<\/em>I hope you like ( or rather dislike) this\"\"<\/a> picture of the potential supermarket of the future – if the corporatists have their way!<\/p>\n

As you probably already know, I am passionate about good ethics, and educating people on the dangerous food additives enabling them to choose their family\u2019s food wisely. Sadly much of this information is not covered by mainstream media.<\/p>\n

There is no doubt that the food chain has become controlled by faceless and ruthless corporations who put
\nprofit before health so we need to educate ourselves on whether we are eating anything that is harming us.<\/p>\n

The main dangerous ingredients I suggest you avoid in foods are (by no means an exclusive list!):<\/p>\n

ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS:<\/strong>
\nAspartame, Acesulfame K, Sucralose (Splenda), Nutrasweet, Saccharin, etc etc, even the new Stevia-based sweetener, Truvia, is very bad news.
\nThese are insufficiently tested, and where testing has been performed it is often biased as it is carried out by the manufacturer and based upon junk science. These have been linked to cancer, tumours, weight gain and even death. There are 92 FDA-documented reactions to Aspartame alone!<\/p>\n

MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE (MSG):<\/strong>
\nA flavour enhancer found in many foods especially crisps and snacks, that attacks your brain cells. It works by neurologically causing people to experience a more intense flavour from the foods that they eat rather than just flavouring foods, and has been linked to many disorders and ethical issues.<\/p>\n

FLUORIDE:<\/strong>
\nI mention in another article about the dangers of this toxic substance found in almost all mainstream dental care, and in some water supplies. A major cause of cancer, Alzheimer\u2019s and much more.<\/p>\n

SODIUM NITRATE & NITRITE:<\/strong>
\nFound in deli meats, such as bacon and ham, have been linked to gastric cancer and oesophageal cancer.<\/p>\n

HYDROGENATED FATS:<\/strong>
\nFats that have been blasted with hydrogen to make them semi-solid such as in \u2018healthy\u2019 spreads. Fats that have
\nbeen altered in any way are extremely bad for us. Hydrogenated fats are basically plastics, possessing no properties of oils or fats once processed. Consumption of these trans
\nfats are directly linked to cancer, heart disease and unhealthy cholesterol imbalances (despite advertising to the contrary).<\/p>\n

GM FOODS:<\/strong>
\nGenetic Modification, or Engineering, is completely unethical and
\nuntested, no-one has any idea how these foods will react to our bodies. The argument against GM is too lengthy to cover here. Some of our foods are already GM or contain GM ingredients,
\nif you choose organic then there is reassurance that your food will not contain GM ingredients or if it is meat, has been fed with GM feed.<\/p>\n

SOY<\/strong>
\nSoy (or soya) has direct links to hormone imbalances due to the way it mimics oestrogen. This causes female charactieristics in males and premature puberty in females at the very least. Besides over 93% of the world’s soy is now GM. Avoid like the plague anything with soy in despite it being labelled as a health food!<\/p>\n
