Sundance Global Food Quality Review

Posted by Nutrition Dude on October 1, 2010

A number of prior business associates presented Sundance Global to me. Setting aside the outstanding pre-launch marketing materials and overall concept, for me the bottom line comes from the quality of the food.

I read nutritional labels. I understand nutritional processes and ingredients. The compensation plans associated with companies mean nothing to me if the product they are expecting our customers to eat are inferior and/or loaded with preservatives or high amounts of sodium and other harmful ingredients.

The premise of Sundance Global is based upon emergency food storage. And, in participating as a Sundance Global business associate, you will be paid in food and cash for selling product and signing up new distributors.

Emergency food storage is a good thing. With potential terrorism, martial law, natural disasters, asteroids, nuclear accidents and electromagnetic bursts from the sun that could shut down out grids, we need to have at least 90 days of emergency food and water. You would need at least a two year supply to survive an Apocalypse.

The concept of food storage is quite prevalent in churches, specifically the Mormon Church. It’s a great idea. I do it.

But with emergency food storage we really need to look at the quality of the food.

Generally the primary method of food storage is freeze dried. Add some 5 gallon buckets of rice and beans with plenty of water storage and you have the whole package.

The problem is freeze drying is a heat process and much of the enzymes and phytonutrients of freeze dried fruits and veggies are dead. This is why it is a good idea to have a powdered fruit and veggie blend that has not been freeze dried so that you can be assured of receiving the nutrients of 5 to 9 servings of fruits and veggies per day.

After reviewing the product line it is my opinion while I may survive on this food storage system, I would want to make sure I had a cardiologist with me to treat me for heart disease.

The sodium and disodium levels are way above average. A few of the products have more saturated fat then I am willing to put in my body.

It looks like most of the product line is freeze dried. Most of you have no clue what freeze drying actually is. You have heard you are not supposed to overcook your veggies? 117 degrees at three minutes kills half of the naturally occurring enzymes in fruits and veggies. Freeze drying is a process that takes place in a vacuum chamber for THREE DAYS and an average temp over the ezymatic kill point. HELLO?

My bottom line opinion on Sundance Global…

The product line is complete garbage, is unhealthy and the company is earning an income on the fears of church going people.

One word…

HYPE!
