The Hidden Dangers Around Us
Many people might find it extreme to hear that we are being poisoned daily, yet the reality is alarming when we examine what’s in our food, environment, and everyday products. Here, we’ll explore some of the primary ways toxins make their way into our lives and how they impact our health.
1. Preservatives in Our Food
Since 2020, the food industry has been allowed to add preservatives up to a level that’s “not toxic” per single serving. But who stops at a single serving? With chips, processed snacks, or even a simple burger, it’s easy to consume multiple servings in one sitting, often exceeding what the body can safely handle. This cumulative exposure, known as "on-dose toxicity," is affecting our health more than we realize.
2. The Truth About Seed Oils
Seed oils like soy, canola, and vegetable oil have been promoted as heart-healthy, but these oils are processed in ways that make them chemically closer to industrial motor oils. In regions where people live long, healthy lives, such as the “Blue Zones,” traditional oils like olive oil, coconut oil, and animal fats are staples instead. Our bodies, especially our brains, thrive on healthy fats, while synthetic oils may contribute to conditions like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other neurological disorders.
3. The Plastic Problem
We’ve all seen “BPA-free” labels on plastic products, yet we’re still exposed to microplastics. Studies on birds have shown that high levels of microplastics can lead to weight gain, malnourishment, and even the inability to absorb nutrients properly. The same phenomenon is likely happening in humans, leading to digestive issues, nutrient deficiencies, and long-term health problems.
4. Hidden Dangers in Medications
If you’re taking multiple medications, there’s a chance some could be interacting harmfully. Certain drug combinations can irritate the liver, gut, or even the brain, causing additional health problems instead of improving well-being. It’s essential to research and discuss potential interactions with a healthcare professional.
5. The Influence of Frequencies
The rollout of 5G in 2020 raised concerns about the impact of frequencies on human health. Our bodies rely on specific frequencies to function correctly, much like electrical circuits. Overexposure to these new, high-frequency waves could affect our nervous and digestive systems, making it crucial to stay aware of our environment’s potential health impacts.
6. Hormones in Our Meat
For decades, hormones were directly added to meat to increase animal size, a practice that led some countries to ban U.S. imports. Today, farms use chemical additives that act like hormones to fatten animals, and these compounds make their way into our food, causing premature physical development in children and hormonal imbalances in adults.
A Call to Action
From preservatives and seed oils to microplastics, medications, and frequencies, we are exposed to more toxins than ever. Each of these can disrupt our gut health, impact nutrient absorption, and diminish our overall wellness. Stay informed, take steps to reduce exposure, and prioritize a diet of natural, minimally processed foods.
