Who Knew? Foods can put your health in harms way

April 29th, 2009

Who Knew? foods can put your health in harms way:

Chocolate

Who can resist chocolate? Like it your not,

Chocolate is made with cocoa beans and cocoa beans contain a chemical called Theobromine, which is toxic to you. So on Valentine’s Day, you’re actually being kind to your best buddy if you eat all the chocolates yourself!

Read my special report on chocolate at http://www.healthy-nation.net/ chocolate to learn more, and see how different types of chocolate have varying effects on your health.

Fatty foods

Fatty foods are hard for you to digest and can can overtax the pancreas, leading to pancreatitis. This can threaten your health and is potentially fatal.

Nuts

Macadamia nuts should be avoided. In fact most nuts are not good for your health since their high phosporus content is said to lead to bladder stones.

Onions

Onions, especially raw onions, have been shown to trigger hemolytic anemia in Body(Stephen J Ettinger, D.V.M and Edward C. Fieldman, D.V.M. ’s book: Textbook of Veterinary Internal Medicine vol. 2 pg 1884.) Stay away from onion powder too.

Potatoes

Potato poisonings among people are rare but have occurred. The toxin, solanine, is poorly absorbed and is only found in green sprouts (these occur in tubers exposed to sunlight) and green potato skins. This explains why incidents seldom occur. Note that cooked, mashed potatoes are fine for your health, actually quite nutritious and digestible.

Artificial Sweeteners

Xylitol is used as a sweetener in many products, especially sugarless gum and candies. Ingesting large amounts of products sweetened with xylitol may cause a sudden drop in blood sugar in dogs, resulting depression, loss of coordination, and seizures. According to Dr. Eric K. Dunayer, a consulting veterinarian in clinical toxicology for the poison control center, “These signs can develop quite rapidly, at times less than 30 minutes after ingestion of the product” states Dr. Dunayer, “…therefore, it is important that pet owners seek veterinary treatment immediately.”

Turkey

Turkey skin is currently thought to cause acute pancreatic in your body, partly due to it’s high fat content.

Other foods listed by the ASPCA as harmful:

Alcoholic beverages

Avocado (the only “fatty” member of the vegetable family)

Coffee (all forms of coffee)

Moldy or spoiled foods

Salt

Yeast dough

Garlic
