I’m saying all of this to segway into the deeper issue that you face as a Generation-FOOD!! You have been targeted by those who care about nothing but money and how to get more of it -by any means necessary. There are many ways they are harming the average consumer, but I will focus on the top three:

Sugar, Soy, and Dyes; they are found in the majority of everything we eat and drink, so read the ingredients on the back of the packages before you consume its contents!! If you cannot pronounce the ingredient, you might want to reconsider putting it in your mouth. These products have been crept into snacks, candy, sodas, High Energy caffeine drinks and gum by way of High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) and imitation sugars. I’ve found that they are also subtly placed in Condiments, (Ketchup, Relish, Sauces), Toothpaste, Mouthwash, and even in Cough & Cold Syrups. It has been proved that Processed Sugar is 8 times more addictive than Cocaine, and the synthetic sugars like Xylitol, Erythritol, Mannitol, Sucralose, Aspartame, Stevia, Splenda, Saccharin, Glucose Syrup, Agave, etc. are sometimes 300 to 500 times SWEETER than processed white sugar!!! They all have been linked to Obesity, Cancer and Diabetes, and Stroke victims are now younger and younger.

This is startling information and must not be ignored- most of us are already ADDICTED!

To wean yourself off of these synthetics, try to use only Raw, Natural, & Unfiltered Honey, and products containing Pure/Raw Sugar Cane or Turbinado Sugar instead of the highly processed, bleached versions. Then, only consume it in moderation because even too much natural sugar in your body can damage your Pancreas, Liver, and other organs, leading to developing Diabetes. It is believed that 1 in 8 Americans have Diabetes, and 90%-95% of them are borderline Type 2 Diabetics.

Science has discovered that we actually have 3 ‘Brains’: the same type of Neurons found in the Head (86 billion), is also present in the Heart (40,000) and the Intestines (100 million), giving them their own Nervous Systems! What we eat affects all three; they are in constant communication with each other and will either perform at optimal condition or proceed to circulate sickness and disease in the body.

As a result, we have several life-threatening epidemics of Obesity (85% of Americans), Cancer, High Blood Pressure, Heart Attacks, Strokes, Diabetes, Fibroids, Mental Illness, Fatty Liver, and Inflammation, just to name a few.

It is more than filling your belly and curbing your hunger, it is affecting the way you think and process information, your moods, overall health, and the way you function on a daily basis. When you are in School, it directly affects how you learn!!

***Side Note: Try not to eat anything (Fast) before you take a Test. You will perform much better, because you Brains have more energy to focus since you didn’t eat!***

Research has proven that Soy in its many forms, can cause the body to produce excess levels of Estrogen in both men and women. Women form Fibroid Tumors and can develop Breast Cancer when they produce too much estrogen. Men can develop Gynecomastia (Enlarged Breast Tissue) when they consume too much soy, causing them to produce excess estrogen which also can lead to Breast Cancer. Estrogen can also be found in the linings of many canned foods, so be aware of this because it is absorbed into the food.

Synthetic Dyes are another top category of dangerous food products. Originally food coloring was derived from fruits, vegetables, and some species of harmless insects. This was an extremely expensive process but posed no danger to the human body. Science has been producing synthetic dyes (Red, Yellow, & Blue) with varying numbers being assigned to each color’s category. I believe some of the same dyes being used in clothing, plastics, and other inedible products that we use on a daily basis, have now been integrated into the many foods we eat.

This includes the packaging and processing of the product to appeal to the consumer, as colors can have a profound effect on our psyches when we are hungry or thirsty. These dyes have been proven to cause ADHD in children, Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Cancer, Skin Diseases, and several other health challenges.

Many dyes in America are banned in most countries because of their health risks, and over 80 products that Americans use are not allowed. One example of this is the popular cereal, ‘Froot Loops’; it is banned in Canada and has a ‘dye-free ‘version that is sold there. California has followed suit by passing a Law that protects children in Lunchroom Cafeterias.

So, you may want to avoid the ‘flaming hot’ or extremely spicy snacks because the Red Dye #40 in them is only one of the five other variations in different products. Digestive issues have been reported among many youths, citing overindulgence of snacks and candies with this particular dye.

We need you all 100% healthy and functioning so you can lead us into the next millennium the right way.
You are the RESULT of the Choices you decide to make!
