Unsafe snacks? New "Natural" doritos contains yeast extract Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

So why is Frito-Lay still selling regular doritos with MSG, and now "Natural" doritos with yeast extract? I believe the answer may be because Frito-Lay wants to jump on the "natural" bandwagon with a product that, in my opinion, isn't natural at all. Yeast extract is a manufactured, concentrated ingredient. Calling yeast extract natural is like calling crack cocaine natural because it comes from the coca plant. DO NOT eat any grocery product containing MSG or yeast extract, and especially avoid allowing children of any age to consume these products.

REPPED: Frito-Lay has launched a new "Natural Doritos" product that doesn't have the usual monosodium glutamate (an excitotoxin) and artificial colors found in its flagship product, but it does contain another offensive ingredient: yeast extract. It's listed right on the package of the new Natural doritos products. Yeast extract is a flavor-enhancing additive that many food manufacturers use in place of MSG. The problem is that yeast extract is a hidden source of MSG (monosodium glutamate), according to my sources (see below). MSG, you may know, is classified as an excitotoxin by Dr.

What's wrong with Natural doritos using yeast extract? The problem stems from the fact that the product is labeled "natural" and is positioned in the natural food section in grocery stores. Yet it is made with yeast extract, an ingredient that many doctors, authors and scientists claim may actually be hazardous to the health of you and your children. Because of this, it is my personal opinion that the Frito-Lay company is engaged in deceptive marketing practices by promoting a product as "natural" that admittedly contains yeast extract.

MSG is well known to cause migraine headaches, seizures, and other nervous system disorders. Dr.

Why light bulbs are accelerating global warming and mercury contamination Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

And given the fact that even many high school graduates today are functionality illiterate (and mathematically inept), there will always be a few stragglers left behind, buying incandescent light bulbs along with Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, doritos and Diet Coke. These are the ignorant masses that can't read labels, don't understand math, and are primarily interested in surviving to their next paycheck. Ultimately, if we are going to save our planet and human civilization from self-induced climate change chaos, we are going to have to do something about our public education system, too.

Raw, "empowered" chocolate products launched by Empowered Foods; full review of sensational product line Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Or, to put it bluntly, if you're still eating doritos and other similar junk foods, your tongue is probably too blasted by all the chemicals to be able to sense the subtle richness of these exotic fruit and chocolate mixes. This is a taste that only genuine healthy people will likely appreciate. Chocolate Spreads Empowered Foods also makes a product called Rawtella Hazelnut Chocolate Spread, which is a raw foods alternative to the popular Nutella product. It's groovy good. Very rich.

They don't say, 'Don't eat sugary breakfast cereals like Froot Loops, Cap'n Crunch, or Cocoa Puffs, or don't eat refined carbs or fatty foods like Pop-Tarts, doritos, French fries, greasy hamburgers, sausages, bacon, and processed deli meats— foods that deliver sugar, salt, or trans fats.' "The dietary guidelines are not a work of pure science but a compromise between science and politics," Dr. Katz maintains. "They're partly for consumers and partly for the food industry. Those compromises favor the food industry when it comes to guidance about what not to eat.

Today, these genetically modified soybean products, which comprise about 80 percent of the beans available, have been found in most baby formulas including Carnation, Similac, Enfamil, Isomil, and Neocare as well as doritos, Fritos, vegetable oils, soybean oil, margarine, and much more. With soy now being an ingredient of thousands of common food products, the masses are systematically poisoned with harmful herbicides. One of the genes used in the new soybean is derived from the petunia plant, which is a nightshade variety. This is bad news for people with nightshade-induced arthritis.

If It's Not Food, Don't Eat It! The No-nonsense Guide to an Eating-for-Health Lifestyle Kelly Harford, M.C., C.N.C. See book keywords and concepts

For many years I was a pseudo- and junk-food-oholic, smoker, and binge drinker, whose idea of exercise was walking a block to the convenience store on the corner to pick up a six-pack, a liter of Pepsi, a jumbo bag of doritos, and a pack of cigarettes. There are few people out there who could rival the unhealthy habits of my past. I used to brag that I could eat anything, that nothing bothered me. This immature bravado of invincibility and careless ways led me to a place where I literally couldn't eat anything, as you'll recall from The Beginning.

Put that old six-pack, liter of Pepsi, jumbo bag of doritos, and pack of cigarettes I used to yearn for in front of me today, and I'd cringe with disgust. On the other hand, give me a fresh glass of carrot, apple, beet juice and my face will light up with delight! It's like reformed smokers who can't stand the smell of smoke. Not only am I repulsed by the extreme nature of the addictive pseudofoods I used to adore, but my body has become highly sensitized to these dis-ea.se causing foods as well, especially those with toxic chemical additives.

Lay's potato chips, doritos, Tostitos tortilla chips, and Cheetos snacks each generate more than a staggering $1 billion in annual sales.13 Clearly, PepsiCo is a company with a lot of salty snacks on its hands.

Bariatric surgery kills 5 percent of patients: Weight loss surgery takes deadly toll Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

When you have bariatric surgery, you won't be able to eat those doritos, canned soups and all those other excitotoxins anyway. Plus, half of your digestive tract will be gone, ripped out of your body. You'll have internal scar tissue, and you may have pain for the rest of your life. You may have hypoglycemia that might require surgery to remove part of your pancreas. Statistics show you might have a 4.6 percent chance of being dead within one year after undergoing bariatric surgery.

Health roundup: Herb bashing, black box warnings and Honey Nut Cheerios (satire) Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

So-called "natural" doritos is made with yeast extract, an ingredient classified as an excitotoxin by Dr. Russell Blaylock, and one that always contains MSG according to a number of health researchers. I once saw a Quik strawberry milk product, made primarily with table sugar, that actually claimed to be good for kids' bones because it contains some calcium. There is almost no combination of sugars, chemicals and artificial colors that food companies can't hop up with some minor nutritional ingredient in order to make FDA-approved health claims on the front of the package.

The raw foods diet: The taste alone is worth it! Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

Was it designed to consume liquid candy in the form of soft drinks, deep fried potatoes, Big Macs and doritos? Of course not. Those things have only existed for a very short period of time, a few decades, whereas the human body has evolved over a period of at least 500,000 years. What foods existed over all that time? Foods provided by nature -- raw, uncooked and unprocessed berries, nuts, seeds, vegetables, roots, fruits and so on. This is what was available to the body, so it only makes sense that raw foods offer perfect compatibility with the human body.

Appetite for Profit: How the Food Industry Undermines Our Health and How to Fight Back Michele Simon See book keywords and concepts

We've turned our evolutionary protection on its head, and a steady diet of Big Macs, doritos, Chips Ahoy, and Coke is making Americans sick. For years, nutrition advocates were the only ones talking about this problem. But in December 2001, the media, policy makers, and the general public got a huge wake-up call with the release of the U.S. surgeon general's "call to action" on obesity. It was this report that gave us the now familiar statistic that close to two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese.

Disease Economy: How the United States economy runs on "treating" chronic disease Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

While we are toiling away in our disease economy and inventing new super extreme nacho doritos and coming up with new prescription drugs that alter brain chemistry in children, genius-level students in other countries are actually doing something useful. In Japan, for example, they are inventing a whole new industry, which I believe will dominate the world's economy. It will be bigger than the computer industry and automobile industry ever was. It's the robotics industry. In the next 20 or 30 years, the robotics industry will be absolutely huge.

Mike: Just to put in a real-world example of that, I would like to add that you can get that combination by drinking a Diet Pepsi and eating a bag of doritos. Fitzgerald: Absolutely. It is a children's meal. In fact, these researchers, at the University of Liverpool, wanted to examine what children commonly consume every day. That is why they picked aspartame, MSG and these two food colors, because they are so commonly found in all of the junk drinks and foods that children consume. The results should alarm us all.

Food Fight Kelly Brownell and Katherine Battle Horgen See book keywords and concepts

One can gain weight just fine with Snack Well's cookies, or with McDonald's changed-fat foods, or with modified doritos, Tostitos, and Cheetos. It all depends on how much people eat, something that is difficult to predict. McDonald's new versions of their fried foods will not have fewer calories—one fat is simply being replaced with another. We cannot predict how the public will respond to the McDonald's and Frito-Lay changes, but if the free pass mentality prevails, people may believe the new foods are healthy in an absolute sense and therefore enjoy a license to eat more.

Apples range from $l-$2 per pound (usually one to four apples, depending on size), compared to a Big Grab bag of doritos for $.99, or two Big Macs for $2 when McDonald's runs a special. Tomatoes can be $1?5 per pound (usually one to four tomatoes), while a large bag of cheese curls may be $1.49. Foods reduced in fat, sodium, and other ingredients tend to cost more than their nonmodified counterparts.9 Consumers tend to substitute one food for something similar to what they are replacing, so healthy options will cost more.

The Frito-Lay Announcement In September 2002, Frito-Lay announced it was eliminating trans fats from doritos, Tostitos, and Cheetos and unveiled Lay's Reduced Fat Chips and Cheetos Reduced Fat Snacks. The press release contained the following: "We're taking several steps that will change the way America snacks," said Al Bru, President and Chief Executive Officer of Frito-Lay North America.

In 2002, Frito-Lay launched its line of Co Snacks. doritos, Cheetos, and Fritos can now be purchased in plastic containers the size and shape of a water bottle. Frito-Lay says this new packaging "fits the active, fast-paced lifestyles of today's consumers. Anytime, anywhere—even on the run—Go Snacks let Americans stay on the go without going hungry for their favorite snack foods.

Big Grab implies handfuls of chips, cheese curls, doritos, or Fritos, and Big Gulp describes fast, heavy drinking. Growing, Growing, Gone Portion sizes grow and grow. Gone is any association between what is offered and what a person might reasonably need. This is true of many, many foods, but we can begin with French fries, hamburgers, and soft drinks. Supersize is a widely known word, so let's explore what it represents. Figure 8.2 shows the calories and fat grams from the largest serving of French fries at Wendy's, Burger King, and McDonald's.

It discusses nutrition, physical activity, and youth obesity and then emphasizes how a variety of PepsiCo products can be used to improve one's snacking (Quaker Oatmeal and Granola bars, Tropicana juice, Rold Gold pretzels, and Frito-Lay's baked version of potato chips and doritos). As we have mentioned before, introducing healthier foods should not buy the food companies public relations immunity for promoting less healthy products and for exploitive practices such as marketing them to children. But their positive accomplishments also should not be overlooked.

Commercial tortilla chips, such as doritos, which are made with the most saturated of hydrogenated oils (coconut, palm, and cottonseed) and contain 7 g of fat per ounce, along with a roster of unwanted additives, including MSG, FD&C Yellow No. 5, and gum arabic, and can turn snack time to allergy attack time.

Makes our trips to 7-11 for a bag of doritos look pretty tame, doesn't it?) The human craving for salt first appears around four months of age. Prior to that time, infants show no preferences for salt, probably because their taste buds haven't yet developed enough to distinguish salty flavors.8 Crunchy Cravings Think of an animal gnawing away at a bone, and you'll have an accurate mental picture of what a craving for crunchy foods is like.
