Do we know what we eat? – By washing our food, do we “clean” it or make it more “dirty”?
Have you ever wondered if the food that reaches our plate is clean? No matter how carefully we wash them, for the last 50 years, humans have used hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, etc. The goal was simply to increase food production, both plant and animal, while simultaneously reducing the time it takes to prepare them. Thus, today there is an abundance of food. However, we are ingesting all these toxins that are present in the food, which over time burden our health. So we may think that we are consuming clean food, which due to medications causes the greatest diseases such as heart disease, cancer, kidney diseases, and many other degenerative diseases.
We wash our fruits and vegetables with water believing that they are now clean and safe to eat. But is that really the case?
Today, all nutritionists recommend eating plenty of fruits and vegetables as they offer health and longevity: however, unfortunately, it is now scientifically accepted that the best washing you can do for fruits and vegetables will only remove about 20% of pesticides, while 80% of these toxins will enter your body through food.
Most pesticides, when sprayed by farmers, are “long-lasting,” meaning they do not break down with rainwater, so they remain effective and can combat pathogens and insects for at least 10 days; otherwise, the farmer would have to spray them daily.
In practice, what does the farmer do? He sprays, for example, the cucumbers today and on the third day, unfortunately, he cuts them and takes them to the greengrocer.
Subsequently, you purchase them, and no matter how much they are washed, as mentioned above, it is not possible to completely remove the pesticides; therefore, you inevitably ingest 80% of the harmful elements present in their ingredients.
Unfortunately, our body does not eliminate these chemical poisons, which have a cumulative effect with tragic consequences for our health.
Today, both in chickens and animals in general, hormones are given with their feed to help them grow quickly and increase their weight, while various antibiotics are administered with their water to protect them from various diseases. As a result, all of this is ultimately transferred to humans through the food chain, destroying their immune system and not only having disastrous consequences for their health but also for the health of their offspring.
Consider that D.D.T was banned in Greece many years ago; however, we still find it today even in breast milk.
