Mummy Jane was a very lively woman in my neighborhood, very social but kind in heart, it's hard for you to get people saying good things about someone when you first move to a new neighborhood as I understand jealousy and some other characteristics make people that way, but that wasn't the case of Mummy Jane as she was fondly called, you might think her child bears the name Jane, no, it is her neighbor child whom she took care of and even sponsored to school when she was childless after many years of marriage before she was finally blessed with her child, but the name mummy Jane stuck. Everyone had a good testimony about mummy Jane, she was a nurse and a philanthropist, not that she was very rich, but she never failed to care for someone in need, even to her last dime.

Last year, that light was quenched in my neighborhood, and the whole community felt the pitch darkness, mummy Jane left this world in the most devastating way "Breast cancer" how? When? When? Those were the questions that filled everyone's mouth and heart, she died after battling breast cancer for some years, and it pains my heart to write about this, I was so shocked and sadness stricken when I heard about her passing, so I googled the cause and asked around from a doctor friend, and on that list of causative is 'Food Preservative' the silent killer.
Ever wondered how our ancestors lived a long and healthy life without all these autoimmune diseases and sicknesses that ate in wide widespread today, that's because they were their own farmers, and ate healthy food directly from their farms or gardens, without any form of preservative, but today, the reverse is the case, these preservatives are used to maintain the freshness and shelf life of food, meat and fruits and they contain harmful compounds which reacts in our body to form carcinogenic substance. I watched one video recently where frozen chicken imported into our country were being injected with a chemical used for preserving dead bodies, I grimaced at the number of frozen chickens I've bought and eaten my whole life because we want fast food these days, we put our health in dangers, and at the apex if some peoples dream, they get cut off untimely.
If only the world can go back to its old ways of eating directly from the source of nature, or stick to natural preservatives instead of the artificial ones causing harm to our health, we've lost our loved ones enough due to our unhealthy preserved fast food. So there it is, Food Preservative is that one thing the world has showed a blind eyes to while it keeps wiping us gradually. Help yourself too, make sure to wash fruits you buy from the market thoroughly before consuming them, cultivate a garden in your home no matter how small, stay away from fast food as much as possible, and let us all lead a healthy lifestyle.
