ASPARTAME

Aspartame (or APM, a.k.a. , E951, Tropicana Slim, Equal, NutraSweet, Spoonful, Canderel, Benevia, Equal Measure, etc.) is the name for an artificial, non-carbohydrate sweetener made of:
1.) aspartic acid (around 40%)
2.) phenylalanine = PKU (around 50%), a known tumor agent
3.) methanol = wood alcohol (10%) = poison
For over eight years, the FDA refused to approve aspartame because of the seizures and brain tumors this drug produced in lab animals. In 1981 President Reagan forced FDA to approve aspartame.
APM is commonly used in diet soft drinks, and is provided as a table condiment in some countries. It is also used in some brands of chewable vitamin supplements and common in chewing gums (eg.Dentyne, Eclipse, Extra, FreeDent, Ice Breakers, Orbit, Stride, Trident, ...). Aspartame is also one of the sugar substitutes used by people with diabetes. It keeps the blood sugar level out of control, causing many diabetics to go into a coma. Aspartame appears to cause slow, silent damage in those unfortunate enough to not have immediate reactions and a reason to avoid it. It may take one year, or even 40 years, but it seems to cause some reversible and some irreversible changes in health over long-term use. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Memorandum includes the list of 92 aspartame symptoms and health conditions reported by physicians and consumers, including death.

CCD

Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) is the name that has been given to the latest, and what seems to be the most serious, die-off of honey bee colonies across the world ( VIDEO ). Colony collapse is a serious concern because bees play an important role in the production of about one-third of the foods we eat. As they feed, honeybees spread pollen from flower to flower. Without this process, called pollination, plant can't produce seeds or fruits.
           
The cause/causes of the CCD are not yet fully understood. Many authorities attribute the problem to biotic factors such as: mites and insect, environmental change-related stresses, malnutrition, pesticides, and migratory beekeeping. More highly speculative possibilities have included both cell phone radiation and genetically modified crops. One of the firms who hold events organized to support the bee cause is Häagen-Dazs.

CORN / HFCS

Corn is one of the top crops being genetically modified, along with soy. It's hard to find a processed food without some sort of corn product in it. This grain, as a heap source of sugar, is used to sweeten many processed foods. You will find produced from cornstarch High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) listed in the ingredients of many products. It is in virtually every soda (one bushel of corn produces enough corn syrup to sweeten 324 cans of soda), snack (cookies, crackers), candy, frosting, jam, jelly, salad dressing, ice cream, condiment, fruit juice, and on things considered "health foods" like cereal/energy bars. Corn is also the main staple of feed given to animals because it's cheap and fattens cattle up quickly. This is not the natural food of these animals and changes their nutritional value for our consumption too. We are walking experiments. Corn Syrup has only been around since the 70s. Before that, sweeteners used were sugar beets and sugar cane or sucrose. HFCS contains 14% fructose. There have been no studies on the long term effects of HFCS. Never before in history have so many people consumed so much fructose. Corn and its derivatives are a likely source of the obesity and diabetes in America today. Because of that, it's important we read labels, know the code words for corn, and only choose those corn derivatives that are organic. (see: VIDEO )

GMO

A genetically modified organism (GMO) or genetically engineered organism (GEO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. With this technology, DNA molecules from different sources are combined into one molecule to create a new set of genes. This DNA is then transferred into an organism and causes the organism to acquire modified or novel traits. The most common modified foods are derived from plants: soybean, corn, canola, and cotton seed oil. The multi-national corporations and governments engaged in the genetic engineering of food claim to believe it to be a boon for the human race, while many health-conscious people and scientists believe it to be a potential or actual disaster.
The genetic modification of the plant leads to the concurrent genetic modification of the flower pollen. When the flower pollen becomes genetically modified or sterile, the bees will potentially go malnourished and die of illness due to the lack of nutrients and the interruption of the digestive capacity of what they feed on through the summer and over the winter hibernation process.

HOMEOPATHY

Homeopathy (from the Greek homoios, "similar" + pathos, "disease") is a form of alternative medicine defined in the 18th century. Homeopathic practitioners maintain that an ill person can be treated using a substance that can produce, in a healthy person, symptoms similar to those of the illness. Homeopathic remedies are generally considered safe, with rare exceptions, although homeopaths have been criticized for putting patients at risk by advising them to avoid conventional medicine, such as vaccinations, anti-malarial drugs and antibiotics.

KOSHER

The word "kosher" is a derivation of the Hebrew kasher, meaning "proper" or "pure." In order to meet kosher standards and receive the kosher seal, food must be prepared under a rabbi's supervision. In addition to the kinds of animals considered kosher (pigs and rabbits are among the nonkosher group), the laws also decree that animals be fed organically grown food and killed in the most humane manner possible. Because kosher foods bear an inherent hallmark of wholesomeness and quality, they are rapidly becoming popular with a new market of health-conscious consumers. Kosher foods can be purchased in most supermarkets throughout the United States.

MICROWAVE

Microwave oven-cooked food suffers severe molecular damage. When eaten, it causes abnormal changes in human blood and immune systems.
The blood of the volunteers who consumed foods cooked in the microwave oven showed a decrease in hemoglobin and cholesterol values, especially
the HDL (good cholesterol) and LDL (bad cholesterol) values and ration.
White blood cells (Lymphocytes) showed a more distinct short-term decrease following the intake of micro waved food than after the intake of other variants. Warming a liquid/food by holding it under tap water, by setting it in a bowl of warm water, or using regular oven, may take a few minutes longer, but it is much safer. A LAWSUIT, Oklahoma '1991 - A woman named Norma Levitt had hip surgery, only to be killed by a simple blood transfusion when a nurse "warmed the blood for the transfusion in a microwave oven"! (see: VIDEO ).

MSG

A major contributor to obesity is MSG. Leptin is a hormone released to tell your brain that you are full. MSG damages the brain so that it does not recognize leptin. Thus you always feel hungry. MSG is put in foods because it is addicting and it makes you want to eat more = more pro?ts for the food manufacturers. MSG is hidden in foods by calling it “others pices”.
MSG (Chemical formula: C5H8NNaO4, also known as • Monosodium Glutamate
• Sodium Glutamate/Caseinate • wei jing • artificial flavors HS 29224220 • E621 • Hydrolyzed Vegetable/Plant Protein Extract • Accent • Aginomoto • Natural Meat Tenderizer • Calcium Caseinate • Textured Protein • Autolyzed Yeast • Hydrolyzed Oat Flour., etc.) is a white, crystalline salt used to flavor variety of foods. It does not enhance the four basic tastes (bitter, salty, sour, and sweet), but it does enhance the complex flavors of food. Originally isolated from seaweed and used in China and Japan, MSG is now made by fermenting corn, soy, potatoes or rice and is used commercially worldwide.
"I don't eat Chinese food, so  I don't need to worry about MSG"... Go to your kitchen, and check the cupboards and the fridge. You will be shocked!!!
The MSG manufacturers themselves admit that it addicts people to their products and reason they add it to food is to make people eat more. According to animal studies, MSG creates a lesion in the hypothalamus that correlates with abnormal development, including obesity, short stature and sexual reproduction problems. Chinese Restaurant Syndrome (MSG Symptom Complex) occurs in some people after they eat foods containing MSG, a common ingredient in Chinese food.The symptoms may include headache, throbbing of the head, dizziness, lightheadedness, a feeling of facial pressure, tightness of the jaw, burning or tingling sensations over parts of the body, chest pain, and back pain. Large amounts of MSG may cause arterial dilatation (widening of arteries).

ORGANIC

Organic food is produced by farmers who emphasize the use of renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future generations. Organic meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products come from animals that are given no antibiotics or growth hormones. Organic food is produced without using most conventional pesticides; fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge; bioengineering; or ionizing radiation. Before a product can be labeled "organic," a Government-approved certifier inspects the farm where the food is grown to make sure the farmer is following all the rules necessary to meet USDA organic standards. The USDA has identified for three categories of labeling organic products:
**100% Organic: Made with 100% organic ingredients
**Organic: Made with at least 95% organic ingredients
**Made With Organic Ingredients: Made with a minimum of 70% organic ingredients with strict restrictions on the remaining 30% including no GMOs (genetically modified organisms)
Products with less than 70% organic ingredients may list organically produced ingredients on the side panel of the package, but may not make any organic claims on the front of the package. Be aware: All NATURAL means nothing!
Check out the latest list of the most important foods to buy organic (The Dirty Dozen), in order to minimize your exposure to toxic pesticides and enjoy safer meals. Also see The Clean 15 - Foods You Don't Have to Buy Organic.

PANACEA

Panacea was supposed to be a remedy that would cure all diseases and prolong life indefinitely. Over the centuries people have looked for the universal medicine. They never find the one, but some herbs or mixtures of herbs, as well as the products of plants or animals, may be named the all-heal.

SOY

Most people, who have food allergies, have an allergy to soy. The next problem is that soy crops are heavily doused with pesticides. Therefore, if buying soy products make sure they are always organic. In addition, most soy beans are now GMO and the genetically engineered soy beans have less of the good and more of the bad parts of soy. For many, soy must be avoided and labels must be read carefully. This can be difficult because many common foods contain some form of soy. Most snacks, baked foods, breads, canned tuna in oil, cereals, and crackers, infant formulas, sauces, soups, nut butters, including peanut butter, and even supplements and vitamins, contain soy.

STANDARDIZATION

Vitamin supplement pills have very little chance of working if they do not dissolve. Standardization through special process, isolates and concentrates the portion of a plant or herb that contains the active ingredient that produces the actual clinical benefit.

SYNERGISTIC

The word 'synergy' (from the Greek syn-ergo, meaning working together) in medicine describes the interaction of two or more drugs when their combined effect is greater than the sum of the effects seen when each drug is given alone.

TRANS FAT

Trans fats, are man-made compounds that are made from processed liquid oils. These harmful fats will raise LDL, and could lower a HDL cholesterol levels. Because these fats are so thick and stiff, they can also clog up arteries and blood vessels, which can lead to heart attack or stroke, says the University of Maryland Medical Center. (see: VIDEO )
Trans fats (other names: Hydrogenated Oils, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oils, Margarine, Partially-Hydrogenated Oils, Vegetable Shortening) are commonly found in potato chips, cookies, processed foods such as doughnuts, cakes and many fast foods. You can avoid trans fats by choosing natural, healthy foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and whole grain breads and cereals. Check ingredient labels for hydrogenated fats, and try to avoid those foods.
