| Find Your Toxicity Level Here. |
What if avoiding just a few food
items or ingredients would change your body dramatically.
1. HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP
High Fructose Corn Syrup is the
number one source of calories in most daily diets. As use of
high-fructose corn syrup has increased, so have levels of obesity and other related
health problems.
You'll find high-fructose corn syrup
in processed food, fast food, sodas, and even many so called healthy drinks.
High Fructose Corn Syrup is
extremely toxic to your liver, increases inflammation, causes obesity, oxidation and it creates an aggressive insulin response.
2. PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED OILS
(TRANS FATS)
Partially hydrogenated oils are
found in thousands of processed foods such as margarine, breakfast cereals,
cookies, chips and deep fried foods to name a few.
Restaurant food, especially from
fast food chains, often serve food loaded with trans fats.
Trans fats have been linked to a
myriad of health issues. Consequences
of a diet high in trans fats include:
* increased inflammation
* decreased immune
function
* decreased testosterone
* Arthritis
* Cancer
* Decrease IQ learning
disabilities.
* Diabetes
* Elevated blood
pressure
* Free radical
production
* Heart Disease
* Interferes with development
of a fetus
* Liver damage
* Obesity
* Osteoporosis
3. MSG
Mono sodium glutamate is a chemical flavor
enhancer that has been associated with reproductive disorders, migraine
headaches, damage to the endocrine system leading to obesity, reduced fertility
and other serious disorders.
4. SODIUM NITRATE
This is a preservative, coloring,
and flavoring commonly added to bacon, ham, hot dogs, lunch meats, smoked fish
and corned beef. Studies have linked eating it to various types of
cancer.
5. REFINED SOY
Surprised? When it comes to soy, most
of what we hear about it comes from the people who market it.
When you feel like mixing up a soy
shake, snacking on a soy protein bar or pouring yourself a glass of soy milk
consider this: unfermented, processed soy inhibits the thyroid, is deficient in
amino acids, is toxic to infants and shrinks the brain.
If you want to get some health
benefits from soy, stick to the fermented soy products like tempeh, miso, natto
and soybean sprouts and pass on the processed soy milks, tofu, soy
burgers, soy ice cream, soy cheese and other soy junk foods that are disguised
as health foods.
6. WHITE SUGAR
Sugar is more addictive than
cocaine! Sugar has a profound influence on your brain function and
your psychological function.
Sugar depresses the immune system.
It has been said that one tablespoon of sugar can depresses your immune system
for up to six hours.
When you consume excess amounts of
sugar, your body releases excess amounts of insulin, which in turn causes a
drop in your blood sugar, also known as hypoglycemia.
In addition, sugar is inflammatory,
damages skin collagen and promotes wrinkles, increases your appetite, depletes
your body of B vitamins, causes joint degeneration, ADHD and other behavior
disorders, stimulates cholesterol synthesis and weight gain.
7. SODIUM CHLORIDE
Commercial table salt is highly
processed and full of aluminum, chemicals and additives which are
toxic. A better, healthier choice would be sea salt which is purer
and more alkaline.
8. ASPARTAME, SPLENDA, SWEET N LOW,
EQUAL
Aspartame is an artificial, chemical
sweetener found in many foods and beverages including desserts, protein powder, low calorie foods, drink mixes and sodas.
It may cause cancer, dizziness,
migraine headaches, weight gain, increased appetite, bloating, rashes or even hallucinations.
Aspartame poisoning mimics symptoms
of MS. NutraSweet is in thousands of processed foods!
Side effects:
* Increased heart
disease
* Bloating and edema
* Brain seizures
* Cancer
* Cravings
* Headaches
* Predispose you to
Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease
* Rashes and hives
* Weight gain resulting
in obesity
9. FOOD COLORINGS
Many food colorings still on the
market have been linked with cancer in animal testing.
There is evidence that food coloring
and food additives contribute to behavioral problems in children, lead to lower
IQ, hyperactivity, ADHD, depression, hormonal dysfunction and cancer.
Red 3, used to dye cherries, fruit
cocktail, ice cream candy and baked goods have been shown to cause thyroid
tumors in rats.
This harmful artificial color causes
cancer and changes in brain chemistry. Read the list of ingredients in your
child's cough syrup (artificial color).
Green 3 is a potential allergen and
has been linked to bladder cancer. Green 3 is added to candy, mint jelly,
cereals and beverages.
Blue 1 and 2, found in beverages,
candy, baked goods, cereals and pet food have been linked to allergies and
cancer.
Yellow 5 causes the most immediate
allergic reaction in people sensitive to salicylates such as aspirin.
Yellow 6 has been linked to tumors
of the adrenal gland and kidney. Yellow 6 is added to beverages, sausage,
gelatin, baked goods and candy.
10. WHEAT AND GLUTEN
Refined grains are devoid of
nutrients, disrupt insulin levels and are highly allergenic for many
individuals.
Wheat and gluten have adverse health
effects for approximately 80 percent of the population. Gluten is a protein
found combined with starch in grains, notably wheat, rye and
barley.
Gluten sensitivity is severely
misdiagnosed or under-diagnosed one estimate says that 97 percent of all
sufferers don't know they have the disease due to unfamiliarity with it among
U.S. physicians.
Signs and symptoms of gluten
intolerance: The ultimate effect of this hidden wear and tear is the slow
destruction of the healthy mucosa, or lining tissue of the small intestine
causing an autoimmune response that's similar to an allergic reaction.
In some cases there may be symptoms
in childhood such as allergies, asthma, anemia, reoccurring infections, a
constant upset stomach or milk intolerance.
Other symptoms are nasal and throat
mucous, feeling of food sitting in stomach, bloating, gas, diarrhea with
periodic constipation, mental fogginess and skin rashes.
In severe cases like with Celiac
disease, there can be seizures, psychosis, violent behavior and withdrawal from
self.
Eliminate gluten-products for several
weeks and see how you feel. You will be surprised at the effect it can have on
your health.
BONUS. MEAT AND DAIRY
Meat and dairy are health killers over
time. Factory-farmed meat and dairy are so bad, it is difficult for most people to understand the dangers associated with them (growth hormones, antibiotics, etc…).
Even in the best meats and dairy are acidic in your
body. Animal fat clogs the arteries and contributes to the inflammatory diseases such
as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, etc…
