Exposing the Reality Behind Supermarket Sliced Bread

Exposing the Reality Behind Supermarket Sliced Bread

We purchased this bread on Jan. 16 to feed the fish in the canal. We tossed it on the table outside and after a week we noticed it was still soft and no mold. That’s when Jason and I decided to do a little science experiment lol

Today is March 18, so 63 days still soft and without mold. So what does this mean? First of all, its not made for human consumption LMAO

Seriously though let’s dive into what we are actually putting into our body by buying supermarket bread. 

Exposing the Reality Behind Supermarket Sliced Bread

In a televised advertisement in Spain, a celebrity showcases sliced bread, boasting its ability to remain fresh from the first slice to the last. Sounds appealing, right? No more dealing with stale slices after a couple of days – pure convenience!

But hold on a moment. Shouldn't we be questioning the unnatural longevity of supermarket bread? If it stays fresh for unusually extended periods, doesn't that raise some concerns?

Let's delve into the composition of the bread lining our supermarket shelves. By examining the facts, you can decide for yourself whether sliced bread is a breakfast staple or a choice better left to the birds (or fish in our neighborhood).

Chemical Manipulation and Nutrient Depletion

Contrary to what one might assume, the whiteness of white bread isn't a natural attribute of the flour. It's achieved through chemical bleaching, resulting in a brighter, more appealing shade. However, this process comes at a cost – the destruction of essential vitamins and the residue of toxic chlorinated hydrocarbons and dioxins.

The Paradox of Enrichment: Stripping Away the Goodness

During the refinement process, which converts grain into refined white flour, over 30 vital nutrients are stripped away. These include significant percentages of Vitamin E, Folic acid, Biotin, Vitamin B6, and numerous minerals and trace elements.

Synthetic Enrichments: A Dubious Solution

To compensate for the lost nutrients, synthetic additives such as vitamins B1, B2, B3, and iron are introduced. However, this isn't a mere restoration of what was removed; it's an addition of substances not naturally present in the flour.

A Blend of Chemical Additives

The list of additives doesn't end there. Flour "improvers," dough conditioners, and preservatives are added to enhance shelf life. This includes a dizzying array of substances like E150 (a-d) Caramel, E481, E472e, E920, E282, E220, E261, and more, all aimed at prolonging freshness.

Hidden Processing Aids

Beyond what's listed on labels, additional chemicals categorized as "processing aids" are utilized. These include enzymes like Phospholipase A2, Fungal a-amylase, L-cysteine, to name a few, each serving specific purposes but potentially sourced from questionable origins.

The Labeling Deception

Much of what is labeled as "whole-wheat bread" may not actually be whole-wheat. Instead, it's often refined white bread with added brown coloring, listed as caramel. Despite the misleading labeling, the product may lack the essential components of true whole wheat.

In conclusion, the truth about supermarket sliced bread reveals a concoction of chemical manipulation, nutrient depletion, and deceptive labeling practices. Whether it's a wise choice for your breakfast table is a decision definitely worth scrutinizing.

Truths

Truths:

1. Regular doctors save lives but can't be trusted to keep/get you healthy: 

While traditional medical professionals are adept at treating acute illnesses and emergencies, their approach often focuses on symptom management rather than addressing the root cause of health issues. This can lead to a reliance on pharmaceuticals that may have side effects and fail to address underlying imbalances. Seeking holistic healthcare practitioners who prioritize preventative measures and lifestyle changes can be essential for achieving long-term health and wellness.

2. Your words are magical. They call it spelling for a reason. Careful what your self-talk is: 

The words we speak and the thoughts we harbor have a profound impact on our mental, emotional, and physical well-being. The concept of "spelling" suggests that our words have the power to cast spells, influencing our reality. Therefore, maintaining positive self-talk and affirmations can help cultivate a healthy mindset and attract positive experiences into our lives.

3. You have to feel it to heal it. You can't just spiritual bypass every negative feeling: Ignoring or suppressing negative emotions can lead to unresolved emotional trauma and hinder personal growth. True healing often involves acknowledging and processing difficult emotions in order to release them. Spiritual bypassing, which involves using spiritual beliefs or practices to avoid facing emotional pain, ultimately impedes genuine healing and self-awareness.

4. Water holds onto energetic memory. Our body is 70% water: The concept of water retaining energetic memory suggests that water molecules can be influenced by the energetic imprints of substances or emotions they come into contact with. Given that the human body is predominantly composed of water, the quality of the water we consume and expose ourselves to can significantly impact our overall health and well-being.

5. You have to be weird/different/unique/strange/special/abnormal to be healthy. Normal/average is no longer healthy in any kind of way: 

Embracing individuality and prioritizing personalized health approaches over societal norms is crucial in achieving optimal wellness. What works for one person may not work for another, and striving to fit into conventional standards of "normalcy" can often compromise health and happiness.

6. Tap water is full of carcinogens and heavy metals that make most people sick and lower their IQ: 

Many municipal water supplies contain contaminants such as chlorine, fluoride, lead, and pesticides, which have been linked to adverse health effects ranging from cancer to cognitive impairment. Investing in water filtration systems or opting for purified water can help mitigate these risks and safeguard health.

7. Conventional food messes up your hormones, gut, mental health, and also lowers your IQ. If we fix the soil and farming, we fix the food, which fixes our health: 

The modern industrial food system prioritizes convenience and profit over nutritional quality, resulting in the widespread consumption of processed foods laden with artificial additives, pesticides, and genetically modified organisms. These dietary practices contribute to hormone imbalances, gut dysbiosis, mental health issues, and cognitive decline. Transitioning to organic, regeneratively farmed foods can promote both environmental sustainability and personal health.

8. If you do what your pediatrician says, your kid is more likely to stay alive and more likely to be physically and mentally unwell and on medications before the end of college: 

While pediatricians play a vital role in monitoring children's growth and development, relying solely on conventional medical advice may overlook holistic approaches to pediatric health. Overemphasis on pharmaceutical interventions and vaccinations without addressing dietary and lifestyle factors can contribute to chronic health issues in children.

9. Alternative medicine is not alternative. It is the true, ancient, real, healing medicine. Modern medicine is the alternative to natural healing and has disastrous consequences: 

Traditional healing modalities such as herbal medicine, acupuncture, and Ayurveda have been practiced for thousands of years and offer holistic approaches to health and wellness. In contrast, modern medicine often prioritizes symptom management and invasive procedures over addressing the root cause of illness, leading to overmedication and iatrogenic harm.

10. America spends the most on "healthcare" and has the worst outcomes. Spending money does not equate to health: 

The exorbitant cost of healthcare in the United States does not necessarily translate to improved health outcomes. A disproportionate focus on treating symptoms rather than preventing disease, coupled with profit-driven healthcare models, perpetuates a cycle of escalating costs and suboptimal health outcomes. Redirecting resources towards preventative care, lifestyle interventions, and addressing social determinants of health is essential for achieving true healthcare reform and improving public health.
