The new "dirty dozen" list of produce

The new "dirty dozen" list of produce. If you are wondering, like I am, about what to eat because of all the toxic chemicals, GMOs, unsanitary food storage facilities that house foods before they get to the supermarkets, then you are probably as freaked out as I am finding myself to be.   A food storage facility in the Sacramento area was "busted" very recently, and it's filthy condition was shown on local TV.  The facility is next door to a toxic chemical site.  Debris was strewn everywhere on the property. 


http://shine.yahoo.com/event/green/the-new-quot-dirty-dozen-quot-list-of-produce-2496191
"A new report published by the Environmental Working Group (EWG) might make you re-think that "apple a day" -- if it's conventionally grown using pesticides.
According to the group's annual "dirty dozen" list of fruits and vegetables with the highest pesticide residues, apples ranked number one as the most-contaminated item, up from number four last year.
Other changes from the 2010 findings: this year, cherries dropped off the list, and lettuce, previously absent, now appears at number 11. The EWG uses data compiled by the USDA to produce these findings."
Dirty Dozen 2011

1. Apples
2. Celery
3. Strawberries
4. Peaches
5. Spinach
6. Nectarines (imported)
7. Grapes (imported)
8. Sweet bell peppers
9. Potatoes
10. Blueberries (domestic)
11. Lettuce
12. Kale/collard greens

"The "clean fifteen" are also included in the report - these are fruits and veggies with the lowest levels of pesticides so there's no need to waste your money on organic versions. Some popular items include watermelon and avocado.
The EWG points out that if consumers simply chose their daily recommended five servings of fruit and vegetables from the least contaminated list over five from the dirty dozen, they would reduce the amount of pesticides ingested by 92% - without having to shell out extra money for organics.
Clean Fifteen 2011

1. Onions
2. Sweet corn
3. Pineapples
4. Avocado
5. Asparagus
6. Sweet peas
7. Mangoes
8. Eggplants
9. Cantaloupe (domestic)
10. Kiwi
11. Cabbage
12. Watermelon
13. Sweet potatoes
14. Grapefruit
15. Mushrooms

Pesticides on produce
Conventional farmers use an arsenal of pesticides to protect their crops from insects, bacteria, rodents, molds, and fungi. These substances can end up in the food supply. Washing and peeling fruit and vegetables can lower pesticide residues, but not necessarily. When the USDA tests for pesticides, they wash and peel fruit the same way a typical consumer would.
The National Institute of Environmental Health Servicesacknowledges that scientists do not have a full understanding of the health risks associated with exposure to agricultural pesticide residues through food, soil, water, or air. They also report that farmers who use pesticides experience an increase in neurological symptoms and that the harmful effects on children are greater than on adults.
Recent studies indicate that pregnant women should also be careful of their exposure to pesticides. Three studies published in 2011 in the Journal of Environmental Health Perspectives suggest pesticide exposure can harm the developing fetal brain.
Organic vs. conventional produce
Organic produce is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. However, organics can be harder to find and prohibitively expensive. If you are concerned about consuming pesticides, the EWG's dirty dozen and clean fifteen lists can help you make the safest and most affordable choices."


The new "dirty dozen" list of produce. If organic produce is out of your budget range, then the suggestions offered herein by the author are rational choices to avoid the poisons that are in nearly everything we find in the market.  Personally, I have gone to "drinking my lunch and dinner" using fruit or carrot juices to which I add organically grown whole food powders mixed in with a dose of liquid minerals.  I add whey protein to my bright green drink, or, when I feel the need for a serving of organic beef or chicken I don't hesitate to prepare a burger or so. Gone as well are all the GMO wheat products and cereal products that kept my body in a constant state of inflammation. I am so much healthier than I have been in a long time, and the excess weight is simply melting off.  


One other thing I may add is this:  "eat in season".  My personal physician suggested that this was the optimal course to avoid many diseases that harbor in the produce that is grown in other countries.  Out of season stuff in stores during the winter months in the Northern Hemisphere.  

Are you eating pesticides? Canola oil, soybean oil used as key ingredients in pesticide products

Are you eating pesticides? Canola oil, soybean oil used as key ingredients in pesticide products. For a number of years I was using Canola oil in my kitchen.  I wondered why I developed a stomach ache and worse each time I ate any food cooked in that oil.  Deciding that enough was enough, I researched the oil online after reading an article in Natural News some time ago.  In addition to Mike Adams' excellent blog on these topics, I found a host of other articles on these two oils that made me race to my kitchen and pour out the oils remaining there.  


I switched to pure organic virgin coconut oil, as well as pure organic virgin olive oil, that I purchase online at this website:  http://tropicaltraditions.com (no, I don't receive a cent from them), and all my gastrointestinal problems disappeared.  Read this article on Canola and Soybean oil, both of which come from GMO rapeseed and soybean.  I guarantee you will be shocked at what you find out.

"Are you eating pesticides? Canola oil, soybean oil used as key ingredients in pesticide products   by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor"

"(NaturalNews) In a shocking new video, Mike Adams (the Health Ranger) reveals that common cooking oils such as canola oil and soybean oil are used as key active ingredients in pesticide products because they work so effectively to kill bugs. The video shows how one pesticide product that kills insects is made with 96% canola oil and is so dangerous that the label says, "Hazards to humans and domestic animals."

"The label of the product, made almost entirely with canola oil, goes on to explain "CAUTION: Avoid contact with skin or clothing." If you get it on yourself, you are directed to take off all your contaminated clothing, take a 15-20 minute shower to rinse the canola oil off your skin, and then "Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice."

Watch the short video at NaturalNews.TV:

http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=AEE77...

"Again, this is a for an insecticide that's made of 96% canola oil -- an oil that's found throughout the food supply and especially in products such as salad dressings and snack chips. Canola oil is also in ingredient often used in so-called "vegetable oil" shown on the ingredients label."

"This canola oil-based pesticide also says on the label: "Environmental Hazards: Do not apply directly to water. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment..."

Soybean oil also an active pesticide ingredient

"The chemical company Bayer also makes a "natural" insect killing product called Natria. It's most prominent active ingredient? Soybean oil (most of which is almost certainly genetically modified).

Much like canola oil, soybean oil is nearly ubiquitous in the U.S. food supply, being found in countless manufactured food items sold at grocery stores everywhere. In his video, Adams asks the obvious question: If these oils kill insects so effectively, and if they are harmful to pets, skin and the environment, why are we eating them as part of our daily diet?

Adams also suggests that if you want a low-cost but highly-effective natural pesticide, just buy canola oil from your grocery store and spray that on bugs. "We've tested it and it really works to kill bugs," Adams says. Plus, it's less than half the cost of the natural pesticide products made almost entirely with canola oil."

The video is available at:

http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=AEE77..."


Are you eating pesticides? Canola oil, soybean oil used as key ingredients in pesticide products.  Mike Adams is a very special person who is doing all he can to raise the consciousness about the poisonous foods we are eating, and to help us with pure alternatives that can help restore health and wellness overall.  

15 Reasons to Eat Organic Food

15 Reasons to Eat Organic Food shows you why your health is improved by eating organically grown food.  Many folks say they can't afford to eat organic, but the counter argument is to take a close look at the health problems that cost you enormous amounts of money for doctors and clinics to heal you.  What a trade off! 


 http://www.care2.com/greenliving/15-reasons-to-eat-organic-food.html


"1. In study after study, research from independent organizations consistently shows organic food is higher in nutrients than traditional foods. Research shows that organic produce is higher in vitamin C, antioxidants, and the minerals calcium, iron, chromium, and magnesium.
2. They’re free of neurotoxins–toxins that are damaging to brain and nerve cells. A commonly-used class of pesticides called organophosphates was originally developed as a toxic nerve agent during World War I. When there was no longer a need for them in warfare, industry adapted them to kill pests on foods. Many pesticides are still considered neurotoxins.
3. They’re supportive of growing children’s brains and bodies. Children’s growing brains and bodies are far more susceptible to toxins than adults. Choosing organic helps feed their bodies without the exposure to pesticides and genetically-modified organisms, both of which have a relatively short history of use (and therefore safety).


4. They are real food, not pesticide factories. Eighteen percent of all genetically-modified seeds (and therefore foods that grow from them) are engineered to produce their own pesticides. Research shows that these seeds may continue producing pesticides inside your body once you’ve eaten the food grown from them! Foods that are actually pesticide factories…no thanks.
5. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that pesticides pollute the primary drinking source for half the American population. Organic farming is the best solution to the problem. Buying organic helps reduce pollution in our drinking water.
6. Organic food is earth-supportive (when big business keeps their hands out of it). Organic food production has been around for thousands of years and is the sustainable choice for the future. Compare that to modern agricultural practices that are destructive of the environment through widespread use of herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, and fertilizers and have resulted in drastic environmental damage in many parts of the world.


http://www.care2.com/greenliving/15-reasons-to-eat-organic-food.html


7. Organic food choices grown on small-scale organic farms help ensure independent family farmers can create a livelihood. Consider it the domestic version of fair trade.
8. Most organic food simply tastes better than the pesticide-grown counterparts."

Monsanto trying to take over world seed supply, nation by nation

If nothing frightens you, think about this:  as each day passes, more and more foods that you eat are GMO foods.   The foods of the future will ALL be GMO food.  Yummy, think about those viruses, bacteria and other toxins used in bio-engineered food that reside in you, babies and children, right now.  It is nearly impossible to wrap your head around WHY would anyone want to ruin food that was perfectly fine in it's original state as God created it.  


Now, unless it is organically grown from pure, non GMO seeds, the food that you eat  poisons you and creates all sorts of health issues over time.   You have to ask what foods do the bio-engineers and Monsanto executives eat?  If they eat their own bio-engineered foods, then they are attacked by the same toxins in GMO foods as the rest of us.  Is this stupid or what?


Some stories I have read on this topic state that there is a seed bank of natural seeds that is held in a secure place and owned by Monsanto and their cronies.  Fact or fiction, I cannot say.  But, to quote an old saying:  "where there is smoke there is fire".

"(NaturalNews) He who controls the seed controls the food supply; and he who controls the food supply controls the world. There is no question that Monsanto is on a mission to monopolize the conventional seed market. In fact, they are steadfastly working towards the goal of creating a world where 100% of all commercial seeds are genetically modified and patented- basically a world where natural seeds are extinct.(http://www.naturalnews.com/029325_M...)"


"Unfortunately for the global community Monsanto is accomplishing their purpose. They currently own 90% of the world's patents for GMO seed including cotton, soybeans, corn, sugar beets and canola. (http://www.guardian.co.uk/environme...

"Monsanto's product has changed from poison to food, but it has held true to its history of violating the rights and health of people around the globe. Monsanto is a 100% committed to the sale of their seeds of destruction no matter what it takes: bullying, infiltration of high government offices with company friendly individuals, or intimidation. The organic movement has taken up the standard against Monsanto's machinations in court as well as through grassroots education and activist efforts. The organic revolution is Monsanto's Achilles heel, and its goal is a world without Monsanto."


Below you will find a number of links that document these facts.  I hope that you will find yourself well informed after reading about this horror story that we are all finding ourselves unwilling participants in and victims of immense corporate greed and evil.

Roots of Foodborne Illness Health Threats from Domestic and Imported Produce

Roots of Foodborne Illness  Health Threats from Domestic and Imported Produce.  "Produce can become contaminated by infected food workers; in the farm environment; through irrigation waters; during processing and packaging, particularly of ready-to-eat items".  This is an ever increasing threat to our health not only here in the USA, but worldwide, as we have seen so recently in Germany.


http://www.nyas.org/Publications/EBriefings/Detail.aspx?cid=d8f46e08-453f-463a-861d-f5df074b760b


Speakers: Michael Doyle (University of Georgia), Robert Tauxe (CDC), Robert Buchanan (FDA), Chuck Gerba (University of Arizona), Ewen Todd (MSU)Presented by the Emerging Infectious Diseases Discussion Group

 Overview

The number of reported foodborne outbreaks attributable to fruits and vegetables has been rising in recent years, both in the United States and abroad. It's difficult to determine the reason for the rise in outbreaks because virtually every aspect of the produce industry has changed during the past 20 years... to discuss foodborne illness."


"In the United States, domestic produce is contaminated mainly by animals, leading to E. coli and Salmonella infections; imported foods are also associated with human pathogens—e.g., Shigella, Norovirus, and Hepatitis A. New infections are emerging in other countries, such as foodborne Chagas disease."


"Produce can become contaminated by infected food workers; in the farm environment; through irrigation waters; during processing and packaging, particularly of ready-to-eat items. Food safety efforts are ongoing, but much remains to be done; ideally, scientists need to find ways to prevent contamination before it occurs."


Roots of Foodborne Illness  Health Threats from Domestic and Imported Produce is something that everyone must take very seriously.  During the past year, spinach and other packaged greens have been found to contain e.coli in samples. They were removed from the market place during the investigation of what causative factors were indicated in the contamination of fresh produce.  


One of the things I do is to dilute a cup of apple cider vinegar in a large bowl of cold water, and soak the produce for 5 minutes or so,  (even organically grown produce) to "detox" it from chemical pesticides, fertilizers and any potential pathogens.  I then drain it, fill the bowl with cold water again and soak the produce for another minute or two. Then I give it a final rinse and place it in a salad spinner to make sure all water is removed before serving either cooked or raw.

Anti-foaming agent found in Chicken McNuggets Dimethylpolysiloxane,TBHQ, PMDS used to treat head lice!

Anti-foaming agent found in Chicken McNuggets  Dimethylpolysiloxane,TBHQ, PMDS, and more !  Think about all the children throughout America who are eating Chicken McNuggets today.  These facts have come directly from the McDonald website information, and reported in Natural News.  Is there any wonder that our kids are having behavioral and health issues that costs parents and insurance companies countless amounts of money?   McDonald's is using petroleum derivatives and other chemicals that belong in industrial applications, not in what people eat.   


Read what the "chicken" in Chicken McNuggets contains: Pesticides, vaccines, hormones that is in the fed given to the chickens used for this "food".  


"(NaturalNews) Ever wonder what's really found in Chicken McNuggets? Some of the ingredients, it turns out, seem to belong more to an industrial factory of some kind, not a food retailer. According to the McDonald's Corporation, its famous Chicken McNuggets are made with ingredients including autolyzed yeast extract (which contain free glutamate, similar to MSG), sodium phosphates and sodium aluminum phosphate. But that's not the freaky part. According to McDonald's own website, Chicken McNuggets are also made with "hydrogenated soybean oil with TBHQ and citric acid added to preserve freshness" and "Dimethylpolysiloxane added as an antifoaming agent." (http://nutrition.mcdonalds.com/nutr...)"


"At least two of these ingredients are artificially synthesized industrial chemicals. TBHQ, a petroleum derivative, is used as a stabilizer in perfumes, resins, varnishes and oil field chemicals. Laboratory studies have linked it to stomach tumors. "At higher doses, it has some negative health effects on lab animals, such as producing precursors to stomach tumors and damage to DNA. A number of studies have shown that prolonged exposure to high doses of TBHQ may be carcinogenic, especially for stomach tumors." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TBHQ)


http://www.naturalnews.com/032820_Chicken_McNuggets_ingredients.html


Dimethylpolysiloxane, a type of silicone, is used in caulks and sealants, as a filler for breast implants, and as key ingredient in Silly Putty. Says Wikipedia:


"PDMS is also used as a component in silicone grease and other silicone based lubricants, as well as in defoaming agents, mold release agents, damping fluids, heat transfer fluids, polishes, cosmetics, hair conditioners and other applications. PDMS has also been used as a filler fluid in breast implants, although this practice has decreased somewhat, due to safety concerns. PDMS is used variously in the cosmetic and consumer product industry as well. For example, PDMS can be used in the treatment of head lice..." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimeth...)"


"And what about the chicken in Chicken McNuggets? It's factory-farmed chicken, not free-range chicken. So it's the kind of chicken that's typically treated with vaccines and hormones while being fed conventional feed products that are medicated with pharmaceuticals and grown with pesticides."


"Yum!! Don't forget to ask for extra dipping sauce. We haven't even talked about what you'll find in there..."

This "Miracle Health Food" Has Been Linked to Brain Damage and Breast Cancer - SOY!

This "Miracle Health Food" Has Been Linked to Brain Damage and Breast Cancer.  Oh Goodie!  Pass me the soy bar and a glass of soy milk.  Recall those TV commercials that show a young woman joyously twirling around with a soy bar in her hand while music plays and her eye rolling, grinning face suggests she is over the moon happy to be eating it?   Read Dr. Mercola's article, link below, and see for yourself the obvious connection between unfermented, genetically modified soy products and a host of diseases listed therein. Including breast cancer.


"If you were to carefully review the thousands of studies published on soy, I strongly believe you would reach the same conclusion as I have—which is, the risks of consuming unfermented soy products FAR outweigh any possible benefits.


"For centuries, Asian people have been consuming fermented soy products such as natto, tempeh, and soy sauce, and enjoying the health benefits. Fermented soy does not wreak havoc on your body like unfermented soy products do.
Unfortunately, many Americans who are committed to healthy lifestyles have been hoodwinked and manipulated into believing that unfermented and processed soy products like soymilk, soy cheese, soy burgers and soy ice cream are good for them."


http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/09/18/soy-can-damage-your-health.aspx


"Dr. Kaayla Daniel, author of The Whole Soy Story, points out thousands of studies linking soy to malnutrition, digestive distress, immune-system breakdown, thyroid dysfunction, cognitive decline, reproductive disorders and infertility—even cancer and heart disease.
Here is just a sampling of the health effects that have been linked to soy consumption:"

• Breast cancer
• Brain damage
• Infant abnormalities
• Thyroid disorders
• Kidney stones
• Immune system impairment
• Severe, potentially fatal food allergies
• Impaired fertility
• Danger during pregnancy and nursing

"Soy proponents will argue that soy-based foods (they lump the fermented ones with the unfermented) will protect you from everything from colon, prostate and breast cancer to strokes, osteoporosis, and asthma.  But said enthusiasts never mention the studies that illuminate soy’s downside and all of the dangers posed to your health, which are based on sound research."


"91 percent of soy grown in the US is genetically modified (GM). The genetic modification is done to impart resistance to the toxic herbicide Roundup. While this is meant to increase farming efficiency and provide you with less expensive soy, the downside is that your soy is loaded with this toxic pesticide. The plants also contain genes from bacteria that produce a protein that has never been part of the human food supply."


"GM soy has been linked to an increase in allergies. Disturbingly, the only published human feeding study on GM foods ever conducted verified that the gene inserted into GM soy transfers into the DNA of our gut bacteria and continues to function. This means that years after you stop eating GM soy, you may still have a potentially allergenic protein continuously being produced in your intestines."


This "Miracle Health Food" Has Been Linked to Brain Damage and Breast Cancer should turn people off to soy products permanently.  Considering that "91% of soy grown in the US is Genetically Modified", and loaded with pesticides and bacteria that should NEVER be in any kind of food, EVER, may help people dedicated to a healthy lifestyle rethink this topic entirely.

Exposed - The dirty little secret of the meat industry - MEAT GLUE! from pig blood plasma

Exposed - The dirty little secret of the meat industry.  This article makes me so sick to my stomach that I can hardly bear to think about the burgers and sausages and maybe even steaks or roasts that I have purchased and consumed.  The Food Industry is so full of corruption and deceit, there is no way that I will believe their claims of food safety any longer.  The only way to guarantee you are getting real beef is to raise the steer, butcher it and use it knowing the source and exactly what you are eating.  Forget trusting your local grocery store.  Most likely they are also kept in total ignorance of this vile practice.

"(NaturalNews) Are you eating meat cemented together by "meat glue"? It may sound shocking and far-fetched to most people, but a recent news story covered by the Australian Today Tonight show unveils how the meat you're eating could be made up of scraps glued together to form a deceptively "normal" piece of meat."


"Just as big pharma supplies dangerous substances to countless people worldwide, the meat industry may not be far behind in such nefarious deeds. Using a special product called "meat glue", meat suppliers have been caught using meat scraps, too small to sell, to create normal sized portions of meat for distribution. This misleading sales tactic is so effective that even experts can't tell the difference between a regular piece of meat and a piece of meat tainted with "meat glue".

What exactly is "meat glue"?"


"Meat glue is an enzyme known as transglutaminase. According to the report, many meat glues are created by cultivating bacteria. As shocking as it may sound, other meat glues are made from the blood plasma of pigs and cows, specifically the coagulant that makes blood clot. This "special enzyme" is so toxic that people working with the product must use masks as to not breathe it in. If meat suppliers are allowed to put it in our meat for us to eat, why can't they breathe it in?"

Exposed - The dirty little secret of the meat industry.  I wonder how many illnesses that people are dealing with now that confound doctors and baffle scientists are due to the filthy dealings of the food industry?  Such horrific practices that includes putting pig blood and other contaminants into "meats" such as this article outlines.  As stated above, the transglutaminase is so toxic that workers in the food plants can't breathe it in!  Just think of the viruses, bacteria, and other diseases from cross contamination of feeding cattle "reprocessed" chicken feces as food (see my blog article on this) that we are blithely eating, while thinking our food is safe.  

Japanese Scientist Creates Meat Using Human Feces

Japanese Scientist Creates Meat Using Human Feces.   Anyone willing to bet that it won't be long before American scientists decide to follow suit?   The mere thought of this poop burger makes my skin crawl, and my gut roil with repulsion.  Considering how the food corporations lie to consumers about their food products, one such example: fake blueberries that are made of chemicals that are in your corn flakes, the question becomes:  How will we know if the ground meat or "beef patties" sold in stores or restaurants in the not too distant future is real beef or poop?  


"It's being called the "poop burger". Japanese scientists have found a way to create artificial meat from sewage containing human feces."


"Japanese scientists have found a way to create artificial meat using sewage containing human feces. The scientists claim that they have even created edible steaks from the biological concoction. Mitsuyuki Ikeda, a researcher from the Okayama Laboratory, lead the discovery after Tokyo Sewage approached him regarding an overabundance of sewage mud. Asked to explore the possible uses for the waste, Ikeda found that the mud contained a great deal of protein due to the high bacteria content."


http://naturalsociety.com/japanese-scientist-creates-meat-using-human-feces/


"The researchers then extracted those proteins, combined them with a reaction enhancer and put it in an exploder which created the artificial steak. The “meat” is 63% proteins, 25% carbohydrates, 3% lipids and 9% minerals. The researchers color the poop meat red with food coloring and enhance the flavor with soy protein. Initial tests have people saying it even tastes like beef."


Japanese Scientist Creates Meat Using Human Feces.  Would you care to be one of those people who taste test the poop burger?  Shudder.

MRSA ‘Superbug’ Bacteria Found in Detroit Meat

If the facts outlined in articles on GMOs aren't enough to give you chills over the "Frankenfoods" we are consuming,  this one will do it.  We are human guinea pigs at the mercy of the food corporations, processors, and bio-engineers of mass destruction.  Meat and poultry have long been exposed as sources of human illnesses due to antibiotic misuse, growth hormones, vaccines, filthy feed and slaughter lots, and cruel practices of caging animals who become so crippled that they can't stand upright.  Those foods are then shipped to markets for consumers, who are kept ignorant of the health risks from eating these contaminated foods.   

"First they were riding on bedbugs. Now, drug-resistant superbugs are showing up in supermarket meat. Raw beef, chicken and turkey from Detroit grocery stores contained methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a sinister strain of bacteria that doesn’t respond to typical antibiotics, researchers reported..."  MRSA ‘Superbug’ Bacteria Found in Detroit Meat


http://naturalsociety.com/mrsa-superbug-bacteria-found-in-detroit-meat/


“We’ve known for a long time that raw meat and poultry purchased in supermarkets can be contaminated with bugs that can make us sick, like salmonella and E. coli. As long as we clean our hands and our utensils and we cook the food, we kill the bacteria,” said Dr. William Schaffner, chair of preventive medicine at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville. “Even though this is a new bug, that shouldn’t change anything. It should just reinforce all those messages.”


MRSA ‘Superbug’ Bacteria Found in Detroit Meat  is an eye opener for us.  The food options are increasingly limited as we face an escalating food crisis brought about by contamination and genetic modification.  One choice present to us is to spend the extra money on organic meats and poultry free of chemical manipulations and horrific food processing conditions.   Many of these franken foods are made of scraps collected from the filthy floors of slaughter houses. They are made into a paste which is then formed into beef patties or chicken nuggets, sausages, etc.  and sold to the consumer.   I have a number of resources archived on these specific topics and will be posting more shortly. 

Processed Meat Unsafe For Human Consumption; Cancer Experts Warn of Dietary Dangers

 Processed Meat Unsafe For Human Consumption; Cancer Experts Warn of Dietary Dangers. As this nation becomes more and more demanding in their "need" for grab and go, food corporations find new ways to market their toxic, chemically loaded, dead foods to live people.  How often is the tired excuse that we are too busy to cook, or too frazzled by demands of kids whose schedules are crammed full of activities, used to justify the absence of a home cooked meal?  


Rather than a family gathering around the dinner table where wholesome fresh foods are served, they have become a treat rather than a daily event.  TV commercials woo customers into the notion that eating fast food in the car is the "modern" way of life.  Children have become the "spokespersons" for those media campaigns because the corporations are aware that whatever the kids want, the parents will cave in and buy, regardless of the threat those foods pose to health in both the short and the long term.  

"Hundreds of cancer researchers took part in a five-year project spanning more than 7,000 clinical studies and designed to document the links between diet and cancer. Their conclusion, published in the World Cancer Research Fund's report, Food, Nutrition, Physical Activity and the Prevention of Cancer: a Global Perspective (2007), has rocked the health world with a declaration that all people should immediately stop buying and eating processed meat products and that all processed meat should be avoided for life!"


"Processed meats, the report explains, are simply too dangerous for human consumption. And why? Because they contain chemical additives that are known to greatly increase the risk of various cancers, including colorectal cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, leukemia, brain tumors, pancreatic cancer and many more."


"Processed meat has many ingredients and is usually packaged for long-term shelf life. These products almost always contain sodium nitrite, the cancer-causing chemical additive that meat companies use as a color fixer to turn their meat products a bright red "fresh-looking" color. Processed meat products include:

• Bacon
• Sausage
• Pepperoni
• Beef jerky
• Deli slices
• Hot dogs
• Sandwich meat (including those served at restaurants)
• Ham
• Meat "gift" products like Christmas sausages
• Meat used in canned soups
• Meat used in frozen pizza
• Meat used in kid's lunch products
• Meat used in ravioli, spaghetti or Italian pasta products

Sodium nitrite makes the meat look red and fresh. (But it promotes cancer.)
MSG makes the meat taste savory. (But it causes neurological disorders.)
Processed salt makes the meat taste more interesting. (But it causes nutritional problems and high blood pressure.)


On top of these three chemical additives, processed meats also contain saturated animal fat that is often contaminated with PCBs, heavy metals, pesticide residues and other dangerous substances.

If the list of chemical additives in processed meats hasn't made you feel nauseated after reading it, try eliminating this garbage from your diet for a month or so and eat fresh, wholesome foods.  See how you feel energy wise and notice how your health improves overall.  I know that it worked for my family.   Processed Meat Unsafe For Human Consumption; Cancer Experts Warn of Dietary Dangers

Disposable coffee cups, carryout containers filled with cancer-causing agent

Disposable coffee cups, carryout containers filled with cancer-causing agents is not a pleasant thought when starting a day with a chemical loaded  plastic or styrofoam cup of latte. Or, perhaps, the styrofoam container that holds carry out lunch or dinner. The more I research these food issues, the sicker I feel as I realize that we are guinea pigs for corporations who care nothing about consumer health and well being.  Including their own health and that of their families'.  Just about everyone in this country drinks out of styrofoam at some point in time.

(NaturalNews) Millions of people eat and drink from plastic and styrofoam cups and containers every single day, and the US government now admits that many of these consumer products contain known cancer-causing agents. The formaldehyde preservatives found in many disposable coffee cups and foam take-out containers, as well as styrene, another chemical additive used in such products, have both been added to the federal government's list of known or suspected carcinogens.

The chemical industry was quick to denounce the findings, of course, claiming that there is no significant danger from exposure to these chemicals. And some federal officials seem to be kowtowing to this pressure by telling the public that the main concern is the industrial use of these chemicals, rather than consumer use. Even the American Cancer Society (ACS) has urged the public not to worry about continuing to use plastic cups or foam containers, despite the fact that many are loaded with some of the chemicals in question.

Talk about denial!  It is dismaying that the American Cancer Society is enabling the continuation of this problem.  Disposable coffee cups, carryout containers filled with cancer-causing agent.  Very disappointing, but not surprising.

True fact: A common ingredient in commercial breads is derived from human hair harvested in China

One has to ask this question:  Is NO ONE manufacturing this product thinking about the viruses and other diseases, chemicals, medications, pests, diet, recreational drugs, sanitary conditions of people living in China and India where this hair is being harvested?  Are the scientists even slightly concerned that hair contains the health history of the people who "donated" their hair, (dead or alive)?  Are they aware that an assay of health issues can be made from hair samples?  Then WHY on earth would they choose to manufacture a "nutritional supplement"  from such a "resource"?  Do they have no concern for their own health or that of their families and humanity overall?   True fact: A common ingredient in commercial breads is derived from human hair harvested in China

"NaturalNews) If you read the ingredients label on a loaf of bread, you will usually find an ingredient listed there as L-cysteine. This is a non-amino acid added to many baked goods as a dough conditioner in order to speed industrial processing. It's usually not added directly to flour intended for home use, but you'll find it throughout commercial breads such as pizza dough, bread rolls and pastries.  


"While some L-cysteine is directly synthesized in laboratories, most of it is extracted from a cheap and abundant natural protein source: human hair. The hair is dissolved in acid and L-cysteine is isolated through a chemical process, then packaged and shipped off to commercial bread producers. Besides human hair, other sources of L-cysteine include chicken feathers, duck feathers, cow horns and petroleum byproducts."


"Most of the hair used to make L-cysteine is gathered from the floors of barbershops and hair salons in China, by the way."


http://www.naturalnews.com/032718_L-cysteine_commercial_bread.html


"True fact: A common ingredient in commercial breads is derived from human hair harvested in China also reports that the l-cysteine is harvested from chicken and duck feathers, cow horns and oil byproducts".


Where is the concern about the hormones and antibiotics in cattle, arsenic in chickens and ducks?  Oh, Yum!  want a dose of oil byproducts in that pizza?


Many of us find ourselves running on empty and feeling exhausted and ever so slightly sick all the time.  Our children, if allowed, gobble up pizza, breads such as hamburger buns and pastries (think pop tarts for example) on a near daily basis.  Those who have developed strange behavioral problems and illnesses baffle health care providers because they, allegedly, should not "present" in a population of  such an advanced and rich society as ours.  Our health costs spiral out of control while we are kept in ignorance by vested interests.  


No matter how much our food activists protest, the FDA, Big Pharma, and Food Manufacturers lie to us, and our legislators sitting in Congress mouth empty platitudes and promises while turning deaf ears to our pleas for food safety and reform of known food issues.  Our lives and health are ruled and ruined by corporations whose only focus is on their bottom line.   Read more of this unbelievable practice: True fact: A common ingredient in commercial breads is derived from human hair harvested in China.

FDA finally admits chicken meat contains cancer-causing arsenic (but keep eating it, yo!)

Think about all the chicken nuggets, fried chicken, chicken tacos, and so forth that are consumed daily all over America, from chicken that is loaded with viruses, cancer causing toxic chemicals such as arsenic, and it's enough to make you sick.  "FDA finally admits chicken meat contains cancer-causing arsenic (but keep eating it, yo!)" outlines it all for you in very clear, graphic terms.

"(NaturalNews) After years of sweeping the issue under the rug and hoping no one would notice, the FDA has now finally admitted that chicken meat sold in the USA contains arsenic, a cancer-causing toxic chemical that's fatal in high doses. But the real story is where this arsenic comes from: It's added to the chicken feed on purpose!"


"Even worse, the FDA says its own research shows that the arsenic added to the chicken feed ends up in the chicken meat where it is consumed by humans. So for the last sixty years, American consumers who eat conventional chicken have been swallowing arsenic, a known cancer-causing chemical. (http://www.phillyburbs.com/news/loc...)"


"Until this new study, both the poultry industry and the FDA denied that arsenic fed to chickens ended up in their meat. The fairytale excuse story we've all been fed for sixty years is that "the arsenic is excreted in the chicken feces." There's no scientific basis for making such a claim... it's just what the poultry industry wanted everybody to believe."


"But now the evidence is so undeniable that the manufacturer of the chicken feed product known as Roxarsone has decided to pull the product off the shelves (http://www.grist.org/food-safety/20...). And what's the name of this manufacturer that has been putting arsenic in the chicken feed for all these years? Pfizer, of course -- the very same company that makes vaccines containing chemical adjuvants that are injected into children."

"Oh, by the way, here's another sweet little disturbing fact you probably didn't know about hamburgers and conventional beef: Chicken litter containing arsenic is fed to cows in factory beef operations. So the arsenic that's pooped out by the chickens gets consumed and concentrated in the tissues of cows, which is then ground into hamburger to be consumed by the clueless masses who don't even know they're eating second-hand chicken sh*t.

Even though this article is graphic and sickening, I hope that you will read it and send it along to others who have children who gobble up chicken nuggets like candy as shown in glossy, colorful ads.  The following is critical information.  "FDA finally admits chicken meat contains cancer-causing arsenic (but keep eating it, yo!)"
