Toxins that the typical American is eating and drinking are the leading cause of the epidemic of an overweight population. Our bodies cannot handle the large amount of toxins we consume on a daily basis. A good way to eliminate these toxins is to do the Lemonade Diet cleanse or a detox for the body. Think processed foods are toxin-free? In the article "Why McDonald's Fries Taste So Good" (The Atlantic Monthly, January 2001), the author, says About 90 percent of the money that Americans now spend on food goes to buy processed food. He reports that the flavor is replaced with chemicals to add flavor. To illustrate, there are approximately 350 different chemicals in high quality artificial strawberry flavor.
One of the most widely used color additives, cochineal [pronounced koash-a-neil] extract is made from the bodies of [a small] female ... insect harvested mainly in Peru and the Canary Islands. The bug feeds on red cactus berries, and color from the berries accumulates in the females and their unhatched. The insects are collected, dried, and ground into a pigment. It takes about 70,000 of them to produce a pound of carmine, which is used to make processed foods look pink, red, or purple. Dannon strawberry yogurt gets its color from carmine, and so do many frozen fruit bars, candies, and fruit fillings, and Ocean Spray pink-grapefruit juice drink."
One of the most common natural fluorides is calcium fluoride. It is the least toxic. Even so, too much calcium fluoride produces changes to the teeth. The first stage displays bright white spots on the teeth. The second stage displays permanent brown stains and the third stage results in brittle, pitted tanned stained teeth. Fluoride is in reality the name of several chemical compounds that contain fluorine. When fluorine combines with an additional element, such as calcium or sodium, the compound created is called fluoride. Pure fluorine is not found in nature. This is for the reason that fluorine is one of the two most reactive elements in the world. In this manner it combines with many different elements.
The artificial sweetener Aspartame, also commonly known as NutraSweet, Equal, Equal Measure, and Spoonful is another good example of the toxicity in our foods today. The Food and Drug Administration has a system that allows people to report bad health reactions to food and drugs. According to David Rietz, in February of 1994, Aspartame made up more than 75% of all bad reactions reported!
Sodium fluoride is more toxic than what is in our water but, it was/is used for a century as a pesticide and rat poison until it was banned by the EPA in September 2005. It is the reason all fluoride toothpaste tubes carry warnings: Keep out of the reach of children under 6 years of age. If more than used for brushing [a pea-sized amount] is accidentally swallowed, get medical help or call a Poison Control Center right away. Sodium fluoride is slightly more toxic than stannous fluoride, which resulted in the death of 3-year old William Kennerly in Brooklyn, NY as a result of swallowing and not spitting out a routine fluoride treatment If sodium fluoride is not added to municipal water supplies, it has to be disposed of by taking it to a Class 1 Hazardous Waste landfill which would charge approximately $7000 for a truckload. It is used to fluoridate approximately 10% of municipal water supplies. .
How ever, there have been two studies showing the danger of the chemical soup based on historical data from approximately 400,000 children in Massachusetts, New York and several other states. Both of these studies, done by Professor Roger Masters of Dartmouth College, show that areas using the chemical soup to fluoridate have increased levels of lead in childrens blood resulting in increased learning disabilities, increased incidence of diagnosed hyperactivity, increased violent crime arrests and increased arrests for possession of drugs at the time of their arrest. In regards to the water we drink, an independent, impartial study of fluoridation by a blue ribbon panel of scientists from Natick, Massachusetts examined both sides of the question and recommended quite firmly not to fluoridate. They based their recommendations on many creditable studies showing increased tooth discoloration and malformation, increased hip fractures among the elderly, increased bone cancer among young males, reduced thyroid function, reduced kidney function, reduced IQ, increased chance of mongoloid birth, decreased fertility, and an increased cancer rate in general. - 14130
