Wisebread has found some information from Sally Fallon concerning the threat of processed foods.
I’ve seen more and more about the dangers/lack of nutrition in processed food, including info in the South Beach Diet.
Some of the areas Wisebread highlights are:
- Food processing – industrial damage.
- Packaged Cereal – now without goodness.
- Rat experiments
- Milk
- Milk Allergies
- Powdered Milk
- Orange Juice
- Processed Food Affects Fertility and Facial Structure
To sum up…as I say, the complete article by Sally Fallon goes into so much more detail, and also covers topics like natural and artificial flavors, hydrogenated oils and trans fats. I urge you to read it, then to look much more closely at the labels on all of your grocery store items.
Spend your money wisely, yes. But don’t always go for the cheap foods, because the more expensive, genuinely organic alternative may cost a little more but it certainly won’t be as costly to your health.
