It's really hard to avoid toxic food because almost everything in the supermarket is full of chemicals, so I've put together a list of the Top 6 less obvious foods that we should NEVER put in our body.
1. MARGARINE: This tub of yellow coloured, chemically flavoured trans-fat is probably the most toxic food you could possibly eat. Those TV ads that tell us its good for us because its made from plants is a total lie. Your body has no idea how to process margarine because it is so far from anything remotely natural or recognizable. Just buy butter, which is pure cream, churned with water and salt or even better organic butter which is full of vitamins, minerals and good fatty acids.
2. CANNED TOMATOES: Cans are lined with plastic containing BPA - a synthetic estrogen that is highly carcinogenic. This leaches into our foods and since most canned products have BPA in them, and because tomatoes are highly acidic really they melt that BPA lining making the contents pretty toxic. It's really easy to buy tomato products in glass jars instead (or use fresh tomatoes). See the Choice website for a list of BPA levels across different brands.
3. MICROWAVE POPCORN: The bag holding the popping corn is made up of a toxic mix of chemicals including perfluorooctanoic acid (part of a class of compounds that has been linked to infertility & cancer). Studies show that microwaving causes these chemicals to vaporize-and migrate into our popcorn.nice! Manufacturers have promised to phase out these chemicals by 2015 so until then, we need to pop the kernels on the stove top.
4. POTATOES (NON-ORGANIC): The poor conventionally grown potato is sprayed with that many fungicides & pesticides that they are absorbed all the way through the vegetable. Apparently all potato farmers all have separate plots where they grow potatoes for themselves without all the chemicals. Organic potatoes are only $1 or so more a bag at Woolworth's.
5. CONVENTIONALLY GROWN APPLES: I was sad to hear this news but out of all the fruit we can buy, apples are the most doused in toxic chemicals, some are sprayed with more than 40 different pesticides! That's is a lot of toxins for us and our children's little bodies. Unfortunately you can't just wash this stuff off, so we need to buy organic apples instead. Organic apples are cheaper than the regular apples at Woollworths at the moment and they taste so much better too.
6. CANOLA OIL: 'Canola' sounds harmless but it is actually a made up name for a man made oil genetically engineered from the toxic rapeseed plant. There is absolutely nothing remotely natural or healthy about this product and the long term effects are totaly unknown. When heating anything at really high temperatures only use organic coconut oil and for all general cooking use a good olive oil (or coconut oil).

As Dr. Karl says...
Only believe peer reviewed journals. The rest is hearsay and fallacy.
But non canned tomatoes cost like $10kg
I haven't seen any organic Apples.
Canola is evil.
and more sh!t science.
"2. CANNED TOMATOES: Cans are lined with plastic containing BPA – a synthetic estrogen that is highly carcinogenic. This leaches into our foods and since most canned products have BPA in them, and because tomatoes are highly acidic really they melt that BPA lining making the contents pretty toxic. It's really easy to buy tomato products in glass jars instead (or use fresh tomatoes). See the Choice website for a list of BPA levels across different brands."
The reason plastics are used to line cans is they are inert ie: resistant to attack by common chemicals. Canned tomatoes last just as long as other canned stuff, which shows the acid if NOT attacking the lining.
YES there is BPA in cans but NO tomatoes are not worse.
Further it is not a "BPA lining" - it a plastic lining that contains traces of BPA from manufacture. They make it sound like cans are lined with pure BPA. The tomatoes do not "melt" the lining. The BPA leaches into the product.
Don't buy canned food - easy.
Then "BPA is a synthetic estrogen" - making it sound like it was designed as a hormone replacement drug. NO, studies show it has oestrogen-like effects upon the body . YES it is bad but calling it "synthetic estrogen" is scaremongering to make it sound worse.
This stuff may be true, but it loses credibitlity when they try to talk it up using scientifically unsound language or principles.
Ooooooh "chemicals are bad", don't touch water as it is a chemical.
"Organic food is better" (when ALL food is organic)

I love it how petermac drops these little nuggets of cut'n'paste in every couple of days - usually without comment - and then everyone rabbits on about them for hours. I'm beginning to think he's one of the cleverest trolls I've ever come across.
like lambs to the slaughter,these are the days of our lives.
The microwave is the appliance of the living dead. People who use the microwave on a regular basis are walking down a path towards degenerative disease and a lifelong battle with obesity. The more you use the microwave, the worse your nutritional state gets, and the more likely you are to be diagnosed with various diseases and put on pharmaceuticals which, of course, will create other health problems that lead to a grand spiraling nosedive of health.

It was fortunate that the giant-lizard-alien-kings sent the second son of God, David Icke, to inform us of this.
