America's processed food problem exposed - from chips and TV dinners that have up to 120 additives to a SALAD with 50 ingredients At this point, most people know junk food is loaded with added sugar, saturated fat and salt, all of which are bad for us. But many may be surprised to find out that some of their favorite indulgent treats have up to 120 ingredients. DailyMail.com found chips, snack mixes, frozen pizza, and microwave meals were among the worst offenders. But even some salad kits had up to 50 additives, including mostly preservatives and added flavors. www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-12059987/Americas-processed-foods-problem-exposed-Chips-TV-dinners-120-ADDITIVES.html |

America's processed food problem exposed - from chips and TV dinners that have up to 120 additives to a SALAD with 50 ingredients It's worse than I thought.  In the end, if we live on that kind of food, we might as well be eating cardboard. Most of my life I have eaten whatever I wanted without really thinking about the nutrients in it or if it was doing me any good, etc. But that changed when I started accumulating too much iron and too much cholesterol. I had to change my diet quite drastically. But is not easy! Watching what you eat, exercising each day and so forth in order to keep healthy is like a full time job in itself. I really am not that disciplined. So I slip over and over again. I have a sweet tooth, love fizzy drinks. But I do limit them now. It's the best I can do. |

No but it does help, people put off going to the doctor when they have zero coverage. Delaying health care leads to a worsening situation. Also, when the entire population is part of the health package there is pressure on people to stay healthy. |

I have tried to have discussions about healthcare with leftists but they want everything for everyone all the time whenever they want it , however they want it and on and on. So there are no POINTS to meet to actually discuss it. |

Even natural foods like apples, fruit, pears, corn, and seeds and nuts are full of nasty un~natural ingredients. Ya just can't win.

A while ago I read something interesting, it said our 60's and 70's are our most dangerous years when it comes to illness, that's when the cancer risk, heart attack, stroke and other major illnesses seem to peak.
If you can make it to the 80's you have a very good chance of seeing your 90's. It's interesting when ya think of people like Clint Eastwood who is 96 and Bob Barker who is 99 years old along with others. of course that's just general there are no Guarantees that just because your in your 80's you won't get a stroke, cancer or heart attack and never get to see 90.

I dunno about other snack foods but the best tasting potato chips are the 'Better Made' brand from Michigan and as far as I know those chips are only sold in Michigan. The factory looks the same as it was when I was a kid according to the picture in the link, on Gratiot Ave in Detroit, from the street windows ya can see the chips being made and going down the conveyor belt. The best potato chips ever IMO. Detroit used to have a good bakery too called "Sanders" best cakes and sweets ever. Also some stores sold a brand called "Awreys" they sold some good stuff too . I as far as I know both companies are gone. Sanders used to have a Bakery outlet store on 10 mile road just east of Van-dyke back in the 1990's where we could stock up on the goodies. www.bettermade.com |

Aging sucks whatever way you look at it. Some, I think are just genetically less prone to the diseases that others might fall prey to. But I'd say that not smoking and drinking and eating right will prolong our life, and keep you healthier longer... |

I saw on one of those supermarket tabloids that Clint Eastwood is not doing well, he's been going thru all sorts of medical issues- he's in his mid-90's. |

I still remember stopping in Carman, California and hoping I would bump into him. It never happened  I think he was the Mayor at the time, as well as it being his home town. Population only 4,000 people. It's a nice little town by the way. Expensive, even back in the 80's. |
