Every year, the parents of 15, 700 children will hear the words, “your child has cancer.” I am unable to locate any statistics that tell us how many children were diagnosed with cancer in the 1950’s, although there is information there about the survival rates and how much that has improved over the last 25 years. My point is that I don’t remember personally knowing any child with cancer when I was growing up. Now, I am 75 years old, so that was a while ago. But… something changed. What was it?!
What, about the way we live today, has changed so dramatically? Our FOOD! It is processed and additive-ed to death… to OUR DEATH!
Just look at one ingredient that is added to almost every food product, and that is high fructose corn syrup. It is in everything – even foods that aren’t necessarily intended to be sweet.
Some Dangers of High fructose corn syrup:
• Weight Gain
• Cancer
• Increased Cholesterol Levels
• Diabetes
• High Blood Pressure
• Heart Disease
• Leaky Gut Syndrome
• Increased Mercury Intake
And, this is just ONE ingredient we never knew the dangers of. But we do understand the risks of ingesting herbicides, pesticides, antibiotics, hormones, and goodness knows what else. If you read the ingredients label, for example, on General Mills products; many of them you cannot pronounce and have no idea what they are. Neither do we know whether they are safe for human consumption. So, what is one to do? STOP purchasing these items. Buy only whole foods. But even then, you must be extremely careful. The label on anything you are buying must say something to the effect of the following: organic, non-GMO, antibiotic, hormone, pesticide, herbicide free. And, then, you STILL may not be protected from hidden ingredients. But you will feel better and more empowered in safely feeding your family healthy foods.
Protect your loved ones; your children, your parents, and grandparents; those who are ill. Good Luck!!!
