What’s for Lunch? Oh, More Chemicals…

Have you thought about the safety of what you put in your body lately?

Take soft drinks for example. Coke is so acidic that it makes a great automobile engine cleaner, and it’s even rumored that it’s what the manufacturer uses to clean the engines of their own trucks. On top of that, the liquid product then sits for who knows how long in an aluminum can. Have you heard that aluminum in the body is associated with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia? That’s a combination I’d start asking myself, “Is that safe?” I’d encourage you to do so as well.

How do you feel about putting anti-freeze in the body?

Do you know that the main ingredient in anti-freeze is common in many “snack foods” found at convenience stores? How’s that for convenience? Anti-freeze right in a food – soon they’ll be marketing the benefits for those who live in cold weather. It’s also used in many personal care products people put directly on their skin. I don’t know about you but I think it’s another perfectly good time for, “Is this safe?”

Now, I’m going to encourage you to look at the ingredients on most any packaged foods. Do you know what half of them are? Another good time for, “Is this safe?” And perhaps, “Why are all of these chemicals in my food?”

What about eating pesticides daily? Pesticides – you know – the stuff they use to kill bugs.

You know that pesticides are found in small amounts in every non-organic food, right? While it may not hurt you to consume small amounts once or twice in your life, how about small amounts several times each day? Another perfectly good time for, “Huh? Is this really safe?”

So, we have a rather strange predicament here. The manufacturers of these foods claim all of these chemicals are safe in the body. People regularly eat them. And most of the population has health problems.

To top it off, most medical professionals can’t tell you why most people are sick. In all fairness, medical professionals hardly recognize toxicity in the body as a problem, and they, themselves, are in the business of selling even more chemicals for the body.

What a strange world we live in. I think it’s about time to get back to fundamentals. Could all of this sickness have something to do with all of this unnatural gunk we’re putting right into our bodies – several times each day? To solve a problem, we really have to understand the cause. And with common, yet highly chemical diets and lifestyle habits these days, understanding the cause is really not that difficult.
