The truth about the so-called ‘Super Food ‘ century
breakfast cereals have never been more popular than they are today. Packed with vitamins and minerals, they promised power, health and energy, especially the young generation. There is hardly a commercial breakfast cereal in the world that does not contain all the child needs to be ‘perfectly balanced’ diet nutrition. But despite this “valuable” contribution to family health, alarming numbers of children showing signs of ill health and need privacy. Vitamins added grain protect considered child against vitamin-destroying sugar, but it seems that this responsibility is no longer guaranteed.
In addition, corn flakes, who still top the list of American and European cereals, sales of new “tasty and healthy ‘breakfast foods soar like never before. The main marketing objectives for this’ healthy’ breakfast food are children. Research suggest that as many as 79 percent of all households use ready-made breakfast to start the day. Children are generally very interested in testing the latest grain model, which actually contains the same ingredients and all the other types but is in a different shape and color The well-designed packaging shows healthy-looking family or natural landscape promises parents that the contents are pure and natural origin, often organically grown, and good for the whole family. Kids love happy friendly figures on paper. “If Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Bugs Bunny, or strong Dinosaurs like corn, then it must be good for me too, “some children might argue.
Packaging has a strong manipulative effect on children. Researchers at the Hospital Packard Children in California asked 63 children aged three and five, to taste-test dose of hamburgers, french fries, chicken nuggets, baby carrots and milk. Some of the doses were wrapped in containers with labels McDonalds, and some were wrapped in containers without labels. As expected, most of the kids thought food containers McDonalds tasted better than the same food without labels.
It does not take much to convince unsuspecting mother beautifully packaged foods are actually good for her children. The mother, who of course wants to ensure the best possible nutrition for their child, get her mind set at ease when she learns about the high nutritional value of the product in the food table. It says convincingly that corn has a balanced amount of carbohydrates, protein and fat, and most importantly enriched with all major supplements. If the right amount of milk (mainly pasteurized and homogenized, that is the wrong choice) is added to the great food, the child had the best possible start of the day that nature can provide, or so she can believe.
Shocking Revelations
But the reality of the matter is quite the opposite. An American team of researchers decided to prove to the world once and for all the factory made cereals are truly super-human food. So they had a common breakfast cereal enriched with important vitamins and minerals in young healthy laboratory rats. The researchers divided a total of 240 rats into two groups; one group received corn and water and the other one normal food and water. The experiment lasted 45 days. The result was quite unexpected and devastating. The rats were fed with grain, which according to common sense nutrition and advertising should have turned them into a strong and vital grown rats were close to death. They suffered from fatty liver, anemia and high blood pressure. In another experiment, rats were fed with corn flakes, consisting of useless cornstarch and white sugar. In this group some animals died.
researchers had assumed that the animals would grow faster with grain, yet they did not grow at all, and some of them even lost weight. Especially rats treated cereals with high sugar content (sugar is considered to be fattening), had the least interest. This is a summary of the results:
- products containing the least amount of fat increased significantly cholesterol levels in rats. Some products were able to lower the rats’ cholesterol levels but also because of fatty liver.
- The rats were fed with grain containing only a small amount of salt increased their blood pressure than those who received cereal with higher salt content lowered their blood pressure.
- Some of the products were iron, which should have raised hemoglobin concentrations anemia animals. However, the results took scientists by surprise
a) There was no connection between higher intake of iron and hemoglobin levels. The rats were anemic despite the consumption of large amounts of iron.
b) Those rats had little iron in the blood preserved of high levels of iron in their liver, which led to worsening anemia (a similar result is highly questionable to give extra iron for people who suffer from anemia).
Poison tastes and looks like Food
main conclusion we can draw from this experiment is purely theoretical approach to diet and nutrition (with food tables and daily nutritional recommendations) have not only been insufficient to raise the standard of health of the nation but actually cause more harm and confusion than is currently assessable.
justified by the theory of nutrition, which in fact contradicts body’s normal response to food, the food industry has been given the green light to produce something that meets the official nutritional needs, even though ‘food’ have toxic effects and create havoc in the body .
There is no legislation to test human food for animals before giving them to millions of people. Average consumer takes it for granted that food produced by a reputable company will be safe for human consumption, even if it contains plastic (with animals to find out whether these foods are toxic or not is cruel and I do not advocate testing on animals. I reason to believe that all human foods have harmful effects on the human body, and I recommend that you avoid eating them).
not all governments support this unpleasant development. According to the August 2004 issue of the Guardian, several health-conscious governments in Europe are less dominated by the food industry and large pharmaceutical companies are starting to protect his people from the obvious harmful practices.
Health officials in Denmark recently banned the addition of vitamins and minerals in 18 varieties of breakfast foods and cereal produced by Kellogg Co. The main reasons are the growing evidence that eating these products regularly can destroy the health of children and pregnant women. Korn is one of the first solid foods introduced children and pediatricians typically encourage parents to start feeding grain to their children of between 4 and 6 months. Their advice contradicts roughly the results of a study presented corn in the diet of children increase the risk of diabetes in children.
Kellogg had hoped to add iron, calcium, folic acid and vitamin B6, some cereals and cereal bars, as it is so common in other countries. However, Danish health officials believe that this toxic additives in grain can seriously damage the liver and kidneys of children as well as unborn fetus during pregnancy. A government laboratory handed the ban after reviewing the list of ingredients provided by Kellogg.
