The catchphrase “The Best thing since sliced bread” may still be used as a benchmark, but did you know that the same brad may be giving you cancer? White Flours are not naturally occurring, but are made so by bleaching with Chlorine Gas, which destroys its nutrient value. To sell it as a nutritious food, these flours are topped up with artificial nutrients and vitamins and these trigger the growth of cancer cells. So besides obesity and Heart diseases, processed white flours are giving you cancer too.
10. GMOs
GMOs are plants or animals which have a gene inserted into them from another species. If you think your intake of GMOs is negligible, think again. Soybean, Canola (for oil), squash, zucchini, corn are all Genetically Modified Plants. The bacon you love might come from a pig fed on a diet of Genetically Modified Corn. It is believed that the herbicides used for GMOs change the DNA of the plant causing a wide variety of diseases, including cancer of the gut.
