Today's Modern Food: It's not what you think - Part 1 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.

Thank you for posting this! Scary! We have gone organic, but not completely.......after seeing this........we will be completly organic!

[JeffABenner]

@Justasimpleservant74 We are in the same boat, we were starting to go organic, but we started learning about all of this, we decided to accelerate that. Hopefully more an more will realize this and if enough stop buying the processed foods, the food companies will have to rethink their processing and marketing.

[leahcimrac]

If we stick to "natural" food then we simply can't go wrong. Pure and simple.

[JeffABenner]

@leahcimrac That is exactly right! If your food has been "manufactured" (a.k.a. processed) then you have a problem.

[lamrof]

MONSANTO is killing us.

[ouivalerie]

@grannygrunt1000 That's one concern, although they don't have much to live for compared to the affluent. There appear to be reasons the poor have to eat it and die such as prove it in mass numbers so it can't be disputed by the liars in the system.

Hello! Have you heard the talk about - fast abs magic (search on google)? Ive heard some super things about it and my friend got really defined Six pack abs and lost a lot of fat with it.

[FlypaperGirlSangue]

@Shnukums41 well it is simple cause it cost more to produce it, not cause a bunch of rich guys teamed agaisnt you and the mpre people there is the more money they earn so they actualy are intrested in higher population

[capricorn4003]

'...dire consequences for Fox News...' LMAO!!!! i'd love to see that!! ;) maybe then, they really WILL be 'fair and balanced'!!

[Shnukums41]

I would like to point in behalf of the 99% ALOT OF PEOPLE WOULD LOVE TO SWITCH TO PURE ORGANIC FOOD& DRINKS& PRODUCTS.But the problem is most people are poor and simply cant afford to switch everything for better consuming life style.Why is it that the poisonous products on the market are cheaper then products that are actually good for you?

The ELiTE doesn't want you to be able to afford stuff for your well being.They want to exterminate a high # of people because the world is over populated!!
