The Snack Food Industry – Our Children’s Secret Adversary

This may come as a shocking description of things like
chocolate, crisps, milkshakes, fizzy drinks etc, but my aim
isn’t to shock, rather inform people of what these things really
are Cigarette packets have clear warnings about their effects,
as should most of the junk food and snacks that are consumed in
this country at obscene rates a year Not everyone can be versed
in the intricacies of nutritional therapy, but is it asking too
much to exercise caution and read the labels on the products we
buy to feed ourselves and our children? The Concise Oxford
Dictionary’s definition of Junk is “discarded articles, rubbish,
anything regarded as little value, a slang term for narcotic
drugs” a fitting description of the highly addictive, poisonous
substances they are, why should we feed our children and
ourselves these things
Now lets see the effects of just 10 of the hundreds of additives
that are in ourselves and our children’s snack foods, so you are
better informed the next time you go to increase the profit
margins of companies whose only concern is money and power, and
never consider the sometimes irreversible damage they are doing
to ourselves and our children If it’s a suspected carcinogenic,
it means there are definitely studies out there which confirm
these suspicions and if it’s banned in baby food, it doesn’t
make it safe for you
Aspartame – This sugar substitute is 200 times sweeter than
sugar, banned in babies food, it enhances the stimulatory effect
of flavourings such as Monosodium Glutamate, adversely effects
nervous system and is a suspected carcinogenic (cancer causing
agent)
Xylitol – A sugar substitute (bulk sweetener) found in some
chewing gums It is toxic to the brain, liver, and urinary
passages in high doses and can cause diarrhoea
Monosodium Glutamate – This is an all purpose seasoning used to
enhance the flavours of food – it is a well known neurotoxin
(toxin affecting the brain) found in crisps, seasonings and many
take away foods
E100 Curcumin – A food colouring for creamy yellow colouring -
Used in sweets, fish fingers and yoghurts and linked to possible
gene damage
E110 Sunset Yellow – A yellow food colouring – Used in jams,
cakes, ice-creams and yoghurts to name a few and is a suspected
carcinogen that can induce an allergy to sunlight, which would
be detrimental to melanin dominant individuals who need
sunlight
E133 Brilliant Blue – A blue food colouring – Used in fruit and
apple black Current Drinks, can cause allergic reactions
E154 Kipper Brown – A brown food colouring – Used in sweets and
sausages, now a branded carcinogen which has been banned in
several countries (Remember, shops stock food from many foreign
countries)
E466 Carboxymethyl cellulose sodium salt – Used in orange and
lemon drinks, ice cream and dessert toppings to name a few
Another suspected carcinogen which can cause stomach bloating
and gas
Extract of Quillaia – Used in fizzy drinking to help them froth
up and can cause intestinal damage
E422 Glycerol – Used as a sweetener in many sweets and chewing
gum, can cause many side effects including nausea, headache,
thirst and bowel disturbances
What does all this mean for ourselves and our children? It means
that from a young age, our mentality, fertility, hormone levels,
concentration levels, behaviour, emotions, major organs of
elimination, brain activity, ability to learn and ability to
live holistically are all shot to pieces by mutated, irradiated,
heavily denatured foods and snack food products, all in the name
of self gratification and money
If you think these drug foods don’t affect you think again, all
of the following can be attributed to their consumption:
irritability, depression, dental problems, dehydration, mucus,
frequent colds, hyperactivity, Chrones disease, cravings,
diabetes, high blood pressures, kidney and liver problems,
constipation, diarrhoea, skin eruptions, foul smelling faeces
and urine, thrush, tiredness and even harsh foot and body odour
to name a few Don’t our children deserve better than this? Are
we going to be responsible for their heath problems later in
life? Shouldn’t we try and give them the best chance possible to
be healthy and holistic in this polluted world?
Our sickness is big business, so we can’t expect to get much
help on our quest for health Chemical producers sell their
chemicals to food companies who produce junk food Food
companies sell their products to consumers and in the process,
advertising, marketing and packaging companies all get rich
Even dentist benefit from half the population having decayed
teeth, plaque build up and gum disease This is not conspiracy
theory or an exaggeration of our situation; these companies have
absolutely no regard for your health
For the most part, chemicals approved for use in our foods by
the Food Drug Administration have never really had their
effects tested on humans, some countries even ban some of them
Scientist know the detrimental effects of the pesticides,
fertilisers, preservatives and additives which are in our food,
but once the foods have been irradiated (exposed to large
amounts of radiation to kill germs and bacteria) and refined,
they produce new mutant chemicals which all combine together and
they have no real idea of the effects of these new substances
Holistically, we now probably don’t know what certain foods
taste like in their natural state A banana milkshake, for
example, used to consist of milk, bananas and sugar blended
together Now there are over 10 different ingredients in them,
most of which are chemical additives I wouldn’t advise drinking
dairy milk and sugar ordinarily, but the original recipe is
miles better than the artificial soup they have now It is
important that our children appreciate the natural tastes of
fruits and vegetables, not just seasoning The younger the
child, the easier it is to feed them holistically, because for
the most part they don’t know the difference between mashed
carrots, brown rice and broccoli with or without seasoning, get
them used to that, don’t get them hooked on addictive foods and
an early age Even older children can be persuaded Be the
example and show them the benefits It really works, you can
improve their diets, take it step by step, slowly replace foods
if it makes it easier, find out which ones they like and let
your children help you
Try some of these simple alternatives, to make steps towards
better health, especially for our children:
Before you feed them, are they just thirsty? Get your children
drink plain water – hunger pangs can sometimes result from
dehydration So instead of them eating sweets or junk which will
further rob their bodies of water and nutrients, let them drink
water Water will also increase their concentration and help
their digestive system
At their main meals, try to balance proteins with carbohydrates,
not enough proteins may make them crave carbohydrates Include a
fibre as often as possible, as it is filling to them so they
want need to snack as much
Instead of fizzy or cordials – Honey water – 1 tbsp of honey to
a glass of warm water, stir until dissolved then cool Add
lemon, ginger or stevia (herb) if required)
Ice Tea – Use 4 of your favourite herbal tea bags or loose
herbsand a handful of raisins and stew in 1 litre of boiling
water for 20 minutes then leave to cool Add lemon or honey if
required
Instead of regular crisps : gluten free crisps, nuts seeds
(sources of minerals) and rice, oat and corn cakes (good sources
of fibre) All can be eaten with humus
Replace sweets with fresh fruit, if you buy dried, soak them
first and only eat a few, they are also quite high in sugar
Banana Milkshake – Blend 200mls of rice, oat or almond milk, 1
ripe banana, 1 tablespoon of honey, a bit of nutmeg and a few
drops of vanilla essence, blend for 90 seconds Lovely
