Once again, I am making it known that we believe that God designed good food for us to eat; food that heals us, nourishes us, and protects us from disease. Unfortunately, most Americans do not eat food as God designed it. We reach for packaged, processed, genetically modified, sprayed, injected, painted substitutes.
When we started making changes in our family diet, we started small. Often, it is easier to ADD something than it is to take a lot of things out. This is when we ADDED JuicePlus, the wisest choice I believe we have made regarding our family's nutrition. Then, I started watching labels to take OUT the biggest offenders. We stopped eating "foods" with hydrogenated oil or partially hydrogenated oil. We stopped eating "foods" made with high fructose corn syrup. Then we looked for items with enriched flour and decided to eliminate them, since they were making us POOR in health. Colors and numbers were the next to go, and about that time I read a powerful book called, "Excitotoxins, the Taste that Kills" by Russell Blaylock.
Wow. This book explains the history of MSG and other food additives that are termed "excitotoxins." Basically, they are toxic to us because of the effect that they have on neurons in the brain.
Yesterday, I watched Sweet Misery on youtube at a friend's recommendation. Here, I heard Mr. Blaylock explain neurotoxins. Not only that, but other scientists and doctors talked about the effects of these types of toxins on our bodies. Aspartame is devastatingly implicated in this small documentary. If you are curious about aspartame and how the food industry and FDA have conspired to keep it on the shelves, this is 51 minutes you will want to watch. If you want more information on aspartame, I have several articles that I can email.
