LABELS CAREFULLY: BE CAREFUL WITH ALL PROCESSED FOODS WATCH
OUT FOR CONVENTIONAL, NON-ORGANIC CORN AND SOY, BECAUSE THEY
ARE IN SO MANY PRODUCTS:
Avoid
corn syrup, fructose, and fructose corn syrup in almost all
beverages and sodas (even health food brands), and in almost
all sweet products, yogurt, and aspirin. Avoid corn oil, corn
starch, corn meal, baking soda, baking powder, glycose syrup;
Avoid soy; soy flour in baked goods; pizza, cookies, cakes,
pasta; fillers in meat products, (for example Big Macs) vegetarian
meat substitutes, (for example tofu, tofu burgers, tofu hot
dogs) soy milk, infant formula, baby foods; diet and protein
shakes, protein bars; chocolate and candy bars; margarine; ice
cream; pet food; soy oil in salad dressings & snack chips; soy
sauce; lecithin and soy lecithin. In all, well over 30,000 products!
AVOID
rBGH MILK & DAIRY PRODUCTS
Monsanto's
genetically engineered bovine growth hormone (rBGH), marketed
through veterinarians and injected into dairy cows, causes increased
milk production and horrible mastitis. These cows then require
constant medical supervision and continuous high doses of antibiotics.
Their milk contains high levels of pus. The cow's milk and dairy
products made from this milk also contain rBGH, bovine growth
hormone. This hormone increases cancer risk in human beings.
AVOID
ASPARTAME
This is known as the artificial sweetener Equal or NutraSweet
and is made up of three chemicals and a genetically engineered
enzyme. It has been implicated in many diseases. It breaks down
into formeldahyde in the body.
EAT ONLY ORGANIC RENNETLESS CHEESE
Most
non-organic cheeses are made with genetically engineered rennet
called chymosin.
AVOID
DOUGH CONDITIONER
This
is a code word for a combination of genetically engineered enzymes
and other components found in cheaper breads and baked goods.
OTHER GENETICALLY ENGINEERED ADDITIVES AND ENZYMES
Avoid
Amylase (used in making bread, flour, whole wheat flour, cereals,
starch), Catalase (used in making soft drinks, egg whites, liquid
whey) and Lactase
MEAT
AND POULTRY
Most livestock are being fed genetically altered feed, as well
as a disgusting Mix of ground-up and often diseased and discarded
animal carcasses. The only safe beef and poultry will be those
fed only organically grown grain. Avoid commercially produced
seafood. Commercial pork has been genetically altered with DNA
from human beings. Great time to decide to be vegetarian.
FAVOR DAIRY PRODUCTS FROM COMPANIES THAT DO NOT USE (rBGH)
BOVINE GROWTH HORMONE
Research
and buy only from suppliers that promise on the package or in
other writing that their products are rBGH-free. Be especially
careful with butter. Buy only organic butter, because even otherwise
good companies buy cheap rBGH milk to make butter, or else they
buy their butter (rBGH) from other companies.
I
have especially devoted a section on Formaldehyde Poisoning
from Aspartame (Nutrasweet) or Equal.
Detailed scientific and general documentation regarding the
toxicity of nutrasweet, Equal, diet coke, diet pepsi, and other
aspartame containing items. Web page includes real life reports
of acute and chronic toxicity due to long-term ingestion. Also
included is extensive scientific and general information and
resources.
Formaldehyde
Poisoning from Aspartame
In 1997 there was an increase in aspartame users reporting severe
toxicity reactions and damage such as seizures, eye damage and
vision loss, confusion, severe migraines, tremors, depression,
anxiety attacks, insomnia, etc. In, the same years, Ralph Walton,
MD, Chairman, The Center for Behavioral Medicine showed that
the only studies which didn't find problems with aspartame where
those funded by the manufacturer (Monsanto). Given the agreement
amongst independent scientists about the toxicity of aspartame,
the only question was whether the formaldehyde exposure from
aspartame caused the toxicity. That question has now been largely
answered because of research in the late 1990s.
The following facts shown by recent scientific research:
1.Aspartame
(nutrasweet) breaks down into methanol (wood alcohol).
2.Methanol quickly converts to formadehyde in the body.
3.Formaldehyde
causes gradual and eventually severe damage to the neurological
system, immune system and causes permanent genetic damage at
extremely low doses.
4.Methanol
from alcoholic beverages and from fruit and juices does not
convert to Formaldehyde and cause damage because there are protective
chemicals in these traditionally ingested beverages.
5.The
most recent independent research in Europe demonstrates that
ingestion of small amounts of aspartame leads to the accumulation
of significant levels of Formaldehyde (bound to protein) in
organs (liver kidneys, brain) and tissues.
