KRISPY KREME DONUTS UNDER FIRE OVER ULTRA-PROCESSED INGREDIENTS AND HEALTH CONCERNS

Americans routinely buy a dozen donuts at Krispy Kreme, but critics are warning about what’s inside. The Original Glazed donut is considered ultra-processed, with each donut containing about 190 calories, 11g of fat, 5g saturated fat, and roughly 20% sugar by weight. Ingredients include enriched wheat flour, palm and soybean oils, sugar, yeast, soy flour, egg yolks, dough conditioners like mono- and diglycerides, cellulose gum, maltodextrin, preservatives, and natural and artificial flavors. Concerns focus on refined and bleached flour stripped of fiber, seed and palm oils labeled by critics as inflammatory, artificial colors like Red 40 in flavored varieties, GMO-derived components, and added emulsifiers and preservatives used to extend shelf life. Health advocates argue consumers should be fully aware of what they’re eating before making it a daily habit.

Most conventional cleaning products contain compounds that disrupt hormones, irritate the respiratory system, and accumulate in your body over time.

The good news is the alternatives work just as well and cost less.

Here is what to replace them with:
- All-purpose cleaner: white vinegar diluted with water and a few drops of tea tree oil.
- Glass cleaner: diluted white vinegar with a splash of rubbing alcohol.
- Scrubbing paste: baking soda mixed with a little castile soap.
- Laundry: fragrance-free detergent without optical brighteners or synthetic scents.
- Air freshener: open a window, diffuse essential oils, or simmer lemon and herbs on the stove.

A clean home does not require toxic chemicals.

Just in time for Hanta psyop

People who cook at home more than five times per week consume significantly fewer calories, less sugar, less sodium, and fewer ultra-processed ingredients than those who rely primarily on restaurant or packaged food.

But the benefit is not just nutritional.

Cooking at home puts you in control of your oil, your salt, your portion size, and your ingredients. It slows you down. It connects you to your food in a way that drive-through windows cannot.

It is also one of the most powerful acts of self-care available to anyone at any income level.

This Saturday evening, cook something real.

A simple protein. Some roasted vegetables. A drizzle of good olive oil. Sea salt.

Meteorologists say this El Niño could be the strongest since the 1870s, when everything from famine to epidemics wreaked havoc around the world.

Hmmmmmm. With all the weather manipulation taking place...
