The 8th part of the Toxic Cocktail for our DNA #Aspartame

Aspartame

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener. It is marketed under the brand names of NutraSweet and Equal. Many people with diabetes use aspartame instead of table sugar.You’ll find it in sugar-free beverages, gum, candy, instant desserts, low-calorie desserts, gelatin, drink mixes,” lite” and “diet” labels, power bars, soft drinks, and some brands of chewable vitamin supplements.Today, aspartame is an ingredient in literally thousands of different food and drink products.  In fact, it is often marketed in “health products” such as diet sodas.

Serious side effects: headaches, nausea, depression, rashes, seizures, dizziness, blurred vision, insomnia, ringing in the ears, and hallucinations. Some studies show that it may even cause cancer. Learn more about the dangers of aspartame. According to an article on Mercola.com, aspartame is one of the most toxic substances being added to our foods….Aspartame accounts for over 75 percent of the adverse reactions to food additives reported to the FDA. Many of these reactions are very serious including seizures and death.  A few of the 90 different documented symptoms listed in the report as being caused by aspartame include: Headaches/migraines, serious vision and eye disorder dizziness, seizures, nausea, numbness, muscle spasms, weight gain, rashes, 

The 7th part of the Toxic Cocktail for our DNA #BHA #BHT

BHA and BHT (Butylated Hydroxyanisole and Butylated Hydroxytoluene)

BHA and BHT are Petroleum-derived antioxidants that are used as preservatives used to preserve fats and oils.  They prevent foods from oxidizing and spoiling too quickly.You’ll find it in breakfast cereals, chewy granola bars, desserts, candy, chewing gum, potato chips, vegetable oils, shortening, butter and sausage. Petroleum-derived antioxidants used to preserve fats and oils.                                                     

Side effects: BHA and BHT are oxidants which form potentially cancer-causing reactive compounds in your body. Other side effects of these food additives include elevated cholesterol, liver and kidney damage, infertility, sterility, immune disorders, increased susceptibility to carcinogens, and behavioral problems. The Department of Health and Human Services classifies the preservative as “reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.”

The 6th part of the Toxic Cocktail for our DNA #BPA

Bisphenol-A (BPA)  

BPA is one of the most widely used chemicals in the entire world.  If you eat canned food or you drink bottled water you most likely have BPA in your home and you don’t even know it.

According to Natural News, BPA is not only in virtually every American home and has  been linked to some very serious health problems….

It is used to harden plastic in everything from infant and water bottles to mobile phone and computer casings, and also to make linings for cans of food, beverages and infant formula. Yet a growing body of research has implicated the chemical as an endocrine (hormone) disruptor that can lead to cancer, birth defects, behavioral problems and other diseases.

The 5th part of the Toxic Cocktail for our DNA #BVO

Brominated Vegetable Oil (BVO)

Brominated vegetable oil is used as an emulsifier in citrus-flavored soft drinks. It prevents the oil and other liquids from separating.You’ll find it in soft drinks such as Gatorade, Powerade, Mountain Dew, Fanta, Fresca, and others

Possible side effects: memory loss, loss of muscle coordination, tremors, fatigue, headaches, drooping eyelids. Bromate, the main ingredient is BVO is a deadly poison, especially for children

The 4th part of the Toxic Cocktail for our DNA #Hexane

Hexane

is actually a byproduct of gasoline manufacturing. It’s also earned itself the dubious reputation of being a neurotoxin and air pollutant. “Noxious” is a good word to sum up the stuff’s properties. But despite hexane’s obvious dangers to human health, the chemical is regularly used by soybean processors as a solvent. Soaking soybeans in hexane separates the beans’ oil from the protein, allowing nutrition bar and other food producers to pump their products full of soy nourishment.

The use of hexane in nutrition bars is bad enough, but what’s worse is that many snack bars’ producers use misleading labels like “all-natural” and “made with organic ingredients.” Consumers reach for a Clif, Luna, Mojo, Odwalla, Balance, or Zone Perfect Bar thinking that they’re purchasing a healthy, eco-friendly product.

The 3rd part of the Toxic Cocktail for our DNA #SodiumNitrate

Sodium Nitrate (aka sodium nitrite)

Sodium nitrate/nitrite is used as a preservative and a flavoring. It is also used to retain the red color in meat products .You’ll find it in bacon, ham, corned beef, hot dogs, sausages, luncheon meats, smoked meats, and smoked fish. 

Serious Side effects: According to studies, sodium nitrite/nitrate is linked to certain kinds of cancer, colon cancer, especially once the meat has been subjected to high-temperatures (e.g. barbecuing). Under certain conditions, sodium nitrite and nitrate react with amino acids to form cancer-causing chemicals called nitrosamines. This reaction can be hindered by the addition of ascorbic acid, erythorbic acid, or alpha-tocopherol. It has also been linked to birth defects and childhood leukemia.

The 2nd part of the Toxic Cocktail for our DNA #MSG

Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)

The salt of the amino acid glutamic acid,an amino acid, used to enhance the savory quality of foods. MSG alone has little flavor, and exactly how it enhances other foods is unknown. Found in Chili, soups, salt substitutes, seasonings, salad dressings, condiments, chips, frozen entrees, restaurant food, some Asian food, and flavored potato chips and foods with chicken or beef flavoring                                                                                      

Possible side effects: Studies have shown that MSG injected into mice causes brain-cell damage, but the FDA believes these results are not typical for humans. The FDA receives dozens of reaction complaints each year for headaches, serious allergic reactions, central nervous and vascular system problems nausea, headaches, chest pains with heart attack like symptoms, brain edema and weakness.

The 1st part of the Toxic Cocktail for our DNA #Flouride

Fluoride

Authorities all over the United States are putting one very toxic chemical, called Fluoride, into our water because it is good for our teeth. In spite of recent warning of the dangers of Fluoride, governments have no intention to tell you and even less stop using the chemical in the water supply. People who can afford it only drink good bottle water or have a full house filtering system.  And since most community disallow the use of a private drinking water well, you only choice is to get a filter system to keep out fluoride.

The Natural Health and Longevity Resource warns

1. Fluoride exposure disrupts the synthesis of collagen and leads to the breakdown of collagen in bone, tendon, muscle, skin, cartilage, lungs, kidney and trachea.

2. Fluoride stimulates granule formation and oxygen consumption in white blood cells, but inhibits these processes when the white blood cell is challenged by a foreign agent in the blood.

3. Fluoride depletes the energy reserves and the ability of white blood cells to properly destroy foreign agents by the process of phagocytosis. As little as 0.2 ppm fluoride stimulates superoxide production in resting white blood cells, virtually abolishing phagocytosis. Even micro-molar amounts of fluoride, below 0.1 ppm, may seriously depress the ability of white blood cells to destroy pathogenic agents.

4. Fluoride confuses the immune system and causes it to attack the body’s own tissues, and increases the tumor growth rate in cancer prone individuals.

5. Fluoride inhibits antibody formation in the blood.

6. Fluoride depresses thyroid activity.

7. Fluorides have a disruptive effect on various tissues in the body.

8. Fluoride promotes development of bone cancer.

9. Fluorides cause premature aging of the human body.

10. Fluoride ingestion from mouth rinses and dentifrices in children is extremely hazardous to biological development, life span and general health.
