Gah! It's scary to actually research, and know what is in our food. It's kind of like taking a good look at the germs/bacteria thats on everything we touch daily. We can wash our hand throughout the day, and use germacides, but that won't stop someone elses nastiness from getting on us somehow. With the germs, I think "what doesn't kill me, only makes me stronger." I know we can't do this with food, though, because some stuff stay's, and builds up in our bodies. Nightgaunt and I just got over some hellatious food poisoning. If I would have actually seen the microorganism that did that to us, I would probably have wanted to rip my gut out. Like some other people on here, I also get migraines. Bad ones. They started in my early 20's, and no one can tell me why. With the food I've eaten, it could have been anything that did it to me. My number one culprit, however, is diet pop. I used to drink buckets of it when I was younger. I've since learned the horrors of aspertame :( Can't say that it's what did it, but its number one on my list. Before she threw her life away, my JenJen was very much into taking care of her body. She would research everything she ate, and buy "organics" whenever she could. I swear she also had a poop fetish (That's right Jen, your secrets out! lol ) because she would always talk to me about colonics, and fasting, and cleaning ones system out. She would show me pictures of what comes out of ones body that has supposedly been there for years. It's disgusting!! Unfortunately, poor people typically can't afford the more expensive "organic" foods, and do those extra things we need to do to keep our systems clean. Poor people get the shitty food, with the nasty chemicals building up and wreaking havoc on our bodies and minds. I should pay more attention, but I don't. Like everyone else, there are other things coming first on my lists of things to do, and pay attention to. Its kind of sad when even vomiting and diarrhea from food poisoning won't set ya straight, but I'm just being honest.
