Description
According to the FDA, 99% of all conventionally grown food contains cancer-causing synthetic chemicals. Every person who eats a balanced
diet of fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy and protein products potentially consumes over 32 different types of synthetic chemicals everyday.
The amount of different synthetic chemicals a person consumes depends largely on the diversity of foods in their diet and the amount
of organic products they elect to eat.
Choosing Safer Foods presents extensive research conducted on foods in thirty-six
