Emergency Health Awareness Alert

Many people don’t investigate what’s really in the products they swallow. When something is sold as an herb, vitamin, superfood or supplement, they think it’s automatically safe. And while the natural products industry has a truly remarkable safety record—especially in contrast to the massive number of deaths caused by pharmaceuticals—it still suffers from a lot of hidden toxins that are routinely used throughout the industry.

After reviewing this list, you will probably throw out quite a few products in your refrigerator and pantry. Few people are willing to tell you the truth revealed here, so some of this may come as a complete shock (see #1 and #2, below).

1) Maltodextrin (from GM corn)
If you pick up a natural product and the ingredients list says “maltodextrin,” chances are very high that the maltodextrin in the product is derived from Monsanto’s GM corn.
Virtually all the maltodextrin used throughout the natural products industry is genetically modified. Products that are certified USDA organic, however, are not using GMO maltodextrin. Look for tapioca maltodextrin instead (or no maltodextrin at all).
2) Vitamin C “ascorbic acid” (from GM corn)
Nearly all the “vitamin C” sold in vitamins across America right now is derived from GMO corn.
This means that many of the supplements sold at Whole Foods, the vitamins sold on Amazon.com, the pills at your local pharmacy, and especially the products at the grocery store are (nearly) all routinely made with genetically modified vitamin C. It’s typically called “ascorbic acid,” and nearly 100% of the ascorbic acid used in the natural products industry is derived from GMOs.
3) Hexane-extracted soy proteins
Much of the “natural” soy proteins sold in the USA are extracted in China using a hexane extraction method.
Hexane is a highly explosive chemical. It is not only extremely hazardous to the environment; there may also be trace amounts of hexane left remaining in the resulting protein products. Hexane extraction, by the way, is also used in the manufacture of textured vegetable protein (TVP).
