Today's Modern Food: It's not what you think - Part 2 of 2

This video examines the truth about our Nation's food supply. The food we buy today is the product of a business who's more concerned about their own profits than their customers health and the government regulators are looking out for the interests of the businesses rather than the American people's well being. The complete script for this video, as well as all the links to the articles, websites and videos in this presentation are available here: http://www.ancient-hebrew.org/jeffbenner/food.html

The Miami Herald wrote on June 23rd 2011, chemically treated produce, highly processed foods, and refined ingredients like white flour and sugar cause sickness and disease as well as a host of minor ailments such as digestive issues and lack of energy.

The Herald Sun wrote on June 24th 2011, The New England Journal of Medicine published research that advised weight-watchers to cut out sugar-sweetened drinks, potatoes and refined grain foods such as white bread, white rice and low-fibre cereals. They urged people to eat more "natural" foods, such as

On June 19, 1999 The Center for Science in the Public Interest petitioned the Food and Drug Administration (the FDA) to prohibit the use of potassium bromate, which is used to strengthen bread dough. They charged that the FDA has known for years that bromate causes cancers in laboratory animals, but has failed to ban it.

The most common pesticide found in flour, 49% of all flour tested, is Malathion, believed to be a possible carcinogen, Neurotoxin and Hormone disruptor.

On January 28th, 2009 the Washington Post reported, "Study Finds High-Fructose Corn Syrup Contains Mercury." The articles reports that "Almost half of tested samples of commercial high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) contained mercury, which was also found in nearly a third of 55 popular brand-name food and beverage products where HFCS is the first- or second-highest labeled ingredient, according to two new U.S. studies. "

On July 27th, 1989 the Los Angeles Times reported, "FDA allows Genetically-Modified rBGH to Endanger Milk: FDA Ignores Evidence on Cancer Risks"

On December 7th, 2006 the Harvard University Gazette reported, "Hormones in milk can be dangerous." The article states, "The milk we drink today is quite unlike the milk our ancestors were drinking" without apparent harm for 2,000 years, she said. "The milk we drink today may not be nature's perfect food. Butter, meat, eggs, milk, and cheese are implicated in higher rates of hormone-dependent cancers in general, she said. Breast cancer has been linked particularly to consumption of milk and cheese."

On Feb 11th, 2009, CBS News reported, "Link Eyed Between Beef And Cancer." In feed lots across the country, beef cattle are given growth hormones to make them fatter faster, to save money. Now questions are being raised about one of the most widely-used hormones, Zeranol, a synthetic estrogen implanted in cattle. A series of tests done for the Pentagon show a possible link between breast cancer and Zeranol.

On March 30th, 2011 Discovery News reported, "Food Packaging Harbors Harmful Chemicals" Plastic wrappers, food cans and storage tubs deposit at least two potentially harmful chemicals into our food, confirmed a new study. By cutting out containers, people can dramatically reduce their exposures to these toxins. The chemicals -- bisphenol A, or BPA, and a phthalate called DEHP -- are known to disrupt hormonal systems in the bodies of both animals and people, leading to developmental and reproductive problems, as well as cancers, heart disease and brain disorders. And both appear in a wide variety of food packaging materials.

Because the manufacturers and the government ignore our concerns, it is going to be up to us to take charge of our nutrition and well-being.There are a few alternatives to the chemically laden foods available at your local supermarket. You can buy organic, which unfortunately because of the current economics of food production, is more expense. Or you can grow and raise your own food, which is time consuming and hard work. But you have to ask yourself, "Is it worth improving the health of my family?"

If your diet and health is important to you, you will want to these eye-opening and heart-stopping documentaries on the truth about the foods we buy and eat every day.

I have been blessed to have lived in this messed up country and yet I was raised on wild deer.

[JeffABenner]

@arctictimberwolf We love venison and because it's natural, it is much better for you than the meat being purchased in our supermarkets.

[JeffABenner]

Jack Lanane's philsophy may be very appropriate... "If man made it, throw it out, if it tastes good, spit it out."

[Kechobow]

With our technology, we should be able to produce food that's both organic and cost-effective. But that's a hard thing to do when we spend all of our time, money, and citizens on trying to take over other countries...my, how far we've come.

[JeffABenner]

@Kechobow Our government tells us that they make laws to protect us. The truth is, they don't care about our health, only the health of businesses like Monsanto! If the government cared about us, they would provide subsidies to organic growers, not to growers who grow "crap."

[TheTrueJBV3737]

these videos been out for months and months and only have just over 1,000 views? come on youtube, stop being bias in the searches!

[JeffABenner]

@TheTrueJBV3737 I always though it was strange that a video of guy falling off a skateboard gets 1,000,000 hits, but a video like this gets only 1,000. Makes you wonder where our values are in this country these days.

[Shnukums41]

@mischief13 So truueeee , i totally agree the most f'd up part is that everything the FDA approves is harmful to humans

[2bebabified]

This is huge but nothing is being done about it? Everyone is preoccupied with lame things. I see something huge coming. The Japan disaster I fear may knock out organic/natural foods, and practically force us to turn to government for their "food" and support because of the radiation. There is some sort of food hub being created by my city... usually nothing big like that happens where I live so they must be doing it for a "good" reason. Hopefully people get their priorities straight.........

[cool555breeze]

USA! Anything for money! Way to go...

[cool555breeze]

THIS is why I'm a Vegetarian...

[claradusk]

Now if I can just get my husband to wake up with me... As my food, water and medication kills me, I patiently wait. Sometimes I wish we would just fall into the biggest f#cking depression the world has ever seen, and the world would then be FORCED to fall back into the way things used to be, or die.

[arctictimberwolf]

@JeffABenner I agree. The deer that I kill are woods deer that eat acorns, leaves, mushrooms and the natural things of the woods and forests. I also butcher my own kill in a kosher way as opposed to paying for it to be mass processed. I have eaten deer that has eaten from the corn fields and I can taste & feel the difference between the to deer. I grind my own venison hamburger and dry my own jerky. It is amazing the difference in nutrition and no toxins make in how health one is.
