April Fool’s Joke, I Wish

This is no joke, unfortunately, but I wish it was. For months now I have faithfully been making my spousal unit a glass of vitamin packed juice every morning with a vitamin packed powder from a company called Ola Loa recommended by Mike Adams the self declared “Health Ranger”. My reasoning was that a glass of drinkable vitamins was better for him than the pasteurized glass of orange juice he had had for breakfast for decades as that has no beneficial properties. After all, drinking a glass of pasteurized orange juice, or any pasteurized juice, is no better than drinking a glass filled with water topped off with several tablespoons of sugar. Pasteurization of anything kills all the natural enzymes and vitamins and pasteurized juice is basically just a useless sludge. When I read Mike Adam’s interview with the owner/founder of Ola Loa I was convinced this product was far superior and it has been served most mornings since that time.

Fast forward to this morning when I tuned in to http://www.msgmyth.com to check on something a friend had mentioned to me recently regarding gelatin and its excitotoxin properties. As I perused the list of names that “they”  use to disguise the use of MSG in food, aspartame was listed along with l-cysteine an amino acid. When I saw aspartame mentioned I had one of those infamous light bulb moments, the SU’s vitamin packed Energy drink listed aspartic acid as an ingredient. Aspartic acid is just another name for aspartame, which may or may not be just another name for the excitotoxin MSG but it has the same affect on the body. Here I am the queen of healthy eating, the spokesperson of the anti-artificial sweetener campaign feeding my unsuspecting SU a drink with aspartame in it every morning without giving it a thought.

No wonder they called it “Energy”! Excitotoxins fill one with a false energy that eventually can reveal itself in unexplained migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, heart palpitations but initially energy is its by product. The question I now have is why would Mike Adams the self declared “health ranger”, the man who purports to be looking out for us uninformed consumers, ever recommend these vitamins as the best on the market? At the very least perhaps he could read the list of ingredients in all the Ola Loa drinkable vitamins and recommend only those that don’t have aspartame such as the “Kid’s” packets or the “Repair” packets and tell his readers to avoid the “Energy” and “Sport’s” variety(“Energy” has aspartame and some “Sport’s” packets have maltodextrin another excitotoxin) but other varieties of Ola Loa drinkable vitamins are filler free and excitotoxin free and thus safe to drink.

Again and again (and you think I would learn) I am reminded of the slogan “Buyer Beware”. If you feel strongly about the healthiness of the food you eat, READ THE INGREDIENTS of every morsel that goes in to your mouth and before you read the ingredients go to http://www.msgmyth.com or read Russ Blaylock’s Excitotoxins:The Taste That Kills and educate yourself on the hazards of consuming MSG and how manufacturers have disguised MSG in many products you unknowingly consume. “Buyer Beware” and that isn’t a joke.
