Each year, we consume hundreds of food products that contain truly dangerous compounds, including heavy metals, pesticides and other harmful additives - with the blessing of our food authorities. Why is this happening and why haven't you heard about it? In UNSAFE AT ANY MEAL, Dr. Renee Dufault, former food investigator for the Food and Drug Administration, provides the startling answers. The book begins with the author's story leading up to the creation of this work. It then describes the various toxic substances that are most commonly found in our food supply and explains how they affect your genes, health and the surrounding environment. It further shows how exposure to these heavy metals can contribute to conditions such as ADHD or autism. Also included is a helpful guide to reading food labels, recognising misleading marketing tactics and knowing what to look for - and what to look out for - in the aisles of your supermarket. UNSAFE AT ANY MEAL provides consumers with the information they need to know. Backed by research and first-hand experience, Dr. Dufault reveals how our food authorities have failed us and outlines how you can protect yourself and your family by knowing what to avoid and by filling your kitchen with food that is toxin-free.
