1. Consider replacing AL cooking utensils with wooden type.

Cookware with "non-stick coating" are often composed of AL or AL-alloy. Consider replacing with stainless steel. Definitely don't use if "coating" is cracked or fissured.

2. Use AL foil once, then discard. If cleaned & re-used, it could release very small flakes.

3. Antiperspirants & deodorants. Read Ingredients label CAREFULLY, as manufacturer often splits ingredients into (2) sections: Active & Inactive, and these (2) lists may be printed at (2) separated & different locales (eg. at top & bottom of canister) on product. Consider NOT using, if it contains AL. I think Arm & Hammer and Old Spice stick for men both do not contain AL. Skin can absorb product constituents.

Basic rule: if it doesn't occur in nature, don't eat it.

Corporate evil flows from a single source, the owner. The stock company has been a disaster that has taken 500 years to fully reveal itself. The evil that the USA company does to us is analogous to the evil that the Dutch India Company did to India and China. Corporate governance is a disaster. The singularity of the owner of the corporate system and of the financial system is not doubted by me. There are many who think they own a piece of stock, but really the stock owns them. Who do you think the owner is?

Excellent information, thanks!

Most health-conscious people don't realize that nutritional yeast and "natural" flavors are both MSG based. The latter shows up in many supposedly healthy snacks and almost all 100% fruit juices.

Nano materials in general, enough research has not been done to effectively determine the harm they are doing, certainly no long term studies as they have not even been on the market long enough. What we do know is that their size allows the to much more easily cross the cell membrane.

Carrageenan seaweed is a GI Destructive natural additive that is in multiple foods. https://draxe.com/nutrition/what-is-carrageenan/ Every wonder why newborns end up on Nexium? It is in their food and formula. In your Dairy products. Has been for decades.

Under MSG the items inosinate and guanylate are not chemically related to MSG, but are considered nucleotide breakdown products. These compounds, like MSG, enhance the “savory” flavor which allows the use of less meat. Metabolism of these chemicals have nowhere to go other than uric acid.

A significant item missing from the list are advanced glycation end products. These are found in deep fried foods that are breaded and fried at very high temperatures. These are items such as fried chicken, chips, etc. Essentially this condition creates a chemical bond between sugar or fatty acid and an amino acid (protein).

Both class of items mentioned here are highly inflammatory, thus changing cellular energetics, in an attempt to clear them.

Spiro Ketal & All,

"The soul of the Celt has a particular universality of its own: all of life and the world is interpreted in terms of light and shadow. But that innate generalism of their souls has never enabled Celts to achieve military conquest, imperial possessions, huge wealth, or cultural predominance. Early in their history, they were confined to the extremities of France (Brittany), of England (of Wales and Scotland), and in Ireland as the outermost tip of the European continent, dominated by Romans, Vandals, Franks, English, Normans, Danes, and others.

Celts developed the only power that remained: verbal expression and a corresponding mercurial agility of spirit. Oralism, not mentalism, is the mark of the Celt. The aspect of their peculiar style that became most noteworthy and most celebrated was their remarkable verbal expression of emotion.

At that one thing the Celts excelled. The Irish turned their style to express Celtic twilight: the two dusks of birth and death. The Scots concentrated on the play of light and shadow, never clearly happy, never undoubtedly sad. The Bretons took refuge in the shadow as a covert for their perseverance.

But the Welsh took up the light in style and developed the distinct colors of their singing into a Pindarism all their own; and the clarity and brilliance of their language became a more powerful factor of identity than their nationalism or their religion. They maintained the Celtic shadow as a secret background in which to treasure their emotions. The great presumption of "Welshism" was that the visible and material world was merely a clothing or garment thrown over the living heart of sublime and beautiful reality."

~ Malachi Martin (1976)

Thank you for this thorough article on dangerous food additives. I like that it didn’t only say what to avoid, but gave details, which can be an excellent motivator to make needed changes.

Great article but missing a word or two of warning about white sugar. There's not much point avoiding HFCS if you're going to stick three spoonfuls of white sugar in every cup of coffee.
