Everyone wants to take better care of themselves and that includes making certain that they are eating the best foods that they can. Raw foods are believed to be the right choice when it comes to picking healthy ingredients, but you may be surprised to learn that eating a diet rich in raw foods isn’t as simple as going to the grocery store and choosing a few items.
When you decide to start eating foods in their natural state consider where that food is coming from. Most vegetables that you purchase …

In regard to the threat of poison in foods and environment, European doctors and governments have demonstrated their willingness to protect the public. For example, long before Americans even heard of the possible link between smoking and cancer, several European governments, convinced by the overwhelming evidence, took action against smoking. In England tobacco advertising is under rigid restriction. In Italy it is totally banned. Heavy taxes were put on cigarettes by many countries to make them less attractive; a pack of cigarettes in Sweden, for example, costs about three times …

The Centre for Food Safety today released results of its recent study on the levels of a flame-retardant chemical in foods of animal origin. It shows the chemical PBDE – for polybrominated diphenyl ethers – is commonly found in food, but at low levels that are unlikely to pose health risks.
 
The results were combined with secondary school students’ consumption data to obtain the daily dietary exposures to the chemical from individual food items.
 
The highest levels on weight basis were found in fish, which was also the major dietary source of secondary school students PBDEs.
 
The dietary exposure to the …

Harsh reactions to food and food additives is cause for food
intolerance. When the body’s immune system or defense system
is directly involved this causes immediate reactions and
severe food allergies.
There are many doctors who choose to make use of the phrase
food intolerance just for undesirable reactions to food
where the human body’s immune mechanism is not involved.
Generally allergy tests are recommended to see whether an
individual is suffering from this. Fatique also sets in when
people suffer from food intolerance.
There are many different kinds of non-immune responses to
food items. One of the most evident cases …

If you do take the time to read the labels on the processed foods you buy, you’re bound to notice that they usually list some additives and preservatives. Virtually all processed foods contain one or more of these chemical substances, most of which are synthetically produced.
In the highly competitive food industry, attractiveness success, and economy are all essential to financial success. Additives and preservatives can contribute to all three of these qualities. Before sentatives of the food industry claim that without additives and preservatives, our food supply would be considerably …

Diets come and go like most fads, but juice and raw food diets are something that have been around for years that will never go out of style. Blenders and juicers can help make delicious drinks that are healthy as well as tasty. Another thing some people like to do is to puree vegetables and sneak them into recipes. Amazingly, most of the time you can’t even taste them once they are baked in or cooked into other foods. Health and nutrition are two of the most important things to …

All of those people who you have likely called “health nut” because of their organic activism actually do have valid arguments. Organic food is better for you and it is not just a gimmick or ploy by the farmers and retail food chains to siphon more money out of your grocery budget. A number of studies have been conducted that claim there is no nutritional difference between organic food and non-organic food but they do not necessarily take into account how the food is harvested or whether pesticides or food …

I am writing because I am concerned about the health of people in our country. We have an epidemic of diabetes, cancer and heart disease and numerous autoimmune disorders that were virtually unheard of less than a century ago.
 
I do not believe that the Lord ever intended for us to get these diseases. If we simply eat the foods that God created without all the unnatural processing techniques (which include using hydrogen gas and bleach) our bodies would not be rebelling and reacting the way they are.
I understand why our …
