Commentary

The goal of this blog now is to build up your health and especially the immune system to withstand the coming pestilences that are now rampant in America and the world. God gave the knowledge to prepare for pestilences, so take advantage of this information. The focus is posting articles with great information that can immediately help your health and quality of life.

This may be one of the most important blog posts we’ve ever done because of the articles on the dangerous, contaminated foods that are being imported from China. The first step in protecting your health is nutrition, and when foods not only lack nutrition but are potentially hazardous or could cause fatalities, then it’s time to pay careful attention to where your food originates and under what circumstances it’s being produced – both for yourself and your pets.

Whenever possible, buy local, fresh produce and meats, rather than canned or frozen. At a minimum, make certain that labels tell you where these foods originate and are processed, and if they don’t tell you that information, DON’T but them. It may take a bit longer to use fresh ingredients, and they may cost a bit more, but what is your health worth to you?

Why is all of this happening? See below for videos that answer this question.

God bless you.

Foods Coming from China – Filled with plastics, pesticides and hazards

There are 12 new articles and 5 videos posted, two of which have links and descriptions below.

GMO and Contaminated Foods

Avoid these foods from China: they are filled with plastic, pesticides and cancer-causing chemicals  Although we generally only print a synopsis and urge you to click on the site for more information if it’s a subject that interests you, this is so crucial (and potentially deadly) that we’re reprinting the entire article here. The products mentioned are staples in the American diet, and most of us have no idea that the bulk of them are coming from China (especially when there are local sources for them). What are the FDA and our government doing? It’s apparent that there’s an agenda here, and that doesn’t involve the protection of American consumers.

“Generally speaking, quality control and employee health are not issues that Chinese industry or the Chinese government are overly concerned about, especially in comparison to U.S. and European standards. But there are some foods and products you should definitely avoid completely if they are produced by the Asian giant.

That said, a lot of food consumed throughout North America and Europe is nevertheless imported from China, but that comes at an additional cost over and above the price on the products. The food awareness site, Why Dont You Try This, reported that some “food” companies in China were mass-producing fake rice made from plastic, which of course can cause serious digestive issues (where is our Federal Trade Commission, by the way?), and may even be fatal if consumed daily.

The site also reported on 10 other foods made in China, which have serious contamination and health problems, and should be avoided at all times:

Tilapia: An astounding 80 percent of tilapia, a whitefish that is sold in the U.S., comes from China. These fish are bottom feeders anyway, and eat nearly anything. With so much water pollution in China, eating anything raised in contaminated water would not be safe, of course. In addition, one study says that tilapia is less healthy than bacon, the site reported.

Cod: Another popular whitefish in the U.S., about 50 percent of cod consumed in America comes from China. Again, there is the water pollution and feeding issue; and what’s more, there are not many restrictions in China for exporting these kinds of products.

Apple juice: Again, about half of all apple juice sold in America comes from China (because it’s cheaper, supposedly). Chinese farmers are known to use harmful (to humans and the environment) herbicides on the food they grow, and this even includes herbicides that the government has banned (so they must be bad). Your best bet here is to make your own apple juice at home from locally grown organic crops.

Processed mushrooms: More than one-third of the processed mushrooms sitting on grocery shelves in the U.S. – 34 percent – come from China. Like the apples, it’s hard to tell where and how the mushrooms are grown. To be safe, buy local, organic mushrooms, or buy a trusted American or Canadian brand.

Garlic: An alarming 31 percent of garlic in American grocery stores come from China, and these are grown using herbicides containing, mainly, methyl bromide. That’s just not safe.

Chicken: In 2013, the website noted, the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture approved the sale of Chinese chicken in the U.S. (as if there isn’t enough chicken grown domestically). As with fish, the manner in which Chinese chickens are fed is highly questionable – and unsafe. China is also often plagued with viruses like the avian flu and other food-borne illnesses.

Plastic rice: This one is hard to imagine since rice is a staple in Asia. However, major amounts of fake rice have been seized by authorities in China, and reports say that the product is actually a mixture of potatoes combined with synthetic resin. The goal, of course, is to make money; scam artists have been imitating a popular form of Chinese rice known as “Wuchang,” a rice that remains hard after boiling. But long-term consumption of this food can cause cancer, the website noted.

Black pepper (mud): One vendor in China was caught selling mud as “black pepper.” This is a local problem, but you never know.

Industrial salt: Like pepper-mud, this, too, is a localized problem, but it seems as though industrial salt is making its way to Chinese tables. But in reality, any salt from China could contain an industrial mix, which can contribute to high blood pressure and an added risk of heart attack and stroke.”

9 Toxic Fake Foods Made in China Contain Plastic, Pesticides and Cancer Causing Chemicals  This article contains a few of the same items as the article above, but it also lists other different ones that you absolutely need to avoid.

“China is known for many things, but they’re perhaps most infamous for their counterfeit items. Recently it spread across the media about the plastic rice but no one has done anything about it. Consuming this artificial rice can harm the digestive system and also can damage hormones. BPA from the plastic is being ingested in the body, it imitates estrogen, with that – the levels of estrogen are becoming too high. But now there are more items and products made of this plastic which is poisonous and harmful for your health and can cause various deadly diseases…

Imitation Eggs
Some Chinese websites videos claim that you can earn $70 a day by producing & selling fake eggs. Chemicals which is used are “Alginic Acid, Potassium Alum, Gelatin, Calcium Chloride, water and artificial color.” The eggshells are made from Calcium Carbonate. Eating these eggs may cause memory-loss and dementia.

Walnuts stuffed by cement
In 2012 a man purchased shelled walnuts in Zhengzhou city, China only to find broken concrete pieces inside. The concrete was wrapped in paper to prevent it from making a suspicious noise when the nut was shaken. The vendor who sold the walnuts was trying to gain more profit by selling these fake nuts that were much heavier than the real thing. (5)

Sweet Potato Noodles
A facility in Zhongshan city, China made at least 5.5 tons of fake noodles. In 2011, people started complaining that what were supposed to be sweet potato noodles tasted strange. Further investigation led to a revelation that the noodles were composed of corn with an industrial ink used to give them a purple color, and paraffin wax. (6)

Making beef out of pork
Because pork is less expensive in China, some restaurants have sold it instead of beef – but not before they performed some chemistry on it. What they use are a beef extract and a glazing agent to “marinate” the meat in for 90 minutes. Doctors have advised people to stay away from this fake product as its long-term use may cause “slow poisoning, deformity, and even cancer.”

Green peas
China is exporting fake green peas. These peas have been made of soy beans, snow peas, green color and sodium metabisulfite (a synthetic that is originally used as a bleach and additive). The green color is cancerous and prevents the body to absorb calcium. These peas are not quite like the natural ones when it comes to their look, and when boiled,  they paint the water unnaturally green.

Baby Formula
Their fake formula contains very few nutrients, was likely made of chalk, and makes the children develop a “big head disease,” which makes their heads swell and the rest of their bodies slowly deteriorate.”
