If You Can’t Pronounce It, Don’t Eat It

Foods are loaded with added chemicals these days and food manufacturers will do anything to trick you into believing that something is good for you, when in actuality it’s not. So the next time you’re in the grocery store check out the ingredients label and find a word that you can’t pronounce or know what it really means and look it up in the search engine online. You will probably be in shock if you continue to investigate only that one word and what it really is. Try it on a second word and see what you might find out on this next word. This will help you to become more aware of what food manufacturers are putting into your food. This awareness can help you stay healthier.

There are tons of chemicals, food dyes, and pesticides in store bought foods. They are used for many different reasons. Pesticides are used to keep bugs away from plants, food dyes make food more appealing to the eye, and there are chemicals used to preserve foods, or even get people more addicted to the food so you keep purchasing it. Yes, this is true.

As an example aspartame which is an artificial sweetener is showing up as brain tumors in people who consume it regularly, many times not even knowing it. Dr. James Bowen, MD states, "Aspartame is the # 1 known cause of brain tumors, ever recognized in science! In the Wistar rat, the appropriate rat strain to test for brain tumorigenicity studies, a dose of Aspartame only equivalent to three cans of pop per day, scaled down to the weight of the animals, and given for only sixty days caused the highest incidence of brain tumors, that any chemical ever tested in that strain of rat, ever caused."

Most people go through life just eating anything they want, but this is a big reason why there is so much illness. What you feed your body can and will dictate your health. Do your homework and educate yourself. It’ll do your body good.
