Poisonous Or Unhealthy Foods You Are Probably Eating

rBGH Milk And Dairy

There's no doubt Americans love dairy products, however, to keep up with the demand for dairy, rBGH was developed. This artificial hormone mimics natural bovine somatotropin, which is the hormone that increases the production of milk. Injected into one out of every six cows, this synthetic hormone causes significant adverse effects. Cows have been shown to suffer from sixteen related health conditions, including high rates of mastitis (inflammation of breast tissue). Once consumed by humans, it increases the risk of breast, colorectal, and prostate cancers.

Foods Containing MSG

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a substance added to numerous popular foods to enhance flavor. Foods that commonly contain MSG include processed meats, canned soups, canned vegetables, coffee, fried and fast foods, Chinese food, potato chips, gravies, salty snacks, ranch dressing, frozen dinners, potatoes, grape juice, tomatoes, and parmesan cheese. It may be difficult to pinpoint whether a product has MSG in it because the substance hides behind approximately twenty-five different aliases. Glutamic acid is an amino acid that occurs naturally and is important to may bodily functions. However, this synthetically altered, highly processed form of it called monosodium glutamate is toxic. MSG results in an excessive excitation of the taste buds that causes the brain to release certain chemicals called neurotransmitters. An excess of any single neurotransmitter can cause an individual's brain cells to become excited to the point of destruction. Neuron death occurs with MSG because an accumulation of glutamate in the brain triggers several inappropriate enzymatic chain reactions. MSG has proven to cause symptoms such as headache, heart palpitations, breathlessness, burning sensations, facial tightness, sweating, chest pains, flushing, muscle weakness, and nausea.
