Methylparaben

 

Methylparaben

1906 Pure Food and Drug Act. 

The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) of 1938

The FDA established regulations for nutrition labeling in 1973. 

The Nutrition Labeling and Education Act of 1990

     I confess to be a nutrition label reader.  Right there in the bread aisle, I’m in a frozen stance wondering what the chemicals will do to me.  Approved by a governmental authority for this food substance to enter my body, I trust? 

     America would not have its citizens be ignorant.  Furnished with info to make logical decisions, we grab from the shelf and throw them in our trunks.  Home finds groceries to the counter and into the fridge.  At mealtimes, we assemble as in a chem lab.  Great synthesizers, we combine ingredients to cook up, lasagna?

      After shoving foods down the stack, our stomachs wonder in disbelief.  It is commanded to ramp up acid breaking down complex molecules into blood friendly substances to be distributed abroad.  It has no say so.  A simple cooker renders our delightful combinations into a gray slurry.  Everything is considered game until these manufactured chemicals come on down

     Cancer is a big no, no.  Methylparaben is a preservative.  Prolonging shelf stability, it wins its award and flies under the wire to our mouths.  However, my question stands… When chemicals such as these are mixed and heated in our kitchens, do they react forming new compounds?

     So, I stand in the aisle.  I take a little more time.  If the label looks freaky, I look for another suitable substitute.  Shelf stable bacon?  Haven't tried it.

     The pure Word I have not turned from.  Even when its interpretation was questionable, I trusted the overlooking of the benevolent Father.  Put not your faith in man.  He is able to fail.  God, on the other hand, does not rely on congress to pass His bills of health.  Bon Appetit!

Sojourning

  Sojourning Sojourn: a temporary stay Hebrews 11: 8  “ By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. 9  By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country , dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 10  For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. ”      This indeed is a strange place.   I call my house T.L.A. or Temporary Living Accommodations.   In the Air Force, TLA housed those who were just passing through.   Like airman using the base as a skipping stone to get to their next assignment.   Hotels of sorts, they offered the comforts of home on a smaller scale.      We are a people set in Babylon.   Even in Sodom as we shut the doors as night.   This world so interferes wit...

The Church Picture

  The Church Picture 2 Samiuel 6: 20  “ Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself! 21  And David said unto Michal, It was before the  Lord , which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the  Lord , over Israel: therefore will I play before the  Lord . 22  And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour. ” Revelation 4: 10  “ The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11  Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive ...

God's Successive Revelations

  God’s Successive Revelations Search Me diligently, and I will reveal Myself to you.      Yah, that sound like something God would say.   I understand He revealed the Trinity to us.   I plead ignorance in Church history.   Some theologians, perhaps 400 A.D. came upon this gem that we hold true today.   The idea of the rapture is new on the Church radar.   Late 1800’s?      What if God revealed His truth to His people in time?   Surely, Solomon was the wisest man in his day, but did he know about Pentecost?   Daniel, the far seer, was only shown glimpses.   What did he know of Peter and miracles in the temple?   A certain king discovered God’s truth again and that made for a reformation, but what did he know of the beast standing in the sea?   God gives insight in His time.      I have trained seven children.   As young  children, I did not flood them with...
