So how many food products contain petroleum based chemicals?

Here's an interesting question... So how many do you think?? I really don't know but let's see if we can at least get a general idea..

Here is a list of ten items containing petrol that enter or come in contact with your body.

1. Packaged baked goods often contain petroleum as a way of keeping them ‘fresh’ and mould free. While regular flour, water, egg, milk and sugar combinations go bad relatively quickly, mineral oil keeps them at their prime for weeks.

2. Some chocolates are made with petroleum by-products. You’ll see this labelled as food-grade paraffin wax.

3. Any product that contains Olestra is also a cause for concern. It’s an indigestible plastic with similar properties to mineral oil.

4. TBHQ aka “tert-Butylhydroquinone” is a major cause for concern as it’s found in a myriad of products. From frozen chicken nuggets and pizzas to rice crackers and cookies, supermarkets are brimming with TBHQ.

5. Petroleum derived products are commonly used in a kaleidoscope of food colourings. These are added to everything from corn chips to fresh apples.

6. They may not necessarily be classified as ‘edibles’ but painkillers and vitamins are often packed full of petrochemicals. They contain acetylsalicylic acid, the active ingredient in a multitude of over the counter painkillers such as aspirin.
Food additives can also be packed full of petroleum. Canned products are a particular concern as oil is used to extend their shelf lives.

Here is another source with a breakdown of the amount of petrol products found in your food. make no mistake that petrol products are one of the leading causes of cancer in this country.

Attorney General of NY Barbara D. Underwood

Health effects from exposure to petroleum products vary depending on the concentration of the substance and the length of time that one is exposed. Breathing petroleum vapors can cause nervous system effects (such as headache, nausea, and dizziness) and respiratory irritation. Very high exposure can cause coma and death. Liquid petroleum products which come in contact with the skin can cause irritation and some can be absorbed through the skin. Chronic exposure to petroleum products may affect the nervous system, blood and kidneys. Gasoline contains small amounts of benzene, a known human carcinogen. Animals exposed to high levels of some petroleum products have developed liver and kidney tumors. Whether specific petroleum products can cause cancer in humans is not known; however, there is evidence that occupationally exposed people in the petroleum refining industry have an increased risk of skin cancer and leukemia.6

NCBI Cancer causing products

Studies in humans and animals have shown that gasoline contains a number of cancer-causing and toxic chemicals such as 1,3-butadiene, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes, isoparaffins, methyltert-butylether, and others. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) in its Monograph Supplement 7 (1987) concludes that "in the absence of adequate data on humans, it is biologically plausible and prudent to regard agents for which there is sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals as if they present a carcinogenic risk to humans."

This is one of my favorite podcast and they do a great job of breaking down where a lot of these petrol products come from and what families are behind it. Mainly J.P. Morgan and Rockefeller. That should come as no surprise to you.

There are a lot of bad things in fragrances of all kinds. But time you are exposed to them is relevant. Many of them alter our consciousness somewhat. They can block our ability to think correctly and some act to stimulate hormone production in your body.

That is contained in the dietary changes and also somewhat in the fragrances. Some people can load up with perfume or cologne and it does not effect them, but that smell effects half the people around them and it causes them to not think so clearly which makes them unable to challenge the people wearing those fragrances. So in a work setting, those people who can quickly detox the fragrances will climb to the top stepping on others by blocking their ability to think along the way.

Perfumes and fragrances can be use to control the ability of others.

Food choices can either make you nervous or can cause you not to be able to think correctly.

Some foods work with the fight and flight system to disrupt a person. Others stimulate dopamine production or adjust neurochemistry and enzyme pathways. Avoid things they call superfoods nowadays, except things like coffee which they now refer to as a super food. But coffee is not for everyone, some people have problems with it. NOT ME though

There are some pretty toxic chemistries in dentures, it is not just the creams. Also, the top plate blocks some ducts that help with digestion. We have been conditioned to think some things are normal but they disrupt our health. If a person or any animal consumes too much food or chemistry that is slowly poisoning it, stuff we call GRAS sometimes, It causes the teeth to push up a little and then they crack or break when eating. It is called erupting. That leads to a lot of dental bills and pain. Identifying which plant defense system chemicals trigger it in your body is not easy, some chemicals created by eating aged food utilizing a microbe who's micotoxins you cannot properly detox can also cause that. These things are the basis of many medicines too and some supplements and a lot of food additives. Microbes make alcohol, they make medicines too.

Your list mentions milk. I've been working with milk for almost 16 years. Never used that stuff. No need.

Yeah it's called stupidity.

We can almost assume 100% of foods contain petroleum based products if microplastics are in the water supply.
