From an article by Liz Vaccariello, Editor-in-Chief, PREVENTION. 11/09
1. Canned Tomatoes - The resin linings of tin cans contain bisphenol-A, a synthetic estrogen that has been linked to ailments ranging from reproductive problems, to heart disease, diabetes, and obesity.
2. Corn-fed Beef - Cattle evolved to eat grass, not grains. But farmers feed their animals corn and soybeans to fatten them up faster for slaughter.
3. Microwave Popcorn - chemicals, including perfluoroctanoic acid, in the lining of the bag, are part of a class of compounds that may be linked to infertility
4. Nonorganic Potatoes - root vegetables absorb herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides that wind up in the soil and traditional potatoes are loaded with these harmful chemicals.
5. Farmed Salmon - Farmeds salmon are crammed into pens, fed soy, poultry litter, and hydrolyzed chicken feathers.
6. Milk Produced with Artificial Hormones - rBGH, the recombinant bovine growth hormone increase udder infections and even pus in the milk. Gross. And sad.
7. Conventional Apples - voted the most doused in pesticides of all the fruits/veggies with an edible peel in the produce section. Apples are more resistant to pests so they are sprayed even more than other fruits. Yikes.
