The other night I saw a documentary about corn that got me thinking, so I did
some research on my own.
I don't know if you know this, I didn't, but
about 30 years ago they made some serious changes to our food supply. Some of
these things you may have heard about before but taken as a whole it explains
why we are the fattest, most unhealthy country in the world when we shouldn't
be.
You see what they found was that high fructose corn syrup was a cheap
easy way to make a sweetener. In fact a woman from the biggest company (I forget
the name) producing this high fructose corn syrup garbage bragged that they
"own" over 60% of the sweetener market.
Now for those saying "so what"
here's so what. Grab a soda or as I like to call it liquid candy and read the
ingredients and you see high fructose corn syrup listed there. Now that tells
you a bit about this stuff.
Studies done by some researchers at both UC
Davis and Michigan University have shown that consuming fructose that is more
readily converted to fat by the liver increases the levels of fats in your
bloodstream. In English, this garbage causes body to NOT produce insulin which
helps control your appetite and metabolism and even worse causes MORE fats to be
in your blood to help clog up the ol'arteries!
Researchers have
also noticed an odd "COINCIDENCE", about the time they made these changes and
starting putting this trash in our food and drinks there was a notable increase
in obesity and diabetes. hmmm go figure????
Now if this wasn't bad
enough, our meats and this one really peeved me cause I am a carnivore, they
starting changing they ways they produce meat. They found that instead of
letting cows and other animals walk around and eat grass and other naturals
stuff they could pen them up tight so they can't hardly move more than a foot or
two and then feed them this corn mush they could fatten them up enough to
go to market in 6 mos versus 2-3 years!!
Does that sound bad to anyone
else? If you said yes you were right cause check this out. This corn mush they
are feeding to fatten cows and such up has no beneficial properties like
proteins etc.. and these animals weren't made to eat like this so they start
dieing during this fattening process. In fact one rancher said in most cases
these animals have no more than 1-3 mos of life left in them before they head to
the slaughterhouse.
Not only that! They have to keep pumping full of
antibiotics to keep them alive and keep the PUSS FILLED ULCERS under control!!!!
Now Micheal Moore talked about some of this in one of his movies and how this
puss was winding up in our milk. Which I also used to love. Now we wonder why we
are getting anti biotic resistant germs out there these days, another go figure
moment.
All of this fattening process and they way they never get to move
like they should around a field, these animals are winding up with little to no
proteins which used to come naturally until they started this unnatural process.
Ok so you're probably grossed out but wait there is more!
The real start
to whole process goes back to corn which they have altered. You see when farmers
used to grow corn you could go and grab it off the stock, steam or boil it up
and have a good vegetable to add to your meal. But you see the natural or like I
call it now "old corn" was not as filled with the starches they transform
(through this crazy scary chemical added process) into this high fructose corn
syrup so they decided to change it.
In old corn there used to be a
healthy split of proteins and starches but now it is almost ALL starches. So
they have basically trashed corn. To realize how bad this is and see I am not
just some nut (I am nuts I won't deny that but in this case I am correct ;p ) go
to your kitchen and start grabbing things you believe are healthy.
Now
check the small print ingredients in most if not all you'll find this trash the
same stuff in soda in so called healthy stuff. Take SunnyD for example. It
SUPPOSEDLY is orange juice and their slogan is something like "experience the
power of the sun" ROFL what a joke! Read the ingredients on that trash it
reads:
Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup and 2% OR LESS of each of the
following:concentrated juices, canola oil (WTF) and then a bunch of other trash
with scary chemical names like sodium benzoate and hydrochloride and other
trash. So basically as it reads to me know this stuff is orange flavored non
carbonated soda. Not OJ at all!
Disappointed I went to what I thought had
to be safe. Nature's own honey wheat bread. 0 trans fat, high in dietary fiber
all kins of goodies right? Yes but what else is slipped in there, yup high
fructose corn syrup cause they use it to get the crust to be crusty and for
whatever unholy reasons they may have :) Now there is one less bread I can
eat and in fact had to buy a bread listed as glycemic health. It was the only
one I could find that looked appetizing that didn't have that garbage listed as
ingredients.
Are you or someone you care about having weight or blood
sugar issues? Check to see just how much of your foods have this insulin
blocking high fructose corn syrup trash in it and get rid of them. The sad part
is thanks to the way they feed the animals it gets into our milks and meats as
well. Very disconcerting.
I intend to adjust my diet to cut this trash
out the best I can and plan to complain to the FDA that they allow this trash
into our food supply. I encourage you to do the same if you care about your
health at all.
Wow I feel better! hahah Learning this stuff isn't easy
but I think it is a good thing to be forewarned rather than just sorry when it's
too late. Take care!
