Most of the consumer products in conventional stores these days contain harmful ingredients that can destroy your health. These harmful ingredients are sometime listed in ways that make them hard to detect. The purpose of this is to prevent you from finding these dangerous ingredients. Many of these harmful ingredients are not lethal because they are not going to kill you right away, but in the long run they can help cause serious health problems, such as diabetes, cancer, sterility, Alzheimer’s and heart disease.
Before you go shopping this weekend make sure you read the list below, because it will help educate you to avoid ten of the most popular consumer products that contain harmful ingredients.
- Fluoride toothpaste: Toothpaste that contains fluoride is dangerous to your health because it is a toxin. Before fluoride was introduced as a cavity fighter, it was used as a rat poison. The health claims about fluoride is very misleading. It does little to prevent tooth decay but does a great job destroying your thyroid gland, metabolism, and increasing your risk of cancer and sterility. Toothpaste that contains toxic ingredients, such as fluoride and sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS), will usually have warning labels on the back of its tube. On the other hand, toothpaste that does not contain toxic ingredients usually has no warning labels. Now, why would fluoride toothpaste manufacturers put warning labels on their product? The main reason is because they know that it is toxic. People have been known to die from swallowing fluoridated toothpaste. A good rule of thumb when buying consumer product is to look for warning labels. If the warning labels tell you information that is life threatening, you should avoid it, especially if it is something that you put in your mouth or on your body.
- Bottled water: According to researchers, about half of the bottled water in the market is filtered tap water. The laws and regulations that govern the bottled water industry are not very specific. As a result, bottled water manufacturers can easily manipulate their labels to mislead consumers. In many cases, chlorine is added to bottled water as a sanitizer to prevent organisms from breeding in the water. Chlorine is not dangerous in small amounts but it still affects your health. Another chemical found in bottled water that may even be more dangerous than chlorine is phthalates. High doses of phthalates have been known to disrupt hormones in rodents, and cause damages to the liver, testes and increase birth defects.
- Chips: This product is one of the most popular consumer products. Chips contain a large variety of harmful synthetic ingredients. One of the most dangerous is monosodium glutamate (MSG). Have you ever wonder why after eating a bag of chips you get headaches? One of the main reasons is because most chips contain MSG which is an excitotoxin. Independent studies have shown a significant relationship toward Alzheimer’s and MSG. In animal studies, the animals that consumed large doses of MSG experienced permanent brain damage due to the destruction of their pyramidal neurons.
- Corn products: Most corn products in the United States, such as corn oil, flour, meal, starch, gluten and syrups are genetically modified. Corn that has been genetically modified is known to produce its own pesticides so insects cannot eat it. Genetic engineering is something that scientists is very poor at doing because they still have little clues to how genes truly work. Many of the studies done on genetically modified food lacked the concrete data to support their claims. Because of scientists immature and naive studies, the consumers are the ones that end up suffering from health problems. To avoid genetically modified corn products only buy the ones that are labeled non-GMO or organic.
- Ice cream: Most ice creams found in conventional stores are full of harmful synthetic chemicals. Three of the most popular synthetic chemicals found in ice cream are acetiel C17, benzyl acetate and pepernial. Acetiel C17 is an aniline dye that is used in the manufacture of plastic, rubber and pharmaceuticals. It is used to mimic the cherry flavor in ice cream. Benzyl Acetate is a nitrate solvent that is widely used as artificial strawberry flavoring. Pepernial is a chemical that is popular for killing lice. Pepernial is used in ice cream to mimic the vanilla flavor

Hello energy and health fanatics, independent thinkers, truth seekers and freedom lovers! My name is Pao L. Chang, and I’m the author and founder of EnergyFanatics.com. My goal is to provide you with knowledge that is beyond the conventional matrix to help free your mind and increase your well-being to a whole new level. One of the things that motivated me to start this blog is the fact that most human beings are unaware that we are being lied to, dumbed down, and brainwashed by the “authorities” that we are supposed to trust. This crime against humanity goes far beyond what most of us can comprehend, and it has polluted all the systems of our planet, including the health, financial, educational, religious, political, and energy systems....
As always, this article provides good information. Many people may not think these “tiny” amounts of damaging substances make much difference to their health, but they may be surprised. After twenty or thirty years, the ill-effects may become evident in the form of permanent damage of some sort — and then, it is too late to do anything about it.
You are offering a great service by reminding us about the unnatural, unhealthy items in our lives that many of us take for granted: milk, cell phones, bottled water, diet sweeteners, genetically-modified plants built into our foods.
I believe we are already seeing the effects of consumption of these unhealthy substances — unexplained allergies, ADHD/ADD, more weird cancers at younger ages, and a general dumbing-down of the population that unknowingly consumes them.
The best protection is to prepare your families food and to watch carefully other items that you buy. Be an informed consumer!
Thank you for this great informations! More Power to you!
This is a great article and I agree with everything that is posted here. Plus new things I never knew! Here are some of my thoughts that I’d like to add:
Flouride: As a singer, I do whatever I can to avoid flouride at all costs, mostly because it can also create thyroid problems. When the thyroid enlarges, it wraps around the larynx (vocal cords), thus creating a “choking” feeling for the singer. That is very interesting that it used to be a rat poison, hence, the choking feeling.
Bottled water: One of the problems with bottled water, in addition to this blog post, is that Xeno-Estrogens can leak from the plastic of the bottle. This can lead to problems like Acne and cancer tumours. All bottled water plastic is not BPA safer. Tap water, when filtered to the maximum, is always better for the body. If you can get well water and filter it, it is also good for the body.
Chips, Ice Cream and Corn Products are also bad for the body, plus have been linked to cancer as well.
Your website is wonderful and i’ll be checking out more of your posts from time to time. Have a great day!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. You have a great day too!
