Over 60 percent of apple juice, made from concentrate, consumed in the U.S. is made from apples grown in China and much of the rest is made from apples grown in Chile, Argentina, and Turkey, according to the Times.
If there's one thing that gets me juiced ( there's actually a lot of things that do) it's that it's really hard to get apple juice anymore that doesn't come from concentrate shipped from China. All the major brands and most store brands use Chinese concentrate
Look at the apple juice when you go to the store and see where it’s from. Dad and I looked at every bottle of apple juice at Walmart the other day and did not find one that was not a product of China…
Too funny! I thought you were into raw milk and all that healthy stuff. And you're worried about apple juice????? You're such a ridiculous sham!!
Can Diet Coke Kill You?
Some scientists identified that in 1983 humans began consuming something never before consumed by humans — aspartame, a chemically created substance acting as a sugar alternative — and this is the cause of the big increase in brain cancer. This is an artificial sweetener used in diet drinks, food, and even on the table in most restaurants (i.e. NutraSweet, Crystallite, Equal).
Increase in Aspartame, Increase in Brain Cancer
According to the documentary, in 1984, one year after its introduction, 6.9 million pounds of aspartame were consumed by Americans. In the next year, that even doubled. It continued increasing into the ’90s. This is all at the same time that brain cancer was increasing the most.
From 1984-1987, other cancers outside the brain basically remained the same or declined. However, brain cancer rates shot up.
The parallels are undeniable and chilling, if you look at the brain cancer issue alone.
Beyond the scientific research, by 1988, over 80% of food and additive complaints volunteered to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) were concerning aspartame products. The complaints were not as serious as “I have brain cancer,” perhaps, but it was another sign that something was wrong.
The effects of aspartame can be varied, but the majority of the issues are neurological and relating to the brain. Why does aspartame have this effect?
Scientists think that it is because 10% of the chemical substance, after congestion, becomes free methyl alcohol (wood alcohol), a poison. As one scientist in the film states, it is a “real poison.” Another says, “the poisonous effect of methyl alcohol and its methyl esters are well-known.” Even small amounts of this poison can lead to blindness and death. The “miniscule” amounts in our common foods and drinks seem to lead to cancer.
Bottom line — maybe it’s time to cut artificial sweeteners out of your diet!
Scientists confirmed that the increase in brain cancers is not due to technological advancements that made diagnosing brain cancer easier and it is not a result of changes in disease classifications. http://eatdrinkbetter.com/2009/09/28/diet-coke-can-kill-you/
