Dangers of Processed Foods
By Tony Elliott / Divine Caroline
In today’s society, it seems a new disease is discovered weekly. Since bacteria and viruses continually mutate themselves to become immune to whatever drug we use to fight them, it is not surprising to find drug resistant strains of bacteria such as salmonella, which has cropped up recently in peanut butter.
It is a constant battle between medical science and the microscopic world of germs in the sense that when we come up with a drug that will kill a certain bacterium, the germ as a whole will almost immediately begin to develop immunity to the drug.Antibiotics are the most widely used in fighting diseases and the easiest for germs to acquire immunities against.
Hormones are another helping hand to the bacteria and virus community in the fact that they cause the body to react in similar fashion to steroids, therefore diminishing the body’s immune system and making it more susceptable to disease.
Thus, we know that the overuse of antibiotics and steroids can act to build up the immune system of germs, while at the same time weakening the human immune system.
