Normally, I am a person who only eats fresh whole food and I must know what ingredients are being used in the preparation of my meal. The reason for this is because I am fully aware of the awful effects that some chemical additives in our food can have on our health. In the past I use to suffer with chronic fatigue, thyroid issues, acne and a host of other unexplainable illnesses that left me immobile most of the time. As I look around I can see many people unknowingly poisoning their systems with artificial colors and dyes and chemicals, yet they suffer from ailments that they nor their doctor can explain. In an effort to rid themselves of the symptoms associated with these illnesses they run to the doctor and are prescribed a remedy (drug) to alleviate the symptom without ever dealing with the cause of the problem.
As an individual who has eliminated all of my health problems by simply changed my diet and adopting effective stress management techniques, I am honored to share it with others. Just the other day, I was speaking at a function where lunch was provided, normally I would resist the temptation to indulge, but I thought to myself, what could possibly be wrong with the cheese pizza that was ordered; I was extremely hungry! I ate the pizza, went home and decided I would take a nap. I could feel my body chemistry changing as I became a bit ill and more tired, I recognized it because these were the same symptoms I experienced for years before changing my diet. When I woke up from my nap, I noticed that I was not feeling well in general, but I needed to complete the rest of my days agenda.
When I arrived home that evening, I was feeling worse, so bad in fact that I went straight to bed (these are the same symptoms I experienced in the past) I decided that I would look up the ingredients that this particular company uses to make its pizza and sauce, now remember, I buy only whole food products, that means they contain absolutely no artificial ingredients or preservatives. I eliminated soy from my diet and I make my own sauces when possible, so I knew that my body was probably reacting to an ingredient in the pizza. I decided to look up the ingredients and found that there were a few chemical additives and emulsifying agents and of course soy, which I can not have. The point is each and everyone of us are different and there are certain foods that you can tolerate, that may pose a health threat to someone else. The key is in knowing your hidden health dangers as it relates to food. In my opinion, all chemical additives and food dyes are not good for your long term health, but being an educated consumer will help you to understand what it is you are truly eating and to make healthy choices.

Good article. The zero-calorie artificial sweeteners stimulate the release of insulin. Insulin causes your cells to absorb blood sugar. So it is better that you avoid diet soda.
