Did you know that due to modern day argricultural practices there is a myriad of harmful, dangerous TOXINS looming in many of the foods you eat every single day?
I'm talking about chemical pesticides and herbicides used on crops, contaminated sewage sludge used as "fertilizer" during the growing process, and meats and dairy products from animals treated with dangerous hormones and antibiotics.
It's a shocking reality that is destroying our food supply, turning otherwise thought-to-be nutritious food items into remnants of toxic waste.
Let's dive a bit deeper into just how dangerous and toxic these agricultural practices are:
1. The pesticides and herbacides used to treat fruits, vegetables, and many other crops are known to be exceptionally toxic to humans, many of which have been linked to serious adverse health effects, disease, and even birth defects.
In fact, some of the pesticides found in the foods you eat daily are flat out BANNED by the United States, but these dangerous chemicals still make their way into the U.S. food supply through imported food items riddled with residues of these banned substances.
2. More than 28 MILLION pounds of sewage sludge is produced per year, and instead of finding safer, more expensive ways to deal with this toxic waste, the government has resorted to a rather inexpensive solution -- reuse it as "plant fertilizer".
This toxic sludge is comprised of human waste, industrial waste, and upwards of 60,000 toxic chemicals such as asbestos, dioxins, and toxic heavy metals...and it's being used to FERTILIZE the fruits, vegetables, and crops that YOU place to your lips every day. A rather disturbing actuality to say the least, and one that is certainly not in the best interested of the American people.
3. Regular ingestion of meat and dairy products derived from animals treated with dangerous growth hormones like rBGH has recently been shown to be a significant risk factor for prostrate and breast cancer.
On the same note, continual ingestion of meat and dairy products from animals treated with antibiotics has been shown to kill off the healthy, beneficial bacteria in the intestines while contributing to the colonization of health-destroying, toxic bacteria within the gut.
The above problems within our food supply are NO JOKE, and your #1 safeguard is to choose organic meats, fruits, and vegetables whenever possible.
At the same time, we are well aware that eating a 100% organic diet is expensive and out of reach for many folks, and for some it may only be possible to choose organic meats and produce some of the time.
In this case, we recommend another solution:
