When shopping for your ingredients and products, be sure to read the labels. It can get overwhelming, so you may want to print this page and take it with you as a quick reference. You may be surprised to see how many foods you already have in your kitchen that contain one or more of the items listed. Don't panic. Our goal is to help you eliminate these products from your current diet, and help you find replacements that are both economical and tasty to replace them!

This is a real list I use for our family, and it's just the tip of the iceburg. As I learn more, and find ways to implement new knowledge, I will try to keep this up to date for you to know that you can remove all these things and still eat!

This is the alphabetical list (in progress). There are more, but this is a great place to start!

The items I have listed below are known to be either carcinogenic, related to obesity (increases risk for other diseases like diabetes), cause mood and emotional problems in people, or have other documented adverse side effects.

• Acesulfame Potassium
• Aspartame
• High Fructose Corn Syrup
• Hydro.... (anything that starts with "hydro" as in hydrolyzed, hydrogenated, etc)
• MSG / Monosodium Glutamate
• Natural Flavors
• Phenylalanine
• Potassium Benzoate
• Sodium Benzoate
• Sodium Nitrates
• Sucralose
• Sulfites (six names used for sulfites: sulfur dioxide, sodium sulfite, sodium bisulfite, potassium bisulfite, sodium metabisulfite, and potassium metabisulfite)

Further information regarding my research should be available as our site develops. In the meantime, PLEASE look up any (or all) of these up online (at least on Wikipedia), and find out why we are so passionate about this and pleading with you to STOP BUYING ANY PRODUCTS WITH THESE preservatives! Your dollars count!

These companies are dependent on YOUR dollars! It's time for you to VOTE wisely. We want to help you do this. We don't want to simply educate you of these dangers, but we are working to empower you to make better choices for your health (and the health of our country).

Your supporting myGroceryPlanner.com (through your prayers, membership, and spreading the word to others) will not only help your personal daily meal planning, but will help us get this information out to consumers and provide you with realistic changes you can make to help us all work together to stop this genocide!
