Unbelievable! Read the Labels

In this blog, I want to share a comment from Samantha.  It is unbelievable, but yet so totally believable.  You must read the labels of the foods you buy!

“I would really like Dr. Amen to see this comment so he can inform others.  I was just reviewing the Brain and Behavior Course and remembered that I just saw the Target brand vitamins for CHILDREN has aspartame in it.   I know well enough to look at every label before consuming something myself or allowing my children to eat it. There are thousands of other parents feeding their children aspartame with a vitamin!  I work with children and helped along so many families with your information.  Keep up the incredible work!”

Whenever I go to the store or fast food restaurants I see unbelievable combinations of toxins, dyes, sugars in the foods we are offered.  Chicken breast, for example, from McDonald’s has the following ingredients:  ”Chicken breast filets with rib meat, water, seasoning (salt, sugar, food starch-modified, maltodextrin, spices, dextrose, autolyzed yeast extract, hydrolyzed [corn gluten, soy, wheat gluten] proteins, garlic powder, paprika, chicken fat, chicken broth, natural flavors (plant and animal source), caramel color, polysorbate 80, xanthan gum, onion powder, extractives of paprika), modified potato starch, and sodium phosphates.  What is chicken breast doing with sugar and gluten?

Most popular chewing gum has aspartame.  The insanity continues to grow unless we demand healthy food.  You are what you eat.  Know what you are eating.

I’m trying to get a definitive answer to the safety or lack thereof, of Aspartame. What is Dr Amens take/stand/position on this additive?

Thanks for all you do!

I did not know there even was a corn gluten. I thought corn was one of the things that celiac sufferes could eat. Thanks, wanda
