The American diet is too high in refined sugar and carbohydrates which leads to nutrient depletion. Combined with the toxin load of thousands of chemical additives added to our food supply, it is no wonder we are seeing a rise of early onset physical illnesses as well as psychiatric disturbances.

Did you know that the United States leads the world in both psychiatric illnesses and chronic degenerative diseases? I firmly believe that the two are related and the causative factors can be the same. The SAD (Standard American Diet) is unhealthy and promotes a sick malfunctioning population. It is a product of corporate irresponsibility, and with the help of the government, the public is kept misinformed regarding good health advice. We are currently in a shameful period of our history where only disease causing substances and potentially harmful treatments are allowed to be advertised to the public. Censorship is used against things that are pro-health and preventative in nature.
People can not thrive on a diet that is predominately high in refined sugar and other carbohydrates and that lacks whole, unprocessed foods. To do so plays havoc with brain biochemistry. When blood sugar plummets on a regular basis (after first going too high as a response to the sugar bombardment), one's life will have a tendency to mimic these ups and downs that are being experienced by the brain due to an erratic supply of glucose. The other major assault to our brain balance is chemicals. Remember, anything that affects the brain may affect behavior. Many commonly used chemicals in our food are known brain toxins.
There are over 3,000 chemical additives allowed in our food supply. The average American takes in over four pounds of these additives every year. These chemicals provide absolutely no nutritional value to the food and therefore are a burden for the body to handle. What the body can't eliminate, it stores. There is no positive side to the people who are ingesting this enormous toxic load. The only benefits are related to industry convenience and economics. Keep in mind that the majority of all cancers are thought to have a toxic cause.
MSG is one of the prevalent additives. Over 100 million pounds are used annually in the U.S. Fast food restaurants are the biggest users of this brain toxin. It serves no worthwhile purpose. It acts on the brain to enhance taste perception. It works like a drug and is considered an "excitotoxin", which means it excites brain nerve cells to death. Some of the side affects are; obesity, loss of appetite control, depression, macular degeneration, headaches, fatigue, hypersensitive stress response, etc. Is it any wonder we are seeing all of these things on the rise in young people.
Another chemical toxin is artificial sugar. It is a stimulant that breaks down in the body to methanol and formaldehyde. Do not be fooled that this is a healthy substitute for sugar. Most people think it is better because it has no calories. The toxic by-products however, cause you to gain weight, not lose it. How this substance even got approved for use in the food supply is a disgusting example of how politics is played today. Buying influential connections (this includes hiring them), and corporate infiltration of the very same government agencies that oversee them, is just part of the story.
High fructose corn syrup is another unnatural ingredient to be aware of, and it is everywhere. Again, it is not a good source of nutrition, but it is the number one source of calories for teenagers. Is it any wonder diseases like diabetes are skyrocketing? Also, violence has been on the rise amongst teenagers. Violence can be a product of nutrient depletion (particularly the B vitamins) from empty calories. Combine that with a toxin overload affecting the brain and nervous system, and you have a recipe for disease and dysfunction. Depression, ADD, etc. are all increasing dramatically.
Never is a chemicalized, artificial additive or food substitute good for your health. Get as close to zero of these things as you can. When you are not sure, a good rule is the closer to the earth, the better the choice.
