Deadly American foods banned overseas..

Posted by: admin  /  Category: Food, Health

Another reason that I’m glad to be living back in England after eleven years of eating crap, ok I used my common sense and tried hard to avoid the toxic contaminated foods on the shelves of most grocery stores but it became harder and harder and increasingly more expensive to eat the foods our grand parents did. Natural organic foods are sold at a premium especially in one of the leaders in natural foods, Wholefood Markets who recently stated on their website that organic foods can live in harmony with GMO’s…
I started to avoid WholeFoods because of this and I’d encourage you all to boycott them until they ban GMO’s.

I don’t know about you, but lately it feels like my grocery bill has been climbing faster than a mountain goat with hiking boots. The last time I wrote a check at my local supermarket, I swear they almost asked for a cosigner!

If rising food prices are giving you the blues, I have a simple solution that just may cut your grocery bills in HALF! Here it is — pack up your suitcase, sell the house, and move overseas.

Because according to a frightening new book, literally DOZENS of the foods filling your shopping cart each week are banned by foreign countries and labeled as serious and deadly threats to your health!

If you’re thinking of heading abroad and sipping a Mountain Dew while snacking on some Ruffles Wow chips, think again. Because there’s a good chance that some of the dangerous ingredients used in those foods have led to them being pulled right off of grocers’ shelves.

A new book, Rich Food, Poor Food, by nutritionists Jayson Calton and Mira Carlton, reveals a laundry list of toxic foods we Americans eat by the ton that have been linked to everything from asthma to cancer. On top of the list is brominated vegetable oil (BVO), a flame retardant that’s added to citrus-flavored sodas and sports drinks.

BVO has been banned in every single European Union country, as well as in India and Japan, meaning it’s completely off the market for billions of consumers. But we’ve been drinking it in our Mountain Dew and other fruit-flavored sodas for years!

(Of course BVO’s aren’t the only thing you need to worry about lurking in your food. Food borne-illness has reached epidemic proportions here in the United States. And the government is…well…doing pretty much nothing about it. Click here to learn more.)

And it doesn’t stop there. Dozens of foreign countries have banned potassium bromate found in packaged bread products after studies showed it could cause thyroid and kidney cancer. Milk with bovine growth hormones is also banned throughout the world, thanks to its links to cancer and infertility, as are the asthma-inducing azodicarbonamide found in many TV dinners and the bowel-busting Olean found in low-fat potato chips.

Our overseas friends aren’t a bunch of under-informed rubes who haven’t been properly introduced to fire or the printing press either. These are highly developed nations that have access to the same science we use to make decisions about food safety. But, it seems to me, what they’re lacking is the influence of major food companies willing to spend BILLIONS on lobbyists to keep their deadly products on the market.

I will say it until I’m blue in the face — you can’t count on Big Food or the government to keep you safe. Stick to organic produce and meat, and stay away from the lab-created Frankenfoods loaded with toxic preservatives and God knows what else.

It’s not that our overseas friends know something we don’t — they know EXACTLY what we know. The only difference is that they’re doing something about it. I hope you’ll follow suit.
