Dietary Pitfalls

No Wonder Everyone's Ill

It is a well-known and tragic fact that in the formulation of the great majority of today's processed foods, the primary considerations of the manufacturer are taste, mouth-feel, appearance, shelf life and profit. Sadly, the all-important considerations, these being the nutritional value of the product, and the effect that the product will have upon the health of the consumer, are not always given the attention that they deserve.

This sad oversight has resulted in the proliferation of very attractive, very tasty, very long-lasting food products that have as their main ingredients, refined sugar, highly refined grains, and highly refined, hydrogenated fats. Whatever else is included will usually amount to little more than a wonderful combination of chemicals that are used to preserve the product, to enhance the flavour, to improve the colour, and/or to modify the texture.

If such foods were used only on rare occasions, the situation would not be as serious as it is, but the sad fact is that the majority of families are now using such foods as their primary source of nourishment - with devastating results. As the information on this website should convincingly prove to you, this is one major reason why so many people complain of a lack of energy, why so many are constipated, and why so many are plagued by ever-recurring illnesses.

In the light of the first six chapters on this website, we present this feature to further support our claim that junk foods (not germs, or hereditary factors, or genetic defects, or accidents in the long-distant past) are the major cause of most of the diseases that are sweeping our world. It is our serious and sincere contention that if doctors taught their patients only about the dangers of the foods and practices mentioned in this section, the medicinal drug companies would soon have to diversify their interests - or face insolvency.

Because we can make no guarantee as to the accuracy of the information supplied herewith, we invite you to further research each topic alongside for yourself and to form your own opinion as regards the subject matter presented.
