Because people claim health problems on weight... not the poison in our food.Numerous food companies put harmful chemicals in our "food-like" products and THOSE harmful chemicals create disease, obesity is not the cause of disease. With all due respect, it is common that obese people eat more of those products putting more poison into their body and THAT causes disease. Which is why many disease are labeled as "obesity related disease." Chub is not the cause of disease.Make your own doughnuts using coconut sugar, not refined sugar, use unrefined oils,unbleached flours,etc. You do not have to eat less, or eat less calories just stay the heck away from poison and stop eating harmful chemicals (I am not talking about all chemicals as everything has chemicals in it, I am talking about harmful chemicals). Some people eat more heavily processed foods that have harmful chemicals in them. They eat more than others and it builds up faster because they eat more than some other people do. Do not be fooled though, it may take longer to develop diabetes and heart disease because a person eats less than someone else (therefore eating less harmful chemicals and additives) but eventually it will harm them (and it will not be long) The poison will affect the body at some point. Poison can be instant or gradually build up. By instant I mean... people who eat more may develop diabetes, heart disease,etc. faster while people who eat less will not develop those diseases as soon but will eventually feel the effects.
The one thing I can think of comparing it to is the difference between slowly poisoning someone over a long period of time and just killing them fast by putting a bunch of poison in their drink.
I find it funny how when people post stuff about the harmful additives in our food it's "fear mongering. that stuff is okay to eat." even though it's been proven to cause health problems. But when a fat chick posts herself almost naked, everyone is all of a sudden worried about her health.

Ethyl butyrate from natural sources can be distinguished from synthetic ethyl butyrate by Stable Isotope Ratio Analysis (SIRA)"
- Polydimethylsiloxane
- What is Polydimethylsiloxane? It's in silly putty
- What is "pink slime" - "Producers of LFTB start with beef trim. This is the “waste” meat and fat that results from trimming higher quality beef cuts (such as steaks) to customer specifications, and is usually used to make ground beef. The LFTB process begins by separating most of the fat from the beef. This is done by warming the trim and “spinning out” the fat in centrifuges. The result is a very lean beef: approximately 94-97% lean, according to Beef Products Inc. This lean beef can be mixed with higher-fat beef in order to produce low-fat ground beef and processed meat products. But beef trim is notorious for carrying pathogenic bacteria – especially, E. coli O157:H7 and its close cousins, the non-O157 STEC bacteria. So Beef Products Inc. developed an ammonia gas treatment step to kill the microbes."

- What is Glyphosate & why is it dangerous? - ""a broad-spectrum systemic herbicide used to kill weeds, especially annual broadleaf weeds and grasses known to compete with commercial crops grown around the globe. It was discovered to be an herbicide by Monsanto chemist John E. Franz in 1970.[3] Monsanto brought it to market in the 1970s under the trade name Roundup and Monsanto's last commercially relevant United States patent expired in 2000." // Detection of Glyphosate Residues in Animals and Humans (eat real organic food by buying from local farmers).
- What is 4-Methylimidazole and how is it dangerous? - "4-Methylimidazole, commonly known as 4-MEI, is a coloring used by soft drink makers to give their beverages that distinctive dark hue. It can be found in many popular soft drinks, including Pepsi, Coca-Cola and Diet Cola.However, 4-MEI is a carcinogen that has been found to increase rates of malignant tumors when fed to mice and rats in laboratory studies. Despite this research, the FDA has not restricted its use as a caramel coloring agent in food and drinks.Sampling 110 brands of soda and soft drinks, the Johns Hopkins researchers found levels of 4-MEI ranging from 9.5 micrograms per liter to 963 micrograms per liter, with diet colas generally having higher concentrations."
- What is the methamidophos (Monitor) pesticide? - ""Methamidophos, trade name "Monitor," is an organophosphate insecticide..Crops grown with the use of methamidophos include potatoes and some Latin American rice Many nations have used methamidophos on crops, including developed nations such as Spain, United States, Japan, and Australia. Due to its toxicity, the use of pesticides that contain methamidophos is currently being phased out in Brazil. In 2009, all uses in the United States were voluntarily canceled."."
- 20 Ingredients to memorize and avoid in any food you consume
- Konjac /glucomannan - "However, glucomannan use is associated with several potentially serious side effects, and its use has been banned in several countries.FeaturesKonjac root -- also known as konjac fiber and konjac mannon, as well as glucomannan -- is derived from the Amorphophallus konjac plant roots and consists of polysaccharide chains that cannot be absorbed by the digestive system. Konjac root is marketed in four main forms: as a dietary supplement, in meal-replacement drinks, in noodles--often called konjac, shiritaki or yam noodles--and in a dried flake form, designed to be sprinkled on food.”"
- Red # 40 - ""Red food coloring is the most commonly used dye in the U.S., according to Center for Science in the Public Interest. It is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in candy, cereal, baked goods, gelatin powder, drugs and cosmetics. Synthetically derived from petroleum, the additive is also known as FD&C Red No. 40, Allura Red and Red 40. Although most of the dye you ingest is excreted from your body, Red 40 has potential for serious side effects, states the CSPI."
- Silicon Dioxide (okay when digested by eating natural foods)
- Microcrystalline - "Microcrystalline cellulose (C6H10O5)n is refined wood pulp. It is a white, free-flowing powder. Chemically, it is an inert substance, is not degraded during digestion and has no appreciable absorption. In large quantities it provides dietary bulk and may lead to a laxative effect.
Microcrystalline cellulose is a commonly used excipient in the pharmaceutical industry. It has excellent compressibility properties and is used in solid dose forms, such as tablets. Tablets can be formed that are hard, but dissolve quickly. Microcrystalline cellulose is the same as cellulose, except that it meets USP standards.It is also found in many processed food products, and may be used as an anti-caking agent, stabilizer, texture modifier, or suspending agent among other uses." - Dicalcium Phosphate - ""Dicalcium phosphate is a calcium supplement commonly found in prepared breakfast cereals, in pharmaceuticals as an inert ingredient to bind tablets, and in toothpastes. However, too much dicalcium phosphate, or dicalcium phosphate taken in conjunction with other medications, can have negative consequences. In addition, inhalation or skin exposure to the powdered form, if used as a reagent in a laboratory setting, for example, can be irritating.....Effects on the skin...Inhallation Effects...Gastrointestinal Effects...Exacerbation of Pre-Existing Conditions...Interactions with Other Drugs" Note: It seems this is not dangerous itself;however, if you have diabetes, FLD,etc. or take medicines that may mess up your blood sugar, it may create problems. Which may be how diabetes develops.
- Propylene glycol - ""Propylene glycol or 1,2-propanediol, is a colorless, nearly odorless and hygroscopic chemical. It is synthesized by bringing about the hydration of propylene oxide. It is miscible with water and can dissolve numerous dyes and resins. These properties render this chemical as an effective solvent for various industrial processes and a useful additive in cosmetics, medicines and food products. ...Occupational skin exposure to this chemical, may lead to itchy skin accompanied with rashes. Washing the exposed area of the skin with water and getting rid of the chemical will provide relief.Prolonged inhalation of the propylene glycol fumes in the workplace may induce temporary chest pain and discomfort.Propylene glycol and other volatilized products present in the air at home have been identified as a risk factor for asthma and acute respiratory problems.Liquid or vaporized propylene glycol may cause mild eye irritation and may also induce redness and pain. In such cases, eyes must be quickly rinsed clean with cool water."
- Carrageenan- found out this is not as bad as people claim.
- Hexane - "Hexane is used to cheaply and efficiently separate soy oil from soy protein. Many products such as veggie burgers and infant formula, and many of the leading brands of fruit & nut bars, contain soy protein or soy isolate that is processed with hexane.Hexane is a petrochemical solvent – a hydrocarbon byproduct of gasoline processing. It is synthetic, neurotoxic, explosive, and is listed by the EPA as a hazardous air pollutant. Currently, products that are labeled “all natural” or “made with Organic ingredients” can legally include soy treated with hexane.""
- Carmine - "In many regions of the world, producers can simply use the euphemism “color added” to disclose the presence of carmine, but most consumers are not savvy enough to know what that phrase means. The dye is also listed as crimson lake or natural red number four, and in the European Union, it is identified as E120. On occasion, it will be explicitly listed as “carmine” on a label, or as “cochineal dye.”"

- What are the dangers of Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) - ""Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) is an antioxidant consisting of a mixture of two isomeric organic compounds, 2-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole and 3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole. It is prepared from 4-methoxyphenol and isobutylene. It is a waxy solid used as a food additive with the E number E320. The primary use for BHA is as an antioxidant and preservative in food, food packaging, animal feed, cosmetics, rubber, and petroleum products. BHA also is commonly used in medicines, such as isotretinoin, lovastatin, and simvastatin, among others." "nter the antioxidants. When fatty or oily foods are treated with BHA, or its chemical cousin BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene), the preservatives occupy the attention of attacking oxygen molecules in a process chemists refer to as "scavenging free radicals." As a result, the food tastes better for longer." It states this is okay in small doses, but i would stay away from it due to the harmful effects it CAN cause. // Two Preservatives to Avoid? BHA and BHT.Butylated Compounds
- What are the dangers of Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT)? - ""Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), also known as butylhydroxytoluene, is a lipophilic organic compound, chemically a derivative of phenol, that is useful for its antioxidant properties. European and U.S. regulations allow small percentages to be used as a food additive. While there may be some dispute in BHT's use in the human diet, the chemical is widely used in industry wherever oxidation in fluids (e.g. fuel, oil) and other materials must be treated, and free radicals must be kept in check." //Two Preservatives to Avoid?

- **Naturally Dangerous: Surprising Facts About Food, Health, and the Environment by James Collman - some information in the book will show you that not everything is safe, and how easy it is for actual safe foods to be feared because of fear mongering.
- **chemicals ad campaign @ Everyday Scientist
- **"The word "toxic" has a meaning, and that is "having the effect of a poison." Anything can be poisonous depending on the dose. Enough water can even be poisonous in the right quantity (and can cause a condition called hyponatremia)." So, can i eat rat poison, of course not! Sometimes a poison is a poison just because people do not want to admit it, doesn't mean it's not true. Some boxed / heavily processed foods have chemicals that ARE dangerous.Companies use dangerous chemicals because they are cheap and easy to supply. No one should have made that water = dihydrogen monoxide thing because yeah it proved a point, but now people have gone apeshit thinking ALL chemicals are safe. Yeah, lets drink these bleach with some agent orange and bathe in some radiation Chernobyl style because water is okay to drink.Just in case people didn't know, there IS a difference between water so that water =dihydrogen monoxide so all chemicals are good to eat argument is silly and dangerous. Yes, the coca leaf is good for you, but cocaine sure as heck isn't. Water is okay to drink, but if I went to Chernobyl during the nuclear disaster and just ate all the food from there that would be okay because hey! dihydrogen monoxide is totally okay so bleach must be okay to drink as well, right? Stupidness. THINK PEOPLE!!! It seems, to me, a person made the water= dihydrogen monoxide thing because people CAN take it way too far ("the sun is bad," "oils are bad" and other things -Actually that's WHY I made this page, I agree with the person who made the water=dihydrogen monoxide parody page, but some people are like "I can eat this cancer filled food and everything will be okay." no, it's not. Those ingredients really are bad for you. i've seen people claim it's okay to eat whatever simply because of that parody page and it's silly. You NEED fruits, veggies, grains, oils,nuts,seeds and dairy alternatives and foods like refined sugar IS bad for you;however, pure cane sugar isn't, but people are saying refined sugar is okay... it's not. I have seen people claim ALL sugar is bad which is intense(remember, that's why I created this site), but stop saying everyone is a fear monger or conspiracy theorist when they discuss BAD foods are BAD.I'm sorry, you can't eat sh*t all day and expect to live a good life. If you think Mcdonald's food is okay just because of that water page, you need to stop and know that sorry, you need to switch up your eating habits and eat healthier (no, you don't need to lose weight, there IS a difference) and yes, I know not all chemicals are dangerous and if you want to talk about drugs ...I believe pot and psychedelics should be legalized.But there is a difference between trusted psychedelics and a research chemical (which is frowned upon due to it's harmful side effects and dangers.... see, there is a difference between a good chemical and a bad chemical.
