Halloween sugar, food additives and the commercialization of holidays

Halloween, my dear friends, is the big kick-off of a season of massive caloric intake where we gulp our way through Thanksgiving, Christmas and Near Year's, treated by an endless buffet of sugars, chemical additives, processed food and saturated fats. If processed food made people smart, America would be the land of sheer genius. But, alas, it seems to have the opposite effect.

They think it must be natural and contain no chemical additives or taste enhancers. This simply isn't true. There are hundreds of products sold at health food stores and grocery stores that do contain these chemical additives, and the worst offender of all is an ingredient called yeast extract. This ingredient has only one purpose in foods: To deliver free glutamic acid, or free glutamate, to your tongue. The idea is to mimic the chemistry and function of monosodium glutamate, or MSG, an ingredient that has been classified as an excitotoxin.

Detoxify Your Kitchen I recommend cleaning out your kitchen and throwing away foods containing suspicious ingredients—coloring agents, chemical additives, and preservatives (you'll know them when you can't pronounce them). Get rid of the Hamburger Helper. Besides being full of unnecessary and unhealthy ingredients, these types of foods add no nutritional value. Usually the fewer ingredients the better. It is better to get real butter than margarine, better to get real sugar than artificial sweeteners, and so on. Just use them in moderation.

K9 Gourmet only uses human grade ingredients and there are no chemical additives, by-products, preservatives, dyes, salt, or sugar. Natura Pet Products was founded by John and Ann Rademakers and Peter Atkins in Santa Clara, California. It produces a line of dry and canned foods for dogs and cats. They use only human-grade food, and their bottomline is, "If I wouldn't eat it, why would I want to feed it to my pet?" There are no artificial preservatives, colors or additives, and they pay attention to quality control. This is another food that I have fed my pets.

Soups: Canned, creamed, dehydrated with chemical additives, instant, or powdered. Fruit: Canned, frozen, sprayed, sugared, preserved. Sliced and left exposed to the air. Picked and shipped green or unripe. Sulfured or artificially colored, or treated with preservatives. Juices (fruit and vegetable): Canned or frozen concentrates. Sugared or artificially sweetened. No synthetic, instant, powdered juices. NUTRITIONAL HOME RUNS TO HEALTH In a baseball game, there is nothing that wins the game faster than home-runs. It's the same in winning the health game.
This means getting all the right nutrients and enzymes, having the right environment, and avoiding those things that tend to depress immunity such as: household cleaners, the overuse of antibiotics and drugs, pesticides, chemical additives present in the foods we eat, exposure to environmental pollutants, and stress. Lowered immunity results in impaired healing ability and lowered defense against infection.

Most packaged food items, especially those targeted toward our children, are filled with preservatives, chemical additives, and coloring agents which research has shown contribute to attention deficit problems. The recipes starting on page 241 will show you how to saute your vegetables with water instead of resorting to high-fat, low-quality oils. When you do use an oil, try to use extra virgin olive oil or canola oil. Nuts, seeds, and avocados are all excellent sources of healthy oils, but you'll want to consume them in moderation due to their high fat content.

All raw foods contain enzymes; it is what we do to food that destroys them. chemical additives, radiation, and exposure to oxygen kills enzymes. Fluorides and nicotine are two of the strongest killers of enzymes. However, the main enzyme killer is heat from cooking. Enzymes are destroyed when food is heated above H2-120°f (44-49°fc). When we eat cooked food, the body needs to draw nutrients from its own tissue reserves to manufacture digestive enzymes.
Caffeine, nicotine, sugar, table salt, red meats (to a large extent), strong spices, chocolate (made with sugar), trans fats and hydrogenated oils, fried foods, dairy products (except unsalted butter in moderation), refined grains and flours and their products, nonorganic-source or high potency or synthetic vitamin and mineral supplements, 'enriched' foods and foods with chemical additives. Genetically altered foods. ?Cereals, grains, and seeds that are processed, boxed, puffed, flaked. Roasted commercial cereals. Cereals with sugar. White rice. Roasted and/or salted or rancid seeds.

Asthma Controlled Naturally: Techniques That Work

Dr Ron Roberts
See book keywords and concepts
Soil depletion, food processing, chemical additives, pesticide residues, toxic emissions, stress, emotional trauma and the overuse of drugs all increase our need for additional micro-nutrients to ensure a healthy life. This need for added nutrients is much greater today than it was in past generations. Today's crops tend to be grown on mineral-depleted soils using artificial fertilisers, then manufactured with an eye towards appearance and processed to have a long shelf-life. During manufacture, many foods are refined to such a degree that most of their nutritional value is lost.
Be careful, though, as many mains water supplies are contaminated and contain inorganic substances such as lead, cadmium and chemical additives that impair our immune system. Invest in a water filter system—there are many inexpensive ones now available—and taste the difference. Try to drink at least half the recommended 6-7 glasses of liquid daily as pure water. Limit alcohol and caffeine consumption. Keep up the recommended level of liquid, too, especially as you grow older, when the thirst drive diminishes: your body's need for water does not.

Rapp says, "your child should eat only organically grown food because it is less contaminated with pesticides, food coloring or other chemical additives that may be causing adverse reactions. However, in some places, it remains difficult—and expensive—to buy foods uncontaminated by chemicals. I encourage people to grow their own vegetables so that they will have their own source in the winter and one which they know does not contain any chemicals.

He showed me all of this wonderful organic food and even the growing number of natural cosmetics that are being made with organic herbs and without chemical additives, and their natural and organic meats and seafood and produce. He turned to me and said, 'Then, when I get to the vitamin section, all of this completely disappears.' What he meant was, the vitamins and minerals being sold today are largely synthetic. Once our vitamin and mineral supplements were fashioned from whole foods such as cereal grasses, and they were packed with organic whole food goodness.

Agricultural toxins like pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, as well as synthetic chemical additives (including hormones and antibiotics) that change our foods at the source—on the farm in soils and animals—continue to be a major concern, so much so that organic foods are quickly becoming mainstream across America in most regular grocery stores now that we are demanding higher-quality products. I just hope that federal regulators continue to keep the standards high when it comes to the term organic.

Revolutionary laundry soap product grows on trees, replaces laundry detergent with eco-friendly solution

They are chemical additives used to create the illusion of cleaning action. (Silly consumers actually expect suds, so the manufacturers add them in.) Fragrance chemicals that make laundry "smell" clean. Most commercial laundry products use toxic, synthetic fragrance chemicals that are, in fact, well known to promote cancer and liver disorders. Laundry products are not really regulated by any single government agency, and there is currently no law banning the use of known cancer-causing chemicals in laundry products (much like with cosmetics).

It does not take much to see that human well being has been breached by the air we breathe, the water we drink, by medicines and vaccines administered to us (medicines and vaccines we are encouraged to believe that we need in order to stay healthy), by mercury fillings in our mouths, and clearly by many chemical additives, some of which are "undocumented", that are routinely placed in our food. At least 2,800 substances have been recognized as food additives by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

What is far more important today is the avoidance of chemicals?both chemical additives and residual chemicals. "For children I think it is imperative to get organic fruits and fruit juices even if you can't do anything more than this. From the figures I've seen, fruit and fruit juice tend to be more highly contaminated with pesticide residues than other classes of foods. Children eat more fruit and drink by far more fruit juice than adults. From this source alone, they could very easily ingest toxic levels of pesticide residues." The third aspect of treatment is nutritional supplementation.

After some experimentation, his parents decided it was best to continue the entire family on a diet that is free of sugar and chemical additives, as well as avoiding milk and dairy and using wheat only occasionally. They continued his multiple vitamin-mineral, vitamin Bf„ magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids. Jeremy's in the fifth grade now, and has had no further hyperactivity problems. DR. GABY'S COMMENTARY A Consequence of Modern Living? Whenever the prevalence of a disorder has been increasing rapidly, it is logical to look for the cause in our changing environment.
Food Additives Modern processed foods contain so many chemical additives that it is impossible to determine all the effects they have on our bodies. Studies have implicated artificial colorings as a triggering factor for hyperactivity in children; tar-trazine (Yellow Dye #5) and sulfites as factors in asthma; sodium benzoate as a cause of hives; and the artificial sweetener aspartame as a cause of a wide range of symptoms in susceptible individuals.
Beneficial Foods A health-promoting diet should consist of a wide variety of whole, unprocessed foods that are free of chemical additives and, if possible, grown without the use of pesticides. Such a diet generally includes liberal amounts of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes. For most people, animal foods such as eggs, fish, chicken, and beef may be healthy in moderation. Of course, as most vegetarians have shown, good health can be maintained without eating animal foods.

I don't necessarily blame the company, though: It's very difficult to keep raw food from going bad, especially if you don't use chemical additives. So just remember that this is real food, and it doesn't have the shelf life of a Snickers bar or other dead, processed foods. When you buy live foods, remember to eat them before you lose 'em!

I exposed the fact that attention deficit disorder or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder was simply a "made up syndrome" caused primarily from growth hormones in meat and dairy, food dyes, chemical additives and preservatives, artificial sweeteners, and specifically manufactured sugars such as high fructose corn syrup. I was fully aware that these learning disabilities were labels put on children who had symptoms that were being specifically manufactured so that the kids could be drugged and kept stupid. Exposing this secret outraged those in government.

And they're clipping coupons for grocery store products that not only lack any sort of basic nutrition, but actually poison their minds and bodies with chemical additives. Too mind-numbed to protest This explains why there's no outrage from people, even though there are atrocities and crimes against humanity being perpetrated by the FDA, drug companies and food manufacturers. There's no march on Washington. There are no protests outside the FDA headquarters. People have been lulled asleep.

Healthy foods are actually cheaper than popular manufactured foods

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
All of these chemical additives are in these foods. Sometimes, I look in people's carts and I can't find one thing in there that's natural. There's not one thing in there that's from nature, nothing that's healthy. There’s not even a bottle of water in there. There’s not one fruit, vegetable, nut or seed. Your grocery receipt tells your health future I wish I had some way to show these people a flashcard and they would instantly just get it. They would get the idea that all of that disease they're experiencing is directly a result of these foods in their grocery cart.

Some children react to artificial colorings, particularly tartrazine (Yellow Dye #5) and other synthetic chemical additives. A substantial proportion of children are allergic to common foods, such as milk, wheat, egg, corn, or citrus. Others react to a group of naturally-occurring food-derived chemicals called salicylates.2 Foods high in salicylates include tea; certain fruits, vegetables, and nuts; honey; and some spices. Planning a low-salicylate diet is rather complicated, and requires the help of a dietitian. In my office, I teach parents how to put their child on an elimination diet.

I talk about honest companies like Amy's Kitchen, making organic frozen foods that are healthy and don't contain chemical additives, or Peaceful Planet, making wonderful rice protein energy shakes. Then there are companies like Lydia's Organics -- a small outfit making the best portable health food I've ever seen -- and Food for Life, which makes Ezekiel breads, tortillas and cereals. There are probably hundreds of other companies I've mentioned or covered in my articles and reporting.

On balance, cooking was probably beneficial during the 'prechemical' stage of nutrition, for chemical additives were not available and thus could not react with food during the cooking process. The Agricultural Era About 10,000 years ago, the introduction of herding and cropping secured a stable supply of large quantities of food and made man less dependent on gathering and hunting in the wild. There was no change in food technology except for storage. It was now possible to store grain for several years.
