7 Toxic Foods

The full article.

1. Canned Tomatoes - BPA in the can liner and the acidity of the tomatoes leads to leaching into the food itself.

2. Corn-fed beef - cows are meant to graze on grass not eat corn, which makes their guts so acidic that they develop ulcers and other ailments. Corn-fed beef also has lower levels of omega-3s and other nutrients.

3. Microwave popcorn - the bag itself releases toxic chemicals when microwaved. You should avoid nuking food in general as it denatures the molecular structure of the food itself and possibly makes it difficult for your body to absorb, not to mention deleterious effects of the radiation.

4. Nonorganic potatoes - root vegetables absorb the herbicides and pesticides sprayed on them.

5. Farmed salmon - they are fed an unnatural diet, plus all the pesticides and antibiotics used on them are introduced to your own system.

6. Milk containing rBGH or rBST - these hormones increase milk production but also increases pus in the udders and thus the milk. It's consumption also increases the cancer risk in humans.

7. Nonorganic apples - sprayed with pesticides more than most if not all other fruits. Also, people tend to eat the skin, which contains the pesticides. If you peel it then you are losing out on valuable urosolic acid, which promotes muscle growth and prevents muscle catabolism.
