Here are some healthy food options that we have read about that help people avoid harmful chemicals.
Organic fruits and vegetables are an obvious option and our post concentrates on buying just the ones that have the most pesticide residue. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has found that even after you wash certain fruits and vegetables, they still contain much higher levels of pesticide residue than others.
Buy milk that is USDA organic to avoid hormones like bovine growth hormone (BGH), antibiotics, pesticides, and other additives. Cows are also given access to pasture. Some believe that these benefits are not real because milk is tested for antibiotic and pesticide residue.
Processed meats like cold cuts, hot dogs, bacon, and sausages have lots of sodium and nitrates which may cause heart risks or cancer. Buy nitrate free meats instead.
