Ideas are Dime a Dozen, Action is Priceless

A high-powered sports car has a tremendous amount of potential energy, but cannot leave the starting gate until someone turns on its ignition. The powerful engines of a wide-bodied jet cannot lift that plane one inch off the ground without someone activating its controls. If you are going to wait to feel "right" about doing something, or for someone to motivate you, it may never happen. A self-starter knows that there is never a "right" time to get started. Too many people sit around waiting to be motivated-as if there were some chemical reaction about to take place. The self-starter acts on his/her goals, and knows that 'time kills deals.' The time is right now.

"I never worry about action, but only inaction." -Winston Churchill

Crystalline Fructose

 

 

Efusjon is sweetened with Crystalline Fructose

Metagenics, Inc. August 2004 Fructose ("fruit sugar") is an all-natural compound found in many fruits and vegetables. Although fructose is sweeter than glucose or sucrose, its glycemic index (GI)—the extent to which it affects an individual's blood glucose levels immediately after ingestion—is much lower than that of glucose or sucrose. In fact, fructose is known to have the lowest GI of any of the simple sugars.1 Because pure, crystalline fructose results in lower blood glucose levels after ingestion, it has long been considered the preferred sweetener for individuals with diabetes and other insulin-related problems.2,3

Fructose as Part of a Healthy Diet When consumed as part of a low-GI diet, no adverse effects have been associated with modest fructose intake. Quite the contrary, research demonstrates that moderate levels of fructose—when substituted for sucrose and glucose in a low-GI diet—can improve insulin sensitivity and glycemic control in both healthy and diabetic individuals.4-11 Because fructose is sweeter than glucose or sucrose, less fructose—and therefore fewer calories—are required for the same sweetness effect.

When analyzing the effects of fructose intake, factors such as dietary composition (including total glycemic load), nutritional status, and genetic uniqueness must be considered before reaching concrete conclusions on the metabolic effects of fructose. The recent widespread use of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS)—as opposed to crystalline fructose—in many common food products has led to confusion regarding the potentially adverse physiological effects of fructose ingestion. Because the differences between HFCS and crystalline fructose are often undisclosed, many of the negative findings related to elevated HFCS consumption are mistakenly associated with crystalline fructose.

Crystalline Fructose versus HFCS Before conclusions regarding the safety of fructose consumption can be made, two significant distinctions between crystalline fructose and HFCS must be noted.

1. HFCS is manufactured from cornstarch after the removal of protein and fiber. The cornstarch is hydrolyzed to form dextrose, which then undergoes an isomerization process to yield different forms of HFCS that vary depending on the final fructose content. HFCS therefore contains other components in addition to fructose, the majority of which is glucose with minor contributions of other substances including maltose, maltotriose, and polydextrose. In contrast, crystalline fructose is purified and does not contain appreciable amounts of other components.
2. An excessive intake of HFCS is easily achieved and is relatively common today due to the high per-serving content of HFCS in many popular food items.
Research has shown a direct correlation between high levels of dietary HFCS and the prevalence of metabolic changes. Crystalline fructose, on the other hand, is usually found in or added to certain foods in much lower levels.
 

CONCLUSION: Due to the varying structural features and average intake levels of HFCS and crystalline fructose, the physiological results of HFCS consumption differ from those of crystalline fructose consumption. For example, when patients with type 2 diabetes were given equicaloric amounts of HFCS or fructose, blood glucose and insulin levels were significantly increased with the HFCS over the fructose.12,13 Therefore, it is important to identify studies using non-HFCS sources of fructose to accurately assess the effects of fructose in humans.

Since many factors can influence blood glucose and insulin responses, the best course of action for individuals that are sensitive to sugars is to choose products—such as pure, crystalline fructose—that have been tested and shown to have a low GI response when consumed in moderation.1

Spring Training

Thank you Executives for taking the time to clear the air and spread the word. From the newspaper article read today, let's continue the momentum this spring!

As Babe Ruth once said, "The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together, the club won't be worth a dime."

Go efusjon Home Run Club!

going back to what originally made this opportunity so wonderful

Hello efusjon Team,

The March Madness is finally setting in…and we’re excited to rock and roll! The last 24 hours have been full of excitement about the positive changes that are taking place. Today we want to provide you with a quick recap of the conference call from Rob Towles that we posted yesterday, along with some other updates.

Conference Call Recap

If you haven’t had a chance yet to listen to the conference call with efusjon President & CEO Rob Towles, follow this link to listen or download at your convenience: http://www.myefusjon.com/events.asp. Here is a summary of the announcements that he made:

- We’re going back to what originally made this opportunity so wonderful and that is the ability to enable each and every distributor to truly pay it forward. We want everyone to help one another to achieve success, and therefore we have re-implemented the 4.25% compensation plan. We still guarantee a 50% payout to the field on all matrix sales volume which means that there could be a variance higher or lower than the 4.25% for any given month. We have also enhanced the Ignite Associate Product Volume Bonus which is now $100 for each new personal enrollee who purchases $120 in product volume.

Here are the 4 ways to get paid:

1. Sell/Retail your efusjon products (earn 4.25%)

2. Ignite Associate Product Volume Bonus (earn $100 per new personally-enrolled Associate who purchases $120 in product volume)

3. Personal Enrollee sales volume (earn 4.25%)

4. Community Overlap sales volume (earn 4.25%)

***Download our updated compensation plan PDF here: http://www.efusjon.com/assets/pdfs/compplan.pdf

- Along with the theme of “Getting Back to Basics”, we will no longer be awarding the Top 30 Bonus Pool. We want to give each new Distributor an equal opportunity to make money and achieve success, and we want to continue to motivate others to pay it forward.

- We also will no longer be continuing the monthly compression cycle. Although it was a somewhat effective way to compress the associates within your matrix, we are sorry for the frustration and confusion that it caused for a lot of you. We don’t want you to have to worry from month to month about who will be in your downline and who will disappear due to compression. We want you to be able to form strong bonds of friendship with other business associates who can then work together with you to help others. This can only be achieved with consistency in your matrix so that you know who you can work with. Please note that we committed the cycle yesterday for the month of February so, as always, you may possibly see some attrition within your downline but this is not due to compression.

- We know that a lot of you are very excited about the shots that were discussed at our event in January. We want to let you know that our goals moving forward are to focus on creating some outstanding business building tools for you and also creating a new and enhanced website that is much more comprehensive. After these goals are accomplished we will continue where we left off with the new shots.

We definitely appreciate all of you who have stuck with us through the ups and downs and all of the changes. You are amazing individuals!

Achievement

Great leaders are constantly teaching those around them how to respond to the forces of life. In order to have successful achievement you must use & coordinate three things. Thoughts, feelings and actions. Thoughts are your life energy. Keep them positive and flowing. Feelings keep your thoughts alive, encourage more positive thoughts, and get the body moving. Action is important to accomplish the physical tasks necessary for all achievements.
