Eating E numbers: What is behind them? - Health Supreme NewsGrabs Tuesday, 31 August 2010

The day I ate as many E numbers as possible
Yet how many consumers would believe that such additives may actually be good for us? The boom in organic and natural foods in recent years betrays our trust in nature over science. Yet a survey by Which? magazine has found terms such as "natural", "fresh", "pure" and "real", which readily appear on the front of food packaging, are confusing consumers because they are largely unregulated.

Conversely, it is the additives tucked way in the small print of a product's ingredients list that are heavily regulated. And when you look at clinical rather than anecdotal evidence, and speak to clinical dieticians, it appears these are actually good for us - and many seem to be very good for us indeed.

Chemical additives are good for us?

Give me a break!

"How many E numbers can I eat in one day and will I be poisoned from this?" is really the wrong question to ask. Most of the chemical substances act by accumulation in the body and many interact with each other. Additives show their toxicity (some of them at least) in long term continuous consumption and accumulation, not necessarily on a one-day binge.

It is true, many of the additives are perfectly innocuous and some are even good nutritional substances.

But the major problem with e numbers is not what they designate but how they designate it. Be honest with yourself. Do you know what E 222 or E 951 means when you read it on a food label? THAT is the problem. Instead of informing us, those E numbers actually conceal the identity of the additive they designate. Why not write the word on the label so we can immediately understand?

If you would like to know what those numbers mean, don't look for an official publication. There is none that's easily accessible. But here is a list of numbers with corresponding names compiled by La Leva di Archimede: http://www.laleva.cc/food/enumbers/Enumbers.html


Low-frequency electronic “white noise” could eliminate biological effects of cell phone radiation
... the cell phone industry must have known for well over a decade exactly how to prevent most of the adverse health effects of cell phone radiation but did nothing about it.

It comes from the work of Theodore Litovitz, who discovered that by adding low-frequency electronic “white noise” over the top of the cell phone signal, most of the biological effects of the radiation that were known at the time could be reversed.

We now know how this may work at the molecular level. If you read my “Witness Statement” at http://tinyurl.com/34gvn29, you will see that most of the effects of the radiation can be attributed to the loss of calcium from cell membranes, which occurs only in very narrow “windows” of field strength, above and below which there is little or no effect. By adding a low-frequency "noise" signal with a random amplitude, very few cells stay within their windows for long enough to remove much calcium before they leave their respective windows, and the lost calcium floods back. Consequently, little or no permanent damage is done.

Just reducing the power will not give the same effect.


Vitamin D 'influences over 200 genes'
Scientists, including an Indian-origin researcher, claim to have achieved a major breakthrough by mapping the points at which vitamin D interacts with human DNA and identified over 200 genes that it directly influences.

The scientists found 2,776 binding sites for the vitamin D receptor along the length of the genome. These were unusually concentrated near a number of genes associated with susceptibility to autoimmune conditions like Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and even cancers.

It is estimated that one billion people worldwide do not have sufficient sunshine vitamin. This deficiency is due to insufficient exposure to sun and in some cases due to poor diet.


Flu jab linked to convulsions in kids under five
Up to one in 100 children given the jab, made in Australia by CSL and marketed in the UK by Pfizer, suffered febrile convulsions in the following hours and days.


USA: ‘Blue Flu’ cases spreading around Gulf
Some people are calling it the BP Flu. But it is commonly being called the Blue Flu, because the alleged symptoms include blue lips and skin; and it’s scaring the hell out of people all around the Gulf area –from Texas to Florida.


USA: New York State Orders Dr. to Stop Treating Patients for $79/month
... he charges his patients $79 per month plus $10 per visit. In other words, for about $1,000 per year, his patients do not have to worry about routine illnesses or anything else that can be taken care of in Dr. Muney's offices.

Who could possibly have a problem with that plan? Apparently, the New York state insurance regulators do. The state told Dr. Muney that his plan is an insurance policy and he has to be licensed to sell insurance.


GMO Crop Sabotage on the Rise: French citizens destroy trial vineyard
Early Sunday morning, French police stood helpless as sixty people, locked inside an open-air field of genetically modified grapevines, uprooted all the plants. In Spain last month, dozens of people destroyed two GMO fields. On the millennial cusp, Indian farmers burned Bt cotton in their Cremate Monsanto campaign.


Monsanto in Gates' Clothing? The Emperor's New GMOs
... if you are part of the growing population who gets their information about GMOs from scientists who are not beholden to corporate funding, has a problem with anti-trust issues, or is getting queasy about the increasing monopoly power of philanthropy capital... it's time to say the Emperor has no clothes.

Under the guise of "sustainability" the [Bill and Melinda Gates] Foundation has been spearheading a multi-billion dollar effort to transform African into a GMO-friendly continent.


Encephalitis kills 215 in India, toll expected to soar
At least 215 people, mostly children, have died in an outbreak of Japanese encephalitis in an impoverished region of northern Indian and the death toll is likely to soar, officials said Saturday.

V.S. Nigam, in charge of Uttar Pradesh's encephalitis prevention programme, said a mammoth project to contain the disease had ended with 35 million children vaccinated in the state's 34 districts.

But as soon children are vaccinated against Japanese encephalitis, they fall sick with acute encephalitis syndrome "because when one virus is suppressed by vaccines, others become dominant," he said.

Are we looking at the "side effects" of a widespread vaccination program here?


Video: Big Bucks, Big Pharma: Marketing Disease & Pushing Drugs
Big Bucks, Big Pharma pulls back the curtain on the multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical industry to expose the insidious ways that illness is used, manipulated, and in some instances created, for capital gain. Focusing on the industry’s marketing practices, media scholars and health professionals help viewers understand the ways in which direct-to-consumer (DTC) pharmaceutical advertising glamorizes and normalizes the use of prescription medication, and works in tandem with promotion to doctors.


Drugmakers Actually Make Lemons, Not Medicines?
According to his study, which is not yet published, independent reviewers found that about 85 percent of new drugs offer few if any new benefits. At the same time, though, prescription drugs are now a significant cause of death in the US due to toxic side effects or misuse. He notes that drugmakers spend “two to three times more on marketing than on research,” which are dollars used to persuade docs to prescribe new drugs. But the docs, he maintains, may get misleading info and then pass along the same info to patients. In his view, this is a “two-tier market” for lemons.


Review Of FDA Drug Trials Shows Antidepressants Useless
"In other words, if you're trying to look at sustained benefit, you're only looking at 2.7%, which is a pretty jaw-dropping number," added Dr. Pigott.


USA: Pediatric Drug Trials Benefit Pharma Not Children
A Duke University study published in the journal Pediatrics examined the effects of the Pediatric Exclusivity Provision of FDAMA (enacted in 1998). FDAMA provides six months of patent exclusivity to pharmaceutical companies to conduct safety and efficacy studies of drugs in children.

There is no evidence to indicate that children have been the beneficiaries of the Pediatric Exclusivity Provision of FDAMA (enacted in 1998): there is evidence that pharmaceutical companies have increased their profits from the legislation by at least $14 billion.


UK: Family win 18 year fight over MMR damage to son: £90,000 payout is first since concerns over vaccine surfaced
A mother whose son suffered severe brain damage after he was given the controversial MMR vaccine as a baby has been awarded £90,000 compensation.

The judgment is the first of its kind to be revealed since concerns were raised about the safety of the triple jab.

Robert Fletcher, 18, is unable to talk, stand unaided or feed himself.


Child Autism Epidemic Firmly Linked to Environment
Since the '70's, there has been a 60-fold increase in American children with autism. Currently one in every 100 U.S. children and one in every 58 boys are being diagnosed with autism. That's over 2.6 percent of all male children in America.

Experts agree that the primary explanation for the dramatic increase in autism is toxic environmental exposure and gene-environment interactions. New research shows that even low-dose, multiple toxic and infectious exposures may be a key factor to the onset of autism.


Just Say No To Drugs
My frustration at the Machiavellian turn that medicine had taken into the rabbit hole of drugs is why I wrote Death by Medicine in 2003. You can obtain that paper freely on the Internet. Two years later I expanded it into Death by Modern Medicine, now available as an eBook.

As I said, I don’t like to focus on the negative and this is the only one of my 20 books that sheds light on the sickening turn of medicine to the dark side. If you or your friends think that drug companies are looking out for YOUR best interests and want to see you healthy and off drugs, think again.


America’s mental illness epidemic: It turns out that the drugs are the problem
Tens of millions of innocent, unsuspecting Americans, who are mired deeply in the mental “health” system, have actually been made crazy by the use of or the withdrawal from commonly-prescribed, brain-altering, brain-disabling, indeed brain-damaging psychiatric drugs that have been, for many decades, cavalierly handed out like candy -- often in untested and therefore unapproved combinations of drugs -- to trusting and unaware patients by equally unaware but well-intentioned physicians who have been under the mesmerizing influence of slick and obscenely profitable psychopharmaceutical drug companies.


Anti-psychotic drugs double fatal pneumonia risk in elderly
A study of almost 2,000 patients found the increased risk starts soon after treatment begins and concluded that patients should be closely monitored.

An expert review published in 2009 found the drugs are overused in many cases and are responsible for up to 1,800 deaths in the UK every year.


Paxil-caused birth defects: Glaxo pays millions
While no amount of money can adequately compensate for a life-altering birth defect allegedly caused by or linked to the use of the antidepressant Paxil, the average settlement in a Paxil birth defect lawsuit appears to be in excess of $1.2 million for each family involved. The Newark Star-Ledger noted in July that Paxil manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline (Glaxo) has put aside $2.4 billion for the resolution of litigation involving Paxil and one other drug in Glaxo's product line.


AIDS Drugs Cause AIDS
AIDS drugs have “side effects” which are indistinguishable from “primary effects.” Death is among them. The process can be quick, but is usually slow, a degeneration of fat and protein assimilation and assembly in the body, the poisoning and death of the intestinal villi, ending absorption of nutrients. It can take time, with drugs at low doses.
The drugs kill yeasts and fungi, which can be a relief in the short-term for people suffering from debilitating candida. But quit the drugs, and the yeasts come back in force. Start the drugs, and you kill your own intestines.
