Hi all,
This book is a quick and enlightening read. I am through part one and two. Below are just a few more facts listed in her book that I thought were really interesting. Please consider picking it up and reading it!
"In 2007, a long term study from Italian cancer institute revealed that aspartame-a synthetic chemical composed of the amino acids phenlalanine and aspartic acid- increases the occurrence of lymphomas, leukemias and breast cancer in rats."
"The nine teaspoons of sugar contained in just one can of regular soda supply 180 calories, almost 10 percent of the daily calorie requirement for an average adult."
"To rid salmon of sea lice, fish farmers spike their feed with strong pesticide called emanectin benzoate, which when administered to rats and dogs caused tremors, spinal deterioration and muscle atrophy. The farmed salmon in nearly every American supermarket may contain this pesticide, which on land is used to rid diseased trees of pine beetles. It is not a substance I want in my body. Tara Grescoe, Bottomfeeder."
"About one-third of the bottled water tested positive for significant chemical or bacterial contamination, exceeding levels allowed under a state or industry standard or guideline."
As you can see this book covers lots of material and it is an enjoyable read. I still have part three to complete today. Take the time to clean up your body and your house.
