DANGEROUS INGREDIENTS
Secretly Lurking in Our Foods Today
Here are some examples of what is in many of our foods today - unknown and unseen by the general public.
Hormones, Steroids, Antibiotics found in animal products
Research shows these compounds can be absorbed by fruits and vegetables grown in soil treated with manure from animals fed antibiotics.
Toxins and Pollutants from contaminated soil and water
These can stay in our environment years after they've been banned, such as DDT.
Pesticides, Fertilizers, and Fumigants - These are all unnatural compounds.
MSG (Monosodium Glutamate) - MSG is a neurotoxic flavor enhancer that's hidden in many of our foods under a long list of deceiving names.
Partially Hydrogenated Oil - Gives baked goods and snacks longer shelf life but contains high levels of dangerous trans fat.
High Fructose Corn Syrup
With a high glycemic index, it converts to fat more than any other sugar. Usually made with genetically modified corn and genetically modified enzymes.
Genes from Bacteria, Viruses, Plants, Animals, and even Humans inserted into plants like soybeans, corn, canola, and cotton
Unlike traditional breeding, genetic engineering can create life forms that would normally never exist in nature. Shockingly, U.S. food manufacturers are NOT required to put "genetically modified" on any food labels! This leaves us in the dark.
Artificial Colors and Flavorings
Artificial colors are chemical compounds made mainly from coal-tar; artificial flavors are cheaply produced chemical mixtures that mimic natural flavors.
Artificial Sweeteners
Despite claims that these are "safe" food additives, remember, they are NOT natural. For example, aspartame is made up of three chemicals. These sweeteners are often toxic to the body and cause all kinds of serious health problems.
Benzoate Preservatives
These are phenolic compounds often added to food to preserve fats and prevent fats from becoming rancid; these preservatives produce low levels of hormones.
SO... What's the RESULT of all of these dangerous ingredients in our food?
Food that's been denatured, stripped of much of its nutritional value and integrity, and food that could potentially cause serious health issues.
But with THE FEAST, you get REAL NUTRITION.
Pure, concentrated,
unadulterated,
live,
whole food-based nutrition.
The Feast, by Uri International, is pure nutrition, free of dangerous ingredients.

Avoiding Surprise Ingredients in Fast Food - Keys to Eating Healthy & to Good Nutrition

I'd like to share an article I just read from NewsTarget.com on the surprise ingredients in fast food. Avoiding these kinds of health-destroying "surprises" is just one more of the keys to good nutrition and tips to eating healthy.
Click on the link below to read the full article.
Surprise Ingredients In Fast Food
After reading this article, it really makes you think twice before ever stopping to eat at one of the national chain fast food restaurants like Wendy's, Burger King, McDonald's, KFC, Taco Bell, etc.
In fact, this article confirmed to me what I already suspected; namely, that fast food is loaded with very unhealthy and often toxic additives that cause people all kinds of health problems and that contribute to the growing problem of obesity in America.
The plain truth is this: if you're away from home and want to eat a healthy meal, DO NOT dare go to a fast food restaurant. It simply is not worth the risk to your health. Along similar lines, I have a sneaking suspicion that most chain restaurants are just as guilty when it comes to sneaking in all kinds of very unhealthy and toxic additives into the food they serve, so beware.
My conclusion is that you, and you alone, are responsible for your health and nutrition. DO NOT entrust your health and nutrition to fast food restaurants, or regular restaurants, or even to your local grocery store. Instead, you must educate yourself as to what good nutrition is and how to eat right, and then you've got to be proactive and find ways to make sure that you are only eating good healthy nutritious whole food.
And always remember this: the reasons that the fast food restaurants put such unhealthy and often toxic additives and junk (not even fit for animal feed) into the "food" they serve you are:
1. To make the food taste better (think "MSG," salt, sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, trans fat, etc.) so that you'll keep buying it over and over again.
2. To make you fat (think MSG, salt, sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, trans fat, etc.) All of these things also contribute to making you eat more of their food and to make you fat. Their philosophy is that fat people will eat more food and bring them greater profits.
3. To make you addicted to their food (think MSG, salt, sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, trans fat, etc.) Many of the super-unhealthy and toxic additives are added to get people addicted to fast food. For example, MSG is an "excito-toxin" that causes the brain and taste buds to over-react so that you get addicted to it and want more.
4. To make the fast food look more appealing (think food colorings, etc.)
Final Word from the Naked Nutrition Knight:
Fast food is destroying the health of America and the world; therefore, avoid it at all costs, no matter how good it looks or tastes! Fast food is all about looks and taste, but with the surprise ingredients it is dangerous to your health and will cause you all kinds of long-term health problems. In addition, fast food will make you fat, overweight, and possibly obese.
Start now learning how to eat right and how to give your body the good nutrition it craves, deserves, and needs to function and to live with long-term vitality. If you don't feed your body properly, it will let you down by breaking down, and then what do you have after you've lost your health? Nothing!
