Artificial flavors and colors, chemical additives, preservatives, pesticides, hormones, and drugs present in or on plant and animal foodstuffs are often, if not usually harmful to health.
READ LABELS. If you can't pronounce it, you probably shouldn't eat it.
Did you know that livestock is routinely sprayed or dipped into hazardous chemicals in an attempt to control pests and diseases inherent in foul factory farm environments? These same animals are also often fed manure, urine, contaminated fish products (pesticides and other toxins), animal feed produced by rendering-plants, and feed containing plants sprayed with pesticides. These chemicals stay in their tissues and are passed onto the consumer, if the chemicals don't kill the animals first. The higher up the food chain you go, the more concentrated the pesticides become. Flesh foods, eggs, milk, cheese, and other dairy products have high levels of pesticide residues. Therefore, don't be surprised that PEOPLE who eat animal products have even higher concentrations in their tissues.
