Campbell’s Brand “Select Harvest Soup” is a Fraud!
Campbells wants you to believe their “Select Harvest” soups do not contain MSG. But it’s a total Fraud. They contain “Yeast Extract” which contains MSG.
Read the tiny print on their website:
* Except for the small amount naturally occurring in yeast extract.
MSG is MSG. Naturally occurring or not, MSG is potentially very dangerous. Cigarette smoke from Naturally Occurring Tobacco is as dangerous as Cigarette Smoke from name brand cigarettes. So many companies bury the fact that their products contain MSG in “hidden” names like Yeast Extract.
Why does Campbell try and trick people? Why use Yeast Extract at all. It’s not a necessary ingredient in soup. This is a very dangerous practice and injures and hurts people who are allergic to MSG.
Corporate Responsibility is an Oxymoron with Campbells Soup.

Which Plastic Water Bottles are Safest?
August 26, 2008 by admin
Filed under Drinking Water
Choose your water bottles very carefully in order to prevent chemicals in the plastic from leaching into your water.
Plastic water bottles are very convenient for carting water around when we are on the go, as they don’t break if we drop them. However, it is worth paying attention to the type of plastic your water bottle is made of, to ensure that the chemicals in the plastic do not leach into the water. If you taste plastic, you are drinking it, so get yourself another bottle.
To be certain that you are choosing a bottle that does not leach, check the recycling symbol on your bottle. If it is a #2 HDPE (high density polyethylene), or a #4 LDPE (low density polyethylene), or a #5 PP (polypropylene), your bottle is fine. The type of plastic bottle in which water is usually sold is usually a #1, and is only recommended for one time use. Do not refill it. Better to use a reusable water bottle, and fill it with your own filtered water from home and keep these single-use bottles out of the landfill.
Unfortunately, those fabulous colourful hard plastic lexan bottles made with polycarbonate plastics and identified by the #7 recycling symbol, may leach BPA. Bisphenol A is a xenoestrogen, a known endocrine disruptor, meaning it disturbs the hormonal messaging in our bodies. Synthetic xenoestrogens are linked to breast cancer and uterine cancer in women, decreased testosterone levels in men, and are particularly devastating to babies and young children. BPA has even been linked to insulin resistance and Type 2 Diabetes. For more of the science on the effects of BPA on our endocrine system etc. Nalgene, the company that manufactures the lexan water bottles also makes #2 HDPE bottles in the same sizes and shapes, so we have a viable alternative.
Unfortunately, most plastic baby bottles and drinking cups are made with plastics containing Bisphenol A. In 2006 Europe banned all products made for children under age 3 containing BPA, and as of Dec. 2006 the city of San Franscisco followed suit. In March 2007 a billion-dollar class action suit was commenced against Gerber, Playtex, Evenflo, Avent, and Dr. Brown’s in Los Angeles superior court for harm done to babies caused by drinking out of baby bottles and sippy cups containing BPA. So, to be certain that your baby is not exposed, use glass bottles.
Check the recycling numbers on all your plastic food containers as well, and gradually move to storing all food in glass or ceramic.
Store water in glass or brass if possible, and out of direct sunlight.

How Soft Drinks (Soda Pop) Destroys Your Health
Soft Drinks are Damaging to Your Health
Most people realize that consumption of soft drinks is not healthy, but just how unhealthy often catches them by surprise.
Soft Drinks impact your health by:
- Causing Obesity though the consumption of “Empty Calories”
- Wear down bones contributing to Osteoporosis
- Cause Tooth Decay and Erosion
- Contribute to Heart Disease
- Contribute to the development of Kidney Stones
- Contain potential carcinogens
- When combined with Artificial Sweeteners contribute to Neurological Disorders
The bottom line is every time you consume Carbonated Beverages - Soft Drinks - Soda Pop you are doing your body a disservice.
If you would like to know more please take the time to read this report by Michael F. Jacobson, Ph.D. from the Center for Science in the Public Interest, Washington, D.C.

Nutritional Therapy for Back and Neck Pain
Supplements like Zyflamend (New Chapter’s anti-inflammatory Herbal Remedy endorsed by MD’s), Carlson’s Fish Oil (Norwegian and toxin free), Essential Fatty Acids from Pumpkin Seeds and Pumpkin Seed Oil, Flax Seed and Flax Oil (Mix the flax oil 2-5 tablespoons per 4 ounces of organic cottage cheese), lots of pure bottled water (Do not drink distilled water as it has no minerals and will “pull” minerals from your body!) will be of great benefit to many. While genetics may be the determining factor in longevity and health, providing your body with quality nutrition can only help.
If possible have your blood and hair tested for mineral and vitamin deficiencies. Get both tests done as they complement each other. You’re body MUST have nutrition to heal! There are other supplements which will help depending on your own individual needs. Specific foods can cause or reduce inflammation - I’ll cover this topic deeper in posts to the Nutrition Category.
Grocery store foods contain deadly toxins and pesticides that damage your liver, joints, etc. and make it very difficult to heal. Soda Pop is death to the blood. Fix your nutrition now while you still can. Dairy products will clog your intestines and make digestion of essential nutrients more difficult. Diary is full of sugars, pus, blood, fats and hormones your body does not need.
Don’t buy into the Dairy Industry promotion of calcium. Your body requires magnesium to properly absorb calcium, and the ratio of calcium to magnesium in Dairy is about 10:1 not 3:1 or 2:1 which would allow proper absorption of the calcium. There are some exceptions to avoiding Dairy. Organic Cottage Cheese and some Organic Yogurts and Butters may have benefits which outweigh the risks.
Pasteurization kills bacteria, but also destroys essential enzymes. Consider taking Enzyme Supplements with your meals to aid in absorption of nutrients. Enzymes will also be beneficial in reducing inflammation. Limit your consumption of Beef (and inflammatory food) and do not eat pork (contains viruses and plays havoc with your blood).
The bottom line is this: Take a hard look at what you eat everyday, read the labels, try to eat foods that do not come in bottles, boxes, or cans. Eat fresh, eat organic, and give your body the fuel it needs to heal!
I would think most people would find it odd that a Doctor will write a prescription for synthetic chemicals and people will readily and willingly take the pills because the “Doctor told them to”. Sure they know there are side effects, but they have no idea what those chemicals are really doing to their bodies. But those same people would look at the Doctor with disappointment if he told them to eat right. Imagine if your Doctor handed you a list of foods that prevent inflammation and pain, what would you do? Food for thought (Pun Intended).
