Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | The tests found that pregnant women and infants who eat even a single serving of some canned foods are exposed to unsafe doses of BPA. Of the foods [recently tested for BPA contamination] -- which included many of the canned foods eaten most often by women of childbearing age -- BPA levels were highest in canned pasta and soup. Canned infant formula also had high levels. Just one to three servings of food with these BPA levels could expose a pregnant woman or infant to harmful doses of the chemical. | Jack Challem See book keywords and concepts | Most foods sold in boxes, cans, jars, bottles, and bags have added sugar, refined sugarlike carbs, or trans fats. canned foods tend to have a higher glycemic index—more of a sugarlike effect—because sitting in water breaks down much of their fiber. Frozen foods are acceptable when fresh ones aren't available, but read the Ingredients list carefully, and reject foods with unhealthy ingredients.
Food-Philosophy Principle #4. | Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND, DACBN See book keywords and concepts | | Reduce or eliminate eating canned foods, not only for this reason, but
Emits up to 10 milligauss

(Safe exposure levels are between 0.5 and 2 milligauss of radiation daily.)
Household Electronic Typical Exposure because they can contaminate the food inside.
7. Microwave oven -
Emits up to 54 milligauss
Close proximity to a microwave can damage sensitive bodily tissues. Get the microwave out of your house as soon as possible. | Mehmet C. Oz., M.D. and Michael F. Roizen, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | In fact, reduce the number of canned foods that you consume. Bisphenol A, which mimics estrogen, is leached from the can liners into the foods.
For conga lines of insects, don't resort to toxic cans of bug killer, which is ineffective and unnecessary. Instead, clean the home, remove the clutter, and use boric-acid-based bait stations.
Keep all cleaners up high (oven cleaner can burn the esophagus if children get hold of it).
Filter your drinking water. | Ray D. Strand See book keywords and concepts | Methionine is found in large quantities in our meats, eggs, milk, cheese, white flour, canned foods, and highly processed foods. Our bodies need methionine to survive; however, as you can see from the list of foods that contain large quantities of this nutrient, we in the U.S. have plenty of it. Our bodies normally convert homocysteine into either cysteine or back to methionine again.
Cysteine and methionine are benign products and are not harmful in any way. | Ron Garner See book keywords and concepts | We have been conditioned to eat mostly cooked foods, meat, dairy, sugar, salt, caffeine, junk foods, fried foods, processed foods, and canned foods. These may seem as if they satisfy our hunger, but they do not satisfy our nutritional needs. Industries, which control the eating habits and conditioned beliefs of the populace, desire a continuous market for their processed food. The unhealthy foods we consume make us sick. But when we do become ill, we tend to blame it on a germ or virus. | Andreas Moritz See book keywords and concepts | Could it really be possible that children (and also adults) who suffer from repeated infections are, in fact, only reaping the consequences of being poisoned by such unhealthful products as soft drinks, ice cream, chips, processed chocolate products, candy, "light" foods, "fast" foods, processed breakfast cereals, frozen meals, canned foods, and bottled salad dressings? [There is more on this subject in Chapter 13.]
Over 40,000 different food items now occupy the shelves of modern grocery stores. Ninety-eight percent of them have nothing to do with what nature intended a human being to eat. | | The following foods or cooking processes have strongly irritating effects on the protective mucus lining present throughout the alimentary canal, from the mouth to the anus: devitalized, processed, radiated, refined, deep-frying, microwave-cooked and canned foods. Highly acid-forming foods such as meat, fish, poultry, eggs, cheese, refined sugar, table salt, chocolate, candy, commercial fruit juices, coffee, alcohol, carbonated beverages and oral hallucinogenic and pharmaceutical drugs also irritate the intestinal lining. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | Even so, there are no current government safety standards that regulate how much BPA is allowed in canned foods. The burden of proof lies with government and lobbyists, who say the doses found in canned goods and plastics are very low. But what dose of this toxic chemical is really safe? No one seems to know.
The toxicity of BPA
"BPA reads like a case study of how badly our chemical safety system is broken," said Jane Houlihan, Vice President for Research at EWG. | | Of the foods [recently tested for BPA contamination] -- which included many of the canned foods eaten most often by women of childbearing age -- BPA levels were highest in canned pasta and soup. Canned infant formula also had high levels. Just one to three servings of food with these BPA levels could expose a pregnant woman or infant to harmful doses of the chemical."
The Environmental Working Group is a nonprofit organization that uses the power of information to protect public health and the environment. | Ann N. Martin See book keywords and concepts | It produces a line of dry and canned foods for dogs and cats. They use only human-grade food, and their bottomline is, "If I wouldn't eat it, why would I want to feed it to my pet?" There are no artificial preservatives, colors or additives, and they pay attention to quality control. This is another food that I have fed my pets. Because my German shepherd, Sarge, was a lirtle overweight and also had dry skin, we chose to feed the Lite Lamb and Rice formula. This did seem to solve his dry skin problem and the food contains few ingredients that might cause allergies. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | Greatly reduce or eliminate your consumption of canned food products. canned foods typically contain BPA due to the lining inside the can.
Avoid storing food in plastic containers. Instead, choose Pyrex or class containers (stainless steel is also acceptable). Also avoid using plastic sandwich bags or plastic wrap products, wherever possible.
Remember that if you are pregnant or nursing, BPA chemicals are passed through your bloodstream directly to your baby. | Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts | BPA contamination in canned foods at: http://www.ewg.org/reports/bisphenola/newsrelease.php
Clearly, bisphenol A is a chemical we don't want in our bodies, and infants have proven to be even more susceptible to the long-term health consequences than adults. But when it comes to baby bottles -- all of which seem to be made of plastic -- how do you avoid bisphenol A?
The BornFree company has an answer with BPA-free baby bottles. No matter how frequently babies drink from these bottles, they won't be exposed to BPA from the bottle. | | Some of these effects occur in concentrations as low as two parts per billion, and yet various studies have shown that plastic bottles or canned foods can often expose consumers to far higher concentrations (sometimes hundreds of times higher).
More than 200 animal studies show that BPA is toxic at very low doses, and the Centers for Disease Control explains that it has found BPA in alarming concentrations in 95 percent of patients being tested. The Environmental Working Group (www.EWG. | Phyllis A. Balch, CNC See book keywords and concepts | If you buy canned foods, look for lead-free cans that have no side seams. Be wary of imported canned foods. Other countries may have no regulations governing the use of lead solder.
• Make sure children's hands are clean before they eat.
• Keep painted surfaces in good repair, so that older layers of paint are not exposed, chipping, or peeling. Although lead-based paints have been banned for use in residences, numerous older homes and public housing units still contain these paints. Do not allow children to eat paint chips. | Jonathan V. Wright, M.D. and Alan R. Gaby, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | Other sources of lead include canned foods and some paints and cosmetics.
It is not known whether the amount of lead the average American is exposed to is a significant cause of symptoms or illness. However, it is noteworthy that the concentration of lead in the skeletons of modern Americans is about 500 times higher than the concentration in the bones of individuals living 1,800 years ago.28 People can reduce their exposure to lead by avoiding canned foods and by drinking bottled water or water that is filtered in a way that removes heavy metals. | Craig Pepin-Donat See book keywords and concepts | The reality is that processed, packaged, canned foods and fast foods contain extremely high levels of sodium, which is used in part as a preservative. It also makes foods taste better and stimulates your appetite (makes you want to eat more food). For example, an average can of soup has more than 500 mg of sodium, a can of vegetables has approximately 400 mg and even a slice of cheese has about 200 mg, depending on the type of cheese. There are even approximately 125 mg of sodium in a cup of 1 percent low-fat milk.
Here is the relevance of sodium in your diet. | Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith See book keywords and concepts | The lack of enforceable limits has resulted in widespread contamination of canned foods at levels that pose potential risks.
Modern-day pots and pans fare no better in their chemical makeup. When you use a Teflon-coated pan or storage unit (perhaps to avoid the legendary toxin aluminum underneath), you could be trading convenience for toxicity. Unfortunately, Teflon is one of the hardiest man-made products, its molecules surviving forever in the environment and in your body. When heated, Teflon's chemical off-gassing will kill some birds if they are in the same room. | | Almost all food and water supplies contain some amount of aluminum, for
FACT
BPA is at unsafe levels in one of every ten servings of canned foods (11 percent) and one of every three cans of infant formula (33 percent). BPA, found in everything from baby bottles and water cooler jugs to bicycle helmets, CDs, and the inside lining of tin cans, is associated with a number of health problems and diseases that are on the rise in the United States population, including breast and prostate cancers and infertility. | Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C. with Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | Furthermore, Americans are taking in added sugars not only from obvious foods such as candy, soda, cakes, and cookies, but from packaged, frozen, and canned foods, including cereals, crackers, yogurt, salad dressings, bagels, and peanut butter.
Whether Americans are taking in a cup of sugar a day or more, any amount is way too much, some experts insist. | Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews See book keywords and concepts | If it's difficult to get fresh produce, or if certain choices are out of season in your area, in many instances you'll be able to substitute frozen and canned foods. And of course you'll be buying foods you like! One of the great appeals of the SuperFoods concept is that each SuperFood has sidekicks that give you a range of choices. Unlike many diets, you aren't locked in to particular foods; you'll have a delicious range of choices. | Gary Null and Amy McDonald See book keywords and concepts | I no longer serve the children in my day care center canned foods. I create delicious vegetable sandwiches on healthy bread. The children adapted to the taste of real food and love it. My grandson's health is perfect. Gary Null simplifies information. His protocol and suggestions are practical and easy to follow. My family and I continue our life enhancing lifestyle. Our hopes and goals did come together.
JUDY
I was the sole caretaker for my husband during his last years. I spent a great deal of time in hospitals totally involved in his illness. My diet at that time was not healthy. | Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews See book keywords and concepts | This includes many canned foods particularly soups and some beans, crackers, ramen noodles, many condiments, and many prepared foods. Our appetite for salt is almost as voracious as our appetite for sugar. Salt can mask the lack of real flavor in many manufactured foods. We've become so accustomed to salty foods that we've almost forgotten that real, whole foods—SuperFoods—don't need salt to taste good. It's easy to find sodium on a food label listed in milligrams right on the Nutrition Facts panel, though it can be a bit tricky sometimes to figure out how much is too much. | Ann N. Martin See book keywords and concepts | Blood from these animals can be used in pet food, either mixed with other materials in the rendering process, or formed into the meat chunks that are found in some canned foods.
Dehydrated food-waste is any and all animal and vegetable produce picked up from basic food processing sources or institutions, including garbage from hospitals, restaurants, and grocery stores. The produce has to be picked up daily or sufficiently often so that no decomposition is evident. With this ingredient, it seems that what you don't see won't hurt you. | KC Craichy See book keywords and concepts | Many people have made soy their primary source of protein, and hydrogenated soy oil is now found in all sorts of fast-food and packaged products—from cookies, crackers, and other baked goods to frozen French fries, TV dinners, and canned foods.
Dr. | James F. Balch, M.D. and Mark Stengler, N.D. See book keywords and concepts | It is recommended that canned foods be exposed to moist heat at 212 degrees F (120 degrees C) for 30 minutes to kill the spores. The toxins that are produced by the spores can be killed through heat by cooking the food at 176 degrees F (80 degrees C) for 30 minutes. Symptoms usually come on 18 to 36 hours after ingestion of the botulinum toxin. This can be a very severe and potentially fatal poisoning. | | The most serious type of food poisoning, particularly with improperly canned foods and seafood, is a potentially fatal form known as botulism. Generally, the longer it takes for the symptoms of food poisoning to appear, the more serious the poisoning. | Mary-Ann Shearer See book keywords and concepts | Ensure that fewer dairy products, fried foods, red meats, pre-prepared foods, and canned foods appear on the table. The most important step is to start by cutting out all brands of foods containing preservatives and other additives or artificial sweeteners. This is essential.
The next step is to serve a meal without meat or dairy products once or twice a week. Make no comment about the omission, just sit down and carry on as usual. If you do comment, you could find strong resistance. Just take it slowly. | Mike Adams See book keywords and concepts | Anything that's pasteurized has also been literally killed. canned foods, packaged foods and pasteurized foods are all "dead" foods. | Ben-Erik van Wyk See book keywords and concepts | Sugar is widely used in the food industry in canned foods, jams, jellies, juices, sweets and soft drinks. Sugar cane and sugar beet are grown on a large scale and are processed by grinding, pressing out the sap and crystallising to produce molasses (unrefined sugar syrup), brown sugar and finally white sugar (by repeated crystallisation). In addition to these two main industrial sources of sugar, relatively small amounts of palm sugar and maple syrup are produced in rural areas by tapping the sugary sap from sugar palms or sugar maples and concentrating it by boiling or evaporation. |
