Bette Dowdell: Too Pooped To Participate - Bread Follies: The Proof

[Guest guest]

Open up, Carlene. It's Bette!

Big announcement teleseminar next week. Details below.

Bread Follies: The Proof ** In a previous edition of Too Pooped to Participate, I wrote: Some bread-makers include azodicarbonamide (ADA) in their wares. It's a pesticide from China that's added to flour to speed up the bleaching process. PesticideInfo.org links it to cancer, reproductive and developmental problems, nerve damage and overall toxicity. Well, is there enough of it in bread to do any real damage? Oh, indeedy! It causes coughs, headaches that can last for days, shortness of breath, wheezing, swollen nasal cavities, burning throat and breathing problems. People report being diagnosed with asthma because of ADA. Quit the ADA, and they're healed! Same with sinus infections. The United Kingdom, Singapore, Australia and most of Europe ban ADA. The FDA and World Health Organization say it's just hunky-dory. No problem here. Move along. Subway, Dunkin' Donuts and Burger King all add ADA to their bread. MickyDs apparently doesn't. ** The test of those words: I recently drove Interstate 10 back to Phoenix from a family reunion near Palm Springs. If you've ever been that way, you know it's desert pretty much as far as the eye can see. Good road. Good visibility. Amenities? Not so much. When I stopped for gas, my food options were heavily breaded chicken deep fried in much-used oil, candy bars and chips, or Subway. It seemed unwise to put off eating because I still had a ways to go. So, given the choices before me, I ordered from Subway. How bad could it be? And, nitrates in the turkey breast and soy oil in the mayo notwithstanding, it tasted pretty good. But by the time I got home about two hours later, I sounded like I was in late-stage lung disease. I wheezed. I rattled. I coughed. Apparently my breathing apparatus wasn't nearly as impressed with the sandwich as my taste buds had been. I spent the rest of my waking hours ridding myself of as much phlegm as I could coax out. This was not a voluntary exercise, mind you. I just couldn't stop coughing and hacking. And so it went for a few days. Fortunately, lying down stopped the mess, so I was able to sleep. But, sleep or no sleep, that's a high price to pay for a sandwich. Obviously this wasn't a scientific test. All that carrying on could have been a coincidence. No matter; I'm done with Subway. I'm glad the effects were so dramatic; anything subtle would have left me wondering. And it's subtle side effects that allow things, like nerve damage say, to go unnoticed until too late. Better I should hack the days away and know for sure. Now I just have to figure out how to travel without doing a number on my health. Until next time then.God is good, Bette Dowdell http://TooPoopedToParticipate.com P.S. Remember. I'm not a doctor, just a patient like you. Luckily for both of us, I've been studying this stuff for years. Knowledge is power. 2/22/11 Teleseminar: I'll be announcing a brand new program, Moving to Health, next week. As usual, I'll be talking about how the body works, what you need to avoid (like Subway) and what natural things you can do when disease comes for a visit. What's new is Moving to Health allows me to cover more of the health issues that confront us, go into more depth and tie all the pieces together. Doctors can be a blessing, but given their limited time and attention, knowing what we can do for ourselves is priceless. More next week.
