Our Kids Health vs Big Business and Corporate Greed. Does our ignorance play a part in this?

Article written and provided by Dr Marcus Edinger  www.advancedhealing.com 

Why do Walmart, Kraft and Coke Cola send Europe, pure, unadulterated versions of their food products and we get the versions that contain genetically modified ingredients, dyes, flavor enhancers and preservatives?

• Why did allergy to peanuts double from 1997 to 2002?
• Why do 1 in 17 children under the age of three have a food allergy.
• Why has there been a 256% increase in the rate of hospitalizations (doctors admitting patients not parents) related to food allergies.
• The fact is, that in 2008, Kraft removed artificial colorings, like yellow #5, and chemical sweeteners, like aspartame, from the products that they distribute in Europe, Australia, and other developed countries due to consumer concern over scientific studies that link these synthetic ingredients to hyperactivity and asthma in children. But, they haven't done the same thing here in the U.S.!

Robyn O’Brien shares her personal story and how it inspired her current path as a "Real Food" evangelist. Grounded in a successful Wall Street career that was more interested in food as good business than good-for-you, this mother of four was shaken awake by the dangerous allergic reaction of one of her children to a "typical" breakfast. Her mission to unearth the cause revealed more about the food industry than she could stomach, and impelled her to share her findings with others.
