POISON Additives


There are over 3,000 food additives approved by the FDA for use in foods we consume or the beverages we drink. Additives with immediate effects may cause headaches, or alter your energy level, or they may affect your mental concentration, behavior or immune response.



12 Key Additives to AVOID:
Hydrogenated Fats are artificial and increase risk of heart diseases, obesity, and generally stress the liver.
Artificial Food Colors are carcinogenic, allergenic and believed to contribute to hyperactivity, learning problems, ADD/ADHD.
Nitrates/Nitrites are carcinogenic as this preservative is converted to nitro amines in our body—Vitamin C 500-1000mg protects, if eaten.
Sulfites trigger allergic reactions, causing headaches, nausea, diarrhea, and irritated membranes—especially avoid if you are asthmatic.


Sugar & Natural Sweeteners should be limited to no more than 10% of your diet, as overuse causes dental cavities, obesity, diabetes, hypoglycemia, behavioral changes, hyperactivity, ADD/ADHD, yeast problems and food cravings. Include-honey, maple syrup, date sugar, brown rice syrup, barley malt, fruit juice/concentrates, fructose, Sucanat (cane juice), and molasses.


Artificial Sweeteners are synthetic chemicals and should be avoided. Saccharin, Cyclamate, Aspartame (Nutrasweet/Equal), Sucralose, Asulfame K, Splenda and Neotame are dangerous!


MSG or monosodium glutamate is a flavor enhancer causing headaches, agitation, increased heart rate, tightness in chest and tingling muscles or skin.


Preservatives like BHA, BHT, and EDTA are toxic to the nervous system and the liver.
Refined flours’ low fiber has contributed to digestive disorders, constipation and diverticulitis.


Salt or sodium chloride is necessary for our body, too much leads to fluid retention, increased blood pressure and irritability—1200mg is RDA recommend for daily intake (1 soda contains 1/2 RDA).


Olestra, a fat substitute and non-absorbable oil polymer, not metabolized in the human body and report digestive problems, abdominal cramping, diarrhea and incontinence.

All truth passes through three stages -
First it is ridiculed
Then it is violently opposed
Finally, it is accepted as self-evident.


Arthur Schopenhouer (1788-1860)
