The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.
- Morpheus, The Matrix -
I wrote in an “accusatory article" how governments are trying to impoverish the agricultural field. The more they weaker farmers, the more we will be forced to eat what they want us to eat.
In Italy, some people have a common motto about the 4 white poisons: “cocaine, sugar, salt and white flour”.
You can bet about cocaine and that’s not a point here. Have you ever wondered why sugar is increasingly everywhere? It creates addiction because it stimulates the release of dopamine, also known as the “well-being hormone” as it regulates pleasure and satisfaction.
Salt is responsible for blood pressure increase and deposits in kidneys if, for example, we drink low quality water.
White flour is equivalent to pure sugar, as the germ of the wheat is finely milled making the fibre almost inconsistent and all the sugars immediately available creating a glycemic peak into the body. Have you ever noticed that after eating a dish of commercial pasta or bread, you feel tired and you like fall asleep? Here below the reason, with the comparison between a High Glycemic index and a low glycemic index
Here below, a chart (in Italian, but I hope it’s comprehensible), that presents also some measures and numbers.
So, we checked the 4 white poisons. And what about fruit and vegetables?
They are providing far less nutrients than in the past, especially the one coming from far far away that need to be harvested far before the readiness phase, making them maturing with hormones or being conserved into big fridges.
In the “pro-bono” project I am carrying on, many people are saying:
Hey, these oranges, lemons, almonds, honey have a completely different taste from the one I was used to! What have I eaten so far?
Moreover, many fruit and vegetables are simply harvested and sold when it’s not period for them: in Italy we find strawberries and melons during winter and fennel, oranges and lemons during summer.
Guyz, our body needs what it’s “in-season”. Citrus fruits are good four our body during winter as they create heat inside and they stimulate digestion BUT they are NOT suggested during summer because it’s already hot outside!
And yes, of course all the commercial drinks like Coke and similar, or many fruit juices are so loaded of sugar and prophylactics that they are closer to poisons than rather “beverages”.
In less than two weeks with an improvised idea about the “purchasing group” we have already moved more than 400€ of products. And counting.
Support local economy and support you individual (and collective) health.
It’s not enough having escaped some major danger in the recent years. Now it’s time to show that we really now how to deal with this Matrix.

Very interesting post!
I would say they are not four poisons, rather I would compare them to a form of "drug" also you in the post, assert that they are addictive.
Sugar is tremendously deleterious to our physique, as it is quickly assimilated and just as quickly burned off.
I am increasingly convinced that if we followed a less chemically refined diet, and in line with the seasons, many food intolerances would not exist.
I come to think of the human being as opposed to nature: for the former, time (thus waiting) is a nuisance, while for the latter, time is a necessary variable for creation.
Here's another one to be added to your white list: milk 😉
