The modern world is a constant chemical stew spewing with toxic sludge. There are chemicals in the air, in the ground, in the water, and in the food that we eat. Some chemicals have been a gift to humanity, others have been a curse. So many compounds are toxic.The body has many systems to deal toxins absorbed by the body from the environment. The liver, the kidneys, the lymphatic system, FAT all help to contain and eliminate toxic waste and substances. However the body’s system can be over run and the body can become saturated with toxins.
Many food colorings, Red 40 and yellow 5, are potent neurotoxins. Preservatives that most cannot pronounce and even fewer understand are imbedded in many grocery store items. Grains and produce have been genetically modified into something unnatural. Refined/ bleached sugar or high fructose corn syrup are common toxins found in most foods. There is an old saying, “you are what you eat.”
If it smells like it might be toxic…. It probably is.
