FOOD

Read labels and avoid these things (some of them are illegal in your country): 

• Farmed fish (if you buy fresh or frozen fish, choose wild caught fish)

• Partially hydrogenated oils (trans fat)

• Corn syrup, especially high fructose corn syrup (found in many packaged bread, candies, cookies, drinks) 

• Anything you cannot define as food!

• The preservatives BHT & BHA
  Milk and dairy products laced with rBGH (Trader Joe’s doesn’t use that kind of milk) If you can, buy organic, whole milk products.

• Aspartame

• MSG (monosodium glutamate). This additive causes problems for some people.

• HVP (hydrolyzed vegetable protein) 

• Acesulfame potassium (acesulfame K) 8 potassium bromate

• Sodium nitrate or nitrite (Nitrates can give you a headache. Read labels on hot dogs and bacon to make sure it doesn’t have them.)

• Propyl gallate

• Sodium benzoate

• Artificial colors 

• Peanut butter that has anything in it besides peanuts.

Try to get organic fruit, vegetables, chicken and meat.
