The U.S. Agriculture Department and independent research companies and
organizations have reported that there are high amounts of pesticides and
other pollutants on and in our foods. Tomatoes, strawberries, peaches,
spinach, turnips, squash and many other foods can have as much as 80 to 100
different pollutants, especially pesticides, on or in them. Peanuts have over
180 pollutants, and raisins can have over 110.
As you read the potential and known side effects of pesticides, ask
yourself if you’re really in favor of Bio-Tech Engineering—whereby
pesticides are genetically placed into the seeds of our foods. This means, of
course, that pesticide residues will be in the foods themselves, and that we
will have no way to remove them. Pesticides are like sulfur drugs, they have a
cumulative effect. Once reaching toxic and deadly proportions they cause
allergy reactions, inflammation, excessive immune responses and
neurological failure.
TOXIC CHEMICALS
The following contains examples of everyday toxins that you “consume”
through your foods, water, cosmetics, toothpaste, underarm deodorants, and
other products. These are just a few of the extremely toxic chemicals that
have been manufactured and released into our environment and food supply.
Aluminum (chlorohydrates, etc.)
Found in: Underarm deodorants, canned foods, industry, cooking
utensils, etc.
Properties: Suspected brain and nerve damage, suspected in Alzheimer’s
and other brain and nerve syndromes. May affect the endocrine
gland system, especially the pituitary.Aspartame (NutraSweet®, Equal®)
Found in: Diet drinks (soda, etc.), candies desserts, many prepackaged
foods, etc.
Properties: Artificial (low calorie) sweeteners. Known carcinogen
excitotoxin (neurotoxin) affects brain and nervous system as well as
