When we talk about calories, fat, protein, carbohydrates and sodium, simple carbs, complex carbs and the glycemic index, saturated and unsaturated fats, all of these have some level of importance.
but the most important and the most significant components that lead to weight gain and obesity are the food additives, chemicals and food porcessing techniques. So it's not really the food itself, it's the man-made additives and chemicals in the food that is harming us. Making us bigger and sicker then ever.
This include the bovine growth hormone and antibiotics injected into meat, poultry and dairy products, flavor enhancers, such as monosodium glutamate, artificial sweeteners such as (aspartame and sucrolos) This also includes man-made sugars such as high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup dextrose, sucrose, fructose, highly refined white sugar, processed molasses, processed honey, malto dextrin, etc., plus over 15,000 chemicals that are routinely added to virtually every product you buy.
Man-made trans fats such as hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils cause weight gain and obesity. Additionally, food processing techniques such as pasteurization, which is done on virtually every product in a bottle, carton, homogenization, and irradiation (which is done to over 50% of all food products sold in America) ALL cause weight gain.
America is by far the fattest and unhealthiest country there is. Every year more and more people are on diets, eating diet foods, choosing low calorie, low fat, low carb products and consuming record amounts of diet pills. Numerous people are purchasing exercise equipment, and working out in gyms, buying exercise videos, magazines and books. The diet and weight loss industry is just feasting on our money. Yet, each year people are continuing to still get sicker and fatter. Nothing is working Hmmmmmm,
Below is a list of just a couple things I found that related to me.
Lack of enzymes. Today's food supply is void of living enzymes. Any food in a jar or a can has been pasteurized, meaning it has been heated to over 180 degrees for 30 minutes, killing all the enzymes in the food. Microwaving food kills the enzymes. Even commercially grown fruits and vegetables are devoid of enzymes due to the gassed used in the ripening process and dowsing the fruits and vegetables in heavily chlorinated water and irradiation. Without enough enzymes you can never correct low metabolism and will always have gas, bloating, constipation, and slow digestion.
Artificial sweeteners. All man-made sweeteners slow metabolism. This includes aspartame and sucralose. Trade names are NutraSweet and Splenda ( I personally lived off of Splenda)
Yo-yo dieting. Every time you go on a diet and lose weight and gain it all back you are in fact lowering your body's internal thermostat and internal body weight set point. Every time you diet to lose weight your metabolism goes lower.
Breakfast. Not eating breakfast keeps your metabolism low.
Food additives. If food is not 100% organic, the food is loaded with herbicides, pesticides, chemical fertilizers, antibiotics and over 15,000 man-made chemicals.
FOOD MANUFACTURERS
Food manufacturers are making food with the sole purpose of creating a physical chemical addiction to food. Sounds crazy huh? But, how many of us say the same thing. I can't help it, I'm hungry or its so good you just can't eat one?
So in general, It's not my fault or yours that we are sick. It's the man-made chemicals, additives, and food processing techniques that are the main issues. Even our healthy fruits and vegetables are contaminated along with the chemicals they put in our medicines, lotions and creams we put on us.
The food companies spend Billions of dollars a year in advertising in magazines, newspapers, television and radio. they want you fat so they can make more money. If you are cured you will automatically be eating and buying less.
THE DRUG INDUSTRY
The drug industry knows that people who are overweight, fat and obese have more medical symptoms and buy and take more prescription and non-prescription drugs. So there is a financial motivation to KEEP people overweight. Overweight people are sicker an are great customers to the drug industry. They do NOT want to cure or prevent diseases. Doing so would put them out of business.
The two industries are working together.
Drugs, both prescription and non-prescription, have side effects that include lowering metabolism and increasing hunger. This makes people fatter, making them buy more food, increasing the profits of the food companies. This also makes people more sicker, therefore, buying and using more drugs. It's a vicious cycle.
Virtually all cancerous tumors are loaded with herbicides and pesticides used in the production of most commercial foods. The food companies are making food purposefully to creat new illnesses. The food companies, for example, designed and engineered food that would create the epidemic of such diseases as acid reflux, depression, insomnia, restless leg syndrome, constipation, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. The drug companies knew this in advance. This is why when a new disease becomes common there is already a drug to be marketed.
THE DIET INDUSTRY
The diet industry sees it all and they gotta get theirs too. The weigh loss or diet industry consists of companies that sell exercise equipment, weight loss pills, prepackaged foods, low fat, low carb, low calorie, sugar free, diet foods.
If what I'm saying sounds insane just look at the advertisements on tv or magazines and newspapers. They all promote either food, prescriptions and non-prescription medicines and diet and weight loss breakthroughs.
I will blog more tomorrow.
God bless
