FoodSmart Author Diana Hunter, who is currently on national tour and just won the National Indie Excellence Award for Nutrition, has been warning people about food chemicals for over a decade. People, including those in the government, really need to start paying attention to this lady!

These very same scientists have also discovered that living is a major cause of most diseases and breathing only increases the odds of getting sick and dying.

The meat they processed in the dark ages was not injected with all kinds of chemicals and other crap. The manufacturing of animals in today's factory farms could not help either. There is nothing similar to the meats that people ate in the dark ages to today. Not to mention. People in the dark ages did not live very long at all. I always knew nitrates were bad. I buy nitrate and nitrite free bacon. I can't not have bacon.

These scientists are all quacks. Inthe 80's it was don't eat butter/eggs and they pushed margerine which turns out to be the worst, then don't eat red meat which leaves processed ham and the likes of. Now that is bad for you. I think I am going back to the way God makes it, natural. foods that man hasn't screwed with, if there is anything left. The chemical use today is crazy and no wonder some health issues are on the rise

How long will it be befor the F.D.A. will say take this crap off the market and find a different way. We have to stop killing our childern. There are other ways to process food. Keep up with the processed food John you won't be around that long. But it is not about you john it's about the little childern.

Leave processed meat alone. It has brought us out of the dark ages, when fire was invented. Pasta is fattening you! Have a steak, well trimmed, no BB sauce, get the beef flavor!
Oh, I have outlived all vegans already.

You mean to tell me a new study was necessary to come up with these findings? Who felt they needed to fund this research? This useless study probably was footed by taxpayers. The stupid studies need to stop about things we already know numnuts!
