Dangerous Ingredients: 54% of Food Sold at Walmart is Banned by
WholeFoods Market

Whole Foods maintains a list of Unacceptable Ingredients which
includes everything from MSG tohigh fructose corn syrup. It also
includes artificial colors, artificial preservatives, hydrogenated
fats,etc. You can see the whole list, updated periodically, here.
But did you know that about 54% ofthe products sold in stores like
Walmart would be banned from Whole Foods due tocontaining dangerous
ingredients? Check out the real differences below.
GMOS. While Whole Foods has yet to pull all GMO ingredients from
their store, they also partnerwith Non-GMO Verified Project to
offer numerous products that do not contain genetically
modifiedingredients, and they plan to eliminate products which
contain them by 2018. They are pervasive inour food supply so it is
very difficult to eliminate them, since they currently arent
required to belabeled as GMO by law.
Putting aside GMOs for the moment, how many of the groceries
sold at Walmart would never be stocked on Whole Foods shelves? The
78ingredients on their blacklist end up comprising over 54% of all
the foods sold in Walmart stores. Whats more, approximately 97% of
thesoft drinks/soda sold at Walmart contain ingredients that Whole
Foods considers unacceptable. High fructose corn syrup and
thepreservative sodium benzoate are primary culprits.
With its supercenters and over 3000 stores in the U.S., Walmart
feeds much ofAmerica. Actually, its the largest grocery store in
our country. Whole Foods, on theother hand, only has about 300
stores nationwide. Well be able to tell the overall
health-consciousness of the country based on how Whole Foods grows
in the coming years.
It is arguably cheaper to shop at Walmart in the short term,
because junk foods andfoods with ingredients that are questionable,
if not completely toxic, are still permitted bythe FDA, and thus
infiltrate our food supply. Walmart doesnt ban any of the foods
onWhole Foods blacklist. Just high fructose corn syrup alone is in
14% of the foods thestore lists on their website of over 19,900
food products available on average to theconsumer.
The Food Marketing Institute estimates that the average
supermarket stocks around42,000 items. Many of the foods that
Walmart sells, like soft drinks or junk food, areunsurprisingly
full of Whole Foods unacceptable ingredients, but even items like
watercontain ingredients like sucralose, calcium disodium, EDTA,
acesulfame potassium, andpotassium sorbate that would prohibit
their sale at Whole Foods.
Even Walmarts Great Value 100% Whole Wheat Bread contains seven
questionable ingredients: high fructose corn syrup, sodium
stearoyllactylate, ethoxylated diglycerides, DATEM,
azodicarbonamide, ammonium chloride, and calcium propionate.
If you were to roll your shopping cart through a Walmart store
that had eliminated all the foods it currently stocks which Whole
Foods does not, youwould go home hungry. The shelves would
practically be empty.
Walmart says their policy is to let consumers decide:
We serve more than 140 million customers per week in the United
States and we believe in giving our customers a wide assortment
ofgroceries so they can decide what is the best choice for their
family.
This means 140 million people have been duped into believing
that if they save a little cash now by purchasing processed,
nutrition-less junk, theycan feed their families. They have bought
into the lies that the FDA and food companies tell the world about
our food supply. These institutions do notpromote your health.
While people consume mercury, MSG, proven to cause headaches and
nausea in one dose (as well as obesity), high fructosecorn syrup,
which accounts for high-calorie, low nutrition foods, and other
preservatives which cause infertility, the food companies (and
somegrocery stores) are laughing all the way to the bank.
Aside from all this, Walmart has been fined repeatedly for
dumping toxins in our lakes and waterways to keep their prices so
low; even the sick anddying can shop there. America, wake up. Ditch
the death-dealing grocery chains and find better food. It may cost
you a little more now, but your life

is worth it, right? You can even eat organic on a budget.
Whole Foods is also not the only option. Dont shop for food
where you buy your toilet paper. There are other health-minded
grocery stores, farmersmarkets, and even low-cost co-operative that
sell healthful food that can feed your family. Organic Consumers
provides a list of 341 healthy foodstores by city and state. Many
organic and healthful food options have been around since the 70s
and earlier. We just havent heard about thembecause we are
conscientiously trying to save a dollar while feeding our families,
and weve bought into the idea of convenience.
Since our legislators wont listen to us, our government agencies
in charge of protecting the food supply are corrupt, and most
stores are workingbased on the free market, vote with your dollar.
I challenge you to shop at least once this week somewhere besides
Walmart, and see how manyamazing foods you can make for your family
to enjoy.
