Reading Labels For Diabetics  "You Are Wasting Your Time"

"Based on the research and information I have on August 06 the following makes sense to me," Harlan Jacobsen Copyright © 2006

What you read on the label last time you bought an item, may be changed. It will have the same ingredients but the name of ingredients listed on the "content label" may be changed because the public is starting to be aware of what things to avoid.

Trans Fats (Define) have had so many published warnings, it has affected sales.

These appear as new or previously unheard or unknown substances but are in fact, still that same old "Trans Fats".

High Fructose Corn syrup already comes in many disguised labels.

Even the experts

know what only a tiny percentage does or how long you have to eat or how much eaten to accumulate a damaging quantity in your body.

do not recognize these ingredients nor do they know what the side effect is unless they look it up.

The packager can legally be up to 20% inaccurate. in the listed ingredients. If they stay under a certain percentage many additives included do not even need to be listed at all.

Many in combination with other ingredients, when eaten both together, quadrupled.

Are they or you going to do this in the super market before you buy something?

Many of the following were eaten for years before anyone woke up to the dangers or hazards involved.

Be aware, these may still be in the food but may now appear on the label with a new name that you do not recognize.

Avoid No matter what it is now labeled or called.

• Sodium nitrite
  
• Avoid All nitrites in fact
  
• Other Chemical Preservatives, primarily in meats, such as hot dogs etc.
  
• MSG, (Define) Monosodium glutamate, very low cost, added and used by most chain and fast food restaurants, Now added in almost every processed food to enhance your impression of the flavors.
  
• MSG Now coming out listed on labels with disguised names and in ways to not be required to be even listed. This is not a flavor enhancer, this a body modifier that changes how food is perceived. Causes serious problems and should be banned.
  
• Aspartame ( poison) banned in Canada, highly acidic, avoid all artificial sweeteners.  Bad news and should be 100% avoided, (except Stevia.) Biggest user is "diet soda". Far worse then the sugar it replaces.
  
• Trans Fats, often label disguised as "Hydrogenated oils, etc"., This is a disaster.

  Almost all french fries are deep fried at high temperature with "Transfats". Avoid 100%.

  Fast Food and restaurant foods are major users and their large use do not come with a "transfat label". Chain restaurants and fast food biggest users because it allows food to be "factory" prepared days in advance and carried over without spoiling. Also now in most boxed and packaged foods etc.
  
• High-fructose corn syrup (Define), soft drinks use,- it has replaced sugar almost 100%. Far more damaging then conventional sugar. Average person eating 88 pounds annually. Should have been banned as a health disaster years ago, and would have except for "corn lobby". This is the one item that is almost exclusively eaten in the US and explains double the disease rate here then next poorest industrialized country.
  
• High heat cooking, (microwave) (deep frying) For example, Kellogg's corn flakes are made at 4,000 degrees. No label tells you this. All high heat processing changes composition of food, destroys all enzymes etc. Body reacts and causes hidden body inflammation triggering and promoting in your body "modern man" Diseases, Eat raw, dried. juiced or steamed.
  
• Chlorinated Water. A filter does not clear up or alter problem caused by chlorination.
  There is no label telling you this water is poison to living creatures. It will kill your gold fish in minutes. We will not attempt to tell you here the damage that chlorinated water does to you but one thing you can understand simply. It kills the living bacteria system in your intestines that are a normal part of a healthy person.
  
• There is no warning label that tells you that drinking distilled water long term is a danger and can kill you.
  
• Bottled Water, what does the label really tell you? It says "Mountain Stream", is that another name for processed and bottled city water in what amounts to $5. a gallon? Who tests and certifies quality of bottled water?

The commercial beef jerky (dried beef) will have from 12 or more chemicals on the label, none of which you know what is or what it does, nor what affect it has on your body. (other then bad news nitrites.) If you are a dietician with a Doctorate you may recognize two or three of the chemicals listed, but will have to go "look up" what effect that chemical has on your body and in what combinations with other chemicals is it a danger..
