Is Any Food Safe To Eat?

The more research I do about our food in this country, the more frightened I get. Every day there is another story of some kind of food being recalled because it caused illness and in some cases death. How scary is that? As Americans, we want to know that the food we are eating is safe to eat.

I subscribe to many health related websites and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't see an article about GMO's (Genetically Modified Organisms). What I would like to see is the main stream media reporting on this every day. This is such an important topic that I believe everyone in the country should be aware of. A little knowledge can go a long way.

Since I began this journey to better health, one of the habits I picked up was to become a label reader. Now I'm not a scientist or a doctor, but when there are ingredients on the label that I can't pronounce, I get a bit worried. Today, these manufacturers can disguise many chemicals into nice sounding words, but the truth is that they are very dangerous.

I know there are some people that think I'm overboard with my critique of our food supply, but at this point I would rather be cautious than foolish. Virtually everything you eat today contains some type of chemical. On top of that, most of the food you eat stays in your cell structure for 6 months. So if you want to go crazy one day at a ball game and have a hot dog, plan on that hot dog staying with you for the next 6 months.

I'm not trying to scare anyone about our food supply, but rather to educate them on some of the dangers that these foods could cause. In particular any food that contains GMO's should be avoided. The next question should be, "How do I know if it contains GMO's?" That is a good question! With no labeling laws in this country it is difficult to determine, but I do have a great way of avoiding GMO's. I eat Isagenix food 97% of the time. The other 3% of my food intake is with food that I know doesn't contain GMO's. I have a whole shopping guide list of NON-GMO foods.

The Isagenix food I eat is certified and verified GMO free. To me, that is one of the best reasons to try this food. The benefits of these products go far beyond being chemical free as they actually nourish your body. How many foods that you consume are GMO free and nourish your body? I'm going to guess that the typical American diet has very few products that do that.

So when you come right down to it, is any food safe to eat anymore? Become a label reader and if you don't know what an ingredient is then do what a lot of people do...Google it. You might be surprised at what you find in these fancy words that no one can pronounce. If I were you I would stay away from GMO food like your life depended on it, because IT DOES!
