Food Industry is Waging War on Your Cells with These 10 Toxic Ingredients




 

'Preservatives and synthetic food agents found in foods inhibit oxygen and delay the development of fungus and mold, creating a longer shelf-life for products. But after being consumed, these toxins deprive human cells of oxygen and rob them of nutrients, thus leading to cell mutation and the perfect breeding ground for cancer.

Just like humans, cells need oxygen to survive and thrive. “Fungus fighting” preservatives and man-made food agents choke out your body’s nutrients at the DNA level by depriving mitochondrial cells of oxygen, sometimes completely shutting them down. And if the body does not have enough essential nutrients, it becomes more susceptible to disease.'

The Early Show: Should the government subsidize junk food?

http://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/images/food/images/tractor.jpg

'With rates of obesity, diabetes, and nearly every other major health problem rising each year, why has the United States decided to heavily subsidize junk food? Farmers around the country choosing to grow healthy crops like chard, broccoli, and spinach simply do not have the government funding that those growing massive amounts of corn and soy beans (of which above 90% of each are genetically modified) do. Does the U.S. government really think that fruits and vegetables are not as important as grains which are used mostly for processing harmful food items? It may be time for a policy change.'

Pepsi Uses Aborted Fetal Cells In Flavor Enhancers



'Scores of prolife groups are calling for a public boycott of food giant, PepsiCo, due to its partnership with Senomyx, a biotech company that uses aborted fetal cells in the research and development of artificial flavor enhancers. LifeSiteNews previously reported on Senomyx’s partnership with major food corporations, most notably PepsiCo, Kraft Foods, and NestlĂ©. Pro-life watchdog group, Children of God for Life (CGL), is now joined by major pro-life organizations calling upon the public to target PepsiCo in a boycott. Pepsi is funding the research and development, and paying royalties to Senomyx, which uses HEK-293 (human embryonic kidney cells) to produce flavor enhancers for Pepsi beverages.'

Don’t Be A Calorie Counter – Eat Fat and Lose Weight!

 http://www.thelazycaveman.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/calorie-counting-foods.jpg


'Are you a calorie counter? If so, your health could be in jeopardy. People who count calories are usually not consuming the right types of foods and often develop all types of problems such as obesity and heart disease. 

Calories found in natural, whole foods eaten until your body feels full can never make you gain weight. If you are regularly eating processed, packaged foods and thinking you can get away with continuing to eat those foods because you watch your calories, think again.'

Junk Food Turns Rats into Food Junkies

New study affirms and expands on the alarming results of 2009 rodent study, and support a former FDA commissioner’s claim that junk food is literally addictive.







by Craig Weatherby





'Last year, former FDA commissioner David Kessler, M.D., published a book titled The End of Overeating, in which he proposed that junk foods create addiction-like cravings for more junk food.

He pointed to growing evidence that junky foods – foods high in fat, salt and sugar but low in fiber and nutrients – alter the brain's chemistry in ways that compel people to overeat.

As he told The Washington Post, “Much of the scientific research around overeating has been physiology … what's going on in our body. The real question is what's going on in our brain.”'
