Processing products, genetically modified products, preservatives and stabilizers … As we see, 21th century brings not only positive. What is dangerous for our health?
Why all this was done?
Traditional methods of food processing solved two major problems: firstly, food became better digested, and secondly, it could be kept for a while and not eaten immediately after capture, gathering, or finding. This category of products includes meat puddings, jerky and salty bacon, bread, cereals, which people subsequently boil porridge from, brine, sauerkraut and other vegetables, cheese, drinks - from wines to kefir.
Industrial food processing
The problem is not in food appearance. The main problem - destruction of nutrients in processed products and that they are now digested by your body with bigger difficulty and stress for it. You are about to have breakfast? Well, that is, look carefully at a usual breakfast of American and European. What’s here? Corn flakes poured with milk and orange juice.
Bon Appetit! Satisfied? Well, are you ready to «prepare» your meal? Let’s begin.
Dry breakfast cereals flakes
These meals are produced by extrusion. You know what is it? Extrusion is a continuous process, consisting in pressing the material, having high viscosity in liquid state, through a forming tool (extrusion head, die), in order to obtain products with a cross-section of the desired shape. How it looks: grains are filled with liquid solution and then placed in a special machine-extruder.
The process is terrible as it breaks the most (almost all) of nutrients in grains, as extrusion destroys fatty acids, and even (!) synthetic vitamins added to the composition of these grains. Lysine is destroyed - one of the most important and essential amino acids. Even if you buy dry breakfast in the department of dietary products - you buy a poison! It is cheap in manufacture. This is very profitable. This is a multibillion business - and you, if you eat these products - only a member of this great sect. And your pennies add up to a solid income producers and sellers. You do not just spend money - you spend your health!
What to eat instead of cornflakes?
Old-fashioned oatmeal. It enters acidic environment of stomach and necessary proteins and enzymes come to your stomach and acidic environment , it is what you need. Eat oatmeal warm, with real kefir or yogurt. Be sure to add butter or cream. This combination of products contributes to assimilation of all the most useful and necessary substances, the body is saturated with vitamins A and D.
Not scary? Come on.
Milk
Any milk processing means destruction of the very best Nature’s nutrition. A man can live really well on a raw milk, particularly from a sacred animal.
But! Today, instead of the sacred cows, this product is produced via industrialized system of agriculture.
At the dairy factory, if you go there on tour, the only thing you’ll see is stainless steel. Inside this steel centrifuges, milk is separated into fats, proteins, other solids and liquid suspension. The nature tied all this together. A man - separated. Why? Let’s try to understand.
Skim milk? No good!
Fat will go for butter, cream, cheese and ice cream. Dairy industry likes selling skim milk - it is very profitable. And instead of normal fat you will buy milk powder.
Pasteurization is carried out at a temperature of about 63 degrees Celsius for 30 minutes. And heating to 95-100 degrees - is ultra-pasteurization - the taste of milk will still be there, but this milk even can be kept out of the refrigerator.
Milk allergy
Proteins in the composition of milk play an important role in their consumption - in particular, they have a protective function against pathogens, improve protecting properties of the organism, are catalysts for digestion of certain nutrients. The process of pasteurization deforms and violates the structure of these proteins.
Powder milk
It is produced by spraying liquid milk through tiny holes under high pressure at high temperature. In doing so, a lot of nitrates are formed and cholesterol, contained in milk is oxidized. Cholesterol - a very useful substance in the body, indeed, a friend of man. And its oxide is deposited on the walls of vessels, arteries, and leads to atherosclerosis. So, if you drink skim milk in order to not burden your heart, you actually consume oxide cholesterol, and this leads to heart disease.
Orange juice
In industrial production of orange juice fruits are placed in the machine entirely - with peel. Oranges are before processed by special enzymes, to get more juice. Orange peel contains substances-neurotoxins that are not helpful for a human (in the sense of power) - but they also get into the juice.
Dried peel is grind for later use in confectionery industry or transmitted in agriculture for «vitamin» feeding of animals.
There are studies that show a possible link with of “mad cow” disease with neurotoxins.
