of developing it, that's a warning worth heeding.

A QUICK NOTE ON “NATURAL” ULTRA-PROCESSED SWEETENERS

Not everything marketed as natural earns the title. Sweeteners like Stevia, Monk Fruit, Allulose, Sweelin, and Erythritol may start from natural sources, but many undergo heavy processing before they reach your table. They deserve a closer, honest look, a full topic I'll unpack another day.

NATURAL ALTERNATIVES TO CONSIDER

If you want to ease off sugar without leaning on artificial or ultra-processed options, nature offers gentler choices. Enjoy them in moderation:

RAW HONEY – Still a sugar, yes, but raw honey brings antioxidants to the table and carries a lower glycemic index than refined sugar when used sparingly. It's also one of the most widely adulterated foods in the world, a topic worth exploring on its own.

PALMYRA PALMYRA SUGAR – A standout worth savoring. Harvested from the sap of the Palmyra palm flower, it's minimally processed and low on the glycemic index. What sets it apart is its richness: it's packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, offering real nourishment alongside its warm, caramel-like sweetness. It's a rare example of a sweetener that gives back more than it takes.

MAPLE SUGAR – A lightly processed option that holds onto trace minerals and antioxidants, with a distinctive, mellow flavor.

THE BOTTOM LINE
Artificial and ultra-processed sweeteners look like a guilt-free way to satisfy your sweet tooth. But the evidence tells a different story. From unsettling your gut microbiome to fueling cravings, contributing to weight gain, and straining your heart, these synthetic substitutes may cost you far more than they save.
Choose real, nourishing sweeteners like Palmyra palm sugar, used mindfully, and gradually reduce your dependence on sweetness altogether. Your body will thank you for it.

09/20/2026

We rarely notice the good things in our lives until they slip away. When something comes easily, or when we have more than enough, we stop seeing its worth. Abundance dulls our attention. Familiarity quietly erodes our gratitude.

This truth touches everything on Earth: the people around us, the relationships we build, the things we own, the natural world, the knowledge we inherit, and the choices we make together.

PEOPLE: We overlook the good people in our lives because we assume they will always be there. We lean on their kindness, borrow their patience, and forget to say thank you. Then one day they are gone, and we finally understand what we had.

RELATIONSHIPS: A strong relationship survives on effort from everyone involved. But comfort makes us lazy. We stop listening, stop trying, stop showing up. Respect, care, and understanding are not single gestures. They are daily choices we renew again and again.

MATERIAL POSSESSIONS: We spend carelessly on things we treat as disposable, forgetting the hours and sweat it took to earn that money. We chase more, gather more, and often our excess becomes a weight the planet has to carry.

ENVIRONMENT: Nature gives us everything we need to live: clean air, fresh water, fertile soil, and food that fills our plates. In return, we take and take, draining her resources and pushing entire ecosystems past the point of recovery. Humanity keeps borrowing from the Earth without paying it back. One day, there may be nothing left to take.

KNOWLEDGE: Our ancestors fought to protect what they learned, carving their wisdom into stone so it could survive the centuries. Yet we neglect that inheritance, erase it, or trade it away for the newest tool; only to grow anxious when our technology races ahead of our understanding. Knowledge is a gift meant to be guarded and handed forward, not lost.

POLITICS: What unfolds around us today asks us to pause and consider what we have ignored for too long. The consequences of our decisions can take years to undo, and some wounds never fully heal.

So take a moment to consider what you have right now: the people around you, the comfort you enjoy, the world that sustains you. Recognize their true value. Be grateful while you still can. Gratitude that comes too late is simply regret.

09/19/2026

A friend recently asked me how I manage to stay so calm with everything happening in my life right now.

My answer is simple: I set my expectations low enough to remind myself that things could always be worse.

Some of you may know my current situation. My mom has survived six heart attacks and a dozen strokes, and I spent nearly two months at the hospital by her side. Then sciatica hit me, and I was bedridden for almost two months of my own. Just as I was beginning to feel a little better, my mom fell and broke her ankle. While she is still in the hospital, something else happened.

This is the perfect definition of "when it rains, it pours."

For some people, these events might feel like the sky is falling. Some may fall into depression, while others may feel like giving up. But for me, it comes down to perspective.

I grew up in refugee camps where dirt was our floor and palm leaves were our roof. Every morning, I stood in line to receive a little meat and some vegetables to make it through the day.

When my mom and I immigrated to Montreal, Canada, we arrived with just two suitcases of belongings. We had no education, no skills, couldn't speak French, and had no money.

Yet, we survived.

Today, I have experience, skills, education, and connections. If I can't start over when necessary, then I have to ask myself: What have I learned from everything I've been through?

Every time I think I've made it through the challenges, even harder ones seem to come my way; sometimes several at once. There are moments when I feel the challenges are simply too much. But that's when I shift my perspective.

I remind myself that I am more powerful than I think I am.

Life has taught me that we often discover our strength only when we're pushed beyond what we thought we could handle. The challenges may not get easier, but our ability to face them can grow.

I believe the universe never gives you more than you can handle.

And when life feels overwhelming, I remind myself where I started, how far I've come, and how much I've already survived.

Sometimes, staying calm isn't about having an easy life. It's about knowing you've survived difficult times before; and trusting that you'll find your way through again.
