I came across some information that I thought you might be interested in.

We all have heard about how some companies have taken plain old tap water and bottled it up and sold it for quite a profit.

It seems that nothing has changed with this but what is scarier is what is in tap water bottled or not.

A group called EWG tested 10 different bottled waters and WebMD posted the results, which is where I found them.

2 of the waters, one I have drank myself, Wal-Mart’s Sam’s Choice and Giant grocery’s Acadia brand, “bore the chemical signatures of the municipal water treatment plants in the areas where they were bottled.” according to that report.

So they just took plain old tap water and rebottled it without marking that on the label, which is law finally. Check out what they found in some of the water.

“Specifically, the investigators found that:

*Five of the tested waters contained fluoride, six contained small amounts of the fertilizer ingredient nitrate, and two contained the drug acetaminophen, sold as Tylenol.

*Samples of the Sam’s Choice water purchased at a San Francisco area Wal-Mart had levels of the disinfection byproducts trihalomethanes that exceeded the California legal limit for these chemicals.

*Samples of the Sam’s Choice brand also had higher-than-allowed levels of the chemical bromodichloromethane, which is a known carcinogen.

*Samples of Giant’s Acadia brand water also had levels of the chemicals that exceeded California safety standards, although the brand was sold only in mid-Atlantic states, where it met standards.

*The report noted that levels of the chemicals in both waters also exceeded the bottled water industry’s voluntary safety standards.”

So what does the water industry come back with “He notes that the California requirement is much higher than the FDA standard.”. I am not sure about you but I find that reeeaaaall comforting, not!

Now since much of these waters seem to come from municipal sources. All that crap found is in various water supplies around the US. Makes ya thirsty right? hahaha

The real topper here is besides the crap listed above they found that “Bottled water may also contain chemicals that leach out of plastic bottles, which are made of PET, or polyethylene terephthalate.”.

I think I will stick with filtered water and if that ever isn’t good enough, I’ll boil it as well! My goal is to remove as much of my intake of caustic chemicals as possible. The sad part is that it looks like to get to that I will have to become 100% self sufficient so I can stop getting things from stores all together. Much more work but 40 years down the line and I am still alive and kicking, literally, it would be worth it.

If we all wise up and get annoyed by this kind of crap we can get better standards and get rid of this exceptable levels of nasty chemicals, fecal matter, bug parts or anything else disgusting. I’m not joking there is an “exceptable level” of those things allowed in our food and drinks!!!! I guess maybe I am high falooting and have my standards higher than most, but I want no levels of any of that crap in my ingestibles. hahaha

People wonder why I wont eat out or over anyone else’s house unless I bring my own stuff. hahhaha Yup I have become THAT guy. Between what I have learned and Gordon Ramsey’s Kitchen Nightmare’s I have seen too much. hehehe

Last night I saw a documentary that got me thinking and I did some research on my own.

I don’t know if you know this, I didn’t, but about 30 years ago they made some serious changes to our food supply. Some of these things you may have heard about before but taken as a whole it explains why we are the fattest, most unhealthy country in the world when we shouldn’t be.

You see what they found was that high fructose corn syrup was a cheap easy way to make a sweetener. In fact a woman from the biggest company (I forget the name) producing this high fructose corn syrup garbage bragged that they “own” over 60% of the sweetener market.

Now for those saying “so what” here’s so what. Grab a soda or as I like to call it liquid candy and read the ingredients and you see high fructose corn syrup listed there. Now that tells you a bit about this stuff.

Studies done by some researchers at both UC Davis and Michigan University have shown that consuming fructose that is more readily converted to fat by the liver increases the levels of fats in your bloodstream. In English, this garbage causes body to NOT produce insulin which helps control your appetite and metabolism and even worse causes MORE fats to be in your blood to help clog up the ol’arteries!

Researchers have also noticed an odd “COINCIDENCE”, about the time they made these changes and starting putting this trash in our food and drinks there was a notable increase in obesity and diabetes. hmmm go figure????

Now if this wasn’t bad enough, our meats and this one really peeved me cause I am a carnivore, they starting changing they ways they produce meat. They found that instead of letting cows and other animals walk around and eat grass and other naturals stuff they could pen them up tight so they can’t hardly move more than a foot or two and then feed them this corn mush they could fatten them up enough to go to market in 6 mos versus 2-3 years!!

Does that sound bad to anyone else? If you said yes you were right cause check this out. This corn mush they are feeding to fatten cows and such up has no beneficial properties like proteins etc.. and these animals weren’t made to eat like this so they start dieing during this fattening process. In fact one rancher said in most cases these animals have no more than 1-3 mos of life left in them before they head to the slaughterhouse.

Not only that! They have to keep pumping full of antibiotics to keep them alive and keep the PUSS FILLED ULCERS under control!!!! Now Micheal Moore talked about some of this in one of his movies and how this puss was winding up in our milk. Which I also used to love. Now we wonder why we are getting anti biotic resistant germs out there these days, another go figure moment.

All of this fattening process and they way they never get to move like they should around a field, these animals are winding up with little to no proteins which used to come naturally until they started this unnatural process. Ok so you’re probably grossed out but wait there is more!

The real start to whole process goes back to corn which they have altered. You see when farmers used to grow corn you could go and grab it off the stock, steam or boil it up and have a good vegetable to add to your meal. But you see the natural or like I call it now “old corn” was not as filled with the starches they transform (through this crazy scary chemical added process) into this high fructose corn syrup so they decided to change it.

In old corn there used to be a healthy split of proteins and starches but now it is almost ALL starches. So they have basically trashed corn. To realize how bad this is and see I am not just some nut (I am nuts I won’t deny that but in this case I am correct ;p ) go to your kitchen and start grabbing things you believe are healthy.

Now check the small print ingredients in most if not all you’ll find this trash the same stuff in soda in so called healthy stuff. Take SunnyD for example. It SUPPOSEDLY is orange juice and their slogan is something like “experience the power of the sun” ROFL what a joke! Read the ingredients on that trash it reads:

Water, High Fructose Corn Syrup and 2% OR LESS of each of the following:concentrated juices, canola oil (WTF) and then a bunch of other trash with scary chemical names like sodium benzoate and hydrochloride and other trash. So basically as it reads to me know this stuff is orange flavored non carbonated soda. Not OJ at all!

Disappointed I went to what I thought had to be safe. Nature’s own honey wheat bread. 0 trans fat, high in dietary fiber all kins of goodies right? Yes but what else is slipped in there, yup high fructose corn syrup cause they use it to get the crust to be crusty and for whatever unholy reasons they may have Now there is one less bread I can eat and in fact had to buy a bread listed as glycemic health. It was the only one I could find that looked appetizing that didn’t have that garbage listed as ingredients.

Are you or someone you care about having weight or blood sugar issues? Check to see just how much of your foods have this insulin blocking high fructose corn syrup trash in it and get rid of them. The sad part is thanks to the way they feed the animals it gets into our milks and meats as well. Very disconcerting.

I intend to adjust my diet to cut this trash out the best I can and plan to complain to the FDA that they allow this trash into our food supply. I encourage you to do the same if you care about your health at all.

Wow I feel better! hahah Learning this stuff isn’t easy but I think it is a good thing to be forewarned rather than just sorry when it’s too late. Take care!
