LIMINATE MSG’ S *** Be careful to not invade your body with chemical poisons( whether through food, medication, vaccination and pollution) These will ALL keep your vibrations low. When that happens your brain and body becomes susceptible to ANYTHING ***” ex. Mcdonalds and Aspertame.
“ A genetically modified organism( GMO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. Organisms that have been genetically modified include micro-organisms such as bacteria and yeast, insects, plants, fish, and mammals. GMOs are the source of genetically modified foods, and are also widely used in scientific research and to produce goods other than food. The term GMO is very close to the technical legal term,‘ living modified organism’ defined in the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, which regulates international trade in living GMOs( specifically,“ any living organism that possesses a novel combination of genetic material obtained through the use of modern biotechnology”).”
Reports of gluten intolerance are massively increasing these days, many cases being labeled CELIAC disease... but the REAL cause might be much more sinister... the fact that almost our ENTIRE wheat supply( and it’ s found in countless products, not just bread) is now GMO- made from genetically modified organisms.
Many supermarkets now have entire aisles of gluten-free foods. Unfortunately for consumers, the Monsantos of the country plus the food industry as a whole have spent millions for lobbying and fighting ballot measures that would REQUIRE honest labeling when GMO’ s are included in food items we purchase.
WHY IT’ S BAD: It’ s an known excitotoxin, which is a neurotoxic chemical additive shown to harm nerve cells— overexciting them, sometimes to the point of cell death. Regularly consuming excitotoxins like MSG destroys significant numbers of brain cells and can lead to serious health problems, including neurological disorders.( The two other common excitotoxins used in food are aspartic acid( found in aspartame) and l-cysteine, which is used as a dough conditioner.) In addition, regular consumption of MSG has been shown to stimulate the appetite and contribute to weight gain and obesity.
AVOID HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP( HFCS) This is a highly-refined sweetener in which corn starch is separated from the corn kernel. The corn starch is then converted into corn syrup through a process called acid hydrolysis.
WHY IT’ S BAD: Nearly all HFCS is made from genetically-modified corn. It is the number-one source of calories in the US diet, and has been shown to contribute to weight gain and the development of diabetes.
HFCS also is a major contributor to cardiovascular disease, arthritis, insulin resistance, and elevated triglycerides and raised LDL cholesterol. In 2009, the Environmental Health Journal reported that a study conducted by the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy found mercury in 9 of 20 samples of commercial HFCS. The HFCS came from 3 different manufacturers including popular brands such as Quaker, Hunts, Kraft, Yoplait, Nutri-Grain, and Smuckers. Mercury is a heavy metal and is considered a potent brain toxin. The presence of mercury-contaminated caustic soda in the production of HFCS is common.
AKA: Corn sugar, glucose / fructose( syrup), high-fructose maize syrup inulin, iso-glucose, and fruit fructose.
IT’ S FOUND IN: Soda, salad dressings, breads, cereals, yogurt, soups, lunch meats, pizza sauce and condiments. On average, Americans consume 12 teaspoons of HFCS per day.
