Food / Re: A Natural Fat Burning Food by BlackSeedOil(m): 7:32am On Sep 18

A herbalist is not a witch doctor. There is nothing demonic about herbalism. Even in heaven, plants are used for healing-Revelations 22:2. Africans should not denounce herbalism because of Islam or Christianity. There is hardly any disease that herbs cannot cure.

Read Genesis 1:29. God created man to eat herbs. Most sickness on Earth occurs because we have shifted from this divine diet to eating all kinds of orishirishi foods that put pressure on our bodies. Herbalism restores the sacred balance in your body by resetting you to your factory setting. Prophets in Scripture regularly practiced herbalism 2 Kings 4:39. African herbalism is not evil. Embrace it.

If you have ever had malaria and taken herbs as a remedy, or had psoriasis, eczema, or other skin problems and used ose dudu (AKA dudu osun), you would never call herbalism evil. African herbs are potent. They form the basic foundation of modern pharmaceuticals. In other words, they are organic medicine, while big pharma is GMO medicine.

Our universities should be offering degree courses on traditional African herbalism. There is a reason why our ancestors lived longer and stronger lives than we do.

But today's young men and women are visiting fertility clinics and managing cancer and other terminal diseases issues in alarming numbers. Why did our ancestors live longer and more sexually fulfilled lives?

It is because they never ingested chemical pharmacopoeia. They had chewing sticks for oral health and used eti-erin (aloe vera) as an antibacterial while using kaolin for their digestive health. They equally used ewe asunwon (cassia alata or senna alata) as an antiviral medication.

They cured impotence with the dregs of palm wine and by consuming unripe plantains, amongst other things.

We should not let these ancient wisdoms die out. Neither should we be ashamed of them. These are African botanicals, and we should be proud of them.

*THE RISE OF FOOD ALLERGIES: Are We Allergic to Food or Its Modern Alterations?*

Food allergies have been on the rise globally over the past few decades, prompting scientists, healthcare professionals, and consumers alike to ask an important question: Are we allergic to food itself, or to what has been done to it? As food production has evolved, there has been a dramatic shift in the way our food is grown, processed, and packaged. Genetically modified organisms (GMOs), artificial preservatives, and chemical additives have become common in modern food. But do these alterations play a role in the increasing incidence of food allergies? In this article, we explore the relationship between food allergies, GMOs, and food processing.

*The Growing Prevalence of Food Allergies*
Food allergies are an abnormal immune response to certain proteins found in foods. When a person with a food allergy consumes an allergenic protein, their immune system misidentifies it as harmful, releasing chemicals like histamines that cause symptoms ranging from mild reactions (such as itching or swelling) to severe anaphylaxis, a potentially life-threatening condition.

The prevalence of food allergies, especially in children, has grown significantly. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), food allergies among children increased by 50% between 1997 and 2011.

*The most common food allergens include:*

Peanuts
Tree nuts
Milk
Eggs
Wheat
Soy
Fish and shellfish

While food allergies have likely existed for centuries, the rapid rise in cases over the past few decades has led to concerns that modern food production methods may be exacerbating this trend.

*What Are GMOs?*

Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are plants, animals, or microorganisms that have had their genetic material altered in a laboratory using genetic engineering techniques. The purpose of this modification is often to enhance certain desirable traits, such as increased resistance to pests, tolerance to herbicides, or improved nutritional content. While GMOs are widely used in agriculture, they have become a point of contention due to concerns about their long-term health and environmental effects.

The most common GMO crops in the United States include:

Corn: Genetically modified to resist pests and tolerate herbicides.
Soybeans: Engineered for herbicide resistance.
Canola: Modified to produce oils with improved nutritional profiles.
Cotton: Developed to be pest-resistant.
Sugar beets: Engineered to be herbicide-tolerant.
These crops, or derivatives from them, can be found in countless processed foods, from breakfast cereals to snack bars and even baby formula. Since GMOs were introduced into the food supply in the mid-1990s, concerns have arisen about their potential link to food allergies.

*The Connection Between GMOs and Food Allergies*

One of the major questions surrounding GMOs is whether the genetic alterations made to crops are contributing to the rise in food allergies. The concern stems from the fact that genetic modification introduces foreign proteins into crops, which could potentially trigger allergic reactions.

While there is no conclusive scientific evidence linking GMO consumption to an increase in food allergies, some studies have raised red flags. For instance:

Bt corn, a genetically modified corn that produces its own pesticide (Bacillus thuringiensis, or Bt), was found to cause immune system responses in some animal studies, leading to questions about whether it could trigger similar reactions in humans.

A genetically modified soybean developed in the 1990s that incorporated a Brazil nut protein was found to cause allergic reactions in individuals with Brazil nut allergies. The project was ultimately abandoned due to these findings, but it raised concerns about the potential allergenicity of GMO crops.
While regulatory agencies like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) conduct allergenicity assessments on new GMOs before they are approved, critics argue that the long-term effects of consuming GMOs are still largely unknown.

*Processed Foods and Hidden Allergens*

Beyond GMOs, the industrial processing of food has introduced a variety of new chemicals, preservatives, and additives that may be contributing to the rise in food allergies. Highly processed foods often contain:

- Artificial preservatives:

Chemicals like sodium benzoate, nitrates, and sulfites are used to extend the shelf life of products, but some of these additives have been linked to allergic reactions or intolerances.

- Food colorings and dyes:

Certain artificial colors, such as tartrazine (Yellow #5), have been implicated in allergic-like reactions and hypersensitivity, particularly in children.

- Hydrogenated oils and trans fats:

These are used in many processed foods to improve texture and shelf stability. Though not directly linked to food allergies, they have been associated with inflammation and other health issues that may exacerbate allergic conditions.

- Emulsifiers and thickeners:

Ingredients like carrageenan, lecithin, and guar gum are commonly added to processed foods to improve texture or consistency. Some of these additives may irritate the gut or contribute to inflammatory responses, which could influence food sensitivities or allergies.
Processed foods also often contain traces of allergens due to cross-contamination during manufacturing. For example, a cereal labeled as “nut-free” might still contain trace amounts of peanuts due to shared processing equipment, making it difficult for individuals with severe allergies to avoid accidental exposure.

The Hygiene Hypothesis

Another theory proposed to explain the rise in food allergies is the hygiene hypothesis. This theory suggests that as modern societies have become more hygienic and urbanized, our immune systems are not exposed to the same variety of bacteria, viruses, and parasites that our ancestors encountered. As a result, the immune system may become “hyperactive,” leading to allergic responses to otherwise harmless substances like food proteins.

Increased use of antibiotics, sanitized environments, and reduced exposure to natural microbes could all contribute to this phenomenon. Some researchers believe that changes in the gut microbiome—a community of bacteria that plays a critical role in immune regulation—may be a key factor in the development of food allergies. Certain food processing methods, such as the use of antibiotics in animal farming or the inclusion of artificial ingredients in processed foods, could potentially alter the balance of bacteria in the gut, making individuals more susceptible to allergies.

*The Role of Pesticides and Chemicals in Food Allergies*

Chemical residues from pesticides and herbicides, particularly in conventionally grown produce, have also been suggested as possible contributors to food allergies. Glyphosate, the active ingredient in many herbicides, has been under scrutiny for its potential health impacts. Some studies have suggested that glyphosate may affect gut bacteria, which in turn could influence the development of allergies.

Increased use of pesticides and herbicides has led to more frequent exposure to these chemicals through our food and water supply. While regulatory bodies set limits on pesticide residues in food, there is growing concern that cumulative exposure to these chemicals could play a role in the rising incidence of food-related sensitivities and allergies.

*Conclusion:*

Food or the Way It’s Altered?
So, are we becoming allergic to food itself, or to what has been done to it? The answer is complex and likely involves a combination of factors. While some people may be inherently allergic to specific food proteins, the industrialization of food production—through the introduction of GMOs, pesticides, artificial additives, and extensive processing—may be exacerbating the problem.

The increase in food allergies could be partially attributed to changes in the way food is grown, processed, and consumed. However, it is important to note that there is no definitive scientific consensus linking GMOs or food processing methods directly to food allergies. More research is needed to fully understand the relationship between modern food production techniques and the rise in food allergies.

For now, it is essential for consumers to stay informed about the ingredients in their food and to make choices that align with their health needs and concerns. Understanding what’s in our food—and how it is produced—can help us navigate the increasingly complex landscape of modern food and its potential impacts on our health
