Packaged and processed foods get many a family through the day. They're convenient, portable, and they stay fresh for a long time (thanks to all those preservatives). Many kids can't get enough of these foods; they're almost addicted to them. The additives put into processed foods to make them look and taste better include unhealthy amounts of extra salt, fat, and sugar-and those are the ones you can pronounce. These additives, however, have a price that may include side effects, food allergies, increased waist lines, decreased absorption of minerals and vitamins, cancer and more. Today, when one in three American children are overweight or obese (and even more than one in three adults) and food allergies are rampant, we have no choice but to finally pay attention to what we are eating. Today we discuss the last 6 of the 'Dirty Dozen' including Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) and Caffeine . Each week Martin Pytela and Scott Paton discuss Holistic principles for healthy living.
