Hot out of the oven...... What lies in our food





*Note:Please continue to read this blog article.

Living Better Cafe is bring you Fresh out of the oven news, that you're going to love. That no other blog source will ever take you close into the story. I say more good reasons to love L.B.C, not only are you revising original recipes. Your saving money while eating the way you want in a healthier way.

Welcome to Hot Out Of The Oven food news, I have yet another edition of food news coming straight from no other source but, Living Better Cafe of course. As you have read through many editions of (H.O.T.O), since I have started this food news addition. You have become wiser about what you buy,and place into your mouth. While I am very happy to continue to keep "Hot of the oven" going as much as you keep enjoy reading it every Monday. In this Second May edition.

After reading about Glyphosate being found inside of Oatmeal, including bagel's, eggs (even organic variety), Potatoes and even non- GMO soy coffee creamer. I find that this is a very much needed topic to touch base on. I know Glyphosate is not an edible food source. But, it has been a topic in breakfast related foods. Does that mean food companies are hiding the truth from us?

As they are slowly killing off their consumer? Well everyone has their own option on what's going on here. Some may, or may not agree but. Living Better Cafe is not looking for a debt team. Living Better Cafe is here, to help you all become aware of these thing's because everything that is being found is being linked, to causing cancer.

If you have read in "Food News Flash" this past week. You would have came across "Super tasty recipes", or "FDA" . You would know that Glyphosate is a poison that, is found in weed killer. Yes that basically say's our food companies, are using weed killer to treat their land. While at the same time it's being absorbed into our food, and we are digesting it into our system.

Which later caused unhealthy risk factors that causes cancer. Like, Breast,Thyroid, Kidney, pancreatic, liver and bladder cancer and then we are digesting this poison into our system. Without even knowing the effects later. We as the consumer need to be aware of what we eat. Even if we do not have control over where our food comes from, we at least need to be cautious of what we put into our mouths because we do not know where it has been.

We know cancer is not a pretty thing to have, and the effect that cancer has can be quite deadly. This ingredient Glyphosate, which is found in weed killer can kill human cells. Especially, embryonic, placental and umbilical cord cells. Plus cause pregnancy problems by interfering with hormone production, that could lead into abnormal fetal development, low birth weights or miscarriages. Glyphosate could be a huge risk factor, for why people have celiac disease as known as Gluten intolerance.

Now I know this has you thinking, just like it has me thinking.
