...Allura Red (also called FD&C Red 40 and Food Red 17)...Thankfully my apple and raspberry cordial doesn't list those ingredients. :-) |

Note especially: The dye is used to add colour and texture to foodstuffs, often to attract children. Note also this is all too common a practice for scraping a extra few percent of profits: Why Supermarket Meat is Always (Unnaturally) Red wrote: ... Just keep buying that fake red supermarket meat (along with the fake pink sustainable salmon) and stop complaining, ok? It’s cheap, right? That’s all that is supposed to count for us consumers anyway!... 8 Foods You'd Never Guess Were Artificially Colored wrote: It’s probably no surprise that those unnaturally bright-colored soft drinks, candies, cake mixes and breakfast cereals on store shelves are artificially colored. They simply don’t look like anything found in nature. That makes it’s easier to bypass them if you don’t want to eat potentially health-harming red, orange, yellow, green and blue food dyes. ... And my illusions were smashed years ago whilst on a farm where there was a feed chart with big red underlining marking how much colouring was to be added to whichever animal feed depending on which supermarket was buying that particular "product". The amount/type of colouring was dictated by that supermarket's policies for Marketing and shop lighting and method of packaging and display... Stay healthy folks?!...

Good comments to go un-slimed: Curing the 'incurable' with Michael Mosley wrote: "... all of this turned out not to be true." There are some starkly surprising comments in there... How can we get all this so deadly wrong?... Especially when it is so easy to get right?... Who profits? Is this some big Marketing and Pharmaceutics greedy conspiracy??... Live well folks!

I love cotton, but the industry here does have a lot to answer for and even more now. Federal environment department investigating allegations of unlawful Northern Territory land clearing. The federal government is investigating potentially unlawful land clearing in the Northern Territory, where satellite images obtained by the ABC suggest swathes of unique savanna have been flattened to make way for a cotton industry.Destroying everything so that a hand full of people can profit. |

Is this part of a far too long and delayed chain of dominoes? 'Forever chemicals' still in use in UK make-up wrote: Major beauty brands Urban Decay, Revolution and Inglot are selling make-up in the UK containing "forever chemicals", BBC News has found. All a secret slimy game until eventually scrutinized?... And the consumers be damned?? Stay healthy folks?!

Is DiHydrongen Monoxide a 'forever' chemical? The majority of your body is made up of it. All my research says it does not naturally break down further. While it can be broken down it requires specialized conditions or equipment to do so. You know that when ever a "so called" or "catchy slogan" has to replace an actual description the person so doing is already at full velocity down the slippery slope grabbing for straws. |

Water is non-toxic unless you drown yourself in it. Whereas, we have multiple industrial nasties that accumulate in your body tissues and in the environment around us to poison us off to a sad death. We really need to require that all industrial products must be proven to be inert, or to have a short "half-life" so as to never bio-accumulate. Very nasty. Stay clean and healthy folks!

Going slightly less slimy: Beans in toast could revolutionize British diet wrote: ... Fava beans are particularly high in easily digested protein, fiber, and iron, nutrients that can be low in UK diets. But the majority of people are not used to cooking and eating fava beans, which poses a major challenge. Firstly, we directly made people ill from the newly Marketed new white wonder bread. Years later, the white wonder bread was 'fortified' so that it didn't make people ill quite so quickly. And now... Add beans to substitute some of the cheap ingredients so as to try to make the white wonder bread slightly less unhealthy again... Whatever next?! Or enjoy wholesome bread in the first place?... All a game of deadly unhealthy greed? Live well folks! Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

It's only for white bread, wholemeal bread doesn't need fortifying. |

... But why are people's diet so bad to need vital food 'fortification' interventions in the first place?... It's only for white bread, wholemeal bread doesn't need fortifying. If you've ever wondered why whole wheat flour and its products are more expensive than white flour products when the additional processing step to remove something hasn't been done, it's because it has about one-quarter the shelf life before it spoils (blame the wheat germ oil and other oils going rancid.) Spoilage and less storage ability drives the price up, and in less well-off countries lower price is often the only criterion. |

Still deadly slimy: Little evidence to support health claims made on formula milk wrote: There is little evidence to support some beneficial health claims made by formula milk firms, a study has found. That is so gently worded compared to the deadly Marketing trickery employed to peddle a dubious product... All 'merely' a 'game' of Tobacco industry styled industrial Marketing? Judge for yourselves for just one example company for the consequences: Nestlé baby milk scandal has grown up but not gone away wrote: The Baby Killer explained how multinational milk companies like his were causing infant illness and death in poor communities by promoting bottle feeding and discouraging breast feeding. Every Parent Should Know The Scandalous History Of Infant Formula wrote: ... Outrage started in the 1970s, when Nestle was accused of getting third world mothers hooked on formula, which is less healthy and more expensive than breast milk... Why the Nestlé boycott continues – what is Nestlé doing about Ukraine? wrote: Nestlé is the target of a boycott because it contributes to the unnecessary death and suffering of infants around the world by aggressively marketing baby foods... Merely 'just' Marketing? Or deadly greedy coercive deception?? Needless to say, personally I avoid anything Nestle and their other rebranded (obfuscated) dubious products. Stay healthy!

Here's one to work and play towards for good health! Daily walk prevents one in 10 early deaths wrote: You don't have to be a runner or play sport to feel the benefits of exercise - fitting a brisk walk into your day is good enough... So...

Literally being slimed: Consumers were possibly at risk from contaminated meat... wrote: ... The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is investigating allegations a rogue meat supplier falsely labelled foreign pork as British, and mixed rotting pork with fresh products for processing... So...

Companies down under, be warned about the legitimacy of your so called "Green" claims or it will cost you. Why corporate regulators such as ASIC and the ACCC are taking greenwashing more seriously. ....In late 2022, the CPRC investigated how much greenwashing – the marketing of products as environmentally sustainable when they're not – was happening in Australia on any given day. And the news wasn't great. |
