Neurotoxic
Ingredient in Baking Powder
Aluminum is the neurotoxic ingredient in baking powder that
kills neurons in the brain
If you are
using aluminum-free baking powder in your business,
I want
to thank you!
Here is information as to why it is so important to bake
with aluminum-free baking powder.
A daily diet of pancakes, waffles, muffins, or biscuits
increases the risk of Alzheimer’s 760%. This is because most commercial baking powder
contains sulfate, phosphate, and pyrophosphate salts of aluminum used to
acidify baking soda during baking. (Rogers,M.A.M. and Simon, D.G.; Age and
Ageing; 28:205-9 (1999))
Dennis N Crouse has written a book Prevent Alzheimer's Autism and Stroke with 7 Supplements, 7 Lifestyle Choices and a Dissolved mineral. His mother-in law has Alzheimer’s. Dr. Crouse has used his PhD in chemistry from Harvard University to research ways
to help his mother. What he learned
after reviewing the scientific literature for several years shocked him and
gave him hope. Aluminum salts are a cause
of Alzheimer’s and Autism so these diseases can be prevented. Dennis and his wife Laurie Adamson have also made You Tube videos (Brain Fitness in the Aluminum Age) in order to share the information Dennis learned.
Muffins
and other baked goods made with aluminum containing baking powder are beyond
TOXIC for your brain!!!! For instance Laurie has unknowingly been preparing pumpkin
muffins with 20 mg of aluminum per
muffin. Her delicious
pumpkin muffin when made with baking powder containing aluminum has 200 times higher aluminum levels than the
safe aluminum level in a quart of drinking water.
A little bit of aluminum every day can lead to a large
amount of accumulated aluminum in the brain.
It is estimated that 4% of the aluminum you ingest today will still be
in your body 50 years later.
Aluminum-free baking powder is available. Dennis did a cost analysis and found switching to aluminum-free baking powder increases the cost of one muffin by less than a penny. There are several aluminum-free baking powders. You can also make aluminum-free baking powder with 1 part baking soda, 2 parts cream of tartar, and 1 part corn starch.
Food dyes are another
source of aluminum. An aluminum salt of the
colorant is used to make dyes called aluminum lakes and in some cases colorants
are combined with alumina (a.k.a. aluminum oxide). Because of aluminum
corrosion, baking in an aluminum pan also adds aluminum to the baked good.
