European food warning labels
You live off 1/3 of what you eat; your Dr lives off the other 2/3. Daddy needs a new boat, so eat up.
Actually I was just reminded that part of my moral obligation as a doctor was to also prevent disease; so read up and just send in a non-tax deductible donation to the Dr Shawn Lee boat fund. It is not a 501-3c.
Like most Americans I usually mock everything out of Europe. England though has had some minor contributions, mostly Top Gear. But I think they did us a solid here: (as reported by NY times)
· Warning #1: This Product May Cause Adverse Effects On Activity And Attention In Children (This warning label is required because The US version of Kraft Mac & Cheese has artificial food dyes yellow #5 and yellow #6 which are proven to be linked to hyperactivity in children.)
And it does. I have firsthand knowledge of this. When my kids have food dye, they turn into a cross between a crack head and the undead.
Your body actually doesn’t require food, it requires nutrients. I see very little nutrients in not just that box, but any box really. Nutritious food comes from nature, not a package. You want what you eat to have gone through as little processing and change as possible (cleaning, cutting and cooking only permissible). For the most part if you can’t catch it, pick it or kill it-don’t eat it.
Diet is not only a leading cause of heart disease and diabetes; but all death, disease and disability. Including visits to your chiropractor. Chemical stress on the body is a leading cause of inflammation, degeneration and disorder.
Like they say, an apple a day keeps the doctor away, however artificially flavored and colored apple food stuff don’t.
