Are most ingredients they put in our food bad for us?

Reason be I was reading a book by bill statham"What's in your Food"the truth about food additives,is in almost everything we eat has stuff in it thats really bad for us,such as kidney faikure liver problems,asthma,rashes,irregular heart beat,etc...

Think of it in simple terms - analogy. You have a car and it runs on gas (your body and food it uses). Engineers and scientist come up with the optimum gas formula for your car (your body evolved in a way that the natural food is the best for it). Now your buddy says "Pour some water in your gas tank, it will make your trip cheaper for you will use less gas, which is much more expensive than water. I assure you, it will run just fine" (as most manufacturers add something in your food to make it cheaper/last longer). What do you think will happen to your car if you keep pouring water in your gas tank or replace break fluid with dirt? Same happens with your body when you consume food that is not natural.

There will always be lobbyists-hired scientists who will "prove" that there is no harm in GM food, in food additives, but the fact is everything that is not natural is bad for you. In small quantities additives may not quickly manifest themselves in any side effects, but eventually they will accumulate and damage your body.

Yup, some food additives can have adverse effects when consumed in large amounts.

That's why there is the FDA to screen and come out with the guidelines for such substances to be used.

Food additives cause many problems. One interesting fact is that morticians are telling us that they don't really have to embalm people like they used to because the average American eating the American diet are preserved well enough when they die to last about 2 weeks!

To see how additives are affecting Americans, just look at the statistics. 75% of all Americans are dying of heart disease, 1 in 7 women are getting breast cancer, 1 in 79 male children are autistic, over 30% of all Americans are OBESE and 70% are over weight.

The food Americans eat now have 50% less nutrients in them that they did just 25 years ago. Our life expectancy is going down, not up. We rank 24th in the world now. That means that 23 countries in the world live longer than we do. It is predicted that by 2015, 42% to 50% of all Americans will be OBESE and that our children will not live as long as we do.

In addition to the additives added to food, vitamin pills found in pharmacies and even health food stores contain many excipients that are very bad for you. The statistics show that if you take a multi-vitamin each day, you have about a 5% chance of dying earlier than a person that doesn't take them. The reason for this is the garbage they put in as part of the manufacturing process, like Magnesium Stearate that is a trans fat, suppresses the immune system and inhibits absorption of nutrients. Additionally, they put synthetic vitamins in the food you eat, the pills you take and these so called vitamins are just chemical activators that help you for a very short while and then damage your DNA and shorten your life.

good luck to you
