Sometimes when I'm shopping, I wonder what products should I avoid buying/using?
So, I figured this is the best place to ask this question and we could get a list going.
I could edit this post making a list of the products everyone posts in comments. Are there any suggestions on a better way to do this?
What if I did another post to make a list of all the GOOD products that are safe/ beneficial for us to use?
Maybe a better list is one of products that are safe, the other one is sooo long.
Accurate username. I’m sad about that statement as well.
And that post should be stickied and pinned.
Not to mention that the list of products to avoid should be pinned as well.
No "bioengineered" or "bio-enhanced"
Tom's toothpaste is good for no fluoride in their product.
Only using natural products with no artificial ingredients automatically cuts out a lot of garbage.
So does eating meat only.
I guess it would. Ever tried it? How did it go?
Have been a dirty carnivore fir three years. This means also allowing eggs, yoghurt etc. But no carbs.
It's cured my arthritis, gum flare-ups, sleep apnoea and nightmares. Hair is growing strong and long, and fingernails also. Family tell me my skin looks really good too.
That is awesome. I went off carbs too for a while to try resetting my health some years ago and it worked. No more migraines. I was able to gradually reintroduce them without too much trouble.
Did your gut have to adjust? I heard the first couple weeks can be rough.
It was a relief TBH.
Avoid products containing HEK 293

avoid High Fructose Corn Syrup, minimal pasta/breads
I don’t think pasta bread is good advise for young people who are very active. I think children should be including these, their metabolic function is very young and do not need any restriction. Especially not for active ones. I was very active when I was young, never put on any weight and ate everything and anything. It’s only now that I’m older I’m having to employ strategies as my metabolic function changes, which is perfectly normal as time goes on and we all get older.
You are living up to your username! Well done. 👍
Thank you fren
I don’t disagree with your point but I wonder if the effects that come later are due to natural aging process or the years of eating pasta during youth?
I’d say natural ageing process. But then again, going back to my concept of what’s natural can’t be bad for you, in moderation of course, it could definitely be a factor and shouldn’t be discounted.
Or perhaps it has to do with the change in the milling process with the advent of industrialization. The bread and pasta our ancestors ate possibly could be very different from our modern day versions. Couldn’t find anything scientific to verify my hypothesis but I did walk down an interesting rabbit hole of milling history

And now I know why it’s called flour.
Definitely. There are still primitive communities that I’m sure, still use the old way. Plus, whatever additives that are added now, both natural and unnatural, and plastics used to store them. Thank you for sharing that link, saved for reading.
I’m keen to learn. One thing I’ll put down that people should avoid, because it’s a ducking scam, is any “low fat” foods. The low fat programming needs to end. What destroys people’s health is excess. Want to be healthier, here it is in its simplest form:
Eat less, move more. That’s it.
I am a healthy and fit 40 something who has been training for over twenty years. I spend my time outdoors as much as I can on my MTB, and spend approximately 10 hours a week weightlifting. I cook all my foods, and eat all kinds of cuts of meat.
Essentially avoid anything that is processed and packaged. There are only 10 companies that pretty much own everything sold in the grocery store, including organics. Check out the chart here: https://www.good.is/money/food-brands-owners
Everyone I know over 40 has thyroid issues.
I think it must be environmental. Seems to be an epidemic.
Lots of products are bad for the thyroid.
We have switched to”clean” products.
Dr. David Brownstein Iodine book, free download. Potassium Iodine supplements fixes all thyroid issues and book explains why: https://dk1lib.org/book/2619347/f06529
TDLR: Our food has been “nutrient stripped” of REAL salt.
There is another approach to healthy eating which you might want to explore. It's called intermittent fasting. Details here -> https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/intermittent-fasting-what-is-it-and-how-does-it-work
I discovered this by accident about 10 years ago while living on my own and going through a nasty divorce. In order to make my life easier, I decided to eat the same diet every day at the same time. Minimal carbs. Eggs for breakfast. Modest lunch. No junk food. Chicken stir-fry with no rice and lots of veggies for dinner. No late-night snacks. I also started jogging in the evenings. Within a month, I started losing excess weight at a blistering pace. Not long afterwards, my weight had dropped from 240 to 170 and I was healthier and more fit than ever. I initially thought it was my running, but then I learned about intermittent fasting from a friend who went from 300 lbs to 180 lbs using this method. When I questioned him about whether fasting was healthy, he provided me with a reference. It was then that I realized that I had independently discovered intermittent fasting. I hope this is helpful.

Avoid polyunsaturated fats common in soybean, sunflower, safflower, vegetable and corn oils. Peanut and canola oils are more moderate but should still be avoided.
Saturated fats have been demonized but our bodies actually make saturated fat when we eat excess calories. If it was so harmful would our own bodies make it? We can also convert saturated fat to monounsaturated fats as need via the SCD1 enzyme. We also have a mechanism to create polyunsaturated fats (called mead acid) but that is very rare. Humans only require a trace of poly fats, not the high percentages present in modern industrial foods.
Why avoid poly fats? Our bodied builds cells, cell membranes and organelles with whatever fats are available. Normally that is saturated fats we make ourselves from extra calories or from meat and dairy.
Saturated fats are simple, straight carbon chains with zero double bonds. They don't oxidize or rancidify. They don't break down into toxic byproducts like poly fats do, especially linoleic acid which becomes the toxic 4HNE,9HOD, 13HOD etc.
If your body is built from years of consuming fragile polyunsaturated fats you cells will be nowhere near as robust as if they were made from saturated or monounsaturated fats. Even something as simple as sunburn does not occur in any severity if you abstain from poly fats for a year or two.
If you become more resilient to something like sunburn then what other ailments or sickness could be prevented?
Was the high usage of fragile poly fats introduced into the mass food supply with the intention of making the population weak or sick? I believe so.

How about this for a list of companies to avoid?
And you'll get updates! 😂
Here's another libtard site that effectively tells us where to shop by using them as opposition research.

Included with that list is CVS and Bank of America though that My Pilliow guy is also included.
If it has more than 3 ingredients, then no
Questions I ask myself:
What's in it? Read the ingredients, and aim for simple recognizable ingredients. A short list is usually better.
Are you supporting your neighbours or a mega-corp with the purchase?
Exactly
