"Natural" - What on earth does it really mean?

Many of you know I've always had a pet peeve about the word "natural", because it can mean many things, alcohol is natural, and marijuana is natural. Many things in nature are natural, but still not healthy for consumption especially when mega food growers (Monsanto among others) are adulterating our food supply.

I once went to a health food expo and went to a vendor table where "natural" vitamins were being sold. I picked up a bottle and was reading the label. The gentleman behind the table started to tell me just how good these were and that they were strawberry flavored. As I read the ingredients, somewhere close to the top there were actually strawberries in there, but, as I got closer to the bottom, the words "natural flavors" were listed. I politely asked him what was in "natural flavors". He said it was "probably" strawberries. Well....if it was strawberries, why did they need the "natural flavors" since strawberries were already in the ingredient list at the top.

Dr. Russell Blaylock is a board certified neurosurgeon, author and lecturer. Dr. Blaylock talks about Natural Flavors and Natural Spices as food additives being a derivative of MSG. Natural Flavors and Spices are in just about every conceivable packaged food item you can imagine. These additives are addictive and can cause us to over consume at every meal because as you know MSG makes food taste better but can also cause this addictive nature and kill off brain cells at the same time.

Take a look at the following video from Next World TV and see for yourself. We must become discerning consumers if we intend to become or stay healthy. Organic RAW RAW RAW or at least most of the time...that's my motto!

"49% of Americans eat cereal for breakfast. It is the third most popular item at the grocery store, with 2.7 billion boxes sold annually. Have you been swayed by the "Natural" label on the box? Maybe you thought it meant "almost organic"? You may be surprised what's really going into that box. This short video sets the record straight.
