Basically I have heard it said that if your great grandmother were alive right now and picked up something we call food nowadays and could not figure out how to eat it, it is not food ! Would she know how to eat these boxed mashed potatoes,bags of noodle products,yogurt in squeeze bags,frozen dinners with 500 ingredients,etc. I have also heard the phrase " keep it simple stupid". The reality is that ice cream need only contain roughly 5 ingredients, milk,cream,sugar,eggs,vanilla, and maybe chocolate or nuts, that is it ! Why is it most ice cream now contains stuff you generally cannot pronounce or have no clue what the heck it is ? Yum Carageenan, mmmm guar gum,dextrose, maltodextrin,corn syrup solids, high fructose corn syrup,soy lecithin,brown rice syrup,barley malt flavoring, yum yum !!!! Cannot live with out those right ? Wrong. Did you know that all of those ingredients and several more that would take this whole page to name are just a different way of saying MSG ? That is right, same old lady with a different dress. Most of us know MSG is bad for you, but unfortunately most of us think it is only found in Chinese restaurants and if you buy products saying no MSG you are safe. Well my friends you will be hard pressed to find any boxed or frozen item which does not have at least one of those ingredients above on the list. They may not be MSG but they are still glutamates. If you have the following problems ( which I do and now I know why) you may be the victim of MSG poisoning diabetes,high blood pressure,migraines,thyroid and weight problems,numbness and poor circulation in hands and feet,sinus problems,digestion issues,the list goes on and on. If you are diabetic or have high blood pressure, the MSG goes through the blood brain barrier and directly gets into your brain causing untold damage. I know we live in a busy fast food society, but please, take the time to just buy organic, real food, and cook it yourself at home, it can be done, my husband and I do so all the time. It is not as expensive as you think if you shop smart and it is cheaper than paying tons of doctor bills to try and rectify all the damage ingesting that garbage is doing to your body. Plus all the money you will spend on whatever pill the good old doc gives you for your health problems. Do not even get me started on the pharmaceutical industry !
