189 Cancer-Causing Chemicals Found in FOOD [ALERT]
You’ve been told that your BEST option for beating breast cancer is to catch it early with yearly screenings.
And the 5-year survival rate is indeed 99 percent when the cancer is caught in its earliest stages.
But I think women can do BETTER.
You see, I don’t want my wife to survive cancer… I want her to never get it in the first place.
One way to do that is by avoiding some common household items that contain HUNDREDS of chemicals linked to breast cancer.
I often write to you about what you’re eating.
Today, I will focus on what your food comes packaged IN.
In a recent study, researchers compared a database of harmful chemicals that are known to leach out of food packaging and tableware to a list of chemicals linked to breast cancer.
These include chemicals such as BPA, bisphenols, and PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), which are found in food packaging, non-stick cookware, stain-resistant clothing, and personal care products like shampoo, nail polish, and makeup.
In other words, these are products women are exposed to DAILY in countless ways.
The researchers found 189 chemicals that are linked to breast cancer in food packaging materials alone. This doesn’t just include plastic, either. Many of these carcinogens were found in paper or cardboard.
The FDA has let the American people down regarding food safety. It’s supposed to regulate not only what’s put INTO our food supply (additives, flavorings, emulsifiers) but also the packaging the food comes into contact with.
However, in reality, most of the chemicals IN your food or that come into CONTACT with your food have never even been evaluated for safety.
And most of the ones that have been put to the test have FAILED.
The FDA is supposed to be establishing a new process for evaluating these chemicals, but judging by what we’ve seen so far, I wouldn’t expect any major changes anytime soon.
That’s why, unless your food comes directly from your garden or pasture, the food’s safety is in question.
It’s even more reason to eat whole, organic foods, to shop the perimeter of the grocery store, and to grow your own food when possible.
You can’t avoid exposure to ALL chemicals, but you can reduce your contact. And every small step you can take to reduce your risk of breast cancer (or of any cancer at all) is a step in the right direction.
