FOODS/ADDITITIVES YOU NEED TO HATE

HFCS. The process used to make much of the HFCS in this country is a caustic based process that introduces mercury into it, and our corporate industry advocates and government are too arrogant and lazy to do anything about modernizing the process.

"And in the second study, the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP), a non-profit watchdog group, found that nearly one in three of 55 brand-name foods contained mercury. The chemical was found most commonly in HFCS-containing dairy products, dressings and condiments."

But I haven't even looked into aspartame, yet. Just know that artificial sweeteners make people gain more weight because they screw up how the brain sets insulin levels in response to what it thinks tastes sweet.

I guess my cups of tea would amount to about a 1/4 of a cup of soy a day, I'm thinking it's not enough to be a concern?

YOUR BODY BUT I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE DRINK IT AND IN MINUTES GO COMPLETELY BERSERK. THAT EFFECT IS NOT WIDELY REPORTED.

SOME THINGS YOU CAN COMPENSATE OR BALANCE OR CLEAN OUT, SOY TOXINS ARE TOUGH AND PERSISTENT.

GL

All are bad yet Soy seems to escape notice and therefore it is my choice too

where is the "all of the above" option?

Hmmm...well, I do have a few strange symptoms atm, so maybe I'll try tea with cowmilk again.

Thanks for the info GL :)

anyone have any good links for the harm of soy milk, my adult daughter drinks it in everything

LINK POSTED ABOVE, SUGGEST YOU READ ALL OF IT.

GL

"truvia", is made with rebiana, a part of the stevia leaf and is natural and calorie free

Publix carries it and it is on the shelf with the other sugar products. It comes in single serving packets and the box is green and white

have been using it since being diagnosed with diabetes

I don't really agree with the soy milk thing. The phytoestrogens are a mild medicinal, and are good for some people to take but other people shouldn't take it. So like some foods, soy products aren't just food, they are medicinals as well and caution should be used. People who react poorly to shouldn't eat soy products.

Finally, soy has phytates that inhibit the absorption of minerals in the small intestine. Again, this is a problem in some cases and a benefit in others. Vegetarians who eat soy constantly can suffer from mineral malnutrition. But Japanese who survived the nuclear bomb attacks, who ate soy daily, suffered less radiation poisoning and cancer. It's thought that the phytates in soy helped prevent the absorption of the radioactive materials in their gut. So the phytates can deplete minerals but prevent toxin uptake as well.

Also, the way soy beans are soaked, processed, makes a difference in how many soy toxins make their way into the final product.

Asians don't eat/drink soy in the large quantities being promoted by some Americans. Americans who think they can live off soy and soy derivatives to be vegetarians have been suckered into trying to get a lot of their protein from a food that should be eaten in small amounts.

I think some studies have shown that Asians average about 9 grams of soy products a day. That's like 1/3 of an ounce, a very small amount. People shouldn't try to eat soy products like a main food group.

SORRY I WAS BUSY

MELAMINE IS A PLASTIC. DURING THE FIRST SCARE WHEN THOUSANDS OF PETS WERE KILLED, A LAX RESEARCHER PUT OUT THAT IT IS A FERTILISER. NOT SO. BUT IT SUITS THEM TO KEEP REPEATING IT.

MSG, MONO SODIUM GLUTAMATE A FLAVOUR ENHANCER. ITS IN A LOT OF THINGS AND JUST IN CASE HAS A LOT OF DIFFERENT NAMES. ITS A TOXIN THAT FRIES THE BRAIN.

HOPE THAT HELPS YOU

GL

MSG is hidden in a lot of food additives. please look into it. google MSG along with naturalnews. i also recommend subscribing to NN.

Think of the vegans. Think of the vegans people!!

SORRY

THE VEGANS ARE DOOMED

BY THEIR OWN CHOICES, IRONIC EH.


GL

thanks again GL

does anyone know what the melamine is in, besides the pet foods, that I should be checking labels on for my family's foods....and is it actually labeled as melamine or other code words...would it be found in soups or packaged foods like hamburger helper or frozen dinners, etc?

this is a great thread....lots of vital sharing of info

Vegetarian here, I am doing just fine.

YOU THINK

WELL YOU ARE ONE STEP ABOVE A VEGAN

BUT I HAVE NEVER MET A HEALTHY VEGETARIAN DESPITE WHAT THEY SAY.

I AM OK WITH IT BUT ITS NOT MY CHOICE, I AM AN OMNIVORE

AND I LOVE HOW SOME SPIRITUAL KINDLY VEGETARIANS THREATENED ME. I AM STILL TRYING TO WORK THAT ONE OUT

BUT YOU CAN STILL AVOID THE SOY MILK AND OTHER SOY CRAP.

GL

MORNING ALL

THE BEAT GOES ON

High fruitose corn syrup is my #1 ..... for it is in just about everything and should not even be ingested. It is causeing a whole lot of damage.

Asparteme is #2

Rice milk is a good alternative. I either use raw cow's milk (more info [link to www.westonaprice.org] or rice milk. You have to be careful what kind of rice milk you buy. Many of them now contain canola oil. I don't know why, but the 32 oz. containers of Rice Dream's Rice Milk contains canola oil, but the half gallon size does not.

Also, there is only one type of soy that is fit for human consumption and that is fermented soy.

MSG is nr 1 worst in my book.
