 It didn't take long before the sickening smell of hot dogs, sodium lactate, sodium nitrite, beef hearts and pork parts filled my kitchen. And as I started taking the photos, there were several times I felt like gagging. My appetite was diminished and I actually started feeling angry at the meat processed industry for the way they manufacture and market these sickening products. |

 These are, no doubt, the same parents who feed their children processed foods, soda pop and school lunches (which contain numerous harmful chemical additives such as sodium nitrite, sodium benzoate and artificial food colors).
Join NewsTarget in taking action, and we'll help put a stop to this medical tyranny. |

 For those consumers who still choose to purchase meat, Adams urges them to check the ingredients labels for "sodium nitrite" -- the chemical additive that many researchers believe to be responsible for much of the increased cancer risk of processed meat products. "Eating sodium nitrite is quite simply dangerous to your health," Adams said. "Consumers who still want to eat meat products should look for nitrite-free meats, which are often available in the frozen foods or natural foods section of a grocery store. |

 Virtually all packaged food products containing meat and marketed to children contain sodium nitrite! (Read the ingredients to protect your children.)
Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a second dangerous chemical found in virtually all processed meat products. MSG is a dangerous excitotoxin linked to neurological disorders such as migraine headaches, Alzheimer's disease, loss of appetite control, obesity and many other serious health conditions. Manufacturers use MSG to add flavor to dead-tasting processed meat products. |

 Then, they take all the sodium nitrite out of the food and replace it with a different cancer-causing chemical that they keep feeding the kids. Guess what? The cancer rates don't come down. Therefore, the logic goes, sodium nitrite didn't cause cancer in the first place!
Notice that when mercury was removed from vaccines (which is not entirely true, by the way, bringing into question yet more details about this study), the rates of autism did not drop? This means the vaccines remain dangerous to children. |

 I also want to mention that this salt is a full-spectrum salt, so instead of just getting sodium and chloride, you're getting a full spectrum of trace minerals and macro minerals, as well. Remember that table salt you might be consuming, or the sodium found in processed foods, is just sodium chloride. You don't get the trace minerals, and it is those trace minerals – those other 90 elements, for example – that you need in order to be a healthy, vibrant human being, and with this kind of salt product, you can get this into your diet very easily, very quickly, and I also think quite affordably. |

 Naproxen sodium is the common name or generic name.
Chemists also need a more complicated name (for some very good reasons which we won't discuss). Whatever you are inclined to call it, the chemists' systematic name for Aleve is sodium (S)-(+)-6-meth-oxy-a-methylnapthaleneacetate. Obviously this is a mouthful; this name represents yet another kind of chemical symbolism. If you had to say this all the time, you'd quickly come up with an alternative, such as naproxen sodium. |

 More uncovers the conspiracy, stops the placement of Heavy sodium in the water supply, and thereby returns his patients to normal—their vitality, as well as their troubles, restored. In the place of Heavy sodium, Dr. More calls for an authentic unmedicated human experience, however painful it may at times be. |

| MSG (monosodium glutamate) is a manufactured flavor-enhancing food additive comprised of just the sodium salt of glutamate. MSG is widely distributed in the food industry, and is most often disguised with deceptive product labels used to hide its presence. |

 Caution: sodium is abundant in most modern diets but if you've been on a sodium-restricted diet, you could run into problems. Speak to your doctor about your adding salt back, in as natural a form as possible, such as sea salt. loop diuretics: bumetanide (Burinex), furosemide (Lasix), and torasemide (Torem)
This class of drugs is used to reduce blood pressure.
Actions: These medicines move fluid out of the body, but by a slightly different action on the kidneys.
Side effects: The major side effect with any diuretic is increased frequency of urination. |
| Potassium is a mineral abundant in most diets; to make sure you're getting enough, check to see that your multivitamin has around 100 mg per daily dose.
• Sodium: As advised by your doctor. This mineral is abundant in most modern diets but if you've been on a sodium-restricted diet, you could run into problems. Speak to your doctor about your adding salt back in as natural a form as possible, such as sea salt.
• Vitamin B12: 500-1,000 meg daily. If you suspect that you are low in B12, take a sublingual (under the tongue) form. |

 Avoid cosmetics that include parabens (methyl-, ethyl-, propyl-, and butylparabens); phthalates; sodium laureth/sodium laurel sulfate; butyl/ethyl acetate; petrolatum; cocamide DEA/lauramide DEA; diazolidinyl urea; propylene glycol; toluene; synthetic colors and fragrances; and triethanolamine. Likewise, avoid using synthetic perfumes and cologne. Studies show that many perfumes and colognes often contain phthalates and parabens (both of which are known endocrine disruptors). |

 This is labeled as sodium caseinate or calcium caseinate. Although this must be labeled on most food items, it is allowed by the FDA to be added to frozen dairy products without specifying so on the label. The MSG content of caseinate is approximately 12%.
Occasionally, a food product will have "No MSG Added" on its package. This only means that monosodium glutamate in its pure form has not been added to the product—not that MSG-containing substances such as hydrolyzed proteins aren't used. |
| Ikeda discovered that the active extract of the flavorful seaweed had the characteristics of glutamic acid and that this active substance was monosodium glutamate, the sodium salt of glutamic acid. His discovery was secured with the British patent number 9440—titled "Manufacture of a Flavoring Material"—on April 21, 1909.
Dr. Ikeda knew he held a food secret with many possible applications. While still at the Imperial University of Tokyo he began filing other patents on commercial manufacturing processes, first using the breakdown of wheat protein and later soybean protein. |

 Potassium is an important nutrient, and it can counter many of the effects of excessive sodium. When the Nutrition Facts indicate that potassium is present, it's a plus. It's even better when the food contains more potassium than sodium.
Total Carbohydrate
Don't let the word total mislead you. This line indicates the total amount of carbs (including sugar) per serving, not in the entire package. If you have prediabetes or are overweight, you'll want foods with relatively few total carbohydrates. |

 The small amounts of sodium or of trans-fatty acids that occur naturally in food pose no health hazard. It is the addition of sodium chloride to food that raises the sodium concentration to levels that are unsafe for many people. High-sodium foods are those that taste salty or that contain sodium chloride as an ingredient, listed on the food's label. Most trans-fatty acids enter our diets from the addition of partially hydrogenated oils, which are usually listed on the label. |

| If you determine that sodium raises your blood pressure, limit your daily sodium intake to 2.4 grams (g) (slightly more than one teaspoon of salt).
•Exercise. Physical activity reduces the risk of heart disease, diabetes and hypertension— and may offer stroke protection as well.
What you can do: Work with your doctor to create an exercise program based on your history of heart disease, smoking, etc.
•Daily aspirin. Aspirin reduces the tendency of platelets to clump, which helps prevent blood clots that can lead to ischemic stroke. |

 What may happen, in the face of day-to-day, continuously high levels of sodium in the diet and the bloodstream, is that we experience a type of acute hypernatremia—not enough to kill us or cause the myelin sheath to lose its integrity, but enough to keep our sodium potassium pump slightly dysregulated and throw off the electrical system of the brain…. Americans drink soft drinks that are often loaded with more sodium and which further unbalance the mineral stores. |

 We need honest food labeling and we need to outlaw toxic ingredients like aspartame, monosodium glutamate, food additives and chemical preservatives like sodium nitrite that directly cause cancers of the digestive tract.
These ingredients are, technically, chemical assaults on the American public. While the Bush administration is out there worrying about biological agents like anthrax and smallpox, people are consuming bacon every morning all across America made with sodium nitrite, a chemical additive that causes colon cancer. And yet the USDA remains silent. The FDA remains silent. |

 Food producers use sodium nitrite for marketing reasons," says Adams. "It makes their food products look visually appealing, even while that very same ingredient promotes cancer when consumed." The USDA once tried to ban sodium nitrite, but was unsuccessful due to political influence and lobbying efforts of meat processing companies.
Sodium nitrite is only one of several dangerous, disease-causing ingredients found in everyday foods and groceries, says Adams. |
| Packaged meats like hot dogs would normally appear a putrid gray, but with enough sodium nitrite added, the meats can seem visually fresh even if they've been on the shelves for months.

| The ingredient also promotes colorectal cancer as it passes through the digestive tract.
If sodium nitrite is so dangerous, why do food producers continue using it? The chemical is added primarily as a color fixer that turns meats a reddish, fresh-looking color that appeals to consumers. Packaged meats like hot dogs would normally appear a putrid gray, but with enough sodium nitrite added, the meats can seem visually fresh even if they've been on the shelves for months.

 And, by the way, one of the big causes of colon cancer (other than the consumption of red meat, which is probably the #1 cause of colon cancer) is the use of sodium nitrite in the U.S. food supply. I don't know whether McDonald's uses sodium nitrite in its own products, but I do know that practically every packaged meat product sold in grocery stores contains sodium nitrite. I also know that the human body is designed to live well past 100. |
