'Safe' Jelly

Some people have asked me what is the safest brand of commercial jelly to eat. So here it is: the brand is Brookdale & it's available from Aldi Stores in a number of flavours. Unlike other well known brands which use the 100 numbers (102,104,110,124,151 etc) that are carcinogenic coal tar dyes that provide the bright colours, Brookdale Strawberry jelly has 2 colours listed 163 & 160c. However, 163 is a grape skin or blackcurrant extract (non carcinogenic, but asthmatics should avoid this) and 160c is Paprika oleoresins (little info is available). It does state that it contains sulphites, so again, asthmatics should avoid this.

It also states 'Natural Strawberry flavour' but this could be a combination of chemicals (sorry!). Still better than carcinogenic dyes that are linked to hyperactivity.

The horrors of MSG

Take time to watch the video clip above.It is only 6 mins long, but is packed with the main points that John Erb has to say about MSG in his book, 'The Slow Poisoning of America'. Scientists inject mice with MSG to study obesity & diabetes! Yet, we have it added to an endless array of manufactured food, & numerous professions are still at a loss as to what is causing the epidemic of diabetes & obesity!

ZOMBIE CHEWS sour grape

Whilst on duty today at school I found this confectionery wrapper &, having recently listened to Dr. Russell Blaylock talking about the 'great dumbing down of society' I was keen to get my glasses on & investigate the list of ingredients. Bearing in mind that there is 5% of ingredients that legally don't have to be listed (YET!)

The 1st ingredient ,'glucose syrup from corn' seems to me to be a fancy way of saying 'fructose corn syrup'. The 3rd ingredient 'glucose powder from corn' seems as if it means 'powdered fructose'. Hydrogenated vegetable oil & artificial flavourings speak of MSG & the last ingredient, 'Permitted Food Colours 129, 133 just made me very angry.
129 is Allura Red- a suspected carcinogen which has been banned in Denmark, Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria & Norway.
133 is Brillant Blue- a suspected carcinogen, linked to hyperactivity & asthmatics would be wise to avoid this additive. 133 is banned in Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Austria and Norway. WHY IS OUR CHILDREN'S HEALTH OF LESS IMPORTANCE TO OUR FOOD AUTHORITIES THAN THOSE CHILDREN IN THE ABOVE MENTIONED COUNTRIES?

The Dangers of MSG- Part2a)

I hope you will take 7 mins out orf your busy day to watch this YouTube clip of how MSG can affect brain function. Dr. Russell Blaylock also speaks during this clip.

The link between MSG & Obesity

I trust that you will enjoy this enlightening You Tube clip on MSG- it features my favourite neurosurgeon, Dr. Russell Blaylock M.D. Many of the items I have featured lately have MSG disguised under other names - remember it has over 52 aliases, is a poison to your brain & can cause weight gain.

VIVE UP & GO

Although it took me quite a while to read the ingredient list (even with my glasses on!), I found an equal number of good and not so good ingredients. It was pleasing to see filtered water was the 1st ingredient & stevia (the safe sweetener) was last.
However, Wheat Maltodextrin (3rd), Soya Protein (4th) are both forms of MSG.

Two vegetable oils (Sunflower & Canola) are listed 5th & the worst form of sugar, Fructose is 7th on the list! Fresh fruit is looking so much better!
