In my opinion, this is a “must read” article on 10 things the food industry doesn’t want us to know. Half the things on the shelves or vending machines are simply not good for the body, and the more we avoid them the greater the protection we offer to ourselves and our children.

According to Dr. Mercola, some energy drinks contain the equivalent caffeine of 14 cans of Coca-Cola. The problem is this information is often unlabeled, and few include warnings about the potential health risks of caffeine intoxication.
