Category: Big Ag and Food Chemicals

Articles and Announcements about CHEMICALS in FOOD Products and Garden Products like Fertilizers, Glyphosates, Soil Wetters, GMOs (Genetically Modified). The amount of Chemicals which are allowed in this Country is Scandalous. We have a really Good Reputation for producing some of the Cleanest Wine. in the World. Lets raise the Standards against the use of Nasty Chemicals and Go Natural like Europe. And Keep GMOs Out of Australia!

Published on Leave a comment on Unhealthy Oils And Spreads: Don’t Be Duped – Learn The Real Facts And Pass Them On!

By Janet Vargas - Natural Health Researcher

CANOLA and 'VEGETABLE OILS' and MARGARINE GO THROUGH A TOXIC CHEMICAL PROCESS and are Not the 'Healthy Products' the Manufacturers claim they are. Please Read!

Please read the other Post I am writing parallel to this one HERE about REAL FOODS. You will want to "Side with Nature" when you read the following. I am committed to Caring about the "Health & Happiness" of Australians and think you have the right to know these things. If you are an advocate for Low-Fat Diets and Polyunsaturated Oils, hopefully you will think again after reading about the benefits of NUTRITIOUS OILS that offer much more than Cheap Veggie Oil and Canola Manufacturers claim to give you.

The claims are found to be false and misleading. They promise to “save you from cholesterol” and overweight……… the Oils high in Monounsaturates like Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Macadamia Oil and Avocado Oil are the ones that help to keep our LDL Cholesterol Level Low, not the Polyunsaturates. And people put on weight with them anyway but no-one thinks about that. Modern Day Charlatans are many in the Food Industry - highly skilled in crafting lies to get your confidence - they have no conscience, so we really do need to be careful.…

Alan Is A Straight Talker, I Like The Way He Writes And He Is One Of The Best Out There. Read On.

In the movies, it’s played for laughs: A little Aluminum Foil… shaped like a hat… is the sure sign of a conspiracy weirdo.

Well, my friend, today I’ve got the REAL conspiracy.

It involves the main ingredient in that foil.

You’re not wearing it ON your head as a hat (at least, I hope you aren’t). But it’s getting IN your head anyway – and it’s not there to help you out.

Aluminum is a MAJOR undiagnosed cause of Cognitive struggles in Seniors, leading to decline and even Dementia, not to mention more severe Neurodegenerative diseases ranging from Parkinson’s to Alzheimer’s.…

Published on Leave a comment on The Fallacy Of Low Fat Diets And True Healthy Fats – Don’t Settle For Myths

By Janet Vargas - Natural Health Researcher

It Concerns Me When I See So Many Women Buying Lots Of Low-Fat, No-Fat Groceries For The Family (Kids And All) Setting Themselves And Their Kids Up For Being Cranky Because Healthy Fats Help To Cushion Our Nervous System. Our Brain And Heart Also Require Their Share - This Is Vital INFO You Are About To Read!

Extra Virgin Olive Oil - The choice of Healthy Mediterraneans

I intend to put a few very important things STRAIGHT on this page concerning the popular Low Fat Diet and the Cholesterol Scare Campaign and show you that the concerns raised about Fat-Intake are NOT VALID. There will be some cutting-edge knowledge Revealed by True Experts and an appeal to common sense. We need to know the REAL FACTS!

Low Fat Lies!

The Low-Fat Craze that commenced in the 90's has taken so many by storm and convinced most of the Medical Profession and Governments through Misinformation that "Fat is bad for You"..... "Watch your Weight"....."Watch your Cholesterol". And people are convinced this is true to the point of even changing the family meals to accommodate these concerns and leaving HEALTHY FATS out of their children's diets - that presents an imbalance to necessary NUTRITION.…

Published on Leave a comment on WHY Do People On The PALEO DIET Avoid Grains? The REASONS Are A Real DISCOVERY!

Hi Folks, Letting You See This Article I Found On The PaleoLeap.Com Website Today. I Think It Makes A Lot Of Sense. As A Researcher In Natural Health 33 Years (self-funded) I Thought I’d Read Their INFO When Researching Ancient Grains Further For Myself, Due To A Real Interest In Them And This Link Came Up In My Google Search.

To Eat Grains Or Not To Eat Grains -
That Was The Question

In my opinion, the KETO DIET and the PALEO DIET are somewhat Unbalanced And Extreme and Some Of The Alternative Foods Are Quite Expensive. However, Their Reasons For Not Having Grains Is More Revealing Than I Anticipated. I knew It Had To Do With Modern Wheat Etc But Read This:

What Is Wrong With Eating Grains? Paleo View

There are modern misconceptions about the role of genes and how they express are difficult to break. It’s now known that diseases that result from errors in the sequence of a gene are extremely uncommon, with less than 1% of diseases falling into this category. Contrary to what you may believe, Celiac is not one of them. (2)

Disease is not written in our Genetic Code.…

Watch out for Synthetic Sweeteners Masquerading as Natural Sweeteners!

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO KNOW

These Manufacturers Have NO Conscience!

ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS – SWEET NOTHINGS FOR YOUR HEALTH?

Artificial sweeteners have been considered a solution to the problems caused by sugar intake. They lack calories and are advertised as a healthy alternative to high fructose corn syrup and sugar. However, studies have shown that consuming artificial sweeteners might make you gain weight faster than if you were consuming regular sugar. Artificial sweeteners slow your metabolism and ultimately trigger you to eat more. The three main ingredients in artificial sweeteners — aspartame, saccharin, and acesulfate potassium — have all been linked to cancer as well as Alzheimer’s disease, autism, chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease.

I used to use them too (not me, the writer) thinking they were better when compared to sugar since it’s what I was taught in school when I was studying to be a dietitian. If dietitians use and recommend them, it is no wonder we believe they’re good for us, right? Well, as research repeatedly shows, there may not be any good reasons to support the notion that artificial sweeteners are beneficial to us.…

How Cleaning Products Are Messing With Your Mental Health

Interview with Marilee Nelson from Branch Basics

When it comes to our mental and physical health, we often focus on what we should eat, how much we should exercise, and how much we should meditate –  and forget to take a good look at where we spend most of our time: our homes.

Be Kind To Yourself - Nasty Chemicals In Many Cleaning Products Are Worse Than You Think.

In this week’s blog and podcast, I speak with Marilee Nelson, founder of Branch Basics, about how the hidden toxins in our home can affect our mental and physical wellbeing, how to keep our living spaces free of toxic chemicals and products, how to protect our brains and bodies outside of the home and more!

As Marilee points out, products with harmful chemicals like pesticides and artificial fragrances in our homes can harm our health. Even small amounts can affect us, including many of the ingredients in supposedly non-toxic products! There is little regulation regarding cleaning supplies, and many do not even have a full ingredient list. We do not even understand how many of these chemicals affect our health over the short and long term (Marilee describes the impact of these chemicals in detail on the Branch Basics YouTube channel, if you are interested in learning more).   …

To Help Insects, Make Them Welcome In Your Garden – Here’s How

By Brian Lovett - Postdoctoral Researcher in Mycology, West Virginia University

Lawns Are Insect Food Deserts

Some gardeners choose native plants to attract and support helpful insects. Often, however, those native plants are surrounded by vast expanses of lawn. If you’re a gardener looking for a new challenge this year, consider revamping all or part of your yard to support beneficial insects.…

Published on Leave a comment on Market Growers, Give Up Nasty Chemicals And Try Soilcharge Instead

I Came Across This Company 6 Years Ago In 2015. They Deeply Feel A Commitment To Growers And Commercial Enterprise, Devoted To Changing The Depleted Soil Across Australia. I Have Spoken To Graeme Joyce The Founder Of Soilcharge, A Few Times And Heard His Vision For Australian Growers And Our Soil. His Focus Back Then Was To Make His Natural/Organic Products Affordable For The Average Grower And Small Growers, And He Said To Me Today Over Phone "IT MUST BE SUCCESSFUL"........So That's The Standard For His Products. He Has Also Shared Testimonies Of Satisfied Customers In Addition To Those Found On His Website, I Will Place In This Post.

Excerpts From The Soilcharge Website.

When you buy Soilcharge products you are dealing with an Australian business which is family-owned and family run. 

We work with growers of gardens, sport fields and farmers to promote healthy, fertile soil and premium crops and pasture of all sorts.

Published on 2 Comments on GMOs (Genetically Modified Foods) And Pesticides: How Safe Are They Really?

By Janet Vargas - Natural Health Researcher

Extensive Reading. Recently Updated.

Friends, You Need To Know The True Facts On Monsanto's GMOs And Glyphosates. Misleading Information Abounds And Comes From Surprising Places (you don’t expect). It’s Alright To Be Cautious. We Need To Be These Days. There Are Big Profits And So Much Greed Out There, As Most Of Us Know.

This Post Will Show Pro GMO Supporters And INFO Sources To Be Very Ignorant Or Deliberately Misleading. Some Intelligent People Suspect Big Pharma And The Chemical Industry To Be Close Allies, Due To So Many People Getting Sick From Chemicals And Then They Have Chemical Drugs Prescribed To Them By Their MD/GPs.

That would not surprise me if it is so because concerns I address in Research on damages caused by Medical Drugs and Agricultural Chemicals goes pretty much hand in hand - generally speaking. It is interesting to note here that BAYER Manufactures make Both. If you do a Google search for Bayer Pharmaceuticals and Bayer Agriculture Products, I think you may be surprised what you find.

Can you see the question that comes to mind when researching? It's a possibility that Big Ag and Big Pharma and the Food Giant companies who are so persistent in adding Chemicals to almost everything we but in the Supermarkets have been close Allies for decades.…
