Dangerous food additives


Let me ask you a question. Would you eat something that was toxic unless you were trying to inflict bodily harm onto yourself? Would you eat something that had types of metal in it? Would you eat something if you knew it could give you cancer. Would you consume something that you knew could give you limb weakness or numbness, loss of memory, liver and kidney damage, behavioral problems, infertility, itching, nausea, nervous system and reproductive disorders, high blood pressure, weakened immune system, birth defects, vision loss, intellect loss, headache, cognitive and behavioral problems or even sexual dysfunction? If your answer is no to any of these questions, then you need to start reading the ingredients from the processed foods you buying at the store. I'm going to list off some of the wonderful food additives that are put in many of the common foods found at your local grocery store.

Propyl Gallate: This preservative is used to prevent fats and oils from spoiling. It's used in vegetable oils, meat products, potato sticks, chicken soup base and chewing gum, and is often used with BHA and BHT. It is known to cause cancer. Yum!


BHA and BHT: Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) are used similarly to propyl gallate. It helps to keep fats and oils from spoiling. Commonly used in cereals, chewing gum, vegetable oils, potato chips and also found in some food packaging to preserve freshness. Legal in the U.S. of-course but banned in England, it's associated with liver and kidney damage, behavioral problems, infertility, weakened immune system, birth defects and cancer.


Potassium Bromate: Bromate has been banned throughout the world, except for in the United States and Japan. This additive is used in breads and rolls to increase the volume and produce a fine crumb structure. Most bromate breaks down into bromide, which is harmless. But the bromate that does remain causes cancer in animals. In California, a cancer warning would likely be required if it were used, which is why it's rarely used in that state. Pass me the rolls please!

Monosodium glutamate (MSG): MSG is used as a flavor enhancer in many packaged foods, including soups, salad dressings, sausages, hot dogs, canned tuna, potato chips, and even hidden in some infant formulas, low fat milks, candy, chewing gum, drinks and over-the-counter medications. According to Dr. Russell Blaylock, an author and neurosurgeon he states there is a link between sudden cardiac death, particularly in athletes and excitotoxic damage caused by food additives like MSG. It may also cause headaches, itching, nausea, nervous system and reproductive disorders, high blood pressure. Pregnant, lactating mothers, baby's and small children commonly have allergic reactions with MSG. Now you know why you're so crappy after eating Chinese take out.

Aspartame: This artificial sweetener is found in over 6000 sweetened products including (but not limited to) diet sodas and other soft drinks, instant breakfasts, breath mints, cereals, sugar-free chewing gum, cocoa mixes, frozen desserts, gelatin desserts, juices, laxatives, chewable vitamins supplements, milk drinks, pharmaceutical drugs and supplements, shake mixes, tabletop sweeteners, teas, instant coffees, topping mixes, wine coolers and yogurt claiming to be sugar free or calorie free. This sweetener has been found to cause brain tumors in rats as far back as the 1970s and now a more recent study in 2005 found that even small doses it can cause lymphomas, central nervous system damage, menstrual difficulties, may effect brain and growth development in an unborn fetus, cancer and brain tumors. Some people who are sensitive to aspartame sometimes experience headaches, dizziness and hallucinations. The melting point of this fine product is about 475 degrees Fahrenheit or 246 Celsius. In certain markets, aspartame is manufactured using a genetically modified variation of E. Coli. WTF!!! Are you sure you want that diet coke?


Acesulfame-K: This is another artificial sweetener that is used in baked goods, chewing gum, gelatin desserts and soft drinks. Two rat studies have found that this substance may cause cancer. Acesulfame-K also breaks down into acetoacetamide, which has been found to affect the thyroid in rats, rabbits and dogs.


Olestra: Olestra is a fat substitute used in crackers and potato chips, marketed under the brand name Olean. This synthetic fat is not absorbed by the body but instead goes right through it and it can cause diarrhea, loose stools, abdominal cramps, flatulence and other effects. Olestra also reduces the body's ability to absorb beneficial fat-soluble nutrients, including lycopene, and beta-carotene. Beta-Carotene helps prevent night blindness and other eye problems, skin disorders, enhance immunity, protects against toxins and cancer formations, colds, flu, and infections. It is an antioxidant and protector of the cells while slowing the aging process. lycopene has been considered a potential agent for prevention of some types of cancers, particularly prostate cancer.

Sodium nitrite (or sodium nitrate): This stuff is used as a preservative, coloring and flavoring in bacon, ham, hot dogs, luncheon meats, corned beef, smoked fish and other processed meats. Consuming Sodium nitrite can lead to the formation of cancer-causing chemicals called nitrosamines.


Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil: The process used to make hydrogenated vegetable oil (or partially hydrogenated vegetable oil) creates trans fats which in turn promotes heart disease , diabetes, breast and colon cancer, atherosclerosis, elevated cholesterol, depressed immune system, and allergies. The Institute of Medicine has advised that consumers should eat as little trans fat as possible. Avoid anything with these ingredients on the label, including certain margarine's, vegetable shortening, crackers, cookies, baked goods, salad dressings, bread, french fry's and many more. It's used because it reduces cost and increases the shelf life and flavor stability of foods. It all comes down to money, who gives a crap about living healthy anyway.


Blue 1 and Blue 2: Blue 1, used to color candy, beverages and baked goods and can cause cancer. Blue 2 which is found in pet food, candy and beverages has caused brain tumors in mice. Isn't that swell.


Red 3: This food coloring is used in caned or jarred cherries, baked goods and candy and causes thyroid tumors in rats and very likely in humans as well.


Yellow 6: As the third most often used food coloring, yellow 6 is found in many products such as but not limited to baked goods, candy, gelatin and sausages. It has been found to cause adrenal gland and kidney tumors and contains carcinogens which can lead to cancer. Fantastic!



Carrageenan: This is a stabilizer and thickening agent found in many different foods . In addition to suppressing immune function, carrageenan causes intestinal ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease in animals and some research indicates that carrageenan is associated with causing cancer in humans. (This is what researchers use when they want to create cancer cells for laboratory experiments)


Aluminum: Sodium aluminum phosphate, aluminum salts, aluminum calcium silicate, aluminum hydroxide, aluminum sulfate, aluminum fluoride, aluminum acetate, aluminum bicarbonate, aluminum caprylate, aluminum chloride, aluminum diacetate, aluminum hydroxide, aluminum oxide, aluminum sulfate, Poly-oxo aluminum stearate, and Sodium aluminum phosphate. If you ever see the word aluminum any where on the package, PUT IT BACK! It is added to thousands of different foods. For example, it's in the granola topping that comes with the yogurt you get from McDonald's. Aluminum has been exempted from testing for safety by the FDA under some convoluted logic and is classified as GRAS. (Generally Regarded As Safe.) It has never been tested by the FDA on its safety and there are no restrictions what-so-ever on the amount or use of aluminum. Aluminum is an additive in most baking powders, bleached flour, grated cheese, table salt, and beer, (especially when the beer is in aluminum cans). The biggest source of aluminum, however, comes from our municipal water supplies. It can cause Alzheimer’s disease, osteoporosis, colic, rickets, gastrointestinal problems, interference with the metabolism of calcium, extreme nervousness, anemia, headaches, decreased liver and kidney function, memory loss, speech problems, softening of the bones, and aching muscles. You can prevent aluminum from getting into your body by:

-Eating a diet that is high in fiber and includes apple pectin.
-Using stainless steel, glass, or iron cookware.
-Not cooking food in aluminum pots, the more they corrode, and the more aluminum is absorbed into the food and hence into the body.
-Only drink spring water.

A hair analysis can be used to determine levels of aluminum in the body.


What is going on here? Tons of poisonous chemicals being put into are food so the consistency is a little better? So it will last a little longer? These food additives are causing millions of health problems all over the world. So why do we still insist that they go into our foods on top of the fact that more food additives are being invented all the time. Do the FDA and WHO have a special treaty between each other. If people didn't have all of these health problems, billions of dollars would be lost in hospitals and in pharmaceutical company's. Their business depends on people getting sick and having major health problems. This is sick and unfortunately it's not going to stop. All you can do is educate yourself by knowing what foods have these toxic chemicals in them. A good rule of thumb is buying your food from a health food store. It's funny how they call them "health food stores". Isn't all food suppose to be healthy. Isn't that why we eat in the first place. I guess all the other stores are considered "unhealthy food stores". Attain the knowledge you need you live a healthy life and read what's on the packaging before you put it in your mouth. Understand the people making money from these foods don't give a rat ass about your health. All they care about is profits. Money and greed = death and the destruction of humanity. Save yourself and help save the human race by attaining your attainable mind.

What is Codex Alimentarius???

Most of the facts and quotes are directly taken from, www.healthfreedomusa.org

"The Codex Alimentarius Commission was created in 1963 by the FAO and WHO to develop food standards, guidelines and related texts such as codes of practice under the Joint FAO/WHO Food Standards Program. The main purposes of this Program are protecting health of the consumers and ensuring fair trade practices in the food trade, and promoting coordination of all food standards work undertaken by international governmental and non-governmental organizations."

This is their welcome statement on their website. There initial intent was to keep food safe. But corporate interests such as the pharmaceutical, pesticide, biotechnology and chemical industries have taken interest and have taken over. Codex Alimentarius is also backed by the World Trade Organization. The WTO uses the Codex standards to regulate food. So any nation who is non-Codex compliant, will loose any trade with any country who is.

The Codex Alimentarius Commission consists of two committees that impact nutrition. The first is the "Codex Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses” or the CCNFSDU. This committee is chaired by a doctor who believes that nutrition has nothing to do with health. That's right, Dr. Rolf Grossklaus, chair to the CCNFSDU was quoted “nutrition is not relevant to health” and he's the one who writes the policy on nutrition. He actually declared nutrients as toxins in 1994 and initiated the use of toxicology (Risk Assessment) to prevent nutrients from having any impact on people who take supplements. Dr. Rolf Grossklaus OWNS the risk assessment company that advises the CCNFSDU. HUMMM. This company actually makes money when its toxicology services are used for the assessment of nutrients. WTF!!!
So Codex uses toxicology to to assess nutrients. Here's the definition from Wikipedia:

"Toxicology (from the Greek words toxicos and logos) is the study of the adverse effects of chemicals on living organisms.[1] It is the study of symptoms, mechanisms, treatments and detection of poisoning, especially the poisoning of people."

Shouldn't they be using Biochemistry??
Wikipedia:

"Biochemistry is the study of the chemical processes in living organisms. It deals with the structure and function of cellular components such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids and other bio-molecules."

What's happening here, is that the "risk assessments" their using is science based, but their using the WRONG SCIENCE!!! Remember, this is a risk assessment they call a "benefit", assessing nutrition in our food using Toxicology. Again, Dr. Rolf Grossklaus OWNS this risk assessment company that advises Codex and the "Codex Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses”
Codex Alimentarius pretends to be on the side of consumer protection. To make sure our food is healthy and non-contaminated. This is direct from one of there propagating publishing's.

"The Codex Alimentarius, or the food code, has become the global reference
point for consumers, food producers and processors, national food control
agencies and the international food trade. The code has had an enormous
impact on the thinking of food producers and processors as well as on the
awareness of the end users – the consumers. Its influence extends to every
continent, and its contribution to the protection of public health and fair
practices in the food trade is immeasurable."

WOW what a statement. They say this will present, "a unique opportunity for
all countries to join the international community in formulating and
HARMonizing food standards and ensuring their global implementation. It
also allows them a role in the development of codes governing hygienic
processing practices and recommendations relating to compliance with those
standards."
"Codex standards have become the benchmarks against which national food
measures and regulations are evaluated within the legal parameters of the
World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreements."
Codex are the gatekeepers to the food we eat. Remember, the drug company's are the one's who fund the scientific "risk assessments" and have launched a multimillion dollar ad campaign to mislead people into thinking Codex is there for "your protection" and that natural health options are dangerous. Their really training people on what to eat what and they say is OK to eat.
Monsanto® and Bayer® are just two of the company's who are backing the Council for Responsible Nutrition or CRN, who in turn back the Codex Alimentarius standards. They along with the National Nutritional Foods Association or NNFA, they too have joined forces with Codex Alimentarius and excepted there standards as well.
What does all this mean??? Well lets put it together. The Codex Alimentarius risk assessment agrees that “nutritional supplements are dangerous to people’s health”. This is what their try to propagate among the world. That nutrients are "toxic", making therapeutic dosages of vitamins and minerals "nutrients" toxic, and in order to protect you from these toxins they need to be made illegal. Sounds Crazy?? Think about it, these large drug company's don't want nutritional supplements around. Why? Because they work make people healthy and take direct profits from western medicine. If you don't have sick people, you don't sell any drugs.
Here's where it gets really scary. If they are able to blindly fool the world and implement nutrients as "toxins". The US congress will have no choice but to protect it's citizens and comply with the Codex Alimentarius standards. To have the wool pulled over the eyes of people, creates a lack of activism. Why be active about something most people don't know anything about.

"This lack of activism allows our protective laws, classifying nutrients as foods with no upper limits (such as DSHEA), to be easily repealed and replaced with draconian laws to classify nutrients as toxins. And “harmonization” with the pro-illness, pro-pharmaceutical industry Vitamin and Mineral Guideline is there to fill the void."

Only very low doses of natural supplements, therapeutic grade vitamins, minerals, and amino acids would be made legal. As long as they met the Codex Alimentarius
standards, and the only reason they would allow this so say they still support natural supplements. Take the heat off. The other tings that I feel is important to realize is that the slower this process takes, the less likely anybody will notice, and that's exactly what they want. The Codex Alimentarius standard is supposed to go global between December 2009 spring 2010 and is being implimented by the WTO here in the US. Then is to be forced onto rest of the world by "the threat of massive economic sanctions if WTO-countries do not comply with Codex Alimentarius.
Natural supplements have been on the rise for quite some time, and the large pharmaceutical company's are getting scared because of the loss of profits. The wellness trend is huge and getting bigger. They plan on putting a stop to it!

"Instead of accepting the will of the people and rethinking the future of the pharmaceutical industry, the industry has decided upon an unethical course of action: the use of deception and deceit to eliminate natural health products completely"

Sounds like the rest of the big money making CEO's in this country. GREEDY, GREEDY, GREEDY!!!! Anyone who has power in a major corporation seems like they could really give two shits about anybody but themselves. It's all about the money, history has proven that.

"Furthermore, Codex is based in the Napoleonic Code, not Common Law. That means that under Codex Alimentarius, anything not explicitly permitted is forbidden. Under Common Law, we hold that anything not explicitly forbidden is permitted. The difference is the difference between health freedom and health tyranny. Codex Alimentarius would be able to ban supplements by default."


Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act is our only saving grace, which is now under Legislative attack!!! I plea with you to go to http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?page_id=183
And take the three steps. We do have power, were just made to think that we don't. People in Congress I imagine like there jobs, and we are the ones that keep them there. Time to do your job as a citizen and take action. Unless you just don't care what goes into your mouth.

"Once we have “HARMonize” to Codex Alimentarius, as long as we are in the WTO, we cannot amend or change what we’ve been “HARMonize” to."

"Codex Alimentarius will go into global implementation by December 31, 2009, unless We, the People, avert it. We must act now because right now, with $758 Million spent on declared Congressional lobbying by Big Pharma last year, there are members of Congress who are trying to overturn DSHEA and allow Pharma-friendly free reign for Codex. If protective laws like DSHEA are destroyed, the sanctioning power of the autocratic WTO kicks in, and it will be impossible to get out from under Codex Alimentarius. We can protect our access to high potency nutrients and stave off an adulterated food supply only by putting pressure on Congress."
