What’s In YOUR Food: Do YOU Know?
Recently, I was asked to review the Health Ranger Mike Adams’s new book, Food Forensics, prepublication manuscript, and was totally impressed, especially since I was in the process of finishing writing my new book, Eat To Beat Disease, Foods Medicinal Qualities©, which will be out sometime in the Summer 2016, because both books truly complement each other.
Mike operates the Food Forensics Laboratory wherein all types of foods are assayed for various components, especially looking for what’s called toxic or heavy metals that negatively impact health. Mike’s book exposes the nutritional hazards found in foods while my new book explains how food is handled in the body almost like medicine, confirming what Hippocrates taught so long ago: “Let food by thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”
Food Forensics discusses many of the results found from testing junk foods, fast foods, super foods, herbal supplements, vitamins, and much more. It truly is surprising to learn just what really is in foods that purveyors don’t want consumers to know. Or, as Mike pointed out, when lab tests confirmed certain toxins and reported them to suppliers. The manufacturer/supplier virtually blew him off saying, basically, not to bother them since the U.S. FDA has no Recommended Daily Allowances for them. How outrageous!
I guess Mike’s receiving that remark a few times prompted him to write an exceptional “inside edition” – literally – of what’s inside the foods we buy, including some organically grown toxic metal problem foods.
I was disturbed, as Mike probably was, to find that organically-grown foods coming from China are very questionable as to their nutritional safety, insofar as many of them contain toxic metals like tungsten, one of the ingredients for which Adams was told “the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has no limits on tungsten.” One of the adverse health effects from tungsten can be stroke! Tungsten likes to hang up in the bones; it leads to hypocalcaemia; and can cause seizures, coma, and encephalopathy. Dermatitis often appears in metal workers working with it. So, how does tungsten get into Chinese-grown food products? Mike talks about that and other metals in detail in the book.
