Quotes about Grocery Products from the world's top natural health / natural living authors
"Beware of "natural" grocery products
Speaking of names, many snack foods and other grocery products are labeled with the word "natural," hoping to jump on the bandwagon of demand for healthier foods. Often, they will take the same recipe of an existing product line, slap the word "natural" on it and continue to load those foods up with dangerous ingredients such as monosodium glutamate, artificial colors or even hydrogenated oils.
The word "natural" has no meaning whatsoever in the world of food." - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)
"You can go to the grocery store and find disease-promoting foods and grocery products made with ingredients known to promote diabetes, obesity, heart disease and other such disorders. And yet there are statements on the front of these packages claiming they are "doctor recommended." Well, if they're doctor recommended, why are they made with ingredients that cause neurological disorders, cardiovascular disease, obesity and diabetes? The answer is that many doctors will put their name on anything as long as they make a buck doing it."

"People want to believe in what I call the mythology of prescription drugs, or the mythology of foods and grocery products. It is this mythology that actually sells the drug, not the reality. I've written an article on the mythology of Acomplia that discusses this.
Beyond prescription drugs, there's a mythology associated with products like Slim Fast. Slim Fast is a fascinating product because it is extremely successful in terms of sales, yet if you look at the ingredients of the product, it is made primarily with sugar."

| "And manufacturers, in turn, must deliver the foods and grocery products that are desired and purchased by consumers. Thus, it is ultimately consumers who decide which products succeed in the marketplace and how grains are processed. When consumers purchase products made with refined white flour, they are in a sense of voting for this production process. The more consumers purchase foods that contain healthy oils, fiber, and whole grains, the more food factories and food manufacturers will retool their processes to meet that consumer demand." - Mike Adams, Grocery Warning: How to recognize and avoid the groceries that cause cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other common diseases (Get the book.)

"Cleaning out your pantry
After reviewing this list of food and grocery products to avoid, you may realize - like most people - that you probably have a few of these products in your refrigerator or pantry right now. What's a person to do? Should you throw out all the food in your pantry and replace it with products from the approved shopping list?
My general advice on this question is that no, you shouldn't throw out all of the foods in your pantry just because they contain metabolic disrupters."
