What's next on the Killer Foods List?

You may have guessed it! Everything white! Our next item... white flour... why is that? Think about it a minute... Would you want to put something that looks dirty or gray or worse yet filled with specs that look like little brown bugs in your food? Mouth? The natural sugar cane, salt, and flour process eliminates all the nutrition and then after a bleaching process they put back what they call the nutrition in these so-called food items. Not. It's all artificial and chemical and non-organic for a person to eat yet they will label it "vitamin enriched"!

Let's look at our next killer food,
White Flour - Here's what the process is for our number one baking ingredient:*
Flour is made from wheat which should be good for you but not after this! The first thing they do with the wheat grain is strip off the outer shell (or bran) and because this is where it leaves little brown specs that may look like little brown bugs, the next thing they do is remove the wheat germ. The wheat germ is where the nutrition is but the wheat germ is also what gums up their machinery so we can't have that. Besides that, is goes rancid quickly and that isn't good for the product, as it can't sit on the shelf for any length of time until purchased. And, yes, they do realize what they are doing. No doubt. After all this what is left is what is called the endosperm, which they grind into a very fine powder and bleach it white. Adding the artificial, chemical laden nutrition into it they slap a "vitamin enriched" label on it and you buy it off your grocer's shelf to bake with. Wala! Now if you want something healthy you can buy the wheat germ and the bran at your local health food store!

So much for the white stuff, we'll look at caffeine tomorrow... another killer food...
Choose health and here's to yours!
