Report: Now they are turning off our taste receptors
Hello my friend:
Here's the latest assault in the never-ending brutal
attack on human health by the processed food industry.
A company called Senomyx has developed chemical
"manipulators" that turn off the taste receptors in your
tongue.
By using these chemicals, processed food manufacturers can
lower the salt, sugar or MSG content in their products
without worrying about the resulting lousy taste.
The processed food appears more "healthy" because it has
lower amounts of the "bad stuff" and you can't tell it
tastes like sewage because part of your tongue is shut off.
Brilliant.
Soon processed food manufacturers will be able to package
up cat litter box droppings and sell it to us as Tootsie
Rolls and no one will know the difference.
Senomyx already has nice big contracts with Nestle's,
Cadbury Schweppes, Campbell Soup and Coca-Cola. They have
113 patents and 371 more pending in the US, Europe and
other areas of the world.
Nestle's is already using these poisons in some of their
products...so you may already have had a "taste" of them
(no pun intended).
And if you think you can be smart and protect yourself by
reading labels and avoiding foods that contain these
chemicals, think again.
These tongue drugs don't have to be listed separately on a
label--they're lumped right in under the good old
"artificial flavors" category.
What's even more insane is the alleged "safety testing"
process for these poisons--a brief 3-month study on rats.
That's it.
And because they're being used in small amounts (less than
one part per million), Senomyx didn't have to go through
the usual lengthy FDA approval process for food additives.
Instead, they only had to be classified as "generally
recognized as safe" by the Flavor and Extract Manufacturers
Association -- which took less than 18 months. Quick and
easy.
This is yet another reason to stay the heck away from
processed foods--for your health and safety and that of
your loved ones. Processed foods are anything that's in a
box, bag, jar or can. Anything with man-made ingredients.
Instead give your body REAL food. Fresh fruits and
vegetables. Whole grains. Lean meats and fish. All in
the correct combinations for an alkaline pH and optimal
health.
