I just watched a few documentaries on Netflix, one of them called "Hungry for Change". What are they putting in our food?! I thought I was avoiding unhealthy/nutrient-less food. Now they're hiding MSG in other terms? Anything “hydrolyzed”, yeast food, soy and whey protein, and more. Or labeling food to read nutritious, but far from the truth? Like blueberry pomegranate Total cereal; seems like something healthy, however, it has no blueberries or pomegranates just chemicals. I'm traumatized. Clean eating means something completely different to me now.
What does this mean about my protein powder, BCAA powder, glutamine supplements, and pre workout powder? Are these harmful? Looking for some food therapy.

Truth is, unless you pull it out of the earth or kill it yourself it's hard to find foods without SOMETHING done to them. I personally equate 'clean' eating to the foods around the outside of the supermarket that go bad after a week...
As for supplements... they're man made. Everything comes with risks and most aren't FDA approved... useful? I think so... but could just be media propogating that mindset....0 -
This is why there are labels on food packages. Read them.0

You could look these ingredients up because nothing you've mention is actually unhealthy. Fear of the unknown maybe.0

Put the tin foil hats away and just focus on tracking your food and exercising. People get caught up in this nonsense as a way to creatively avoid doing the hard work.0

One of the reasons I don't do pre/post work out powders like the ones you mention is all of the ingredients in them. I do not eat 100% clean but I cannot make it right in my head to drink something that 99% of the ingredients I cannot pronounce.0

What if I told you...everything is made up of chemicals?0

But vitamins are magic pills because chiropractors and homeopaths sell them . . .0 -

I love these. I saw one for an orange before, but haven't seen these. I need to save them.

After all I've been reading and watching, I agree with you. I workout 4-5 times a week, all weight training. The workout powders were helpful to get to the next level, but now I'm not so sure they are good for my body in the long term.0 -

EVen worse, they've been hiding Dihydrogen Monoxide and Hydrogen Hydroxide in our drinks for YEARS!
This stuff is deadly. Really deadly.
as little as a tablespoon can kill.0 -
Eat vegetables, eggs, meat, fish, fruit, beans, nuts, and olive oil and you'll be fine.0
