Three 'Healthy Foods' You Should Avoid Eating

By Jordan Miller;

As our consciousness continues to evolve it is only natural that we learn and appreciate new things. In this current system of governance however, most people tend to listen to authority or specialists to make decisions for them. On the other hand, there is an ever growing number of people awakening to find that the answers have always been known to them through intuition. Many people are looking to the outside world for a generic answer. The problem with this type of reasoning is that we get caught up in the idea that there is a set of criteria that should be applied to all. This is not only misleading, but it is wrong on all accounts because we are all biochemically different, and thus we require different nutrients to fuel our bodily processes. With information coming at us from several different sources (mainstream media, the food pyramid, and countless other websites, including our own), it is sometimes overwhelming. It takes research and personal experience to figure out what works best for you! Considering this premise, there are foods that are often marketed as healthy, but in fact they are not. In an effort to help you filter through some of the misinformation, we have listed below some of these foods.

 
3 ‘Healthy Foods’ You Should Avoid
 
1. Soy: Soy milk and tofu are considered by many to be a healthy protein alternative to meat and dairy. In our experience and research we actually believe soy (in its non-fermented form) is no better than the quality of most factory farmed meats. Essentially, most of the soy products sold on the market today are extracts or derivatives from genetically modified soy crops. Nearly 90% of all soy crops in the USA and in many parts of the world are genetically modified. Since we are now producing so much of this monoculture (like GMO corn) which  is primarily used for biofuel, it is easy for companies to use the remaining crop in our food to make a little extra profit – indeed a sad reality. Several studies are now linking premature death and many forms of cancer to its ingestion. Many of us in the western world are under the impression that products such as soy milk, tofu, and soy protein isolates and extracts are good for us. This can’t be further from the truth; it’s merely a powerful marketing strategy by companies to get you to eat more soy in an effort for them to make a good return. Hundreds if not thousands of clinical and laboratory studies are now linking soy to a variety of different illnesses, including: malnutrition, digestive distress, thyroid dysfunction, cognitive decline, reproductive disorders, infertility, birth defects, immune system breakdown, heart disease and cancer. If you are looking to consume soy, always do so in small quantities, and make sure the product is fermented (i.e. tempeh, miso, natto – as this will ensure that the phytic acid is broken) and organic.

2. Fruit Juice: There are some common misconception about fruit juice these days. People actually believe that juice products we buy in grocery stores are actually good for us; probably because of the fact that the same companies that have always sold the product are now promoting juice as a healthier alternative – given that pop is now getting a bad rap. The truth is, commercial fruit juice is far from healthy; in fact, it can be considered just as unhealthy as some pop/soda. You see, most conventional store bought juices are loaded with sugar. Through the process of juicing, the fruit is striped form its natural fibres, then it is heated to kill any potential pathogens, and most times chemically derived sugars are then added to the mix, creating a product that is 90-95% sugar. When juice is consumed, the body instantly converts it into sugar, thereby throwing one’s blood sugar out of balance, and if consumed overtime, can lead to obesity and type II diabetes. If you get a hankering for juice, always ensure to drink juice that has been fresh squeezed, and keep your consumption to a minimum, as whole made juice is also loaded with sugar. Alternatively, always drink water when possible.
