There are three main types of supplements: There are the synthetics, then there are the organic, high potency isolates sold in health food stores and then there is whole food supplements

Culinary Spices & Herbs

Historically, culinary spices and herbs have been used as food preservatives and for their health- enhancing properties

“Organic”– Here’s a BIG one for me. “Many people feel ‘organic’ equals healthy – don’t be fooled! “Organic” only reveals how it was grown and processed; it doesn’t communicate anything about the products nutrients or whether or not it was locally grown. 30% of “organic’ products are imported from China

“Multigrain” – This label absolutely makes you feel like you are eating a “healthy product” and making a better choice, when actually, it only has to CONTAIN more than one different grain, and it can still be refined and processed and worth nothing; AND, can still contain loads of sugar and high fructose corn syrup. Pay Attention – again, READ THE INGREDIENTS

Fresh meatusually has only one ingredient: The meat! Fresh meat is refrigerated and has a very short shelf life (just a few days, usually). It's usually packaged in simple wrappers, with no fancy logos orcolorprinting.

Processed meat has manyingredientsand is usually packaged for long-term shelf life. These products almost always containsodium nitrite, the cancer-causing chemical additive that meat companies use as a color fixer to turn their meat products a bright red "fresh-looking" color. Processed meat products include:

• Bacon • Sausage • Pepperoni • Beef jerky • Deli slices • Hot dogs • Sandwich meat (including those served atrestaurants) • Ham • Meat "gift" products likeChristmassausages • Meat used in canned soups • Meat used in frozen pizza • Meat used in kid's lunch products • Meat used in ravioli, spaghetti or Italian pasta products

Processed meats = sodium nitrite = cancer

Additives are always higher in these products to increase the shelf life. Buy fresh foods, do the bulk of your family food shopping in the produce aisle, shop lightly in the meat departments and dairy department.

Of course, many low-income, low-education consumers still continue to smoke cigarettes AND eat processed meat products. (Attend any NASCAR event and you'll find a whole crowd of 'em!) But the smart consumers (who represent the real future of human civilization, by the way) are wising up and increasingly opting for healthier foods made without dangerous chemicals.

Potassium Bromide

This chemical is used to expand the volume of breads and rolls. It is also used to give products such as breadcrumbs a smoother texture.

Most bromate is broken down in the body and converted into bromide, which is harmless. There is however, some that is not broken down, This small amount can be carcinogenic. Interestingly, potassium bromate is banned in other parts of the world except for the United States and Japan..("12 Dangerous food additives: The dirty dozen food additives you really need to be aware of

Brominated oils

Brominated oils used as preservative for bottled fruit juice that also give them lengthier shelf life are harmful food preservatives that have serious side effects.
