CNN Health Story Promotes Pizza, Ice Cream, Burgers as "Great for Your Waist" Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

There is no safe level of consumption of processed meats, the WCRF says. Of course, this Health Magazine article didn't say these foods wouldn't give you cancer. They just said they're good for your waist line. And I suppose they have a point there. Nothing causes you to lose weight and shrink your waist line faster than getting pancreatic cancer! Eat more processed meat and you, too, can lose weight faster than you ever dreamed possible... that is, if you survive the cancer. Eat pizza to lose weight? Get serious... Now let's talk about the pizza.

On top of these three chemical additives, processed meats also contain saturated animal fat that is often contaminated with PCBs, heavy metals, pesticide residues and other dangerous substances. You can learn more about dangerous chemicals in the food supply in my book, Grocery Warning, available from Truth Publishing. Or you can download my free Honest Food Guide from www.HonestFoodGuide.org which reveals the true health dangers of numerous chemicals added to processed foods. The Honest Food Guide has now been downloaded by over one million people.

Sodium nitrite is one of the most dangerous chemicals added to processed meats. Please be aware: You MUST read the ingredients list to find the sodium nitrite! Meat product companies do not list this ingredient on the front of the package. Even ORGANIC meat products and NATURAL meat products can still contain sodium nitrite. So read the labels to be sure, and avoid buying any meat product made with sodium nitrite. Be especially careful of food for kids! Virtually all packaged food products containing meat and marketed to children contain sodium nitrite!

Some ads were for food additives like phosphates, and others promoted things like, "Meals for Seniors" which are, no doubt, probably made of processed meats. Overall, I found the ads to be quite hilarious, and not really very useful to the topic. Here at NewsTarget, we constantly get complaints from readers about the Google ads, but that's because those people don't yet realize we don't choose those ads! Google does, and sometimes their ad selection algorithm produces bizarre results. Coming next: Superfoods and plants!

These are your best choice when it comes to processed meats, and fresh, organic meats are even better! sulfites Sulfites are added to foods as both a color fixative and preservative. The Food and Drug Administration estimates that one out of every hundred people is sulfite-sensitive. Asthmatics are particularly at risk.

For someone who never eats processed meats (and, in fact, eats relatively little meat at all, and never meat from mammals), this was an especially challenging task. It didn't take long before the sickening smell of hot dogs, sodium lactate, sodium nitrite, beef hearts and pork parts filled my kitchen. And as I started taking the photos, there were several times I felt like gagging. My appetite was diminished and I actually started feeling angry at the meat processed industry for the way they manufacture and market these sickening products.

Men are waking up to the enormous benefits of natural health and nutrition Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Men typically lack in-depth knowledge on nutritional issues and are often the ones defending unhealthful diets based on processed meats, homogenized dairy and refined grains. But here's why this trend is changing... Men's bodies are just as sensitive to unhealthful foods as women's bodies.

Processed Meat Unsafe For Human Consumption; Cancer Experts Warn of Dietary Dangers Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

When you buy processed meats, you put yourself on a timeline track towards disease, suffering and medical victimization. But when you avoid meat products and focus on a plant-based diet, you are creating a future filled of abundance and health. It's up to you to decide which of these futures you'd rather create. Regardless of which future you choose, there's no judgement from me. You're free to do what you want with your life and your own body. Some people choose to abuse their bodies as chemical playgrounds, living in the moment and dying young. That's their choice.

Animals are smarter than humans when it comes to feeding their children (opinion) Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

And they feed their kids cancer-causing processed meats, hyperactivity-causing food additives and obesity-promoting refined sugars. They load 'em up on high-fructose corn syrup and then wonder why little Johnny weighs 150 pounds. (Must be the genes, they think. Cause daddy's overweight, too.) Poor health is an enormous burden for society Even though some individuals and corporations may get financially rich by selling this junk to families, the bottom line is that we're all worse off when we raise unhealthy children in society. Why?

Are you eating processed meats that are filled with fat? Or are you eating good cuts of fairly lean meat? To me, I just come back to moderation. Assuming that you were in pretty good shape in your 20s, if you could maintain that weight, you would be in good shape. The truth is at 20, you could for all sorts of reasons, eat all sorts of terrible things and maintain that weight, because you were more physically active, because your system was just more resilient. As you get older, you lose that resilience.

Chips, multi-dye-colored cheese Goldfish, and pretzels in foil-lined bags, along with processed meats, fill the typical lunch box. Dinner often comes from a box or prepackaged bag from the freezer, and snacks and sodas—of which there are a plethora to choose from in our snack culture—serve as pick-me-ups in between. What fresh foods we do consume—unless organic—are sprayed liberally with pesticides and fungicides.

These USDA numbers also don't include unlabeled sugars, which are injected or added to processed meats and prepared foods," Bianchi explains. "For example, about 63 percent of Americans are unknowingly consuming more sugar-infused foods at restaurants, fast-food places, colleges, military bases, rest homes, and even hospitals that are supposed to make you well but feed you sugary junk instead.

Free" signifies sugars that are added to foods you don't think of as sweet, such as mayonnaise, some mustards, ketchup, processed meats, peanut butter, and many snack foods.) The recommendation set off a storm of protest. Rather than applauding the report, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services issued a scathing 28-page critique concluding that the WHO document was scientifically flawed.

Another anti-cancer benefit of green tea is its ability to block the formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines from the nitrites and nitrates in processed meats that would otherwise increase the risk of stomach cancer. As little as three to five grams of tea daily, Dr. Smith estimates, would be sufficient to block nitrosamine formation, which would significantly lower the incidence of stomach cancer. Other researchers, from China, confirm that green tea inhibits the transformation of nitrosamines. This conclusion was reached after testing 145 different samples of green, oolong, and black tea.

For example, food additives called nitrites, found in processed meats such as bacon and bologna, are converted in the body to potent carcinogens called nitrosamines. Other dietary mutagens include anatoxin (a natural substance produced by a mold that forms on improperly stored peanuts); heavy metals, such as lead; polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs); and pesticides, such as malathion and DDT. Alcohol does not initiate cancer, but it promotes the growth of a pre-existing abnormal cell.

Foods that contain tyramine include aged cheeses, sauerkraut, bacon, ham, sausage, other aged and processed meats, yeast concentrates, soybeans, fava beans, eggplant, potatoes, spinach, tomatoes, and overripe avocados and other overripe fruits. Certain alcoholic beverages contain tyramine, especially Chianti, port, sherry, and vermouth; wine and beer may also contain tyramine.31 Heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux disorder (GERD) can both interfere with sleep, not only due to the inherent discomfort, but also because both are exacerbated by lying down.

Saturated fat from foods such as cheese and processed meats increase the production of inflammatory substances. Fat cells are biologically active; they don't just store energy, they produce hormones and molecules that affect metabolism and promote inflammation. Vitamin D may counteract this inflammation.

The top five cancer-causing foods Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

This carcinogen is added to processed meats, hot dogs, bacon, and any other meat that needs a reddish color to look "fresh." Decades ago when meats were preserved, it was done with salt. But in the mid 20th century, food manufacturers started using sodium nitrite in commercial preservation. This chemical is responsible for the pinkish color in meat to which consumers have grown accustomed. Although today the use of refrigeration is largely what protects consumers from botulism and bacteria, manufacturers still add sodium nitrite to make the meat look pinkish and fresh.

Limiting your consumption of processed meats and saturated fats also benefits the heart. Doughnuts: Doughnuts contain hydrogenated oils, white flour, sugar, and acrylamides. Essentially, they're one of the worst cancer foods you can possibly eat. Reader's Digest calls doughnuts "disastrous" as a breakfast food, and many experts agree it's probably one of the worst ways to start the day. French fries: Fries are made with hydrogenated oil and fried at high temperatures. Some chains even add sugar to their fry recipe to make them even more irresistible.

After a cancer diagnosis: Crucial questions to consider about chemotherapy vs. naturopathic cancer treatments Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Eating processed meats with sodium nitrite is almost as bad for your health as smoking cigarettes. Do not foolishly believe that you can destroy your health with pharmaceuticals, toxic body lotions, processed foods and avoiding exercise, then magically show up in the office of a naturopath one day and request that they "cure you" with a single treatment or a magical herb. It doesn't work that way. Curing cancer requires massive cleansing of the liver, colon and kidneys.

The latest U.S. health safety distraction ploy: Blame China! Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

If the world were really concerned about food safety, they would ban virtually all common food items made in the USA: Beef, hamburgers, processed meats, sugary sweets, diet sodas, frozen dinners and much more. The USA is the largest exporter of death and disease in the entire world. We sell more disease-promoting crap than anyone, and every country that adopts the U.S. diet sees an immediate and rapid decline in the health of its population. You see, the "Blame China" campaign isn't really about protecting U.S. consumers from dangerous products. It's about shifting blame from the U.S.

Examples are processed meats such as hot dogs and cheese dips. Eat these bad boys no more than two or three times a year; July Fourth, the Super Bowl, and a free pass. Just because a meal is an old family favorite doesn't make it great for your health. Q: Why do so many people in industrialized countries have D deficiencies when these people have better access to good foods? A: The simple answer is that vitamin D usually doesn't come from food. We make it when we're exposed to sunshine. Only about 10 percent of your vitamin D comes from diet.

Allowed the continued legal use of harmful, cancer-causing food additives in the national food supply such as sodium nitrite (which causes cancer and yet is intentionally added to nearly all processed meats). Refused to ban a poisonous artificial fat from the food supply (hydrogenated oils) for decades, even though the World Health Organization urged member nations to outlaw the substance in 1978. Hydrogenated oils continue to harm infants, children, and adults today. It is clearly time to reform not merely the FDA, but the entire medical industry.

Also, start eating lean meat instead of processed meats. This means no prepared, preserved meats. That will get you down to an Acid Foods Total of 18. The equation looks like this: 18 - 6 = Acid Excess of 12 You can easily balance your body chemistry by increasing your produce intake by four more servings. This will give you a total of six servings, and your acid excess drops to 0. So you say, "Hey, you just removed half of my food, so now I'm starving."

While a ban on processed meats is not the objective, moderation is strongly advised. For example, Dr. Frank Hu (a senior researcher) explained that the tisk of diabetes increased when individuals ate processed meats five or more times a week. The data were collected from the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study, a project that began in 1986 by analyzing dietary information from 42,504 men, ages 40-75, who were classified as healthy and free of diabetes, heatt disease, or cancer.
