I'm here to tell you
that the food industry is lying to you. There are many "safe" food additives
on the market that really are NOT SAFE!! Yes, you heard me right AND I will give
you as mall list of them below to prove it.
These food additives
are literally making you sicker, robbing you of your youth, and
making you gain weight!
Food additives are man-made, synthetic chemicals used to preserve foods, make them
taste better, add supposed nutritional value and get this...THEY BYPASS YOUR HUNGER
MECHANISM MAKING YOU CRAVE MORE AND EAT MORE FOOD! Now, let's think like the
food industry for a second... If people, eat more food and increase in size,
then they will crave more
food and then we can
sell them more food! It's a great way to make money if you really think about
it. Very unethical, but brilliant.BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THIS IS HAPPENING! Look
around at the American population. Do you really think that it is coincidence
that 70% of the US is obese? By 2030, the Journal of Obesity is predicting that
90% of the United States will be obese.
Will You Be A Victim
Too?
The sad part about this
whole situation is the fact that the general public has no idea that they are
being lied to. This reminds me of a quote... "Make the lie big, make it
simple, keep saying it and eventually they will believe it"
-Adolf Hitler
the media is using
psychological marketing tactics to make you believe that foods that are
"fat free" are healthy and helping you to lose weight. Please,
please, please don't trust everything that you hear. Especially from the news,
commercials, tv, radio, etc. Their job is to capture your attention and sell you
things. Whether it be their belief systems or weight loss pills.
Alright, sorry about
all the ranting and raving. I just get so emotional about this topic because I
see people everyday in my office who suffer because they have been lied to.
The Worst Ingredients
On A Food Label
High Fructose Corn
Syrup (HFCS):This is a man
made sweetener that is cheaper to produce and actually sweeter than sugar.
There are actually new commercials touting how
healthy HFCS is. They are trying to say that it is safe
and natural.
Let me ask you this:
Can you squeeze corn syrup from corn?
Can mom make high fructose corn syrup at home?
NO!
It's a lie! Remember
the quote above?
HFCS is anything but
natural and will actually shut off your hunger mechanism allowing you to eat
without feeling full which will MAKE YOU FAT!
It is associated with blood
sugar problems (ATTENTION Moms: Childhood obesity, and Juvenile Diabetes is
on the rise! So is ADD/ADHD. HFCS is a huge culprit!)depression, fatigue, B
vitamin deficiency, indigestion and tooth decay.
HFCS is found in soda,
candy, condiments, cereals, breads, etc.
Mono Sodium Glutamate
(MSG):MSG is a food
flavoring that is notorious in chinese foods. It is also hidden in a variety of
other foods and goes by many different names: hydrolyzed vegetable protein,
hydrolyzed plant extract, plant protein extract, sodium caseinate, yeast
extract, texturized protein, autolyzed yeast, hydrolyzed oat flour, natural
flavorings and calcium caseinate to name a
few... there are dozens
more names.
MSG is the MOST addictive
substance known to man and makes you want to eat more and more! It is called an
excitotoxin because it excites your brain cells to the point that it actually
makes them explode and die. Sound like something good to put in you and your
kids bodies?
Watch out.. it is found
in everything from fast food, to kids snacks, drinks, chips, etc., allergic
reactions. (80% of people are shown to be allergic to MSG) MSG causes
headaches, itching, nausea, brain, nervous system, reproductive disorders, high
blood pressure
Artificial Sweeteners:Splenda (sucralose), Nutra-Sweet
(aspartame), Equal
(aspartame), SweetNLow
(saccharin) , sorbitol, maltodextrin, dextrose, and
acefulsame are all
falsely representing weight loss foods.
They are very toxic to
your body and will bypass your hunger mechanism,
causing you to crave
more food.
Stay away from anything
labeled fat free, lite, no fat, no calories, calorie free,
sugar free, reduced
sugar and reduced fat. Most of these
foods have been
filled with artificial
sweeteners. READ YOUR LABELS!
Is having no calories
in your "diet" drink worth the risk?
Artificial sweeteners
are linked to various cancers, blood sugar problems, central nervous system
disturbances (nutra sweet in diet coke was blamed for gulf war syndrome) and
menstrual difficulties to name a few.
Trans Fats: Partially Hydrogenated Soy Bean Oil,
margarine, hydrogenated vegetable oils are fats whose molecular structure has
been chemically altered in a lab. These are guaranteed to pack on the pounds
because your body has no idea what to do with them because they are synthetic.
These are associated with heart disease, breast and colon cancer,
atherosclerosis, high cholesterol
Food Colorings: Red Dye, Blue No 1, Yellow No 6, etc.
These are made from coal tar and are potent carcinogens, cause allergic
reactions and may contain cancer causing contaminants.
Preservatives/Additives: potassium benzoate, sulfites, nitrites,
nitrates, BHA all can cause liver damage, kidney damage, behavioral problems,
birth defects, cancers, infertility, weakened immune systems, headaches,
nausea, etc.
WOW What a list!
Let's sum everything
that we've learned today up:
*Be sure toread your
food labels!
*Be educated on what
foods will help you lose weight and which ones are
"posers"
*If the ingredient list
is long... avoid it! It will not help you lose weight and will
make you sick!
*Eat foods in their
natural state-The farther away a food is processed away from
nature, the less
healthy it is for you and the more likely it will make you fat!
*Avoid anything labeled
as fat free, no calories, low calorie, or no fat.
