Prepare and cook your own food at home.

Do not buy pre-prepared food of any kind. Buy only the meat, the fish, the vegetables, and learn to cook and serve them, like your Momma and Grandma did!

The food industry doesn’t give a damn about your health. They have a totally different agenda: make money. That’s done by selling you as much food as possible and with the maximum profit margin possible.

Translated that means sell you tons of worthless junk, that doesn’t cost as much to manufacture as “real” food does to grow or collect.

But people are not totally stupid (well…er…awkward cough…) No, people can take steps to protect themselves but the food industry achieves its goal by totally lying and obscuring what they are really doing.

They advertise on a vast scale, using words they know will sell, like “heart healthy”, “diet”, “natural” and “organic”, when these terms are nothing more than blatant lies.

There’s one running now, on American TV, which suggests the XYZ breakfast cereal is “heart healthy”, when it’s made of refined carbs garbage, topped with sugar.

In what possible sense can that be heart healthy?

We have the malignant (and I do mean malignant, from malign, meaning intending to kill) campaigns of the margarine industry boasting their product is superior to natural fats, despite ABUNDANT evidence that fats used in margarine are deadly for heart and arteries.

So-called polyunsaturates have been hyped by shill scientists for decades, trying to get people to believe that these are totally safe. In fact polyunsaturates displace essential fatty acids (which are also polyunsaturates and so compete for space), with disastrous consequences.

Beaver’s Bum

Look at what they call “natural”. Did you know, you sometimes eat beaver anal gland oil? (from cuddly beavers, who get their a** hacked off for your delectation) It’s called castoreum and appears in many foods as a “natural flavor”, as well as in commercial perfumes.

What about crushed beetles? You never? Oh yes you did. That’s cochineal or red dye 4, sometimes known as carmine (E120); from boiled and crushed cochineal beetles.

It’s widely used in the food industry to supply a bright red food coloring in ice cream, sweets, drinks and more.

Starbucks is coming under fire from vegans for using ground-up bugs to color its Frappuccinos but most people, frankly, have no idea what they are swallowing. Never mind the calories!

E540 is powdered animal bones. Is that “natural”?

What about shellac (E904)? That’s “natural”; it comes from an insect that lives in Thailand called Kerria lacca, the female of which makes sticky secretions.

The ever-inventive food industry often calls it ‘confectioner’s glaze’ as if it were handmade by a twinkly-eyed candy-creator.

Then there are the plain lies. Have you heard the mathematician joke: there are lies, damned lies…and statistics. If feel we could rule through statistics and put “food industry propaganda”.

For example, “vitamin enriched”. Big food companies are pumping vitamins into everything from chocolate chip waffles to margarine and then trying to sell it on as a healthy option. But what they put in is only a fraction of what they take out! That’s not enrichment; that’s poverty!

Think of it this way: if a guy came up to you in the street and robbed you of $100, then gave you back $5 before walking away, would you consider yourself “enriched”?

What about “only 100 calories”? Sounds good. But don’t be fooled. Those 100 calories will be empty, highly-refined sugar calories that will send your blood glucose levels soaring, then crash you back down into hunger, whilst giving you nothing beneficial at all.

Don’t Get Me Started on Fat Free

Sounds good, right? Don’t get me started on the fact that many of our vital vitamins and nutrients are fat-soluble, so on a low fat diet, we suffer from extreme deficiencies.

Get this instead: since fat gives food a lot of flavor, manufacturers have to do something to make fat-free food taste better.

So they add salt, high fructose corn syrup, modified food starch (GMO origins), free glutamates (MSG, hydrolyzed vegetable protein and natural flavors), diglycerides (sugar) and gums (guar and xanthan).

These often contain more calories and carbs than real foods!

MSG

I mentioned MSG. This is one of the most toxic of all allowed food ingredients. Why is it still being sold? Corruption; phoney consumer protection that secretly works for the food industry, to protect it.

Manufacturers have realized that people don’t want to buy MSG. But they don’t remove it (because it’s highly addictive and they want you hooked on their products), so they disguise it.

They re-label it. You find it under a host of names; Here are just a few:

• Glutamic acid (E 620)
• Glutamate (E 620)
• Monosodium glutamate (E 621)
• Monopotassium glutamate (E 622)
• Calcium glutamate (E 623)
• Monoammonium glutamate (E 624)
• Magnesium glutamate (E 625)
• Natrium glutamate
• Anything “hydrolyzed”
• Any “hydrolyzed protein”
• Calcium caseinate, sodium caseinate
• Yeast extract, Torula yeast
• Yeast food, Yeast nutrient
• Autolyzed yeast
• Vetsin
• Ajinomoto
• Umami

This stuff is so toxic, you would wonder it’s allowed anywhere for human consumption. I wouldn’t give it to a rat! Why not?

Because one study fed rats large amounts of MSG over an extended period of time. The report declared that the amount of adrenaline, dopamine and serotonin that the rats produced went up significantly as their adrenal gland grew in weight. By 60 weeks of age the MSG-fed rats had developed a form of Type II diabetes.1

It’s Worse Than That

Trouble is, MSG have worse effects than just making you addicted. MSG appears to cause weight gain in its own right.

No—I don’t mean you get addicted, you eat too much, you gain weight—I mean, given equal calorie intake, someone swallowing MSG will gain weight, compared to someone who does not. That’s surprising, even for me.

Industry scientists (and their promoters) want it downplayed and “it’s not a big difference” they say. Well, that’s phoney, because MSG foods are just about universal and, unless you are careful to avoid it, you eat MSG every single meal, in some form or other. There is a cumulative effect.

Why MSG and weight gain may be linked isn’t clear but is most probably due to the discovery that people who consumed more MSG produced more leptin. MSG consumption may thus lead to leptin resistance and over eating.

How very cosy. However, it leaves thinking people dazed and shivering with cold. This guy was head honcho for blazing the perverted course of science for one of the most evil empires on Earth. Monsanto is a MONSTER and will destroy us all if their agribusiness takeover succeeds (why wouldn’t it, now with Taylor neatly in place?)

Look, I don’t care how much money Monsanto makes. But they have consistently LIED to the people, to Congress and to the scientific community about what they are doing, safety issues, fake science and cover ups and now their international business campaign to tie up every farmer on the planet to be beholden to their ridiculous and dangerous products and methods.

I have said over and over that their blind policy of spreading only their own seeds, creating a monoclonal species harvest stock, puts us at risk of worldwide famine and decimation (see my “End Of World” scenario in Letter From Serendipity, issue 13)

One last word: Taylor is a JD, not an MD. How can he POSSIBLY be an expert in food safety?

Sorry Mr. O, you’re goosed.

In fact 2 studies just published also concerned cholesterol (that’s in addition to the one I just commented on, using IV infusions of “good” cholesterol).

Study 1

In the first study, people who took a probiotic supplement containing a beneficial bacteria saw their cholesterol levels improve, and in the second study a freeze-dried concoction made from a genetically engineered tomato had a similar effect on mice.

In study number one, 127 people with high cholesterol took a twice-daily supplement of a special strain of the Lactobacillus reuteri bacterium for nine weeks. They experienced an average 11.6 percent drop in LDL “bad” cholesterol and a 9.1 percent drop in total cholesterol, compared to those taking a placebo.

That’s better than statins!

Other strains of L. reuteri are found naturally in breads and yogurts, but researchers at the Canadian probiotics company Micropharma, which funded the study, say they’ve formulated a strain that seems to help block the absorption of cholesterol. Yeah, well, they would say that.

The strain, called L. reuteri NCIMB 30242 is going to be marketed as Cardioviva.

Study 2.

A second study looked at a genetically engineered tomato that produces a peptide (a type of protein) that mimics the effect of HDL “good” cholesterol when eaten.

I don’t need to worry that this is a false finding. It could well be true. But that doesn’t make it good for us. Out human microbiome, down in the gut, has tens of thousands of organisms, including viruses, bacteria, protozoa and parasites.  There are MILLIONS of genes down there in our guts.

So much so that there are more genes in our human microbiome than we humans possess for ourselves. The most amazing scientific breakthrough in the last 10 years has been the sudden recognition of the fact that THESE MICROBIAL GENES TELL OUR BODIES WHAT TO DO!

It’s wild science—but exciting.

My point is that what happens in a mouse intestine has very little relevance, if any, to what will work on the human “eco-system”.

For more understanding of this new discovery and how humans are really a “super-organism” consisting of our tissues and cells PLUS thousands of other species, and how this composite behaves so differently, you need to get my latest book “Fire In The Belly”.

You can get a copy here: http://www.fireinthebellybook.com

Understand that many problem of health and medicine have been cracked, once we come to understand the nature of the human microbiome.

You will also come to fully understand the nightmare of antibiotic resistance and what damage the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics have done to our species, over the years.

More on that in another of my books: “How To Survive In A World Without Antibiotics”.

[CITATION: as previous article]

The slick, oozy Mr Howard Schultz (owner of Starbuck’s) doesn’t give a damn about you. In fact he doesn’t give a damn about anybody.

In the light if the latest revelation that GMO foods cause massive tumors in animals, under careful experimental conditions, you would expect that all concerned food industry suppliers would stop dealing with suppliers of corn and other GMO crops.

It’s their duty.

But they don’t see it that way. Schultz and his Starbuck’s empire is just one among many traders that have taken position: WE DON’T GIVEN A DAMN ABOUT DANGERS TO OUR CUSTOMERS, WE ONLY WANT THE MONEY.

This putting profits ahead of human safety is very typical of the greedy, dishonest, fake and manipulative food industry. Starbuck’s, of course, are not the only crooks. Add MacDonald’s, KFC, Burger King and these days even WholeFoods. The whole lot of them!

They come on with their smooth, friendly advertizements, to make you think they are practically part of your family. It’s all to do with building trust, of course. But instead of building trust by being trustworthy, they do it the American way: with attractive images of some vanilla Momma, lovely happy kids with not a speck of dirt on their clothes and a father who is intelligent and friendly (not like Homer Simpson) plus nice soothing music, all in a home with not a sight of sweaty socks or the stuff I remember at home….

Uuuggh!

By their products you shall know them. And, trust me, Schultz is a phoney along with the rest of them. Almost all US corn (and that means all manufactured foods with labels like cornstarch, maltodextrin, dextrose and HFCS) is from GMO crops: virtually everything there is to eat in Starbuck’s. These products are dangerous, PROVEN dangers and still the big chains won’t act to take a nickel less in profits, and won’t act to safeguard their customers.
