Poisons in Today’s Food… Time To Grow Your Own Garden?

A common fallacy is to think one is perfectly fine after ingesting fluoride or corn syrup (mercury) their whole life. If you think that way, then your intelligence has probably already been affected from these intelligence diminishing toxins. Without the ingestion of these toxins, your health and intelligence may have been far more superior. These toxins also have a cumulative effect that can still give you more problems in the later stages of your life.

Below is a laundry list of reasons why we should grow our own food. I’m not going to go into full blown details into each reason, but I will provide sources on where you can find more information.
  1. Texas has under reported uranium and other radiation in their drinking water for decades.
  2. Recent studies, which have gone virtually unnoticed by the general public, have found minute quantities of pharmaceuticals in our tap water to have alarming effects over time. Most food is prepared with unfiltered tap water.
  3. Some studies have found Genetically Modified foods or GMOs result in allergies and even death and the science of GMOs is at best inconclusive. It should be an alarming red flag when the EU and many other countries that are more progressive than ours have banned genetically modified foods. Obama has appointed a former exec of Monsanto (produces GMOs) as the new head of the FDA and some say this is the reason why GMOs are allowed in America and without a requirement to be labeled as GMO! GMOs are genetically modified to produce things like insecticides and toxins inside the plant or organism, which eliminates the need for spraying insecticides, but at what expense? You normally would have the opportunity to wash the pesticides off the plant, but now the pesticide is built into the plant.
  4. If you look at the ingredients of your snack or beverage, it will most likely contain High Fructose Corn Syrup. There are many conflicting reports and studies about the adverse health effects of HFCS probably because there is a lot of money in food. We do know for sure that mercury, which impairs memory and intelligence, is found in HFCS and most likely in corn syrup as well.
  5. Something should alert you when: there are major conflicting studies about the health effects of fluoride, the fact that many European countries ban fluoride in drinking water, and a study that too much fluoride can diminish intelligence in children. Fluoridation of water took place before there was fluoride in our toothpaste and before fluoride rinses were available. Today fluoride is found in our toothpaste, beverages, food, and water. Many cities across the U.S. have been taking fluoride out of their drinking water.
  6. Nutritional value of mass produced food including fruits and vegetables have declined drastically over the years. Chemicals that speed growth may impair the ability to absorb nutrients.
  7. "Is there a deliberate effort by the government to dumb down the masses? The statement is hard to prove but there exists a great amount of data proving that the ruling elite not only tolerates, but effectively introduces policies that have a detrimental effect on the physical and mental health of the population."  This article also talks about the truth in prescription drugs and how aspartame in all brand name gum can cause headaches. I can tell you from experience that I personally used to get splitting headaches as child after chewing gum or eating certain kinds of candy. I cannot say aspartame was definitely the culprit, but it is a risk that I do not choose to take anymore and I would much rather chew organic gum that you can find online.
