That's true we are bombarded with a lot of toxins in our daily life. There is a web site I frequent cwclabs.com this guy has done tests on all kinds of things including vaccines. But he also did some tests on food so he went to McDonalds and ordered some chicken McNuggets and concluded its not even chicken, lol. He didn't confirm what it was in the video maybe he's still trying to figure it out. There are a lot of things I absolutely will not eat besides "Fast Food" and that is any type of processed meat like bacon, canned vegetables, most cereals, Pond raised fish, processed corn products and anything I recognize or suspect as GMO. If you shop for fruits and vegetables in the produce dept. there is a way to distinguish if a fruit or vegetable is GMO or not by looking at the little sticker. It will begin with either a 3,4,8 or 9, 3 and 4's are conventional crops that may have been grown with the use of pesticides, anything starting with 8 is suppose to be GMO and 9's are said to be organically grown. Another thing I would stay away from as much as possible is processed sugar. As far as cleaning products many companies market "Organic" products, try those. If you are in the habit of coloring your hair find one without lead acetate. I think a lot of companies are discontinuing it's use, but read the label anyway.

The last four letters (or only four, in this case) of the PLU code are simply what kind of vegetable or fruit you’re buying. An example is that all bananas are labeled with the code of 4011.
If there are five numbers in the PLU code, and the number starts with “8”, this tells you that the item is a genetically modified fruit or vegetable. Genetically modified fruits and vegetables have been tampered with in an unnatural way; essentially, produce that has been genetically modified was created in a lab or over decades of artificial selection, and cannot be found in nature. A genetically engineered (GE or GMO) banana would be: 84011
If there are five numbers in the PLU code, and the number starts with “9”, this tells you that the produce was grown organically and is not genetically modified. An organic banana would be: 94011
Interestingly enough, the adhesive used to attach the stickers is considered food-grade, but the stickers themselves aren’t safe to consume.
If you’re looking to be hyper aware of what fruits and vegetables have been treated with pesticides and other chemicals and which have not, you’ll want to check out the homepage for the Environmental Working Groups.
The EWG has compiled two lists to help consumers identify which produce is generally cleaner and which produce is generally tampered with; the Clean Fifteen and the Dirty Dozen.
The Top 5 for the “Clean Fifteen” produce are:
Avocados
Sweet Corn
Pineapple
Cabbage
Sweet Peas (Frozen)
The Top 5 for the “Dirty Dozen” produce are:
Strawberries
Apples
Nectarines
Peaches
Celery
