Dr. Mercola was speaking out again on the Kashi cereal brand using what appears to be soy GMO’s in their “Natural” cereal product.
This is why I stress matters of law in so much of my material, many people likely feeling there is no relationship between our health and fitness, and matters of law that people are grossly under-educated about in the western world.
The word “Natural” on a food label is not regulated. In other words, it can be used to mean whatever the company using the word wants it to mean.
And in a case like this, it’s all about using the word for marketing purposes, to deceive people into believing a product is something…that it clearly is not.
After all, MOST people would agree that a Genetically Modified Organism is anything BUT “natural.”
In fact, many people would likely feel that a GMO is the exact OPPOSITE of their definition of the word “natural.”
Likely 99% of consumers would agree with this stance.
But when people do not understand how words are used on labels…how labels are outlined to read a certain way, and even worse, how some ingredients can have more than one name (“aspartame” CAN be labeled as “natural flavor,” as disgusting a concept as that is) everyone falls victim to the producers of these products who line their pockets via their deceptions.
There’s an easy cure:
Support 100% organic foods.
They cannot have GMO ingredients in them, and there are even potentially higher standards than the organic label as I discuss in my program.
The more real, clean, healthy foods are supported, the more the demand, the more the prices come down, the more everyone lives healthy and happy lives.
Food not only sustains us, but can act as our medicine…or our poison.
