Hidden Nasties In Our Food

[Cari]

This short Dr. Phil clip exposes the food companies shady practices of designing their products to be addictive and bribing scientists and regulatory agencies to fake studies to say they are healthy when they are not…

An interesting warning label especially on an organic product. It might serve as an example of how toxic the environment has become in that even though pesticides and chemical fertilizers were not utilized in the growth of the saffron the pollutants are present in high enough levels after decades of exposure that the plants harbour them in high enough levels that they could be toxic enough to cause health issues.

I am glad I quit drinking Starbucks 25 years ago….

That is disturbing. But I would assume most packaging and wrappers are toxic.

Starbucks also uses tap water. I believe they say they “filter” it, but that probably only means a filtering device on the water pipe. Takes out some things but not all the nasties. And the coffee is not organic. I would also assume any of the thick, dessert-like coffee concoctions contain carrageenan.

@Lilac  You are right about the carrageenan. It is crazy that people pay to degrade their health with this cheap garbage…

“Starbucks has Carrageenan and Mono & Diglycerides in their whipped cream, because these ingredients are in the heavy cream they use.”

“Carrageenan is added as a thickener and to keep ingredients from separating as an emulsifier, but it’s known to cause digestion problems and is contaminated with“degraded carrageenan”. Tests have found as much as 25% degraded carrageenan in “food-grade carrageenan” (the kind used in some coconut milks). As reported in the news recently, a new study published in Nature, found that emulsifiers may be contributing to the “rising incidence of obesity, metabolic syndrome, and inflammatory bowel disease by interfering with microbes in the gastrointestinal tract”. Many mainstream brands are removing (or have removed) carrageenan from their products, like Silk and So Delicious – but it’s still found at Starbucks and in Coconut Dream brand.“

You cannot buy aerosol whipped cream, even organic, without carrageenan or some bad gum in it. If I need whipped cream, of course I start with liquid cream. But a can once a year (for pumpkin pie, say) was fun.

@Lilac If I want a more stable whipped cream I use powdered sugar  instead of regular sugar to make it. The cornstarch in powdered sugar is the difference.

[Lilac]

I’ll remember that, thanks. Especially since I now find it easy to find organic powdered sugar.

If this doesn’t deter one from drinking out of cans than I don’t what else to say…

Do the people creating this stuff realise they are poisoning themselves with it. I would think probably?
