We try as best we can to avoid, but must still be wary of what I call the bad boys and serial killers.
Genetically modified crops, foods heavily sprayed with pesticides and herbicides, meat full of antibiotics and hormones, and air and water pollution continuously assault our bodies.
Most homes, schools, and offices are built with chemically treated lumber and materials, and decorated with carpets and furniture treated with toxic chemicals. Even the flimsy receipt from the supermarket is treated with a toxic chemical linked to cancer. Our lives are filled with electronic devices that contain toxic heavy metals and have screens that emit eye-damaging blue light.
Processed foods and products may be convenient, but even the healthy ones can contain chemicals linked to everything from cancer to allergies, including hyperactivity, autism, and tumors, according to researchers at the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI).
Common preservatives are linked to liver and kidney damage, growth retardation, and cancer.
The worst part is that food manufacturers are mainly self-regulating. As consumers, we’re left to trust the food conglomerates of America to decide our food safety without oversight. Foods bearing the phrase “natural flavors,” for example, can contain toxins that can harm your health, yet most people see that deceiving phrase and believe the product is good for them.
