If you
are going to eat hot dogs or other processed meats
once in awhile, there are a few considerations that may help you reduce
your risk of adverse health affects. Again, these options are not ideal
as these meats
are still processed, but the following
guidelines will ensure you are consuming a product that is better for
you than the vast majority of processed meats on the market:
- Look for “uncured” varieties that contain NO nitrates
- Choose varieties that say 100 percent beef, 100 percent chicken,
etc. This is the only way to know that the meat is from a single species
and does not include byproducts
- Avoid any meat that contains MSG, high-fructose corn syrup, preservatives, artificial flavor, or artificial color
- Ideally, purchase sausages and other processed meats from a small,
local farmer that makes those products right on the farm, whom you can
ask about the ingredients ***Read full article here***
Animal products kill. Period. The less you eat of milk, cheese and meat the less incidence of disease. The more you eat, the more disease. Case closed.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a kid we sometimes had hot dogs for a celebratory or casual meal ~ back in the 1950's.
ReplyDelete25 years ago I met a woman who had once worked in a factory making hot dogs. This is not a form of meat I ever liked but hearing the original colours of the mush that became fillers of the tube... UGH.
And "kosher dogs" just ain't an option.
I would agree that most animal products kill except for fish.
ReplyDeleteChristian, considering the condition of our environment, fish is off my diet as well. I have not had a salmon feed since a few days after Fukushima, knowing then that it was my last meal of the stuff. Shrimp and bottom feeders? Ugh, kinda like eating factory beef liver ~ the mind boggles at what lies contained therein.
