The bottom line is we all will die one day ... this way we are rushing to it. One way to control population I suppose.
I HATE WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO OUR FOODS SUPPLY. STOP IT.
In his 1971 book, The Chemical Feast, Ralph Nader claimed that research had shown that food preservatives such as BHT and BHA CAUSE CANCER. He lied. I read the original research paper a few years later. BHA and BHT PREVENT cancer in lab rats! Such preservatives also prevent fats from oxidizing and becoming rancid which is a major cause of heart disease and cancer.
Nanny state Ping...........
CSPI gets a VERY well deserved skewering.
This is what happens when libs try to “fix” things. I wonder what the earth will look like after they attempt to “fix” Gore-bal warming.
Thanks for the ping!
I've theorized for quite some time that dietary trans fats are the cause of our massive societal addiction to antidepressants.
Our brains are made up of something like 70% fats. Many studies have shown that good fats do good things for the brain. Fish oils will mitigate depression and bipolar. Vitamin e will slow the progression of Alzheimer's. CoQ10 slows progression of Parkinson's. That's just off the top of my head, you get the idea.
So if GOOD fats do GOOD things for the brain, is it not then logical to assume that BAD fats will in turn do BAD things for the brain?
I can't prove it though....
90% of what you are told about avoiding all the closer-to-historically-normal products humans have consumed for millenia - butter, meat from animals - including the fat - salt, sugar, eggs, wheat etc is no more than $money motivated political-science masquerading as science.
If there is anything that has changed, in the human diet, with respect to the things named above and human health, it is over-consummation as a consequence of abundance and not an intrinsically “natural” problem with their consumption.
One only need look at the massive domination of high-fructose corn syrup as America’s major sweetener, the huge decline in the use of sugar (which humans have used for thousands of years) and our current diabetes epidemic to notice that - when it comes to the foods you should consume - the villains are not who you are told they are and the saviors are not saviors at all.
too much to read, bmflr
Bump for later. :)
CSPI is NOT a Government agency.
It is a private group of leftists, old hippies and other such ilk.
They operate using many of Jesse Jackson’s methods of extortion/public intimidation.
They would be powerless were it not for a willing left wing press.
This is a GREAT post....GREAT article!

Wrote one of my columns on that.
I have a grandson in Afghanistan and I tell everyone who helps by sending boxes of food, candy and gum (he outside the wire and 45 miles from running water and hot meals) to look a the ingredients and send NOTHING with High Fructose Corn Syrup or Aspartame, etc. Indeed, in hot weather, there have been reports of Aspartame turning into formaldehyde in the body -
What they are allowed to put in our foods is criminal. Fortunately we can research on the net...but many don't.
The health food shoppers finally got the big stores attention. When they saw all that money going to the health food stores, they capitulated and many now have organic food sections.
We need to let these poisoners know we wont buy their poison laced products.
There's a Canadian outfit JONES that puts out soda, in glass bottles, made with "pure sugar cane" = Walmart and Target carries it - but, lo and behold, I found it in a tiny little mom and pop store the other day - and they are also carrying the original Dentine gum and Necco wafers - also with sugar.
That means that even the little stores can get these products. All we need to do is ask them to - and have people go in randomly and ask for them. If they say no, we don't carry that...then buy nothing and walk out. Wont take long for them to order...
It's really up to us. The gov't will not look out for us.
BUMP
Isn’t Nader a Twoofer?
Need to sue them.
