Alternative Cures

I’ve added another lens to my squidoo menagerie that deals with food additives and their dangers. This one will start with some of the nastiest additives the food industry could have ever unleashed on an unsuspecting public, namely Monosodium Glutamate and Aspartame.

If you thought these additives were safe, you’d better head over to that lens of mine and read some of the evidence to the contrary. Here’s the link:

What’s In Your Food

I truly believe that consuming an excess of Monosodium Glutamate in his last years were the cause of the death of my father from stomach cancer nearly 4 years ago. This is not a common cancer in the West, yet, but is quite common in the far East, especially Thailand and China, so if you like Chinese and Thai food - make sure you demand that the restaurant can prove they DO NOT use monosodium glutamate in their food. I bet you end up walking out of a lot of them, because they nearly ALL use this so-called flavour enhancer in their cooking… and in bucket loads.

You have been warned!

The above lens will give you much more information on this and that other modern scourge of our times, aspartame. If you’re letting your kids eat sugar free food and drink sugar free drinks, chances are you are feeding them an unhealthy future potentially ruined by this chemical sweetener.

Ok, this is not a happy blog post, in fact it’s bordering on a rant, so I think it’s time to stop and go do something else…

See you again soon (if you haven’t been scared away by the tone of this one…!)
