“Contaminated Animal Feed” – Nutritional Roulette (part8)

Nutritional Roulette

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Contaminated Animal Feed

YES this is important
What livestock eat – you eat too!

Feed sources

GMO grains and corn : not as nutrient dense as non-GMO
Other feed sources are often indigestible by Cow stomachs or nutritionally void

Grains, Corn, Potatoes (and even candy!) used as feed

Increased pH levels in the cattle’s stomach
This leads to a health condition which requires the use of antibiotics

Antibiotic use in Chickens has been shown to increase Arsenic (and other metal) Toxicity

Non-organic sources of chicken having DOUBLE the concentration of toxic elements than that of chickens raised without antibiotics / hormones.

Unnatural Diets – Fish Farming

Wheat does not grow in the sea … so, obviously, fish should not be fed wheat. Makes sense.
But it is done anyway b/c some fish require lots of expensive feed (if they are to be fed a diet natural to them in the wild)

3 pounds of other (marketable) fish are needed to raise 1 lbs of Salmon

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

SUMMARY:

LOW QUALITY FEED FROM CROPS GROWN FROM NUTRITIONALLY VOID AND POTENTIALLY TOXIC SOILS

USE OF MANURE – THAT IS NUTRIENT VOID AND POTENTIALLY TOXIC – AS FERTILIZER

CONSUMPTION OF BOTH THESE PLANTS AND ANIMALS GROWN FROM POTENTIALLY TOXIC SOIL

A HUGE PROBLEM

> these animals that have been fed nothing but toxic crops grown from toxic soil – Literally everything in their system is nutritionally void!

The Question is – how do consumers at the top of this ‘empty’ food chain get any nutrients at all?

This is Why you need to be conscious of WHERE your food comes from, and PROCESSES by which they are made and sold.

“Whole Foods – Wholly Ignorant” – Nutritional Roulette (prt5/8)

Nutritional Roulette

<><><><><><><><><><><><>

WHOLE FOODS:

Wholly ignorant!

Vegan organic protein powder;

proven to contain high amounts of lead – by Mike Adam’s Lab.

AND,

even after confronting Wholefoods about it – Wholefoods continues to sell these products.

The reason these vegan protein powders, especially brown rice protein powders, have high levels of heavy metal toxins in them =

Because the raw materials are from China

In July of 2014, Mike Adams published this article

Heavy metal toxins in levels up to 2000% of the limit imposed by the ‘California Proposition 65’ (1986)

Ignorance or disbelief is the issue, not malice – however Whole Foods is participating whether they like it or not, in this reality: that corporations are allowing misleading health claims on products targeted to health-conscious consumers.

“MERCURY AMALGAMS” – Nutritional Roulette (prt3/8)

Nutritional Roulette

*Another Little Thought of Source of a Specific Heavy Metal Toxin:

Mercury Dental Amalgams

1/3^rd of mercury found in sewage sludge substrate is from mercury Amalgams and filling related implements. *World Health Organization. Mercury in health care. Water sanitation and health. Department of Protection of the Human Environment Policy. August 2005.
who.int/water_sanitation_health/medicalwaste/mercurypolpaper.pdf

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Dentistry

How your teeth are poisoning you

90% have received filling
8 cavities per person on average
World Health Organization has concluded that amalgam filling contributes to the vast majority of mercury accumulation in the human body
Chewing gum, brushing and fluoride use all increase mercury corrosion rates
Studies have shown that mental function improves just 10 months after removing mercury amalgams
Mercury finds its way into breast milk: the amount of which directly relates to the number of fillings the woman has.

Yet the American Dental Association insists that mercury-containing dental amalgams are a “safe, affordable, and durable material”

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Heavy Metals, Chemicals and Additives in our Food Part 3

The LAST of the Toxic Heavy Metals found in our food…

Tin (Sn)

(organic and inorganic compounds)

Sources

Shellfish*
Tin containers
Synthetic Tin production beginning in 1960ies
Stannous Fluoride*(II)

Symptoms

Headaches / Nausea
General fatigue
Cardiac arrest
Convulsions
Visual complications
Neurotoxin (when in certain organic forms *trimethyltin & *triethyltin)
Reduced Liver functions

HOW

Competes for binding sights with other Zinc – reducing its absorption rate.

Treatment

Chelation therapy – Quercetin
- a chemical found in fruits and veggies

================================

*FSAI – Food Safety Authority of Ireland, fish is the number 1 tin-accumulating culprit when it comes to food. Toxicology factsheet series. 2009.

*(II) composed of Tin and Fluoride –Flouristan = trade name “to prevent cavities”: linked to osteoporosis, caused death in 1979 when child swallowed gel spread on teeth.

(unfortunately) There is MUCH More Lurking in our Food…

chemical
pesticides
food additives
chemical preservatives
parabens
emulsifiers / thickening agents

Chemicals

remain mostly unlabeled in grocery stores
most chemicals (created by labs) cannot be recognized by the body –and can therefore become hazardous to our health!

BPA

Bisphenol A

A = a specific type – there are about 15 others….

1891 by Edward Charles Dodd in an attempt to develop an estrogen replacement.

some Tin containers are layered with BPA
depending on the pH of the food within it -> BOTH will leach into the food
BPA is stored in fat tissues – which can lead to long-term imbalances
- especially in sexual functions – due to BPA’s ‘estrogen-mimicking ability’
- lined to prostate and breast cancers
exclusively in foods and beverages = minimal environmental exposure

2012 the FDA found BPA in nearly every baby ‘sippy’ cup = consumers of these goods have been exposed for DECADES!

Minimizing body fat is the number 1 way to keep BPA level down
In general AVOID plastic containers – glass steel ceramic etc = much safer

Detox via Diet

Veggies
Herbs
Clean animal liver
Fermented foods
B vitamins especially Folate
Any safe product that promotes sex drive (maca, royal jelly, black tea, beets …)

=============================================================================

Hexane

Petrochemical solvent
Developed as Jet fuel

Exposure in mice led to Polyneuropathy

Weakness, Blurred vision, Headaches, Numbness
As well as Dermatitis, confusion, jaundice and Coma in humans

USE : to extract protein from soybeans and other oils and grains

Soy Lecithin: uses this process
All grain-fed livestock in the U.S. includes corn and soybean meal that has undergone this hexane protein extraction process

The Cornucopia Institute:

“The effects on consumers of hexane residue in soy foods have not been thoroughly studied and are not regulated by the U.S.D.A.”

Shouldn’t the potential health risks be fully analyzed before a chemical is used in food products?
The Cornucopia Institute found Hexane residue in levels 10 times higher than what the FDA consider normal ….

Why? – Because of questionable practices

The hexane procedure involved bathing the food stuff in hexane
They are then mechanically separated

HOWEVER

Even the EPA admits that a small quantity of hexane will remain left behind

No one is checking for hexane residue

What is ‘all natural’ about washing our food in chemicals?

=================================================================================

Pesticides

5.2 billion pounds in use as of 2007

Dominated by 10 firms, her are the 6 largest

Bayer
(largest chemical producer, 7^th largest seed company)
Syngenta
(2^nd largest in agrochemicals, 3^rd in seeds)
BASF
Dow AgroSciences
Monsanto
(5^th agrochemical producer but 1^st in seeds)
DuPont
(follows Monsanto in both categories)

Pesticides and GMO go hand in hand

Crops are ‘enhanced’ to withstand the specific chemical agents dumped on them

But these pesticides interfere with our endocrine system and reproduction!

Many pesticides purposely target neurological and nervous systems
Opens the door for super-resistant bugs and weeds!

Glyphosate

‘Roundup’
Agent Orange (used in Vietnam war)

Triazines

Herbicide
75 million pounds applied on corn, sugarcane, golf courses (etc.) per year

Organochlorines / Organophosphates

Insecticide
Not easily broken down, collects readily in fatty tissues.
Correlated with IQ reduction in young children

THERE IS MUCH MORE…

Also have a KILLER effect on Bees!

Not in the good way
40% of hives have disappeared
Honey from Canada and the U.S. contain at least 6 different pesticides per sample.

==================================================================================

Food Additives

1958

The Delaney Clause

The FDA cannot approve any additives known to cause cancer in lab subjects –Whatsoever!

1988

Michael R. Taylor (former Monsanto VP for public policy)

‘De Minimis’ interpretation:

If risk is too minor to warrant consideration, they can be approved.

NO consideration is paid to chronic dosage over a long term

It is now up to independent researchers to PROVE these additives are harmful
Isn’t this backward?

Aspartame

The most addictive neurotoxin still being sold on shelve
Aspartame induced serotonin inhibition causes you to eat more
Effects women more than men
Accumulates in the brain and other organs increase risk of tumors
74 of 166 studies on aspartame have been funded by the aspartame industry…

MSG (Monosodium Glutamate)

Produced by fermenting starches = creates an ‘unbound free glutamate’ which is an excitatory neurotransmitter of the brain
Linked to brain damage, neurodegenerative disorders, reproductive and behavioral issues and cancer.
Interferes with hypothalamus – linked to obesity

Also contribute to MSG levels

Hydrolyzed vegetable protein
Texturized protein
Yeast extract
Natural meat tenderizer
Soy protein isolate
Natural flavor
Gelatin
Etc

Vitamins proven to help minimize effects
- C, E, A, D, K
- Resveratrol
- L-Taurine
- Magnesium

Artificial Colors

Related to developmental behavioral disorder in the 1970s
Linked to issues in nearly every system in the body

Red No.40 = linked to tumor growth (ketchup)

Yellow No.5 = hives, eczema, asthma

Michael Jacobson (executive director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest)

“the continued use of these unnecessary artificial dyes is the secret shame of the food industry and the regulators who watch over it … The purpose of these chemicals is often to mask the absence of real food, to increase the appeal of a low-nutrition product to children … Who can tell the parents of kids with behavioral problems that this (using artificial dyes in food) is truly worth the risk?”

=================================================================================

Chemical Preservatives

Cosmetic Foods

Chemicals can dress up ‘Frankenstein Foods’ to make them palatable, last longer and appear nutritional, fresh and delicious –when they are nothing but harmful (and often delicious)

Benzoic Acid

Preservative

Sodium Benzoate

Added to acidic foods to stave off microbial growth
Sunkist Orange juice, Mountain Dew, Nestea, Pepsi Max

Potassium Benzoate

Triggers allergic reaction and increases ADHD symptoms
Diet coke and diet ice tea

Calcium Benzoate

Similar symptoms as above
Low sugar products like meats, cereals

=================================================================================

Parabens

1990s – mimic female hormones and is known to disrupt the endocrine system.

2004 – Propylparaben and Methylparaben – linked to breast cancer.

Propyl Gallate

Popcorn, mayonnaise, chewing gum, frozen dinners
Inhibits and kills human endothelial calls
Banned in some countries – but not in the U.S.

Sulfites

Wines to stop them from spoiling
Dairy, fish, gelatins, puddings and jams, dried fruits.
Increase risk of liver disease due to oxidative damage
Can trigger asthma
Approved EVEN THOUGH it has killed people

=================================================================================

Emulsifiers and Thickening Agents

Carrageenan

Fat substitute
In certified Organic foods
Causes inflammation in many forms
No nutritional purpose

Soy Lecithin

Separation by mechanical Hexane process

Polysorbate

Facilitate the transport of pathogens and reduces immune response

Carbon Monoxide

Can help make old foods seem fresh – even when past their prime = could be purchasing spoiled meats!

Potassium Bromate

Strengthens gluten used in enriched flours
A carcinogen that targets the kidneys and thyroid via oxidative damage

Sodium Nitrite

Prevent botulism and a colour fixative
Increase in leukemia
Interacts with other chemicals and causes issues throughout the body

Stop buying processed meats. Period.

Vitamin C and E, as well as Cod liver oil is proven to reduce some of the effects of these preservatives in meat when taken before they are consumed

Toxic Fertilizer, Poison Fillings, and Shady Retail Practices

Good Day All,

This post might scare you a little….

The Good News is that next week I will post some practical solutions / steps you can take to avoid all these health dangers – Until Then!

Toxic Elements in ‘Fertilizers’

“The greatest concern with concentrated livestock operations is not only the low-quality food that is produced by raising livestock animals under stressed condition to maximize space while providing inadequate nutritional inputs and unnatural dietary choices, but also, the biomagnification of toxins.”

– Mike Adams :Health Ranger. *‘Food Forensics: the hidden toxins lurking in your food and how you can avoid them for lifelong health’. 2016. BenBella, Books Inc.

+

Mystery Meat / Nutritional Roulette

150% more marketable meat is harvested PER COW than was in 1975…. HOW!?!

Feeding practices are regulated very little! -> Mass-marketed foods in general tend to have questionable practices.
Feeding animals unnatural diets creates nutritional imbalances in them – and therefore there will be nutritional deficiencies in those who eat them.
Grains, Corn (and even candy!) have been used as feed – which is NOT properly digested; lowers pH levels – causing acidosis; which must be treated by antibiotics!
- This mean that Factory Farming creates the very conditions which require the use of thousands of dollars antibiotics and pharmaceuticals *(increasing the likelihood of antibacterial resistant superbugs).

Bio-Fertilizers

Cattle, Poultry and Swine (etc) waste; contains traces of ALL heavy metals which end up in ‘Bio’-fertilizers.

WHY?

B/C the Feed that is used is high in:
- heavy metals,
- pesticides,
- antibiotics,
- Pharmaceutical compounds, artificial hormones, bacteria

> All these Toxins ‘Bioaccumulate’ in the plants grown from toxic soils,

> They get transferred to the animals that eat these plants,

> and finally they arrive in humans – who eat both the toxic plants and toxic animals:

Higher levels of toxins in those higher up in the food chain ->
Those higher on the food chain have the higher concentration of toxins (especially in their waste).
This waste then ironically gets used as fertilizer for crops and feed for animals.

+Example#1

Sewage ‘Sludge’ is OK fertilizer

says EPA, USCC, WEF (‘Biosolids’)

[Banded in 1992 after decades of use – still practiced in places like China]

“Long standing policy encourages the beneficial reuse and recycling of industrial wastes, including hazardous wastes, when such wastes can be used as safe and effective substitutes for virgin raw materials.” 1997.

*U.S. Environment Protection Agency. U.S. Environment fact sheet: waste-derived fertilizers. Solid waste and emergency response. EPA530-F-97-053. Dec 1997, www.nepis.epa.gov/Exe/ZyPURL.cgi?Dockey=10000LTW.txt

+Example#2

‘Dillo Dirt‘(2016)

Company from Austin Texas: Composed of human waste.

A ‘Biosolid’ on the retail shelves now that is NOT for eatable vegetable gardens (in fine print) : but sold on same shelf as common garden compost.
- Contains ALL heavy metal toxins
- As well as Fungicides

= Shady Retail Practices…

+Example#3

Mercury Dental Amalgams

1/3^rd of mercury found in sewage sludge substrate is from mercury Amalgams and filling related implements.

*World Health Organization. Mercury in health care. Water sanitation and health. Department of Protection of the Human Environment Policy. August 2005. who.int/water_sanitation_health/medicalwaste/mercurypolpaper.pdf

<><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Dentistry – How your teeth are poisoning you

90% have received filling
8 cavities per person on average

Impossible to Grow Organic in China

‘AIR’POCALYPSE

World’s largest exporter
World’s largest carbon pollution emitter
In 2013 – 3.3 million hectares of land considered too polluted to grow crops
90% of groundwater is polluted
½ of exported rice contains high levels of cadmium
In 2009: 78% of the tilapia, 70% of the apple juice in the U.S. was imported from china
Along with environmental pollution issues there are:
- Lax safety laws
- Inability to enforce standards
- Unsafe food additives and labeling
- Drug residue
YET only 2%of imported food from China gets tested!

*Even foods labeled ‘Organic’ (if from China) WILL contain traces of toxins due to these conditions and practices.

The Take Away – Be aware of where your food is grown, and educate yourself as to where the most polluted places on earth are (then try to avoid products from there when making purchasing decisions – aka – support local small business!)
