Your Source for Nutritional Education...
Natural Visions is an educational
website dedicated to presenting unbiased information about nutrition in America. As consumers, we feel many of our weight
and health issues are caused by poor nutrition. This website was developed to help cut through the Madison Avenue smokescreen
by presenting information regarding topics such as the additives, preservatives, and chemicals that are in many products sold
in stores and hyped through mass marketing. We present articles and opinions written by experts in the nutritional field,
as well as medical doctors, and others who are concerned about the obesity crisis in America. We show you why it's often much
better to purchase products through independent stores and even multi-level marketing companies, how to read food labels,
why America's food is basically nutritionally bankrupt, and what you can do about it to save the health of yourself and your
loved ones, enabling you to live the life you are entitled to – free of sickness and disease.
America’s Obesity Epidemic
Do you wonder why the most powerful
nation in the world has the most problems with obesity and its related problems? The answer is simple. For years the food
industry has been putting numerous chemicals into their products in the forms of preservatives, additives, artificial flavorings,
and fillers. Our farmers are producing food using herbicides, insecticides, and pesticides. They use chemical fertilizers,
which go into a plant’s root system, then into its fruit, and ultimately into the body of the person who consumes it.
Farmers use steroids, hormones, and antibiotics on their animals…ones
they use for milking as well as meat. All of these chemicals end up in the body of the person who consumes this food. As these
impurities enter our bodies, the liver and other organs responsible for cleansing them from the body eventually become clogged...just
like any other filter in an air conditioner, motor vehicle, or anything else, gets clogged. When the body's natural cleansing
system can no longer do its job, the liver produces fat to surround the toxins in the body. Because there are so many chemicals
in foods, even young children in our country are overweight and sick. Many of them are experiencing medical issues that, at
one time, only elderly people developed, such as heart disease.
Where will it end? Why is the food industry doing this to our nation?
Is it coincidental that as new diseases develop there always seems to be a new pharmaceutical drug put on the market that
promises to "cure" it?

Where Have All The Minerals Gone?Minerals are scarce in the food that is grown because
the soil has been abused. The human body does not produce minerals. We must get them from the food we eat. If we don't, the
body grows ill and eventually dies. Unfortunately, food often contains so few nutrients that Government agencies, which are
supposed to protect the American public, allow the food manufacturers to spray a little of this and a little of that on cereal
or other products, and label it "Vitamin and Mineral Enriched" - of course, advertising agencies spin their devious webs and
produce million dollar commercials that make it appear as though a bowlful of cereal will have everything your body needs
to function properly for the entire day!
Hidden Agendas
Let's start with an additive that many have written about... Monosodium
glutamate, commonly known as MSG. Many of us think that because we don't see MSG on a food's label, it isn't
in the product. Oh really? Guess again. The following article explains how food manufacturers are getting around the
MSG issue.
Hide The MSG!
Monosodium glutamate
(MSG) is an additive added to many foods to "enhance" the flavor. MSG is controversial due to numerous reports
of adverse physical reactions. The general public has been made aware of this in recent years and there has been an attempt
by consumers to avoid MSG in their purchases and when dining out. However, just looking for the words monosodium
glutamate is no longer adequate, as manufacturers - in the name of profits - have resorted to semantics to disguise the
use of MSG in products. Other ingredients that very often contain MSG are:
- Autolyzed yeast
- Gelatin
- Glutamic acid
- Hydrolyzed soy protein
- Sodium caseinate
- Yeast food
|
- Calcium caseinate
- Glutamate
- Hydrolyzed protein
- Monopotassium glutamate
- Yeast extract
- Yeast nutrient
| The average American consumes an alarming 150 lbs. of additives per year!!
Adverse reactions to MSG are quite normally dose dependant, and some people are
more susceptible than others. However because MSG is highly toxic when ingested, both in the long and short term, it should
be avoided at all costs! Reactions to MSG toxicity include, but are not limited to, nasal congestion and runny nose, headache,
dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, burning sensation of your skin, fluctuations in your heart rate, and breathing difficulties.
Consuming MSG over long periods of time has also been linked to Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. A simple way to avoid these products
and therefore MSG is to remove processed foods from your diet and replace them with whole, organic ingredients. For additional
information on the MSG disclosure issue, visit the Truth in Labeling website.
