Food Matters asked seven experts a simple question: “What foods do you avoid?” Here are some of their eye-opening responses:
Canned Tomatoes
- An endocrinologist won’t go near canned tomatoes — the cans are lined with a resin containing BPA, and tomatoes are especially dangerous because their acid breaks the BPA down in dangerous amounts.
Conventional Beef
- Conventional cattle are fed grain, corn and soy to make them fat, even though studies show that grass-fed beef higher in important vitamins, minerals and heart-healthy, anti-inflammatory fats.
Microwave Popcorn
- Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) lines microwave popcorn bags, and when they are heated the compound, which has been linked to infertility, leaches onto the food.
Conventional Potatoes
- Non-organic potatoes are heavily sprayed with herbicides, pesticides and fungicides — many potato growers don’t eat the potatoes they sell, but instead and grow their own separate plots without all the chemicals.
Farmed Salmon
- Farmed salmon are stuffed into pens and fed chicken feathers and pellets. A scientific study on fish contamination showed high levels of carcinogens such as DDT and PCBs.
Conventional Milk
- Dairy cows are fed growth hormones to maximize milk production, which results in increased incidence of udder infection and pus in the milk.
Conventional Apples
- Apples are heavily and frequently doused with pesticides — pesticides that have been linked to Parkinson’s
Ever wonder what’s in your food?
We are very fortunate that the manufacturers are legally obligated to label their products with the ingredients in them. Imagine how pissed off people would become if there were no labels and you had to blindly accept whatever you thought was in that package of food. Well, no one ever bothers to read the labels, despite this luxury, and those who do read them are lost in complex terminology.
Get your head right, learn the terms, read the labels and fight bad food by eating right!

Blueberries are not Real
Jan 20
The blueberries found in blueberry bagels, cereals, breads and muffins are REAL blueberries right? Wrong! Award-winning investigative journalist Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, exposes the deceptive chemical ingredients and dishonest marketing of “blueberry” products from big-name food and cereal companies. The blueberries, it turns out, are made from artificial colors, hydrogenated oils and liquid sugars. See more episodes at www.FoodInvestigations.com

(NaturalNews) Over the last month or so, the mainstream media has been making a huge deal about Kansas State nutrition professor Mark Haub who lost 27 pounds eating mostly Doritos, Twinkies and other junk food while drinking Diet Mountain Dew. But as usual, they’re misrepresenting the story.
You can lose weight on chemotherapy, too. And most chemotherapy patients lose all kinds of weight due to the mass poisoning of their bodies with synthetic chemicals. Does that mean chemotherapy is weight loss medicine, too? (Don’t laugh, I’ve seen similar conclusions written up in the mainstream media…)
Virtually anything can be promoted as a “weight loss miracle” in the following way:
The cashew diet?
Consider this: You can lose weight by starving yourself (by eating nothing). That promotes rapid weight loss as long as you stick to it — which is, of course, nearly impossible to do for very long. Read the rest of this entry »
Happy Meal Ban in SF
Nov 9
(NaturalNews) 
But San Francisco’s recent decision to outlaw the Happy Meal — unless it meets certain criteria — may not actually achieve much as far as mitigating the obesity epidemic, according to some.
The recent decision by San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors includes mandates that in order for a children’s meal to contain a toy, it must include fruits and vegetables. The entire meal must be less than 600 calories, and only 35 percent of those calories can come from fat. The included beverage must also not be sugary or fatty — meaning no milkshakes or soda beverages.
While advocates tout the decision as a giant leap towards ending childhood obesity, critics say that children will likely still be drawn towards the unhealthy food itself, even without the toy. And according to Janet Helm, R.D., author of a blog called Nutrition Unplugged, the ban could actually have the unintended consequence of making children want Happy Meals even more, giving the meals a type of “forbidden fruit” appeal.
“In the end, what have we taught families about how to make more nutritious choices?” she is quoted as asking in an MSNBC report. And her question is legitimate, considering that parents are ultimately the ones making the decisions to purchase Happy Meals for their children. They may now simply resort to purchasing the larger adult-sized meals for their kids instead.
Standing up against corporate food giants that entice the nation’s children towards junk food with crafty marketing is a definite step in the right direction. But some health advocates believe that continuing to educate the public — and parents in particular — about proper nutrition and how to make quality food choices will make the biggest impact towards improving health and quelling obesity.
