Lawsuit Slams “All Natural” Snack Makers for Containing Harmful GMO Ingredients

Activist Post
By Anthony Gucciardi
“If it says “all natural” – read the ingredients and the maker of the food. If it’s a mainstream food company, stay away.” –KTRN
Does the term ‘all natural’ really mean anything when it comes to food labeling? Increasingly, the evidence says absolutely not.
A new lawsuit launched from New York highlights the real lack of meaning behind the ‘all natural’ marketing stunt, stating that Frito-Lay’s popular ‘all natural’ snack foods like Tostitos and SunChips are actually made with genetically modified ingredients.
Chris Sakes leads the suit against the mega snack corporation, filing a class-action lawsuit that sheds light on the ‘all natural’ labeling scam.
Shake said that Frito-Lay products are not natural at all, as they contain corn oils and genetically modified plants. What is this phony ‘all natural’ claims worth? About 10 cents more than competing brands that do not claim to be all natural, which contain virtually the same ingredients.
The lawsuit reported that independent testing actually confirmed the presence of corn and vegetables oils as well as GMOs within the popular snack brands.n>
Genetically Modified Ingredients — Far From Natural
In response, a Frito-Lay spokesman stated that the ‘all natural’ statement on its packaging “complies with all regulatory requirements.”

Fake Fat Potato Chips May Make You Fat

Olestra, a synthetic fat substitute, may contribute to weight gain. In a study published in the June 20, 2011 edition of Behavioral Neuroscience researchers from Purdue University report that rats fed both low-calorie, olestra potato chips and high-calorie, high-fat (HF) regular chips gain more weight than rats fed just the HF chips.
In this study, rats were divided into two groups. The first group was offered high-fat potato chips and a rat chow that mimicked the high fat and high calories of the standard American diet. The second group was offered high-fat chips some days and low-fat olestra chips other days. The second group also got the standard rat chow. Rats that were offered the olestra chips ate more food, put on more weight, and ended up with more fat than the other rats. Once the chips were taken away from the rats, they did not lose the weight but stayed fat.
Researchers attribute the weight gain to interference in the body`s predictive mechanism. Normally, people and animals have the ability to judge the amount of energy in food and to compare it with the amount of energy that the body needs. If people or animals gain weight, it is because something has interfered with this natural homeostatic mechanism. The Purdue researchers believe that olestra confuses this mechanism. When rats taste fat but get no energy from it, they lose their ability to judge when they have eaten too much fatty food. They eat not just more chips, but more high-fat food in general. They get fat, and they stay fat.
Olestra, the fake fat used in the study, is a calorie-free fat substitute. Chemists create olestra by combining a vegetable oil molecule and a sucrose (sugar) molecule. The resulting molecule is one not found in nature. The human body cannot digest the molecule, making olestra calorie-free. In other words, olestra has the mouthfeel of fat but not the calories.
This recent study is only one in a series of studies that raise questions about olestra. Other studies have shown that it leaches both fat- and water-soluble vitamins from the body. Normal dietary fat carries fat-soluble vitamins into the body for use. Olestra, on the other hand, binds to these vitamins, but then because olestra can`t be digested, it carries the vitamins out of the body unused.
Chips, too, have raised a few eyebrows in recent studies. A study published June 23, 2011 in the New England Journal of Medicine pointed to potato chips as being one of the leading culprits in gradual weight gain. In a long-running medical study involving 120,877 people, researchers attribute 1.69 pounds of weight gain over four years to potato chips alone. This gain is the single greatest weight gain from any source.
The conclusion? Potato chips are, at most, an occasional treat, not a regular part of a healthy diet. And if you are going to eat potato chips, stay away from the olestra ones. They may cost you more than the few calories they save.

French Fries Linked to Cancer
March 3, 2011 by admin

March 3rd, 2011
Natural News
By: Ethan A. Huff
When potato products are fried in oil at high temperatures, they produce a chemical called acrylamide that can cause cancer. And a new study in the British Journal of Cancer adds to the mounting evidence against the chemical, showing that acrylamide is associated with a 20 percent increased risk of breast cancer in pre-menopausal women.
Back in July, a study published in the journal Breast Cancer Research and Treatment found that women with the highest intake of acrylamide were 31 percent more likely to develop ER+ breast cancer, 47 percent more likely to develop PR+ breast cancer, and 43 percent more likely to develop ER+PR+ breast cancer, compared to women who consumed the least or no acrylamide.
In 2009, a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that acrylamide intake caused an increase in oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels, increased inflammation markers in antioxidants, which would otherwise remove acrylamide, and other neurological damage.
And in 2008, a study published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology found that women who eat roughly one serving of potato chips a day are twice as likely as those who do not to develop ovarian or endometrial cancers.
Fried potatoes are not the only foods that contain acrylamide, though. Any starchy foods that are cooked too long or at too high a temperature can form acrylamide, including even grilled meats and vegetables with grill marks on them. Toasted breads and cereals, baked foods, browned meats, and even some dried fruits also contain acrylamide.
“Consumers can reduce their exposure to acrylamide by limiting their intake of potato chips and French fries…and quitting smoking, which is a major source of acrylamide,” said Mary Ann Johnson, PhD, a spokesperson at the American Society for Nutrition.

10 Things Snack Food Companies Won’t Say
November 17, 2010 by admin

1. This is illegal in Canada
An hour after munching on some light potato chips – made with fat substitute olestra — Debra Jaliman, 55, a Manhattan dermatologist, found herself so sick with abdominal cramps that she had to cancel her slate of patients. Reactions like these are why the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a consumer advocacy organization, says no one should eat olestra, and why Canada and the United Kingdom banned it. But it’s legal here – and you’ll find it in foods like low- or non-fat chips, crackers and cookies. Procter & Gamble, which sells olestra under the name Olean, says that nearly 6.5 million servings of foods containing Olean have been consumed since 1996, the year the FDA approved olestra for U.S. use.
Olestra isn’t the only banned substance that Americans are noshing on. Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone, or rBGH (commonly sold under the name Posilac), a synthetic hormone injected into cows to stimulate milk production, pops up in many dairy-based snacks like ice cream. Not in the European Union or Canada, where it has been banned amid health concerns for both cows and humans, including fears that a hormone associated with cancer might be higher in people who drink milk treated with rBGH. (Eli Lilly, the company that manufacturers Posilac, denies these claims.) Meanwhile, rBGH is a lucrative product in the U.S.: A division of Eli Lilly bought Posilac for more than $300 million in 2008, and studies show Posilac can increase milk production in a cow by 15% or more, meaning more milk to sell.
2. We added pulverized insects to your snack
For Dr. James Baldwin, treating the 27-year-old woman for anaphylactic shock was easy, but figuring out what caused the reaction was a mystery. Several tests later, Baldwin discovered that the patient had a rare allergy to something she’d eaten—the carcasses of ground-up, boiled beetles, which are often used in snack foods to create those lovely shades of red, purple and pink in everything from fruit juice to ice cream to candy. “It’s a common colorant,” Baldwin says.
No, you won’t find the word “beetle” anywhere on food labels; instead, you’ll likely see the less cringe-worthy “carmine,” “carminic acid” or “cochineal extract.” And the beetle’s remains are big business. Peru, the largest exporter of cochineal in the world, produces about 2 million pounds of the dyestuff each year, according to Amy Butler Greenfeld, a Marshall Scholar at Oxford University and the author of “A Perfect Red,” which examines the history of cochineal. Experts say the industry in Peru grew about 15% per year during the past decade – and as the demand for natural color in foods grows, Greenfeld predicts that the cochineal industry will grow along with it.
3. Expiration date? There’s no expiration date
We’ve all chuckled over the urban legend that a Twinkie will stay fresh in its plastic wrap forever. Turns out, it’s not so far-fetched. The expiration date on highly-processed foods can be significantly longer than the date on the package, says Karen Duester, MS, RD, president of the Food Consulting Company, which advises companies on food labels and FDA regulations. In fact, if the product is well-sealed, kept away from light, and has a low fat and dairy content, it could last for years. That’s particularly true for canned snacks like maraschino cherries.
These “best by” dates are provided voluntarily by the manufacturer, but given that experts say these products are safe to eat after their expiration, why do they even bother? It encourages retailers to restock – and reorder – the product more often, says Duester. Plus, an expiration date pegged to 2015 isn’t exactly appealing to a customer.

Fries, Chips Linked to Breast Cancer
October 19, 2010 by admin

In the Pink Month- the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we publish a report below to share with readers a study that suggests eating too much chips and fries, which are high in acrylamide, may increase risk of breast cancer.
It should be noted that not all studies are consistent and this study is observational, meaning the results do not prove that eating acrylamide rich foods will definitely raise the cancer risk even though the possiblity may not be excluded either.
High dietary intake of acrylamide may increase risk of certain types of breast cancer, a study published in the July 2010 issue of Breast Cancer Research and Treatment suggests.
Acrylamide, found in certain starchy foods particularly like thermally processed asparagine-rich potatoes like chips and fries, is a potential human carcinogen, which has been proved in animals to cause cancer while studies on the effect of this chemical on human carcinogenesis are few.
For the study, Pedersen G.S. and colleagues from Maastricht University in The Netherlands followed 62,573 women aged 55 to 69 who enrolled in the Netherlands Cohort Study on diet and cancer intiated in 1986 for incidence of breast cancer and dietary intake of acrylamide in the subjects.
During the 13-year follow-up, 2225 incident breast cancer cases were identified with hormone receptor status information for 43 percent of the cases.
Cox proportional hazards analysis showed that when the highest quintile of dietary acrylamide intake was compared to the lowest quintile of intake, no correlation was found for overall brast cancer or receptor negative breast cancer risk, rehardless of smoking status.
However, a statistically nonsignficantly elevated risk of ER positive, PR positive and joint rectpor-positive breast cancer was observed among never-smoking women.
Multivariable-adjusted analyses showed that those with highest intake of acrylamide were 31 percent more likely to develop ER+ breast cancer, 47 percent more likely to develop PR+ breast cancer, 43 perent more likely to acquire ER+PR+ breast cancer compared to those who had lowest intake of acrylamide.
Early laboratory studies revealed that acrylamide can interact with DNA in human breast tissue to form adducts which may potentially increase risk of breast cancer.
Acrylamide is widely present in many types of heat-treated foods. The toxic chemical is formed when an amino acid called asparagine reacts with reducing sugar like glucose.
The researchers of the current study concluded their study showed “some indications of a positive association between dietary acrylamide intake and receptor-positive breast cancer risk in postmenopausal never-smoking women.”
They acknowledged “Further studies are needed to confirm or refute our observations.”
Breast cancer is more commonly found in Western countries where potatoe chips and fries are more commonly consumed. An estimated 175,000 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 50,000 will die from the disease in 2010.
More reports will be published here in the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month to help readers better understand breast cancer and how to prevent the disease.

Western Diet Causes Severe Depression

By David Gutierrez
(NaturalNews) Women who eat a typical Western diet high in junk food may increase their risk of suffering from mood disorders such as depression, according to a study conducted by researchers from the University of Melbourne and published in the American Journal of Psychiatry.
Researchers gathered psychiatric evaluations of 925 women between the ages of 20 to 93 over the course of ten years, then compared them to data collected on the participants’ diets. They found that women who ate a diet high in white bread, hamburgers, pizza, chips, beer, flavored dairy beverages and sugary foods were 50 percent more likely to suffer from depression or anxiety than women who did not eat such a diet.
In contrast, women who ate what the researchers classified as a traditional Australian diet, high in vegetables, fruit, beef, lamb, fish and whole grains, were 30 percent less likely to suffer from mood disorders than women who did not follow the Australian diet.
