In today’s world, I believe we are greatly exposed to all types of harmful chemicals that exist in food items, personal care products and even in the environment. But to what extent are they harmful to us, we don’t really know for sure. I received this article about some of the harmful ingredients found in many products that have become our daily essentials.
Whether they are really that toxic remains to be seen. This article has no doubt painted the worst case scenario of the consequences of using these products, but it is still worthwhile to be in the know that if we consume something excessively, we may just be exposed to many health risks.
Below is the reproduced article for your reading pleasure.
Anybody that takes Vitamin C (and most people should) avoid the following soft drinks: Sunkist, Fanta, Diet Coke, Sprite, and Pepsi Max. These drinks contain Sodium Benzoate 211 on the label. A chemical reaction between Vitamin C and Sodium Benzoate creates Benzine, a highly Carcinogenic chemical (story by Channel 9).
Benzine has the ability to severely damage the DNA in the Mitochondria to the point that it totally inactivates it, knocks it out altogether. The Mitochondria consumes oxygen to give you energy, and if you damage it, then the cell starts to malfunction very seriously, often fatally, a whole array of diseases has been tied to the damage to the DNA, including Parkinson’s Disease and quite a lot of neuro-degenerative diseases.
This is a follow-up of all the TV station’s story on Mentos and Diet Coke. Don’t mix these two either, they cause a chemical reaction (explosion) in the stomach, it’s not only Mentos but also any mint products. Mint Life Savers, Tic Tacs, Cool Mint’s, etc, the mint is not the culprit here but the Aspartame in the diet drinks, 951 on the label, and also the 950 Acelsultame F are. Aspartame poisoning has been scientifically linked to 92 symptoms of disease.
Most European countries have forbidden the importing and use in their country of Aspartame including all makes of Saccharin, (examples: Equal, Nutra-Sweet, Spoonful and Diet Drinks), including 6,000 consumer goods and beverages, sold on the supermarket shelves. This ban affects all use of this product in any type of consumable infringement and will carry penalties that go from 9.000 Euros to 90,000 Euros.
Mexico is also considering banning all 6,000 products of Aspartame on its supermarket shelves. In Mexico, Aspartame is known as Rumsfeld’s Disease, after George Bush’s mate Donald Rumsfeld. The Nutra-Sweet company and Searle are owned by Monsanto who appointed Rumsfeld as their General Manager, so they could use his clout with Parliament to get this deadly poison passed by the FDA and boost their sales of Aspartame.
Avoid all toothpastes made in China, especially Colgate as they contain ethylene glycol. This is an anti-freezing agent that is highly toxic and even fatal — it destroys the liver, kidney, lung, blood cells, heart and the nervous system. It is also in some mouth washes, make-up, aftershave, baby powder and wipes, shampoo, and deodorants.
Avoid Smarties; they contain almost every toxic artificial colour on the market. The worst are 102, 104, and the worst of all 110 Carcinogenic, 124 undesirable, 127 carcinogenic, 128 extreme caution, 129,131, and 133 are also carcinogenic. To top it off Smarties are not even made of chocolate (neither are Tim Tams). Synthetic chocolate has no nutritional food value whatsoever.
