If they have to dress like this to spray strawberries, why would you want to eat them?<\/p>\n
The seven\u00a0dangerous chemicals<\/strong>\u00a0approved by the Codex Commission are often referred to Persistent Organic Pollutants (POP). “Persistent” because they aren’t expelled easily, or at all without help. Following a trail, it’s sprayed on crops as\u00a0pesticides.<\/strong>\u00a0These crops are used in the preparation of feed and produce which is marketed to humans. Animals are eating the byproducts and humans are eating the produce and both are retaining the chemical in their bodies. Then the humans eat the animals and get dosed again with the chemical. Humans have all these toxins in their bodies and are\u00a0slowly being poisoned<\/strong>. And it’s not just land creatures.<\/p>\n Organochlorine<\/strong>, one commonly\u00a0used POP<\/strong>, runs off from the land into bodies of water, and may be responsible for contaminating the world’s seafood supply. Organochlorine collects in the fatty tissue and so fish we heretofore ate for their\u00a0essential fatty acids<\/strong>\u00a0are becoming unsafe to eat in regular quantities.<\/p>\n Washing and pealing don’t clear it away completely<\/strong>. Washing doesn’t get everything off. Still you need to wash all fresh fruit and vegetables to clean them as much as possible. Pealing doesn’t get everything off because it can grow through the\u00a0vegetables.<\/strong>\u00a0The other problem with pealing is that many of the\u00a0nutrients\u00a0<\/strong>that we want from the fruit are stored in the skin, so pealing reduces the benefit to your body.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If they have to dress like this to spray strawberries, why would you want to eat them?
