Nutrition
Some of the ingredients lurking in our foods do not provide nutrition and are not beneficial to our health . . . some are downright harmful!
Some harmful ingredients are added to food to improve texture, flavor, add artificial sweetness, and/or to have an addictive effect. It is to your benefit to be able to identify these additives, be aware of the effects they have on your body, and then make a conscious choice to avoid products containing them.
Some food ingredients may be beneficial in moderation, but are detrimental when taken to excess. E.g. caffeine, fructose, glucose, alcohol;

MSG |
- “Monosodium Glutamate and other forms of Neurotoxic Free Glutamic Acid” |
MSG is used as a flavor enhancer - this substance can overexcite brain cells to the point of damage or death, when present in excessive amounts. In some people, it can cause blinding headaches even in small amounts |
Excess Caffeine |
- “The Jitter Drug” |

- "Burdens liver / Increases inflammation /Favors fat production"
High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS)
|
In moderation this simple sugar benefits health, but in excess (>25g /day -equivalent to a few pieces of fruit/day), fructose causes metabolic syndrome - which is involved in such problems as high blood pressure, weight gain, abdominal obesity, decreased HDL, increased LDL, elevated triglycerides, elevated blood sugar, INSULIN resistance, all underlying factors in Type 2 Diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Fructose is found in: Sodas. A regular sized can of non-diet soda supplies 23g fructose, a super sized 63g Honey. ~3g fructose in 1 teaspoon Agave nectar (a cleverly marketed highly processed sap, containing from 56-92% fructose, depending on manufacturer) High-fructose corn syrup - 1 Tablespoon has ~8g fructose Table sugar (sucrose) - ~50% fructose Maple syrup - ~48% fructose Fruit -with highest fructose grams consumed in certain fruit -Eg. raisins, mango (32g fructose), and fruit juices (E.g. Orange Juice); |
