cellulose manufacturers publicize the
health virtues of cellulose fiber. They
promote “lower fat” and “high fiber”

Wood cellulose is not toxic. But it’s
not food either. Our enzymes cannot
digest cellulose. Yes, we all need to
take in fiber. Dry legumes, whole
grains, and most fresh plant foods
contain fiber. Freshly baked whole
grain breads from a trusted bakery
contain natural fibers too. These are
fibers that are part of actual whole
foods. Cellulose in the ingredients
list [on food packaging] is a giveaway,
so another term used for wood
cellulose is microcrystalline cellulose

substance from some plants and
trees) is reportedly common. The
fake grains were made of mixed
potatoes and industrial synthetic
resin which can be deadly if eaten
on a daily basis. However, Health
experts are warning people that

Sickening:
Major food corporations use tissue from aborted babies
to manufacture flavor additives in processed foods
(NaturalNews)
Every
time you purchase massproduced processed “food”
from the likes of Kraft,
PepsiCo, or Nestle, you’re
choosing, whether you
realize it or not, to feed your
family not only genetically
engineered poisons and
chemical additives, but also
various flavoring agents
manufactured using the
tissue of aborted human
babies. It’s true: A company
based out of California,
known as Senomyx, is in the business
of using aborted embryonic cells to
test fake flavoring chemicals, both
savory and sweet, which are then
added to things like soft drinks,
candy and cookies. Known as “HEK293,” the aborted human fetal cell line
used by Senomyx is manipulated to
evaluate how the human palate will
react to synthetic flavors used in the
production of processed foods. Since
most processed foods on the market
today are hardly food to begin with,
and typically lack any real flavor
or appeal on their own, chemical
