Today's Health Awareness Tip 970: What does "CONCENTRATED" mean - continued
So, yesterday . . . we spoke about how "concentrated" juices are made and processed.
Well, today . . . let's continue to understand the "devastation" CONCENTRATED juice does to the body.
Now . . . many of these "concentrated" juices on the market today . . . have stabilizing agents "added" to help maintain flavor and color over long periods of time . . . for a longer shelf life.
Plus . . . "concentrates" can contain MORE "carbohydrates" with all those "simple sugars" . . . than eating a regular piece of fruit.
Okay . . . so, what are the "stabilizing agents" . . . and . . . "preservatives" I speak of???
Well . . . this "new" product called "Plezi Fizz" on the market also contains . . .
"Citric acid" and "ascorbic acid" to "preserve" and "stop" the fruit juice from "going bad"!!!
Now . . . "Citric acid" is "naturally found in "citrus fruits . . .
BUT . . . the "synthetic version" of "citric acid" and "ascorbic acid" . . . like in many juice products . . . are produced from a type of "mold" called "Aspergillus niger" . . . and can "trigger" . . . allergies . . .
And some symptoms would be . . .
Muscle aches
Joint pain
Digestive problems
Inflammation
Chronic asthma
Autism spectrum disorder
Irritable bowel syndrome
Fibromyalgia
and Shortness of breath
Now . . . what about the "STEVIA LEAF EXTRACT" that's in this product???
Well . . . the FDA "has" approved only the highly purified "steviol glycosides" from "stevia leaves" . . .
BUT . . . the U.S. National Library of Medicine states:
"Stevia" may lead to "microbial" IMBALANCE . . . disrupting the communication between gram-negative "bacteria" in the gut.
Meaning . . . is can "disrupt" the communication system between the gut and the rest of the body.
NOT GOOD PEOPLE!!!
And guess what???
"Stevia" was actually "BANNED" in the U.S. . . . due to studies suggesting it may be LINKED to "cancer" . . .
What???
BUT . . . the year Obama was elected in 2008 . . . "stevia" was reviewed and "granted" GRAS status by the FDA. (was it a coincidence or not)
Okay . . . so, it gets worse!!!!
According to a recent study done by the Cleveland Clinic . . . they state:
A "sugar alcohol" called . . . "erythritol" . . . which is used as a sugar "replacement" . . . is often added to "Stevia" to "bulk" or "sweeten" it . . .
And for that matter "sweeten" monk fruit and keto reduced-sugar products ALSO . . .
Has been linked to "blood clots" . . . "heart attacks" . . . "stroke" . . . and "even death".
So, tomorrow . . . let's continue . . .
