Fighting Obesity with Hormone Replacement Therapy and Testosterone Replacement in Northern Colorado

By NNT Featured Publications- May 13, 2011

Amazing dangers in the foods we eat would shock you. The food industry of America has been feeding us toxins of all kinds. Imagine how much money they save by putting chemicals in foods that can extend the shelf life by months, but at what risk to us and our children. Don´t assume either that the FDA is somehow monitoring safety because it is very difficult for the FDA to prove harm from these chemicals. Obesity in Northern Coloradois in epidemic proportions. Why is Obesity on the rise?Partly because of the advent of processed foods and the fast food industry. Here are some of the chemicals you and your children are exposed to:

Azodicarbonamide: Is used in food industry as a food additive, and a bleaching agent. It reacts with flour as an oxidizing agent. So, that sounds fine, but this ingredient is actually banned in Australia and Europe and get this, in Singapore the use of azodicarbonamide can carry a fine of close to half a million dollars, 450,000 to be exact and can result in a prison sentence of up to 15 years. Why? This is why; the number one use of azodicarbonamide is in the production of foamed plastics, it´s an additive. Examples of the kinds of plastics it´s used in are window and door gaskets, padded floor mats, gym/exercise mats, shoe soles, etc. So every time you order a cheeseburger and eat it, you´re eating part of a floor mat. Azodicarbonamide has been identified as a respiratory sensitizer, which is a possible cause of asthma. It also can increase your chances of being allergic to other ingredients in food that has azodicarbonamide in it. I was shocked to find that most bread we consume has this ingredient. Read labels and look for something without this harmful chemical.

Dimethylsiloxane: is also called dimethicone, it´s one of several types of silicones. It´s found in many different things, from contact lenses and medical supplies to shampoos, food (anti-foaming agent), caulking, lubricating oils, and heat-resistant tiles. Aside from those things one thing I found interesting is that it´s not only one of the main ingredients in a chicken nuggets, but it´s also the main ingredient in silly putty. It was also used in silicone implants, which is now rarely used due to the safety concerns. So, if there is any type of safety concern, why are we still eating it, because we didn´t know? The fast food restaurant isn´t going to tell us that, they probably don´t even know.

High fructose corn syrup (HFCS): If you´re drinking a soda, you´re drinking this. HFCS is made from corn and it´s cheap, so it´s used all the time. There just doesn´t seem to be anything positive about this product, other then it saving huge billion dollar companies a few dollars every month it´s also causing tooth decay, heart disease and obesity and that is just a few. Since the increase in its use over the past 15 years, we´ve also seen an increase in diabetes by 45%. That is alarming. All of these medical issues linked with HFCS can eventually kill you. Skip the soda, and everything else that contains this ingredient.

Don´t be fooled by fancy labels either, sugar free doesn´t mean carbohydrate free and fat free doesn´t mean sugar free. Changing a diet into a lifestyle isn´t easy. But if you know more about what you´re eating it may help the transition into a healthier lifestyle much easier.
