Vegetarian Foods That Surprisingly Aren't


These supposedly animal-free foods will make you gag, regardless of your dietary lifestyle. Hopefully you are not eating MOST of these items anyway as they are not healthy

Nothing written in fine print is ever good news. That's true if you're a credit card holder wary of hidden fees, a Facebook user navigating a maze of privacy settings, or a vegetarian looking for a bagel that's not made with duck feathers.

Wait, what?!
Many people who choose to eat vegan or vegetarian are doing so for health or personal ethical issues. So it's shocking that food manufacturers often sneak animal parts into foods that the average herbivore thinks will fit in with his or her vegetarian lifestyle. From OJ to bananas, even the most seemingly safe and uncomplicated of foods can hide bizarre animal products capable of making a carnivore cringe. Ladies and gentlemen: these are the foods that make the vegetarian black-list—because they aren't actually vegetarian. But don't worry; there are still plenty of other good options out there.

WHITE SUGAR







If you're eating … White Sugar
You're also consuming … Animal Bones
Refined white sugar is bleached in a process that entails running the sugar through "bone char" or "natural carbon"—both fancy terms for charred cattle bones. Confectioner's and brown sugar can also be culprits, as they are variations of white sugar. Stick to organic cane or turbinado sugar; or consult this list of char-free sugars.


VANILLA ICE CREAM







If you're eating … Vanilla Ice Cream
You're also consuming … Beaver Butt Juice
The "natural flavoryou see listed on your favorite vanilla ice cream may actually come from a beaver's rear end. Castoreum is the technical term for the all-natural ingredient—a fragrant, brown slime that beavers use to mark their territory, and food scientists use to give products a musky, vanilla scent. The FDA has ruled that because there's no harm in eating castoreum, food manufacturers are not required to list it in the ingredients. Your best bet is to make your OWN ice cream.

ORANGE JUICE

If you're drinking … Orange Juice
You're also consuming … Fish Oil & Sheep's Wool
Oranges, however nutritious, aren't naturally "heart-healthy." In order to market a juice as such, manufacturers add omega-3s, which are sourced from anchovies, tilapia, and sardines. (The exception to this is if the omegas are synthetic.) Also, the vitamin D in some fortified juices comes from lanolin, a waxy substance from sheep's wool.Tropicana and PepsiCo escape the blacklist, but steer clear of Coca-Cola juices, which contain lanolin-derived vitamin D. Better yet, juice your own!


REFRIED BEANS



If you're eating … Refried Beans
You're also consuming … Pork Fat
Beans can be a great source of protein for our veggie-focused friends, especially when coupled with whole grains. However, many traditional Mexican restaurants have a secret: Their refried beans are made with lard (pork fat).


BANANAS, NON-ORGANIC







If you're eating … Bananas
You're also consuming … Shellfish
Your banana has crabs. According to Science Daily, Chitosan, a bacteria-fighting compound derived from shrimp and crab shells, has made its way into spray-on preservatives that extend the shelf life of bananas and can infiltrate the fruit. That's bad news for vegetarians, vegans, and anyone with a shellfish allergy. Watch for new warning labels that read: "This product may contain shellfish by-products." Orjust buy organic.


BAGELS


If you're eating … Bagels
You're also consuming … Bird Feathers
Here's what it takes to make a plain bagel: flour, water, salt, yeast. Unless you're a popular bagel chain. Then you throw in some duck and chicken feathers. Many processed bagels and bread products contain the enzyme L. Cysteine, a "dough conditioner" sourced from duck and chicken feathers. (It can also be made from human hair.) Einstein Bros. and Dunkin Donuts have both confirmed using L. Cysteine in all of their bagels. Poultry feathers also make an appearance in the garlic bread at Pizza Hut and in Mickey D's cinnamon rolls and apple pies.


RED CANDIES


If you're eating … Red Candies
You're also consuming … Crushed Beetles
Watch out for "Natural Red #4." Not only does it give most red candies their coloring, it refers to carmine, a pigment extracted from the female Dactylopius coccus Costa insectIt's sometimes listed as "cochineal," "carminic acid" or "carmine." It's crushed-up beetles, and it's more pervasive than you might think; wine, vinegar, and colored pasta also boast the beetle juice.


HARD-COATED CANDIES







If you're eating … Hard-Coated Candies
You're also consuming … Bug Juice
Most candy coatings are made from shellac, a resin secreted from the rear end of the female lac bug. It's usually listed as "confectioner's glaze" in the ingredients. You may have heard of shellac before, like when you get a manicure that lasts several weeks. Yeah, it's the same stuff. Shellac is also found in furniture polish, hairspray, and agricultural fertilizer. Gross! Do your research before indulging. Here's a list of confections to pass up.


IMPORTED BEER AND WINE



If you're drinking … Imported Beer or Wine 
You're also consuming … Fish Bladders
Mmm, this cab has notes of currants, vanilla, and…sturgeon? Some brands of beer and wine, particularly those made in Britain, are clarified using isinglass, a gelatin from the air bladder of certain freshwater fish. (Guinness is a specific example that uses isinglass.) Vegetarian clarifiers can be made from clay or algae.


SALTED PEANUTS



If you're eating … Salted Peanuts
You're also consuming … Pig Hooves
Some brands use gelatin as an additive to help salt and other spices adhere to the peanuts. Gelatin is derived from the collagen in cow or pig bones, hooves, and connective tissues. (Think: bone broth) Always buy plain peanuts in the shell. Plus, a study published in the journal Appetite found that eating shelled nuts can save you up to 22 percent on your calories!


BBQ POTATO CHIPS



If you're eating … BBQ Potato Chips
You're also consuming … Chicken and Beef Fat
Many chips, especially barbecue flavor, contain chicken fat (or schmaltz). Always read the food labels carefully. For example, while Lay's "Country Flavor" BarBQ chips are vegetarian-safe, Lay's KC Masterpiece Barbecue chips and BBQ Baked Lay's are not. We did some legwork for you BBQ lovers and found that Fritos and Boulder BBQ varieties are also vegan-OK. 


CAKE MIX




If you're eating … Cake Mix
You're also consuming … Pork Fat
Believe it or not, it's common for pork fat (lard, as mentioned earlier) tofind its way into the dry ingredients of boxed cake mixes. Simply check the label for "lard"!


CHEESE





If you're eating …Cheese
You're also consuming … Calf, Sheep, Goats, or Pig Stomach
It ain't easy being cheesy if you're a strict vegetarian. Most cheeses are made with rennet, an enzyme derived from animal stomachsTraditional Parmesan, for example, always has rennet. Most British cheeses do, too. (U.S. cheese makers often use cheaper alternatives.) Even if they don't use animal it is still unhealthy. 
See my blog on cheese.  
To complicate things, brands aren't obligated to state whether or not they use the enzyme. Alternatives include cheeses made from a liquid vegetable rennet and soy and rice alternatives. However, they still are very UNHEALTHY!!!


LUCKY CHARMS







If you're eating … Lucky Charms
You're also consuming … Animal Bones
Those marshmallow moons, clovers and horseshoes are made with gelatin, derived from animal collagen (aka cartilage, skin, tendons, bones). True veg-heads—and those who keep kosher, and cannot mix milk and meat—have known this for years, staring regretfully at the taunting leprechaun. Also containing gelatin: Smorz, Fruity Marshmallow Krispies, and Rich Krispies Treats Squares.


TWINKIES







If you're eating … Twinkies
You're also consuming … Beef Fat
These undying, suspiciously shelf-stable things are made with beef fatBut vegetarian or not, you don't eat these anyway, right?


JELL-O




If you're eating … Jell-O
You're also consuming … Animal Bones
Now that you know what gelatin is, this probably makes sense that Jell-O wouldn't be animal-free. For a pigskin-free version, try Lieber's kosher brand.


WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE










If you're eating … Worcestershire Sauce
You're also consuming … Anchovies
Everyone's favorite unpronounceable condiment isn't a favorite of vegetarians: Many varieties are made with anchovies, along with malt vinegar, molasses, sugar, and spices. Certain brands even list the fish on their labels, although they may contain less than 1/60th of the little guys. 


PEEPS

If you're eating … Peeps
You're also consuming … Animal Bones
The fluffy Easter favorite only looks harmless to vegetarians. He's actually made with—yep—gelatin. Keep this in mind.


PESTO SAUCE


If you're eating … Pesto
You're also consuming … Calf Stomachs
Wait! Pesto is just pine nuts, basil, and olive oil, right? It's an easy mistake to make and quite common, but people frequently forget about that last traditional ingredient—parmesan cheese. Remember what we discussed above? Parmesan is made with rennet and, therefore, not a calf-free food. There are plenty of recipes out there for vegetarian and vegan versions, so just whip up a batch at home to be safe.


VEGETABLE SOUPS
If you're eating … Vegetable Soups
You're also consuming … Beef or Chicken Stock
Always, always, always read the label. Store-bought soups frequently use chicken or beef stock as a base, even if they're called simply "vegetable soup." Watch out for split pea soups as well, whichfrequently use ham in the cooking process, even if there aren't pieces in the finished product.

Veganism


Nearly ten years of life, vitality, and disease free living is what the average vegan achieves.

ACCORDING TO THE SOP AND MOST RECENT SCIENTIFIC STATISTICS, THE TOP 4 KILLER DISEASES IN THE NATION ARE:
  • Drug Medication – “More deaths have been caused by drug-taking than from all other causes combined.”  (2SM 450.2)
  • Cancer (is now ahead of heart disease)
  • Heart Disease
  • Medical Error

More deaths have been caused by drug-taking than from all other causes combined…”  (2SM 450.2)

HEART DISEASE IS THE #2 DISEASE IN AMERICA

It is known as the silent killer with someone dying every 30 seconds from a heart attack. That's approximately 2 heart attacks every minute; 120 every hour; 2,880 every 24 hours; 20,160 every week & approximately 1,050,000 every year.

DIETARY CHOLESTEROL INTAKE – only found in animal foods – is directly linked to living a significantly shorter life.

FIBER INTAKE – only found in plant foods - is directly linked to living a significantly longer life.

Consuming the amount of cholesterol found in just a single egg a day may cut your life short as much as smoking five cigarettes daily for 15 years, whereas eating a daily cup of green leafy vegetable worth of fiber may extend your life as much as four hours of jogging a week. (walking is the best exercise tho)

More than 20 years ago, Dr. Dean Ornish showed that heart disease could not just be stopped but actually reversed with a vegan diet, arteries opened up without drugs or surgery. Since this lifestyle cure was discovered, hundreds of thousands have died unnecessary deaths. What more does one have to know about a diet that reverses our deadliest disease?

CANCER IS THE #1 KILLER DISEASE IN AMERICA – but look at this hopeful science. According to the largest forward-looking studies on diet and cancer so far performed, the incidence of all cancers combined is lower among vegans.” The link between meat and cancer is profound! FLESH FROM A DEAD ANIMAL ABSOLUTELY CAUSES CANCER; there is no doubt about it. “Grass-fed meat,” “organic meat (whatever that means),”  meat from animals that were massaged, taken to Disneyland, and given vitamin B12 shots still is all the same when it is so decoratively placed on your plate – it is flesh from a dead animal and flesh from a dead animal causes cancer and heart disease...that simple!

After Dr. Ornish's team showed that the bloodstreams of men eating vegan for a year had nearly eight times the cancer-stopping power, a series of elegant experiments showed that women could boost their defenses against breast cancer after just two weeks on a plant-based diet. If you or anyone you know has ever had a cancer scare, this research will make your heart soar. Because there is real, true hope -- something you can do to stave off "the big C."

The key to preventing strokes is to eat potassium-rich foods. Though Chiquita may have had a good PR firm, bananas don't even make the top 50 sources. The leading whole food sources include dark green leafy vegetables, beans, and dates. We eat so few plants that 98 percent of Americans don't even reach the recommended minimum daily intake of potassium.

ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE IS NOW OUR SIXTH LEADING KILLER.
We've known for nearly 20 years now that those who eat meat – yes, chicken and fish are meat -- appear three times more likely to become demented compared to long-term vegans. Exciting new research suggests one can treat Alzheimer's using natural plant products such as the spice saffron, which beat out placebo and worked as well as a leading Alzheimer's drug.

Diabetes has almost become as common as the flu. Plant-based diets help prevent, treat, and even reverse both types 1 and 2 diabetes. Since vegans are, on average, about 30 pounds skinnier than meat-eaters, this comes as no surprise; but researchers found that vegans appear to have just a fraction of the diabetes risk, even after controlling for their slimmer figures.

Suicide is a leading contributor to deaths...Oh yes, vegan food even has something good to offer on this one! Cross-sectional studies have shown that the moods of those on plant-based diets tend to be superior, but taken in just a snapshot in time one can't tease out cause-and-effect. Maybe happier people end up eating healthier and not the other way around. But this year an interventional trial was published in which all meat, poultry, fish, and eggs were removed from people's diets and a significant improvement in mood scores was found after just two weeks. It can take drugs like Prozac a month or more to take effect. So you may be able to get happier faster by cutting out animal foods than by using drugs.

Take this little study on your own and visit a meat-eating restaurant, listen to the tone of the conversation, and observe the aggressive attitudes of meat eaters as they dive into their pound of steak. Notice that flesh eaters are tense and even hostile as they dine on their meal. Also, observe the redness in their face as their cholesterol and blood pressure rise and also notice their weight.

Now, move on over to a vegan restaurant and observe the quieter tones you hear, the peaceful mood, the healthier skin color and healthier body mass...This is certainly not scientific but it will change one's approach to transitioning to veganism in less than one meal...someone came up with this personal research with her two sons at a very early age and both of them realized the value of a plant base diet before they were in their teens.

There are as many drugs on the market as cans of soup and boxes of kid's cereals! Doctors prescribe them like candy, literally. Instead of taking one drug for cholesterol every day for the rest of your life, maybe a few for high blood pressure or diabetes, a plant-based vegan diet appears to work across the board without the risk of drug side effects. One study found that prescription medications kill an estimated 106,000 Americans every year. That's not from errors or overdose, but from adverse drug reactions, arguably making doctors one of the leading causes of death.

People all day long use the excuse, “A vegan diet is too expensive and time-consuming.” How many times have you heard that excuse? Well, my response before they can finish their sentence is, “prescription drugs, doctor's visits, triple heart bypass surgery, chemotherapy, bed ridden and death is also "too expensive and time consuming.”

Those who eat meat and dairy have about twice the odds of being on antacids, aspirin, blood pressure medications, insulin, laxatives, painkillers, sleeping pills, and tranquilizers. So, plant-based diets are great for those who don't like taking drugs, paying for drugs, or risking adverse side effects.

Imagine if, like ex-President Clinton, our nation embraced a plant-based diet. Imagine if we just significantly cut back on animal products. There is one country that tried. After World War II, Finland joined us in packing the meat, eggs, and dairy. By the 1970s, the mortality rate from heart disease of Finnish men was the highest in the world, and so they initiated a country-wide program to decrease their saturated fat intake. Farmers were encouraged to switch from dairies to berries. Towns were pitted against each other in friendly cholesterol-lowering competitions. Their efforts resulted in an 80 percent drop in cardiac mortality across the entire country.

Conflicts of interest on the U.S. dietary guidelines committee may have prevented similar action from our own government, but with our health-care crisis deepening, our obesity epidemic widening, and the health of our nation's children in decline, we may need to take it upon our selves, families, and communities to embrace vegan ideals of healthy, affordable, sustainable foods by moving towards a more plant-centered diet. VEGANISM SAVES LIVES, reduces healthcare costs significantly, and affords us the opportunity to live in a clean and pollution-free environment.

So, when people tell you to “mind your own business” and “allow people to choose their own course of diet,”  TELL THEM that the air you breathe, the destruction of our land and water, the billions of animals that die under horrible conditions, the cost of healthcare that is driving our economy to ruins and millions of people in third world countries that die of salvation because 80% of the grains grown is diverted to fatten animals raised for food “IS your business” and meat and dairy eaters “IS” the culprit.

Vegan Egg Product


I did some research on this product and here are the ingredients that are not good for you in this product.....Gellan Gum, Carrageenan, and Nutritional Yeast.

Gellan Gum  It is a polysaccharide produced by FERMENTATION of a pure culture of Sphingomonas elodea. Gellan gum is similar to xanthan gum in that it is an exopolysaccharide produced by bacterial fermentation.

We are counseled NOT to use anything fermented, so that is bad.

Carrageenan – The way carrageenan is chemically structured triggers an autoimmune response. Autoimmune responses LEAD TO INFLAMMATION WITHIN THE BODY.

It’s been SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN that CARRAGEENAN has a unique chemical structure that LEADS TO PROLONGED INFLAMMATION and other negative health effects. Its effect on the body is similar to the effect of certain pathogenic bacteria such as Salmonella.

Researchers found a link between the type of carrageenan used in food to gastrointestinal disease in laboratory animals, including ulcerative colitis–like disease, intestinal lesions, and colon cancer.

Numerous studies conducted on lab animals and human cells over the last four decades have suggested that CARRAGEENAN CAN CAUSE GASTROINTESTINAL INFLAMMATION, MALIGNANT TUMORS AND COLON CANCER.

Carrageenan is in MANY products!!! Tofutti sour cream, cream cheese and more, see these links:



YEAST FLAKES – THEY CONTAIN 40% MSGTHEY ARE FERMENTED AND THEY ARE A FUNGUS.

Additives that always have excitotoxins (kills brain cells and is mostly MSG): Did you know that NUTRITIONAL YEAST FLAKES, CHICKEN, and BEEF SEASONINGS, ALL of the FAKE MEATS from the ABC, ALL TVP, AND BRAGG’S LIQUID AMINOS and many more things are additives that ALWAYS HAVE EXCITOTOXINS? I was shocked when I found that out! 

See this link: 

I hope this helps to inform you so you can eliminate this from your diet and start to feel better!

Vegan Diet


Q: Where did the Vegetarianism/Vegan Diet originate?
A: In the Garden of Eden, before sin entered this world (Genesis 1:29)

Q: What was the original diet given to man by God? (Genesis 1:29)
A: Seeds of herbs, fruits, nuts, grains (no vegetables were given until after sin) (Gen 3:18)

Because of sin, man would sweat when he tilled the cursed ground that would now have thorns & thistles (Genesis 3:17-19) and in the process of sweating, he would now lose what are called ELECTROLYTES, therefore, God gave the HERB OF THE FIELD (vegetables that grow out of the ground...carrots, beets, lettuce, greens, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes, etc....Green beans and peas are not vegetables, they are legumes...anything with a seed in it like avocado, tomato, and eggplant are not vegetables...these existed before sin, and are also very beneficial for health).

God wants us in health (3 John 2) and He tells us to eat that which is good (Isaiah 55:2). He says, that when we are sick, He will give us good things to eat which will in turn renew our youth and give us energy. This will HEAL ALL OUR DISEASES. (Psalms 103:1-5)

The word good in the verse = beneficial. Food that is beneficial for health. Therefore, it does not include processed food, food coloring, additives, preservatives, MSG, Aspartame, Splenda, white products, which have been stripped of their nutrients, etc.

Also, God gave us several things in the Garden that are VERY CONDUCIVE FOR OUR HEALTH AS WELL: Nutrition (a 100% vegetarian diet), Exercise, Water, Sunshine, Temperance, Air, Rest, Trust in God (if you would like more details on how to apply each properly, just ask and I will send you info).

By following the above, along with REFRAINING FROM ALL FORMS OF ALCOHOL (Proverbs 20:1; Proverbs 23:31-35; Habakkuk 2:15), TOBACCO, TEA (Black, Green, White, Chai...not referring to herbal tea), COFFEE, CONDIMENTS, 
SPICES, VINEGAR, FERMENTED ITEMS, COARSE VEGETABLES (see Education 204.3, 1T 680.2, & How to Live 31-33); DRUGS (recreational & medicinal....See Jeremiah 46:11; Ezekiel 47:12 and Revelation 22:2), and DRESSING PROPERLY, according to the Biblical standards, DISEASE WOULD BE VERY RARE AMONG GOD'S PEOPLE & THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD (See Exodus 15:26, Deuteronomy 6:24; Deuteronomy 28:15, 21-22, 27-28, 34-35, 60-61....these are natural consequences of not following God's original health laws)

Our bodies are to be the temple of the Holy Ghost, and we are not to treat them as we please. If we defile them, we will be naturally destroyed (1 Corinthians 3:16-17) (one of the ways we may defile our bodies is by what we eat and drink) (Daniel 1:8). We were bought with the blood of Jesus, therefore, our bodies are not our own, meaning we can't treat them any way we wish. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).

As a result, WE ARE NOT TO TATTOO OUR BODIES (Leviticus 19:28) (if we have done this, just ask for forgiveness, but don't do it anymore (1 John 1:9) (Tattooing causes medical conditions as well. Were you aware that a large percent of those who get tattooed come down with Hepatitis C.  HOW YOU MAY ASK? Because even though they change the needles, the ink is contaminated. It's like a back wash after doing a tattoo...the blood from the ink goes through the needle and some can get mixed into the ink inside the gun. A lot of people are unaware of this.

You see, YOU CANNOT SEPARATE GOD FROM TRUE HEALTH & HEALING. It's true. God is the designer of our bodies. (Psalms 139:13-14/Hebrews 10:5 "a body has thou prepared me") And He knows what is best for us.

God is the manufacturer of every human body. And his manufacture's guide is the Bible, and mankind is not to live without it (Matthew 4:4). If they do, they will truly reap their own ways. (Proverbs 14:12; Galatians 6:7)

We are told that the Bible brings healing (Matthew 8:16) (I know of deadly cases that walked out of hospitals 100% healed after being read the Bible).

All throughout the Bible it tells us how to have great health. God wants us to have health in BODY, SOUL, & SPIRIT (1 Thessalonians 5:23) And according to WHO (World Health Organization, this is what TRUE HEALTH IS) ...You see, most people are sick or dying from a sickness...And they that be whole need not a physician (Matthew 9:12) as Jesus tells us.

WHY ARE SO MANY SICK? Because they don't read the word & therefore they have no clue what brings true health. (Hosea 4:6)

Also, were you aware that helping others speeds up your recovery for health like nothing else in this world? (Isaiah 58:6-8)

WHY IS THIS? Because it is more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35).

By the way, God told us that in the last days (see Hosea 3:5-4:3), THE ANIMAL KINGDOM WOULD BE DYING FROM SICKNESS and disease, therefore, He is leading His people back to His original Diet, AND EVEN MEDICAL SCIENCE IS SAYING THAT THIS DIET IS THE BEST FOR HEALTH. A documentary called FORKS OVER KNIVES said this diet could reverse about 90% of ALL disease in America and around the world

HOW AMAZING IS THIS???
Here is the link:

Grains, fruits, nuts, and vegetables, in proper combination, contain all the elements of nutrition; and when properly prepared, they constitute the diet that best promotes both physical and mental strength.” {Ed 204.3}
(Therefore, if you eat fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, seeds every day, YOU DO NOT NEED A B-12 SHOT...Your body makes its own B-12 when all this food is consumed in 1 day).

So, if you want true health, don't skip out on reading the word every day. Follow all that is in here and if you have any questions, you may contact me as I am a Medical Missionary.

By God's grace, I DON'T SUFFER from pain, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. And it all goes to following God's Health Plan... THIS IS THE BEST HEALTH PLAN YOU COULD EVER BE ON.

P.S. If you or anyone you know is sick and would like to be put on a program that will bring positive results, then contact me. There are many people doing this work who are equipped to help you right where you are.
