Wherever people live in America we are exposed to toxic levels of chemicals
Over 3,000 chemicals are added to our food supply today and 1,000 new ones are introduced each year. Some of these include Aspartame, MSG, DDT, Dioxins, and Pesticides.
Americans experience up to 70 exposures a day of a class of toxic chemicals known as persistent organic pollutants 
(POPs).
These are some of the toxic chemicals that cause Cancer can disrupt hormones, affect reproduction, cause respiratory problems or link to diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Autism, Depression, Diabetes, Obesity, and Parkinson’s.
Here are symptoms of toxic exposure:
- Colds and flu
- Congestion
- Chronic fatigue and exhaustion
- Digestive disturbances
- Headaches
- Liver dysfunction
- Problems with teeth and gums
- Rashes
- Respiratory illness
- Sinus infections
- Skin disease (psoriasis, eczema, acne, etc.
Ten Tips We Can Do To Reduce Our Exposure To Chemicals
It is almost impossible to avoid all of these chemicals, but we can do a few things to reduce our exposure in our diet and environment.
- Choose fresh organic fruits and vegetables
- Avoid artificial additives and processed foods
- Limit amount consumed of canned foods
- Replace your Aluminum cooking pans with stainless steel
