Avoid These Food Additives

High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is the latest atrocity from our food industry. Many health experts consider it the major factor for the obesity epidemic. It's used in lieu of sugar because it's cheaper, not because it's healthier.

A much higher percentage of calories are stored as fat with HFCS than sugar. Also, the liver is taxed considerably more, leading to a cascade of digestive problems that compound fat issues. Corn syrup or corn sugars are the same as HFCS.

Besides destroying brain cells, MSG stifles your brain's natural hunger suppressors with taste sensations urging you to eat more. 

Aspartame and other artificial sweeteners destroy brain cells worse than MSG, while disrupting your metabolism. Artificial sweeteners are found in foods that are considered "sugar free" or "low fat." They are known to cause more harm and adverse health affects than using regular sugar.  Soda, yogurt, ice cream, chewing gum, meal replacement products, diet or supposed health bars.

Keeping up with food industry's deceptive labeling of toxic taste additives can be too stressful. Simply avoid processed foods and take the time and effort to purchase and prepare organic whole produce, grains, and fruits instead of relying on processed and junk foods.
