Do you know what IBS is? IBS stands for Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Also known as spastic colon. Irritable Bowel Syndrome can be caused by many foods but there is one type of food in particular that I believe is so popular, and happens to be the main cause of IBS.
Canned Foods is said to be the main cause of IBS. Think about how popular canned foods are in todays society. Whenever churchs or schools want to help out the poor they donate canned foods. Yes people are doing this for a good cause but in reality it could be hurting people. Their bodies may not be funtioning normally, now not only from being so hungry and not being able to eat but also from eating the wrong food. Also, not many people grow vegetables anymore it is just easier to buy the can and heat it up. The healthier choice of course would be to grow vegetables but who is going to take the time to do that?? Instead just be aware of problems with canned foods. It really isn't worth the risk of getting majorly sick in the long run.
Not to mention this type of disease can not be derived from an infection. It's very hard to pinpoint and find its exact location. I just want everyone to be aware of this and if excessive symptoms continue people are aware of this issue.
dear junco,
ReplyDeletei've heard of IBS, but i never knew what caused it. I'm sure all of our pantries at home are full of canned foods: soups, vegetables, fruits, etc. I wonder how many cans in the US are contaminated and cause IBS? I hope it's not a lot, because the majority of Americans eat from cans!
You also made a good point. When we donate, it's always "non perishable" items. Maybe we should re think that if it's a possible cause of a disease.
great post, thanks for writing!
