********* 8 Foods you must never eat ********
I want to help you stay that way for as long as possible!
So I'm going to tell you about 8 common foods (or food ingredients) that should be labeled with a skull and crossbones because they will help ensure you're horizontal, without a pulse and deep-sixed long before you should be.
These foods that are so deadly and harmful that eating (or drinking) them on a regular basis will most assuredly chop years off your life, and guarantee that the years you have left will find you facing sickness, disease and very likely obesity.
I call them the Evil Eight.
Here they are:
1) Soda
ANY soda -- diet or regular -- is acid in a bottle (or can). It's SO acidic that it takes 32 CUPS of water to neutralize the acid in just ONE can of soda in your body!
Having so much acid in your system puts a tremendous strain on your kidneys, which filter acid out of your bloodstream and put it into your urine.
Your body also uses its own alkaline minerals (including calcium from your bones and magnesium from your muscles) to neutralize the acid. Eventually that can lead to osteoporosis, weak muscles, tooth decay and brittle, porous bones that fracture easily.
Plus soda contains the worst form of sugar on the planet--high fructose corn syrup (more on that further down).
Don't think diet soda is any better--because here are the dangers of artificial sweeteners:
2) Artificial sweeteners
Simply put, they're poisons. No other way to say it.
Take aspartame (NutraSweet), for example--the artificial sweetener found in most diet sodas.
A recent comprehensive study showed that drinking just ONE 12 oz. diet soda a day increases your risk of leukemia by an alarming 42%!
Plus the study also showed a 102% higher risk of multiple myeloma and 31% increased risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in men!
Note that diet soda is by far THE largest source of aspartame in the US. Every year, we consume about 5,250 tons of aspartame in total, of which about 86% (4,500 tons) comes from diet sodas.
Plus here are some other documented side effects of aspartame:
Eyes:
Blindness in one or both eyes
Decreased vision and/or other eye problems such as blurring, flashes, tunnel vision
Eye pain; Dry eyes/decreased tears
Nerves:
Seizures
Headaches/migraines
Dizziness
Confusion/memory loss
Severe drowsiness and sleepiness
Numbness of the arms and legs
Slurring of speech
Tremors/trembling
Psychological/Psychiatric:
Severe depression
Irritability/agitation
Anxiety/phobias (fears)
Personality changes
Chest:
Heart palpitations/rapid heart beat
Shortness of breath
High blood pressure
Digestive:
Nausea
Diarrhea, sometimes with blood in stools
Stomach pain/pain while swallowing
Skin and Allergies:
Itching without a rash; Hives
Endocrine and Metabolic:
Loss of control of diabetes
Thinning or loss of hair
Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
Severe PMS symptoms
But wait! There's more:
The most severe effects of aspartame poisoning are:
Death
Irreversible brain damage
Birth defects, including mental retardation
Ulcers
Aspartame addiction and increased craving for sweets
Hyperactivity in children
Severe depression
Aggressive behavior
Suicidal tendencies
Cancer
I know what you're thinking at this point.
What about Splenda?
Answer: It's no better.
Studies are associating Splenda with a growing list of medical problems that include:
Flushing or redness of the skin; rashes
Anxiety; panic attacks
Nausea; bloating; diarrhea; vomiting
Stomach cramps
Depression; becoming withdrawn
Feeling forgetful; memory loss
Headaches
Feeling irate, impatient, hypersensitive, moody
Chest and body pains
Seizures
If you want to use a non-calorie sweetener, use Stevia. It's been around for centuries and has a proven track record of SAFETY.
3) High fructose corn syrup
High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is directly associated with the following conditions:
Kidney disease
Osteoporosis
High cholesterol
Raised insulin levels (leading to diabetes)
High uric acid levels (which can result in arthritis)
Obesity
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Plus studies have shown unsafe levels of mercury in high fructose corn syrup.
Mercury is a poison to your brain and nervous system. It has been linked to fertility problems, memory and vision loss, chronic fatigue, neuro-muscular dysfunction, autism, heart disease, Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis.
What makes this problem SO huge is the fact that HFCS is found in just about EVERY type of product on the store shelves! In addition to (regular) soda, that includes ketchup, barbecue sauces, salad dressings, gravies, drink mixes, breads, cereals, cookies & cakes, ice cream, crackers, pastries (including Pop-tarts), stuffing, granola bars, cottage cheese, yogurt, and even cough syrup and cold medicines!
So what should you do?
Read labels and find alternatives. Organic products typically don't contain HFCS.
Plus, the less you rely on packaged foods, the better (more on that below).
4) Hydrogenated oils
Hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils contain trans-fats, which are fats that don't exist in nature, so your body CANNOT metabolize them. Instead, they just accumulate in your tissues, clog your arteries and cause inflammation, cell damage and heart disease.
These Franken-fats are found in deep fried foods, margarine, baked goods, powdered and artificial coffee creamers, and most processed (packaged) foods.
Look for the words "hydrogenated" or "partially hydrogenated" on package labels. If you see them, do NOT buy the product.
5) Nitrite cured meats
Cured meats made with sodium nitrite (or sodium nitrate) include hot dogs, lunch meat, bacon, ham and corned beef.
When you eat nitrites, they can be converted into nitrosamines (which are potent cancer-causing chemicals) in your body. The primary types of cancers associated with nitrite consumption are colo-rectal, stomach and pancreatic.
In addition, children born to women who ate a lot of cured meats during pregnancy have a two to three times greater risk of developing a brain tumor than those born to mothers who did not eat cured meats.
6) Processed foods
Processed "foods" include all packaged foods (in boxes, cans, jars, bags or frozen cartons) that contain ingredients other than a real, unaltered food.
Although the appeal behind them is convenience and an indefinite shelf life, they are extremely dangerous and loaded with chemicals and preservatives that your body was never meant to ingest.
Besides the chemicals they contain, processed foods are deadly to your health for these reasons:
* They provide no usable naturally occurring nutrients; they use up loads of your digestive enzymes, and then basically turn to nothing but waste.
* They contain no water to transport nutrients or carry away wastes from your body, like fruits and vegetables do. Instead, they add to the waste pile, making you very toxic.
* Since processed "foods" don’t nourish you, even though your stomach may be physically full, your body thinks it still needs more food because it hasn’t gotten nourished from what you've eaten...so your hunger bell will ring again soon, my friend.
That’s why you can polish off an entire family-size bag of Doritos then feel hungry again an hour later.
It's no wonder that 1 out of 3 people in the US is obese and those numbers continue to climb, huh?
7) Farmed salmon
Farmed salmon are crammed into little pens and fed things they were never meant to ingest like soy, poultry litter, and hydrolyzed chicken feathers.
As a result, farmed salmon is lower in vitamin D than fresh caught and higher in contaminants such as carcinogens, PCBs and pesticides like dioxin and DDT.
Fresh caught salmon (and ALL kinds of fish) is always best.
8) Tap water
All water is NOT created equal.
Since our bodies are naturally (meant to be) alkaline, our water must be alkaline too. But thanks to acid rain and the chemicals added by municipalities, that's not always a given.
Regular (unfiltered) tap water is acidic and contains harmful toxins like fluoride and chlorine.
Avoid tap water (this includes water fountains) at ALL possible cost, no matter what you may read in the news or your local politician may tell you.
Strive to drink bottled or filtered water of some type.
So there you have them--the Evil Eight.
But knowing about the Evil Eight is only half of the equation.
Because it's even MORE important to avoid them at all cost AND help to undo the harmful effects they may have already had on your health!
Here are the best ways YOU can fight the Evil Eight:
