POPSSeeing Through Industrial Food’s 'Personal Responsibility' Smoke Screen Many processed foods available today are filled with empty calories that contribute to our weight, and therefore health, problems. We have drifted away from actually cooking home meals using the same whole foods that food processors use but without all the additives, preservatives and processing that degrades the nutrition we all need. In the name of convenience were are literally starving our bodies of what is really needed and we are propping up pro food to continue on this destructive path. Let’s get reacquainted with in-home food preparation, even if its only one day a week, and tell pro food to start taking some responsibility in its part to help keep us healthy.

POPSThe Seven Most Dangerous Ingredients in Conventional Foods 3) Excitotoxins -- aspartame, monosodium glutamate and others (see below). These neurotoxic chemical additives directly harm nerve cells, over-exciting them to the point of cell death, according to Dr. Russell Blaylock. They're found in diet soda, canned soup, salad dressing, breakfast sausage and even many manufactured vegetarian foods. They're used to add flavor to over-processed, boring foods that have had the life cooked out of them.

POPSResearchers find possible environmental causees for Alzheimer's, diabetes, Parkinson's More: Nitrites and nitrates belong to a class of chemical compounds that have been found to be harmful to humans and animals. More than 90 percent of these compounds that have been tested have been determined to be carcinogenic in various organs. They are found in many food products, including fried bacon, cured meats and cheese products as well as beer and water. Exposure also occurs through manufacturing and processing of rubber and latex products, as well as fertilizers, pesticides and cosmetics.

POPSHidden Link Between Factory Farms and Human Illness http://www.motherearthnews.com/Natural-Health/Me This is particularly troubling because of the rapid rise of antibiotic-resistant microbes, an inevitable consequence of the widespread use of antibiotics as feed additives in industrial livestock operations. than 350 professional organizations have called for greater regulation of antibiotic use in livestock. The Infectious Diseases Society of America has declared antibiotic-resistant infections an epidemic in the United States. The FAO recently warned that global industrial meat production poses a serious threat to human health. This article contains some very interesting and scary facts we all need to know. I really am not of an alarmist nature, but I urge everyone to read this.

POPSFood additive ties to lung cancer If you have to add some inorganic material to food to get you to eat it then why eat it in the first place? The bottom line is that processed foods present as much danger as smoking and excessive drinking. Scientists want to determine what is a safe level of inorganic phosphates in the diet. Here’s my answer: zero.

POPSA Plan to Add 12 Points to Everyone's IQ with Food Additives Of course, the next enhancer to come along might be distributed as unequally as iodized salt has. Right now, most developed countries have iodized salt, and many developing ones don't. Once the whole world has been iodine-enhanced, it's very possible that the richest nations will get salt that contains nutrients that boost IQs by 50 points, and therefore increases incomes respectively

POPSHow much sodium are you really getting? Sodium in food comes from ingredients other than table salt, including monosodium glutamate, baking soda, sodium nitrate and other additives; only about 10 percent of the sodium people consume occurs naturally. The American Medical Association has estimated that 150,000 lives could be saved each year if Americans cut their salt intake in half, and the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a consumer watchdog group, has petitioned the Food and Drug Administration to regulate salt in foods. So, we either eat what tastes good one day and eat nothing for a couple of days to counteract the impact or we eat bland food every day for the rest of our 'healthy' lives. Or, we can say the hell with it and just enjoy any food we like and take pills for high blood pressure. I'll bet Big Pharma salivates over this option. Who wants to live forever anyway?

POPSSlick-A** Pet Food Labeling They do the same thing with human food. I love K. Trudeau's "Natural Cures..." advice -- If it comes from a publicly traded company, don't buy it. (Of course that almost precludes shopping in grocery stores)
