Simple Swaps to Avoid Food Loaded with Toxins and Chemicals

Take a look at “7 Foods That Should Never Cross Your Lips” and find out if your food is loaded with toxins and chemicals. Clean eating means choosing fruits, vegetables, and meats that are raised, grown, and sold with minimal processing.  Often they’re organic, and rarely (if ever) should they contain additives. But in some cases, the methods of today’s food producers are neither clean nor sustainable. The result is damage to our health, the environment, or both. So we decided to take a fresh look at food through the eyes of the people who spend their lives uncovering what’s safe—or not—to eat. We asked them a simple question: “What foods do you avoid?” Their answers don’t necessarily make up a “banned foods” list. But reaching for the suggested alternatives might bring you better health—and peace of mind.

  1. Canned tomatoes
  2. Corn-fed beef
  3. Microwave popcorn
  4. Non-organic potatoes
  5. Farmed salmon
  6. Milk produced with artificial hormones [I would go even further than this, but that’s another story]
  7. Conventional apples
