| What Is In My Food! |  |
If you drop a bomb, you kill not only your enemies but
your friends as well. This is the effect food additives
have on humans.
Man has existed for thousands of years, and only started
using additives at the start of the industrial
revolution, when women were set free. Most animals eat
their food when and where it is grown. Not humans.
Man, because of his concentrated urban areas, was forced
to ship and process his food.
Food additives are any substances added to food which
may have some "useful" purpose, such as protection from
deterioration or spoilage.
Additives are also used to improve taste, flavor,
texture, and appearance to restore nutritive value and
to aide in processing and packaging. There are at least
704 additives used in the processing of our food.
According to the Food and Drug Administration,
manufacturers have to prove that the additives are
necessary.
Additives kill bacteria of all living organisms in the
food, so there is no decay. There is nothing to prevent
them from harming body enzymes and organs.
Milk is a good example. Calcium chloride is added to
canned and evaporated milk. It is also used to melt
snow and causes metal parts to disintegrate. Milk
substitutes contain an array of acids and gases.
Choose your bread carefully. It takes five times the
chemicals to make whole wheat bread than white bread.
Sugar is pumped so full of acids, then boiled several
times, which makes it the deadest and most dangerous
product on the market. Meat has about 13 different
additives, ranging from dyes to acids to buffers.
Then to find out what's in your food-read labels and
check with the FDA.
