Beth Greer exposes the dangerous additives in our food at the 2018 The Real Truth About Health Conference. Watch the full video here (Length 21:03 ). We’ve summarized the key points below.
Key Takeaways:
Ingredients to avoid:
Food Additives
Artificial food dyes
High fructose corn syrup
“Natural” flavors – actually made in a lab
MSG – monosodium glutamate -a neurotoxin – destroys brain cells
Aspartame/artificial sweeteners
Preservatives – like citric acid and calcium propionate - linked to ADHD behavior in rats; many banned in Europe, UK and Japan.
Pesticides
Workers that spray glysophates and other pesticides wear Haz-mat suits; toxic residue remains on our fruits and vegetables and is water soluble; highly soluble pesticides travel with water and move into our environment.
“Made with” can be as low as 1% of the product (i.e., “made with” whole grains)
*Look for Made with 100%
Identify Organic
Organic labeling will have a 5-digit number on the packaging or directly on the produce starting with a 9.
Is Organic Better???
