Is Your Food Toxic or Medicinal?

Here is another reason to eat clean food. Food can either be medicinal or toxic to us.

TBHQTBHQ, a toxic preservative found in Pop-Tarts, Rice Krispies Treats, and hundreds of other foods, may damage the immune system’s defense against infection or cancer. It did not receive sufficient attention from public health agencies and is also linked to allergies. If the products contain glyphosate, which the majority does, then it’s responsible for wiping out your beneficial bacteria and preventing your body from the ability to manufacture its serotonin. Michigan State University scientists have linked TBHQ to an altered immune response that possibly hinders flu vaccines.

In addition to TBHQ, most processed foods contain the Forever Chemical, PFAS, which migrates to food from packaging materials or processing equipment. Research shows that PFAS may influence antibody response to vaccinations and is linked to asthma concerns. A recent study found a link between high levels of PFAS in the blood and the severity of COVID.

Here’s a list so you can avoid consuming harmful TBHQ:

• McDonald’s chicken nuggets and french fries
• CHEEZ-IT Crackers (Kelloggs)
• Butterfinger chocolate
• Reese’s Peanut butter cups
• Nestle Crunch
• Wheat Thins
