The next time you shop for food in the supermarket(see also 3 dangerous Supermarket Foods), look out for…not food, but Toxic Chemicals! Nearly 3,000 additives and preservatives are used in food today to mimic n a t u r al flavours, to make them look more natural, to preserve them longer and create various a l t e r e d versions for convenience and appeal. For decades, the food industry has continually created new chemicals to manipulate and transform our food. Now there are even “foods“ that are made entirely from chemicals. Many sugar substitutes and candies are made almost completely from artificial ingredients! Children today eat more than 150 additives a day, including mood-altering chemicals that make them restless and moody. Among adults these chemicals can cause subtle effects like mutations, genetic damage or birth defects to long term effects like cancer, liver impairment, poor mental concentration and immunity, headaches etc. Some of the foods that contain chemicals are concentrated or canned fruit juices, soft drinks, jams, instant coffee, processed meat, chewing gum, non-dairy creamers, biscuits, packet soups, ice cream, instant noodles, sauces, chips, canned foods etc.
So our humble advice to you all is Get Smart! Know your foods & also now about natural organic foods that are available locally. This is the only pathway to save you from toxins and ensure a healthy and happy long life.
