Food
Food should be good for you. But some foods aren’t.
- Pesticides are sprayed on millions of acres every year and some of them end up on your food.
- Additionally, certain food additives, commonly found in many processed foods, can increase the risk of cancer, harm the nervous system, change the body’s hormonal balance and affect the immune system.
- Read ingredient labels to avoid these additives. Choose fresh whole foods when possible.
- Keep up with the latest information, and make informed choices about your dietary lifestyle.
