Many labels are seen on consumable items especially the ones
processed. Observing ‘Safety First’ entails that you check every consumables
you buy to know what you are about to consume whether the one that is taken
into the body or the one that is applied on the body.
Today we see many competitions on the market as regarding
the food items we consume especially processed ones as they try to impress
buyers that their products are made up of quality materials or ingredients.
I shall briefly take you on an in-depth tour on food labels
you as a buyer should look out on your item labels to ascertain the quality of
what you are about to purchase. This itemization you are about to read is
subject to in-depth study by you.
Anything You Can’t Pronounce; firstly before I mention some
names used in labeling I want to mention it to you that your first step to
discovering what you are buying is the ability of you to pronounce what is
written on the label. Anything you can’t pronounce when reading the labels on a
food items should be carefully scrutinized as you might get what your body do
not want or need as you take the consumable in or on your body without knowing
what the label says.
Monosodium Glutamate, MSG, this processed food additive was
first invented in 1908 by Japanese, Kikunae Ikeda. This is mostly found on
canned foods as it gives the canned food a fresh and nice smell. Related
adverse effects of MSG include burning sensations in the mouth, stomach upset,
headache and some allergic type of effects on the skin. It also leads to retina
defects. And this is noticed at approximately fifteen to twenty minutes after
its consumption. It could also be referred to as vegetable extract.
Natural and Artificial flavours, when natural or artificial
flavours are been mentioned in food labels, it should be observed careful what
flavor it is. The above mentioned part of a food label, talking about the MSG,
is a natural product and flavor from vegetable and proteinous food materials
and can also be produced artificially from these sources. Therefore care should
be taken to determine the flavor type or name.
Bleached Or White Wheat Flour, this is flour that has been
milled and whitened. During the processing, the enriched nutritional content of
the flour is been removed making this substance (white wheat) almost a sugar
material. During its processing as well the vitamin E content is gone. Ironic,
vitamin B, phosphorus and including calcium content of the rich food is been
lost as well. This substance causes diabetes in the human body. Therefore
needed to be avoided.
Soy Protein Isolate, this food content makes you older than
your age. How? “Former” supposed health values of soy include lowering of
cholesterol in the body and protect against heat, breast and prostate cancer.
This food ‘flavouring’ material as supposed is highly confused in the most
processed food labels such as the earlier discussed Natural and Artificial
flavours, textured plant protein. Other names can include mono-diglyceride,
soya, TSF, TSP or TVP, Lecithin or even the earlier discussed MSG. Thank God
now you know! But understand that not all TVPs or TSF/P is of SOY MADE.
Genetically Modified soy beans can cause hormonal imbalance
on unborn children and can cause miscarriages on pregnant mothers. It has been
said by them of old TAKE, EAT, now Alphasoars
Healthcheck is saying AVOID.
Your Health is actually your Wealth, therefore on Alphasoars Healthcheck we seek
to let you know the necessary steps to preserve your Health.
