Shalom and blessings to you my brothers and sisters in the Name of YESHUA the Son of YHWH!
Our modern society has been programmed to eat foods with artificial flavors, colorings, additives, hormones, and antibiotics. The world even eats foods titled “natural flavorings” and my question is if the food was already in a natural state then why does it have to be stated “natural flavor?” Natural flavorings encompasses a lot of things, but that is for a future blog Elohim willing. Sugar Shack donuts for example lists “artificial butter flavor” as one of their ingredients. I thought all butter was natural until I discovered that on the labels.
What we eat is very important because once we ingest it into our bodies it does not just disappear. The food you eat is digested and used for energy and healing, but if your body cannot recognize the substances you are putting into it then it is counter- productive and will cause problems in the future, which may not be immediate. I am sure everyone has heard the saying “you are what you eat” and the quote from Hippocrates “let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” Both of these saying are true because Elohim did not create us to eat food created in a laboratory by scientist who are trying to play Elohim’s role.
The world is full and sickness and disease, which in turn sends them to the doctor, the doctor then prescribes medication with multiple side effects, which sends you back to the doctor to treat that problem. The root of the problem is our diets, the world is eating unnatural foods made in a laboratory like sodas which have no nutrients at all. Corn syrup is an obvious problem in diets as it is not natural and our bodies do not know how to process it, but I would like to focus on a lesser known additive that is in almost everything today which is xanthan gum.
Xanthan gum is a food additive that is found in salad dressings, baked goods, gluten-free foods, fruit juices, soups, ice cream, sauces, gravies, syrups, breader, low-fat foods, toothpaste, lotions, creams, and shampoos. Have we ever noticed this ingredient listed on these products before? And what is it?
Xanthan gum is made from fermented sugar by a bacteria called Xanthomonas Campestris. And what is Xanthomonas Campestris? It’s a bacteria species that causes a variety of plant diseases, including “black rot” in cruciferous vegetables, plants, and turf grass. It is that disease that you will see eating a hole into the leaves of the plant causing it to die, turn black, and wither away. So my question is why would the FDA approve a “black rot” disease for human consumption?
Xanthan gum is an unnatural additive made by man and not The Elohim of Yisra’el. Psalms 104:14
“And plants for the service of mankind”
Genesis 1:29
“And Elohim said, “See, I have given you every plant that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed, to you it is for food.”
Elohim has already given us plants to heal us and for food, not rot eating bacteria science project artificial food for man-kind. Through eating His food and not man’s creation our bodies can begin to heal.
Revelation 22:2 says
“In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.”
YHWH and YESHUA’s creation is already perfect and He has given us natural food for us to eat which can also be found in Leviticus 11. Once we get rid of these artificial foods out of our diets and begin to eat foods that our bodies can recognize then we will truly see a difference. Say “NO” to xanthan gum and Elohim willing I will be covering more about herbs in another blog.
Blessings to you in YESHUA’S Name, Ahmein!
