Many of my posts contain ‘negative’ information — the dangers of GMO’s, EMF’s, deodorants, farmed salmon. I sometimes hesitate to write these. “Too much negativity”, I tell myself.

Since I started this blog, I have spent a lot time researching health. I have learned so much about things beneficial to longevity and anti-aging — even motivating me to change my own habits, like to start juicing — something I’ve always wanted to do.

But unfortunately, we live in a scary world today. Scary to the point where avoidance and knowing the truth about what affects our health is almost more important than knowing what is good for us.

I have a business background. I graduated with a business degree, spent twenty years of my life in a family business, and have read hundreds of books on business. My day job is in business — loans and investment management.

I love business.

But it has an ugly side. And that is what so much of my recent research has shown in the health arena. Corporations — not small- or mid-sized companies — but large multi-national corporations that will do anything, compromise anything, in the pursuit of money.

Hidden under the guise of maximising shareholder value, these corporations work their way into government agencies, politicians’ pockets, and mainstream media to accomplish their mission — and damn the effect it might have on you, their customer.

Monsanto is but a tip of the iceberg. Food multi-nationals [Nestlé, General Foods, Kraft], Big Pharma [Pfizer, GlaxoSmithCline, Roche], federal agencies [FDA, USDA, AMA, ADA], even ‘charities’ [American Cancer Society, American Heart Association]. They all have motivations to put profits and distorted science ahead of your health.

So while I sometimes feel guilty writing about all this negativity, I won’t apologise for it. The only way to combat these assaults on your health is through education. You just gotta know.
