The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health.
Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to
4rsgold eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat.
Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human
illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to
the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon. Different cultures are
more prone to contract certain illnesses because of the food that is
characteristic in these cultures. That food is related to illness is
not a new discovery.
In 1945, government researchers realized that nitrates and nitrites,
commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives,
caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and
it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things in the
packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives
which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to
beef and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the
milk of treated cows. Sometimes similar drugs are administered to
animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons. The
farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a
higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices
continue.
