When you get a second read this article on what GMO Food is all about,l it explains it in language anyone can understand. In doing so I am hoping that you as me will now take a serious look at what is happening with our food today. Click Link Below
Avoid all toothpastes made in China , especially Colgate as they contain Ethylene Glycol. This is an anti-freezing agent, highly toxic and even fatal — it destroys the liver, kidneys, lungs, blood cells, heart and the nervous system. It is also in some mouth washes, make-up, aftershaves, baby powder and wipes, shampoos, and deodorants.
Avoid Smarties – they contain almost every toxic artificial colour on the market.
To top it off Smarties are not even made of chocolate. Neither are Tim Tams. Synthetic chocolate has no nutritional value whatsoever.
Read your food labels. It may one day save your life.
