How often do you stand in front of the refrigerator or kitchen cabinet, trying to decide what you’re going to eat?
Well, if you lived a few centuries ago, you wouldn’t have had much of a choice. Your only option would have been to eat whatever was available. And your selections would be pretty slim.
If freshly caught meat was available you’d dive into it with relish. But more often than not, you’d end up gathering berries, herbs, nuts and other plant-based foods for your next meal.
These days, eating is much more complicated. And it’s not nearly as healthy – even when it sounds like it is.
Here’s the problem…
Even when you choose to eat wholesome foods, they may not be as natural or nutritious as you think they are. This is especially tricky when it comes to foods that are labeled 100% natural.
Open your arteries, improve blood flow for a new health miracle...
Did you know your circulatory system has over 60,000 miles of arteries, veins and other blood vessels, if stretched end to end?
But as you age, your blood vessels undergo changes, which may cause them to stiffen, thicken and get clogged.
GOOD NEWS! Doctors have now identified a “Miracle Molecule” inside your arteries that helps OPEN your arteries and IMPROVE blood flow.
It’s what Dr. Valentin Fuster calls it, "One of the most important discoveries in the history of cardiovascular medicine."To you, that means...
- Healthy blood pressure
- Sharper mind and memory
- Skyrocketing energy and muscular strength
- Increased pleasure and passion in the bedroom
- Improved circulation to every cell and organ in your body
Go here to discover a new natural way to significantly boost the levels of this miracle molecule in YOUR body NOW!
You might think this means the foods are GMO free, contain no additives and are lower in salt, sugar and calories. But that’s not the case.
You see, the FDA’s definition of “natural” is pretty vague. As far as the FDA is concerned, it simply means nothing artificial or synthetic has been added to a food that you wouldn’t already expect to be in it.
Does this mean you expect 100% pure and natural vegetable oil to come from genetically altered corn, canola and soy crops?
Do you expect meats that claim to be “all natural” to come from animals that eat GMO feed and are pumped full of antibiotics and hormones?
I don’t think so. But there’s no law against these claims, just as long as there’s nothing artificial added during the processing of the product.
“Natural” Ingredients Gone Wrong
GMOs aren’t the only unnatural things hiding in your healthy-sounding foods. There are also a boatload of “natural” ingredients aren’t really natural at all.
For example, hydrolyzed protein sounds quite healthy. But in reality, it may indicate hidden MSG. Carrageenan and maltodextrin are other natural ingredients that can clue you in to concealed MSG.
The World's Quickest Solution for Ending Prostate and Urinary Misery
This has recently been revealed to be one of the only real breakthroughs in prostate health.
The seeds of a strange fruit (sometimes called "Chinese Apples") hold powerful phytonutrients that are a revolution in prostate health.
In fact, UCLA and Veterans Administration research have now proved this to be true.
Not only that, but it may be the worlds quickest solution for ending prostate misery.
Simply stated, these phytonutrients represent a huge step beyond beta sitosterol, saw palmetto, and other phytosterols alone.

And what about citric acid? It sounds harmless enough. After all, it comes from citrus fruit, right?
Well, yes and no. You can get it from fruit. But there’s a more economical form of citric acid that’s much cheaper for food manufacturer’s to get their hands on.
It’s made out of black mold. You know… the kind that grows in your house and makes you sick. (Need I say more?)
And there’s a natural ingredient that I find absolutely repulsive. It’s called castoreum and it’s used to create strawberry, vanilla and raspberry flavors.
While that might sound yummy, the truth of the matter is this: Castoreum is a smelly and oily anal substance that beavers excrete – along with urine – to mark their territory.
Now, any and all of these ingredients can be found in “natural” foods.
You also have to watch out for high sodium, sugar and HFCS content in these foods. After all… they’re considered natural, too.
So let’s get down to the nitty-gritty here.
Here’s How to Guarantee 100% Natural Food all of the Time
If you want natural food on your table, take a lesson from your ancestors. Always choose fresh, organic plant-based foods first.
If something comes in a can, jar, box or bag you can bet your bottom dollar it’s ultra-processed. Even if the label says “natural”, it’s a pretty sure bet that a lot of good stuff has been stripped out and replaced with questionable ingredients – even if the label says “natural”.
Next, choose your animal proteins wisely. And keep in mind that it’s important to consider what happens to the animal before it’s slaughtered, not just afterward. That’s why I always recommend wild-caught fish, organic free-range poultry and grass-fed meats.
But don’t stop there. Right now, you have an opportunity that only comes around once or twice in a lifetime.
In a surprising turn of events, the FDA is asking for your comments on what you expect to find in “natural” foods before they consider their next steps on natural labeling.
