I’ve recently become a lot more conscious of the various chemicals in the food we eat. The FDA claims that the traces of chemicals in foods are so small that they won’t harm an average human being. What they don’t know, is how all these different chemicals work together. Maybe it’s the paranoia in me or maybe it’s media overload, but knowing I’m ingesting chemicals on a daily basis gives me an impending doom feeling.

BPA is a chemical I see in a lot of different articles. It has some relevance here in that a lot of BPA is found in canned foods (vegetables), which can be avoided by growing your own veggies! Not to mention avoiding all the commercial pesticides. But that is an article for another day.

The Fact is the 95% of people have some amount of BPA in their bodies. BPA cause the level of estrogen in the body to rise which can infact raise your likelihood of developing breast cancer or in males raise your risk of developing prostate cancer or lower sperm count.

Educate yourself on what you and your family are eating!
