Chicken McPoison & Other Food Prostitution
CHICKEN McPOISION & OTHER FOOD PROSTITUTION Earlier, I wrote on the ubiquitous presence of monosodium glutamate in fast foods. MSG is unequivocally bad news for the brain. Now, we learn that McDonald's uses an artificial petroleum-based ''antioxidant'', tertiary butylhydroubiquinone (TBHQ) on chicken McNuggets and probably on its hamburgers.

Fruits – Nectars of the Gods
FRUITS – NECTARS OF THE GODS Fruits may be even more plentiful than vegetables, are generally sweeter and loaded with antioxidants.
