Top 10 Packaged Foods You Should NOT Buy!

I've often thought this but as we speak I'm sitting here with two cans of caffeinated juice in front of me. I am never I'll but dementia and cancer run in my family. I would like to eat more naturally but it's quite expensive. I suppose, I should probably prioritise.

Good to know. I was thinking of buying myself one for Christmas.

ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT !

OP, you are full of shit !

I see some people here have some anger and denial towards education and health.

Acceptance is the next step.

It may look like an apple, but there's very little apple inside.

You will suffer from one of the following:

Diabetes
Cancer
Alzheimer's

The heat-generated (friction) with a centrifugal juicer kills about 80% of the micronutrients.

I buy the himalayan sea salt for less than $3/250grams. It's not expensive.

OK, way to deflect criticism by ignoring it.

Please provide hard factualy evidence to support your statement:

wow thats pricey

i get the pound of sea salt from morton, it's sea salt, no processing, etc.

250mg is nothing

I have published hundreds of hours and articles ALL BACKED with documented facts by doctors and scientists.

You put me under the hot lamp, but what facts are you presenting?

You're just an objectionist asshole with a blown-up ego. In your case, you'll most likely die from severe rectal trauma due to your head being firmly lodged inside your colon.

It may look like an apple, but there's very little apple inside.

Not "you may", but specifically "you will", eh? That's a rather definitive, categorical statement.



Total BS. While masticating juicers are always claimed as the Rolls Royce of juicers, they are far from the end all and be all. They may be a good tool to have if you have lots of time and money. For most people, these days, centrifugal juicers are a better fit and retain far healthier percentages of nutritional content than the numbers claimed by fanboys/girls of masticating machines.

I juice every morning, btw, and have a very mixed diet. Granted I don't eat even half the red meat I used to even a decade ago, I do still binge on that juicy steak or meatballs whenever the body craves.

Good thread, OP, good intentions, regardless.

I said grams, not mg

How about 50lbs?

Lick away! lol

Is that a Himalayan salt-lick?

Again, you are evading.

Please provide hard factualy evidence to support your statement:

1.Canned soup: This typically contains large amounts of processed salt, additives, MSG, and genetically engineered ingredients. Many companies also still use cans with bisphenol-A (BPA) in the lining. This plastic chemical has been identified as a potent endocrine disruptor, which means it mimics or interferes with your body's hormones and "disrupts" your endocrine system.

Fortunately, making home-made soup is easy to learn and ensures you know exactly what's in it. Jane offers three soup recipes in her Grist article.1 The Internet offers countless more. She also offers the following three tips:

1."Sign up for a CSA [local community supported agriculture] box and you'll have lots of crazy fruits and vegetables on hand to make soup.
2.Invest in a hand blender... we use ours every single day and it's so much easier to blend the soup right in the pot.
3.Make your own stock!"

2.Stock and Bouillon: Making stock is even easier than making soup. Instead of composting potato peels, onion skins, leek tops, eggplant stems and whatever else you happen to be left with, freeze them and make stock when you have enough to make a batch of vegetable stock.

3.Canned Beans: Just like soup, beans taste better and fresher, and are better for you, if you buy them dried and prepare them at home -- and again, this way you'll ensure your beans aren't laced with BPA. CookingManager.com offers all sorts of cooking tips, including how to prepare dried beans from scratch.3 Commercially prepared beans are also typically cooked at very high heat for short periods of time, which is not as good as cooking them longer at lower temperatures.

When foods are cooked at high temperatures, advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are produced. These compounds, which stimulate cells to produce proteins that cause inflammation, can be toxic to the body. AGEs are normally produced at a slow rate, but the rate increases when food is highly heated. There is also a substantial body of evidence supporting the notion that heat treatment of food alters, damages or destroys many nutrients in the food.

Think dried beans are too time consuming? Consider Jane's comment on the matter:

"In reality, it takes around three minutes to put the beans in some water, another minute to change that water during soaking, and then about five more minutes to put them on the stove. All the beans you'll eat all week in less than 10 minutes."

4.Hummus: Making your own hummus using fresh chickpeas takes just minutes once you get the hang of it, and gives you the freedom to season it to taste.

5.Cereal: Most cereal is a combination of high-fructose corn syrup and GM corn, and cereals marketed to children are the worst offenders. According to one 2008 study, one serving of cereal equated to 11 percent of the daily limit of added sugar for active boys aged 14 to 18 years old, and an astounding 92 percent of the daily sugar intake for sedentary girls aged 9 to 13.4

Reducing sugar intake should be on the top of your list regardless of whether you or your child is currently overweight, because it's been proven over and over that sugar increases insulin levels, which can lead to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, weight gain, premature aging, and more.

While the featured article points out that you can make muesli in a matter of minutes, sans added sugars, I don't recommend eating grain carbs for breakfast, even if it doesn't have any added sugars. Instead, I recommend focusing on protein for breakfast, such as easily-digested whey protein.

Look for high quality whey protein derived from grass-fed, non-hormonally treated cows that's been minimally processed. This ensures it still contains beneficial immuno components, including immunoglobins, bovine serum albumin, and lactoferins, in addition to all the key amino acids and other beneficial nutrients you typically get from a high quality whey protein. Organic, pastured eggs are another excellent breakfast food, as long as it's consumed as close to raw as possible. Avoid scrambled eggs, as cooking destroys many of the beneficial nutrients.

6.Microwave popcorn: Perfluoroalkyls — chemicals used to keep grease from leaking through fast food wrappers — are being ingested by people through their food and showing up as contaminants in their blood. One common source of these hazardous chemicals is — you guessed it — microwave popcorn bags...

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) has been linked to infertility and a slew of other health problems. For example, these "gender-bending" chemicals can disrupt your endocrine system and affect your sex hormones, but they've also been linked to thyroid disease, cancer, immune system problems, and increased LDL cholesterol levels.

Popping popcorn "from scratch" on the stove is simple, and gives you the option to salt and season to taste. I recommend using tasty and nutritious Himalayan Pink salt instead of processed table salt. Microwave popcorn typically contains harmful trans fats (although some brands will use the healthier palm oil rather than canola or soybean oil). If you choose to consume popcorn (it is not the healthiest food out there) you can at least use organic corn and a far healthier oil like organic virgin coconut oil and smoother it with raw grass-fed organic butter.

Sure!

The answer is in the first 20 minutes of this interview I did with Bruno Comby:
I discuss health with the co-founder of Mensa in this video:

Honestly you people are full of shit. Everyone dies. I know people who have NEVER touched any processed goods and they still died of cancer.

Why not keep yourself busy with ACTUAL suffering of humans, rather than focus on those who have so much they eat themselves to death.

You know, unless you have a stake in this "green" moneymaking scheme.

It may look like an apple, but there's very little apple inside.

Yeah, so what is the point of scaring people of the foods they enjoy eating? Making money.

That's why these health freaks are all fucking crazy people. Let people live happy. Don't frighten people needlessly.

Sorry, my previous post was malformed.

Please state in a sentance or two, what factual information is in those videos that support your statement. Thanks.

I have this vegetable and chicken stock in these little glass jars and I'm sorry, that shit is great. Not parting with it.

Seasoned cook of 20+ years.

The thing that bothers me about this list is the harm it can do. In event of a power outage, most people will have no way to cook. These Items will be the first you turn to.

not if you have a garden in the back yard and preserve foods yourself.

keep some cans for an emergency.

Well fuck, I eat 9/10 of them on a regular basis, and have for over 20 years. Am I going to turn into a large, unsightly tumour?
