5. Canola Oil
This oil is found in hundreds of processed foods and is sometimes listed as vegetable oil or rapeseed oil. Canola oil will steal antioxidants and vitamin E from the foods you eat. By cross-breeding multiple types of rapeseed plants in the 1970’s, Big Food was able to produce an odorless oil they renamed as Canola. In 1995, Monsanto created a GMO version of this oil. Don’t be fooled by labels claiming that canola oil is “organic;” it is a 100 percent GMO product.
Although they might have grown these plants without pesticides, but they are still 100 percent GMO. Canola oil causes inflammation in the body, which is the base cause of many diseases including OCD, Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia, and arthritis. Long term consumption of canola oil has been linked with the development of heart lesions, lung cancer, anemia, prostate cancer, and CNS degenerative disorder.
6. Processed Sugar
Sugar goes by so many names, it’s difficult to list them all, but they include malt syrup, raw sugar, sucrose, glucose, fruit juice concentrate, evaporated cane juice, crystalline fructose, dextrose, lactose, and maltose, just to name a few. Sugar is found in almost everything, including ketchup, salad dressing, sodas, frozen fruits and vegetables with sauces or marinades, soup, and the usual cakes and candy. Sugar steals calcium, magnesium, and vitamin C from the body, while feeding cancer cells.
Sugar and vitamin C use the same pathways to enter cells, so they are in a sort of competition with each other. The body naturally absorbs only a limited amount of fructose. When we consume more than a small amount, the intestines reject it, and this sugar ends up feeding gut bacteria, leading to overgrowth. This overgrowth of bacteria feeds on the nutrients that are meant for our body. This can lead to weak bones, insomnia, chronic inflammation, and a weakened immune system.
