Stay Away From Poisons

Processed foods. The more ingredients in your food you pick up at the store, the more it has been tampered with, processed, and deviated from its natural state. If you do not already check the ingredients of what you have been eating, you need to start doing so right away. Not sure of one of the ingredients? Pick up your smart phone or go on the internet and search it. If you can't pronounce it, you probably shouldn't be consuming it. As part of the paleo diet, you must start eating naturally and more importantly, organically.

Do not let a label, like Diet Soda or Sugar-free gum, fool you. The sugar is probably replaced with something worse, like aspartame. Please, for your own piece of mind, do your own research on aspartame (or asculfame), monosodium glutemate (msg), genetically-modified organisms (gmo's), sodium nitrate (used to preserve meats), and high fructose corn syrup (which research has shown to be laced with mercury). There are many more poisons out there in food churned out by huge corporations who cut corners at the expense of your health.

And, don't think a soda-ban in NYC is anyway to go, because the soda ban does not apply to diet soda drinks! You all must realize that there are healthy alternatives out there, but for big corporations, there is not enough profit in those alternatives. "How can we prolong the shelflife of our product so we don't lose money? Preservatives!" Do you think these chemicals will eventually harm your body? Does anyone out there really think most diseases Americans face are natural and unavoidable? This is no BS. You will notice a world of difference when you begin to elliminate these toxins and poisons from your diet. When you stop consuming them, you will hopefully detox your body of them and become healthier - not only your body but your mind as well.
