Today, you can hardly find a packaged food with what-so-called “certified organic” on the shelf that does not contain this ingredient - “natural flavors” or “natural flavoring”, including organic milk beverages, organic soups, and your favorite organic protein bars, such as organic almond milk, rice milk, coconut milk, etc., you name it. Do you know there are lots of chemicals and GMO foods in these what-so-called “natural flavors” including MSG? In reality, we are smelling and eating chemicals: methyl cyclopentenolone, diacetyl, methyl methoxy pyrazine, and benzaldehyde are all common ingredients found in natural flavors. Even though these fruit-like flavors are created in a lab, they are still considered “natural” on a label, flavorists are working diligently to identify the current flavor trends and create the next big trendy flavor. To me, “natural flavors” are a brew of toxic chemicals. Do you know that MSG is a neuron toxin that damages the neurotransmitters and neurons in your brain and contributes to dementia and other mental health issues? Next time when you shop around, I invite you to read the ingredients carefully. You will be shocked how many toxic chemicals are stuffed in a little package.
So many people are worried about the chemicals in the food these days, which is a good thing, but only a few people are concerned about the chemicals they put on their bodies, one example is the deodorants that many people are using. Have you paid attention to the ingredients on the label? It is not a surprise that it is loaded with toxic petrochemicals. When you walk outside with people around, and even you are walking on your favorite beach to get some fresh air, all you can smell is perfumes and chemicals, people are polluting the fresh air with perfumes and deodorants on their bodies. But we go to nature with the intention to get some fresh air instead of polluted toxic air. What about this? People who work in the grocery stores carefully shower their shopping carts with toxic chemicals with the good intention to kill the germs and viruses, and you put your organic food items in those shopping cars, which is similar to spraying pesticides and toxic chemicals back on your food. What about toxic chemicals in the hand sanitizers that people are abusing these days before they touch the fresh produce in the stores? They unconsciously contaminate all the food they touched. Let alone the toxic chemicals in the detergents that housekeepers are pouring on the floor to kill what??? The toxic chemicals in the detergents are evaporating in the air and we inhale them, which travel to the canals of our brain through the nasal passage and damage the neurons and brain cells. The nose is the direct line from the environment to the brain, which means pollutants, viruses, and bacteria can travel through the nasal passage to set the wheels of brain disease in motion. There is a neural connection between the nasal mucosa and the brain, which tells us that what we inhale has direct access to our brain and the rest of our nervous system. Therefore, we should pay attention to what toxins we allow ourselves to be exposed to, especially what we breathe in. Let’s move to the deodorants, they travel into women’s breast tissues and increase the risk of breast cancers because the lymph nodes in our armpits are linked to our breast glands, and you may not aware that your breast glands are a network of lymph ducts. These toxic chemicals are contributing to cysts and tumors in the breast tissues and hormone imbalance. The same as air fresheners, and fabric softeners…, they are silently shortening our lifespan without our awareness.
According to TCM, what is going on in the lungs also affects our gut health. Did anyone notice why so many people are suffering from leaking gut syndrome and food sensitivities these days? What about the skin issues? The skin is linked to the lungs according to TCM, have you ever wondered what are the root causes of eczema and psoriasis? The fact is that they are all connected to what we inhale and what we put on our skin because our skin is the largest organ and it sends these toxic chemicals directly to our bloodstream.
What we breathe in is the vital life force to sustain our health, and the quality of the air we breathe in is just as important as the food we eat. Until we are all aware of these silent killers and stop abusing these toxic chemicals, we can all have fresh air to breathe and improve our health and quality of life in the long run. Everyone can contribute to this global shift for a better environment and a better world, the only secret is awareness. What do you think?
