Health Food Store Dangers

Health Food Store Dangers
Are all of your health food store purchases healthy for you?

Buyer be smart.

Do you buy your dry cereal at the health food store
thinking it's healthy for you because it's made with
"organic sugar" or sweetened with fruit juice?

Whoops, think again. Any sweets whether organic or
concentrated fruit juice, affect your metabolism the same
as plain old table sugar. They still spike your blood
sugar, causing havoc in your glands that control blood
sugar, the pancreas, adrenals and liver.

If you're sensitized (allergic or addicted) to table sugar
you may tolerate concentrated fruit juice better than table
sugar (sucrose).

But "organic sugar" is still sugar (maybe minus a few
trace chemicals).

And sugar (concentrated sweets) cause a multitude of
problems in your body.

Sugar ages you faster than you should, causing more
wrinkles.

Sugar makes it harder for your immune system to fight off
infections.

Sugar can interfere with digestion.

Sugar cause degeneration in your body.

But sugar (sweets) sell products.

So food manufacturers entice you to think your doing
something healthy for your body by using "organic sugar".
That's because they sell more food products and justify
significant price increases for their products simply by
printing the word "organic" on the label. But as you can
see "organic" is not always a synonym for "healthy."

Sugar is the first problem and over-processing is the
second problem. Over-processed flour or grain becomes dead
food that stresses your body.

Corn certainly becomes dead food when it's processed into
cornflakes.

First it's heated ( cooked) for almost 2 1/2 hours. Then
it's pressed by rollers to form the flakes, shaken and
moved along on the conveyor belt. A syrup spray, heated to
425 degrees Fahrenheit, coats it. Lastly synthetic vitamins
are sprayed on it and it moves into the package.

Yes, it's dead food, thoroughly thrashed, bashed,
overcooked, devoid of all enzymes and diminished in vitamin
and other nutrient content. Synthetic vitamins aren't so
great either.

So avoid all those highly processed, nutritionally
deficient "organic" foods like organic potato chips, corn
chips, donuts, waffles, sugar-added cereals, pizza, and
frozen dinners.

Shop from the same aisles in the health food store as you
would in the regular grocery store. Simply choose your food
from the produce and meat section and carefully find the
other whole food such as whole grain products and nuts.

Choose health promoting whole food to nourish your precious
body. After all, where will you live when your body wears
out?
