Why Your Food Is Killing You (Part 1)
October 14th, 2008 · Filed Under: Abs Nutrition
Did you know that a lot of foods you eat are covered in toxic substances?
Remember back in the day when you were told to not eat an apple with a worm hole in it?
Well what if your apple contained pesticides? Would you eat it?
Well some apples and other foods DO contain pesticides, and you’re probably eating them.
What about organic foods? Are they safer?
They may be, but a lot of people don’t buy organic foods because
1) they perceive organic foods to be too expensive (this isn’t always the case). But isn’t your body and your health worth paying a dollar more for organic apples?
Heck you probably spend $5 almost every day at Starbucks as it is.
2) People think that pesticides are safe. Otherwise they’d be banned.
Not so fast. Smoking is not banned, but is it safe? Heck no!
The reality is that a lot of your foods contain pesticides and they may lead to cancer and other harmful diseases.
We’ll explore this next.
Until then….
Have an amazing day.

I agree with the concern of pesticides in our food supply however with proper washing I wouldn’t allow the concern to stop anyone from eating correctly. I am not swapping pre-packaged crap for my ripe and juicy fruit and vegetables.

Scott;
This is one of my favourite subjects as people are not aware or choose not to believe that our foods have the potential to make us sick unless we choose to take action!!Pesticides & chemicals are put on our foods each & every day..That was one reason why I was in a wheelchair for three months and sick for three years..from a toxic overload-today because of my awareness I help people to become aware..thanks for bringing it up!!Helen
