Have you ever wondered, why the hell producers can write 'source of calcium' on milk? Well, if you are less educated, you will probably be surprised, it is not source of calcium. It contains it, but extreme amount of phosphorus blocks the absorption of calcium and even can lead to loss of calcium from bones. Two mass independent studies measured that per one glass of milk a day, your risk of bone diseases later in life increases by 7%.
Let's move to an example, which can be understood only through logic with no need of scientific evidence. Extruded cereals like these from Nestle mark their packets with list of vitamins and a sentence telling you that this product is healthy translated into 8 languages.
The process of extrudation, which is heating and under high pressure, destroys most of what the food previously was. Then, they add some of the vitamins back. So we have a blend of unnatural disaster and manufactured vitamins. The basic mass is the extruded product - can it be healthy if it lacks almost all, which nature gave it?
A Secret
Yeah, but we like hearing that unhealthy food we eat is healthy. If you are not convinced by the facts above, re-read the label. It contains sugar. Our ancestors had no such excessive amount of sugar in their diets. Nor any animal. Only humans.
In fact, an average American eats the amount of sugar equal to size of small giraffe. Which brings us to a second problem. Fluoridating water with industrial rubbish has never been proven benefical. Except to Nazi empire, of course. Who claims the price? The companies selling the rubbish to the country. Same for extruded cereals, which use lies to grab money.
Science speaks, the layer of fluoride is 10 times thinner than we thought, so you don't even need the fluoride in toothpaste. I am glad for living in Europe, where fluoridation is not allowed.
Double Edge Sword - Both Edges Are Aimed Against Us
Do you like being healthy? Health industry does not like you being healthy. A healthy man brings no money to medical industry. Neither does the dead man.
So once the crap food makes you ill, another rich business comes to offer you aid. They offer pills with promise of curing you. Whoever offers anything wants something in return according to Machiavelli, the man who became an example for many politicians. And he's right.
First, they want your money. Second, they want you to stay ill, so you carry on bringing them profit. Some side effects are mostly desired, so you will need another set of pills countering the side effects, but having other side effects. You may end up taking 20 pills a day, which is 20 more pills, than our ancestors used to take.
Sharping The Weapons
One of already mentioned companies owns both edges. Some of the cosmetic brands belong to Nestle. Their extruded cereals with high glycemic index will bring you acne. You will need cosmetics to cover it up and to give you a hope for complete cure.
Acne is the reason I became interested in nutrition and later politics too. I was just surprised, why all official websites barefacedly lie acne is not caused by improper nutrition. And other websites, which could be called fake news nowadays, were speaking the truth about undeniable correlation between acne state and nutrition.
For some companies, it just worths to invest in well-looking websites telling you lies. BTW Nestle wants to privatize water, they don't consider it to be human right.
Junk food is not the only reason, why people have acne, despite its almost non-existence in previous centuries. But it is major influencer.
Is There a Way for Capitalism to Support Progress
In state owned companies, there is lack of motivation. In private companies, there is lack of control. Good laws could be made. But my opinion is that we have to make such companies, which benefit from our sorrow, partly owned by a country.
For food companies, laws are certainly a way to go. Saying something in huge conflict with current science should be judges as a fraud.
For medical companies, I believe a country should have at least 30% holding. This should be enought to keep an eye on development.
It Isn't Only Medical Industry
Unfortunately, capitalism is like tumour in more areas than discussed above. Ecology of nature is not respected at all. Arms factories benefit from even worse circumstances than the illness is. For them, it is killing people what makes money. Were all US-lead wars really benefical to the world, liberty and democracy, or did only weaponcrafts get their money?
Let me know in the comments if you have any progressive ideas, so if I get into politics later, I will have them.
Thank you for reading!
