Some say there are no unadulterated foods in any common food stores. After researching for this article I tend to agree. The bulk of most people’s food is store bought. Most of us do not have the means of producing our own food so it is really important for us to know what we are ingesting. There is alot of controversy about monosodium glutamate and metabisulfite we will examine these in a later article.
There are all kind of stories of how processed, foods like unpackaged corn chips, don’t need to be covered at the manufactures at night because cockroaches and rats won’t eat them. I’m not going to write much about what all bad things are in junk foods because I believe just about everyone knows junk foods are not good for them There are many however that are trying to provide healthy meals for the family not knowing what is hidden in wholesome, natural looking food. We will give you some idea of what is lurking in our food supply.
Meats
When possible we should all eat only deer meat. It has the least amount of cholesterol but more importantly is given the chance of being raised naturally. Mass produced meats especially beef is shot full of hormones and antibiotics to make them fatten up and disease free (when you raise animals in too close a space and unnaturally you are subjecting them to the possibility being disease ridden) It’s been made public how these animals have been raised but most consumers don’t understand what this all implies.

Hormones injected into these animals is linked with: The growing number of women with PMS (which after all is caused by a hormone imbalance) More children with WEIGHT PROBLEMS (I don’t think this is the only cause but it makes sense that if hormones are given to make the animals gain weight and it is stored in their flesh, that those who eat that flesh could nave a weight gain.)
Infertility in women; I couldn’t find a reason to totally satisfy me on the legitimacy of this claim. Except hormones out of balance do effect menstrual flow and cycle.
DEPRLSSION/PGGRESSION (hormones can cause drastic mood swings)

Development in young girls especially earlier menstruation and larger breast (it is thought the excess hormones in the system forces and accelerates the development in preadolecent girls)

Meat that has been pumped full of antibiotics has been linked to:

Weakened IMMUNE SYSTEM — It is accepted among those in natural health that antibiotics weakens the immune system. The antibiotic makes it unnecessary for the immune system to be activated. Working for a body system in time will make it lazy and weak. (just as it would if you didn’t use a muscle)
Mutant bacteria strains (the antibiotic may not be strong enough or taken long enough to kill a certain bacteria and it basically just wounds it. When it recovers, it is more resistant to antibiotics.
BOWEL PROBLEMS — In the intestine there are different bacteria, among them acidophilus bacillus or better known as friendly flora these are necessary for digestion and keeping harmful bacteria from running rampant.
This flora is also needed to keep yeast in check. YEAST INFECTIONS are becoming very common. Many yeast control diets abolishes “mass raised” meats.
There are countless evils linked with the very meats that we buy in our stores. Meat, unlike other foods is not regulated by the truth in labeling act. So they don’t even have to tell us all that is present in the flesh we buy. If someone would slip into the store at night tampering with our meat supply, lacing them with these substance, he would be arrested and everyone would be in an uproar. I believe we should not be any less indignant with what is going on now.

Vegetables/Fruits
The insecticides are used so profusely that they are actually absorbed into the fibers of the vegetables. For instance celery is so laden with arsenic to protect it from worms that you can no longer soak it all off. You can even feel and see the coating on fruits(apples) and vegetables (cucumbers) that preservatives are applied to. The next time you buy an apple lightly scrape it with a knife, you will probably scrape off a white substance. (NSP has a concentrate which is excellent for soaking off these preservatives and insecticides.) All vegetables and fruits should be soaked to remove the most concentrated amounts of these poisons.
There are also preservatives as well as artificial colorings and flavorings in things like fruit juices.
An experiment was done in a maximum security prison. They took half the inmates and eliminated bleached white flour, sugar, artificial flavorings and coloring, and preservatives. They recorded the effects this diet had on these vicious, aggressive murderers. Surprisingly these men became gentle and very easy to control.
Other studies have linked food additives with insanity, brain and liver damage, allergies, asthma, PMS, cancer, and many, many more health conditions. A good book to read on the possible effects of these additives is WHY IS YOUR CHILD HYPERRCTIVE by Dr. Benjamin Feingold.

You may ask how they can get away with putting this in our foods. They can because the ingredients are written on the label. Most of
us have no idea what these ingredients mean. We trust that if it was not good for us it would not be sneaked into our foods. I feel sure that if ingredients were listed in common names most people would fight to get things changed.
Some people are overwhelmed with all in our life that is not healthy for us. Many have resigned with taking what ever is served us. The responsibility is ours, no manufacture is going to make itself less competitive for our health’s sake.
I have a friend who says I don’t care what’s in foods after all I’m going to die some time. Well dying is not the worst scenario, living with these poisons in our system is. I know this article does not cover enough, but being aware of and limiting our consumption of these poisons is at least a start.
