Do You Know Which Is the Most Cancerous Aisle In the Supermarket?

I have a love/hate relationship with supermarkets. Yes, I acknowledge that they’re basically responsible of feeding entire city blocks that normally don’t have access to farmer’s markets. But they’re also responsible for holding some of the most dangerous “food” products known to man.

Which brings us to the chief offender lurking in your local grocery store: Sodium Benzoate.

Sodium Benzoate Is Not What You Think It Is

The problem is that too many of us actively confuse it with benzoic acid. Here’s what we need to clarify, benzoic acid is a naturally occurring compound that’s present, in barely noticeable amounts, in a lot of fruits.

Sodium Benzoate, on the other hand, is actually a synthetic compound that’s found its way into hundreds of products that are considered “natural”. You’ll find it in fruit juices, olives, soft drinks, and pickles.

If you’re wondering why some food manufacturers would actually expose your family to this dangerous compound, the answer is simple: profit. Sodium Benzoate is commonly used as a food preservative to drastically increase the shelf life of natural products before they become waste for supermarket managers.

What Does It Do to a Healthy Body?

The side effects of consuming too much Sodium Benzoate in your diet seems like something out of a horror story. Some studies show that it can actually slowly suffocate cells because it hinders their ability to absorb oxygen efficiently.

Specifically, it destroys your body’s nutrients at a cellular level by mitigating your mitochondria’s access to oxygen.

But wait, that’s not where it ends. This lack of oxygen in your cells is only the first step in a chain reaction that greatly compromises the long-term health of anyone eating Sodium Benzoate.

Without the proper amount of oxygen feeding your cells, you’re slowly going to realize that you’re more vulnerable to disease. Research has made a connection between oxygen-deprived cells and a weakened immune system.

And this is only the setup for the truly scary aspect of this synthetic compound. When cells are weakened they lose their ability to fight off infections and possibly prevent the formation of cancer cells.

Unfortunately, there are two other dangers hiding in your local supermarket: milk and beef.

There’s Something About Milk

The advertising behind milk is probably the biggest lie ever pulled on the American public. Calcium isn’t the most important thing for your bone’s health; magnesium is actually the most important thing for the skeletal system.

And this lie comes at a huge cost to your family’s health thanks to the shortcuts taken by the dairy industry. Why? Because dairy products are loaded with a deadly cocktail of antibiotics and growth hormones that can wreak havoc on anyone’s endocrine system.

What’s In the Beef?

Unfortunately, the beef products are also vulnerable to the same moral shortcomings of the dairy industry’s treatment of their livestock. Cooking a nice steak is almost the same as feeding your family the same cocktail of antibiotics and hormones.

Some meat producers even use this disgusting additive to save money on their end.

How to Stay Safe In Your Local Supermarket

It’s simple; avoid any of the aisles filled with corporate products that are designed to maximize their profits at the expense of your family’s health.

When it comes to fruits and vegetables, the safest bet is to either buy completely organic or do the necessary research to make sure nothing is sneaking into your food.
