Just grow your own vegetables/fruit/herbs if you can. I used to have a whole garden in my backyard. Need to start doing that again. We had;
okra
corn
zucchini
green beans
squash
bell peppers
lettuce
onions
tomatoes
oranges
lemons
peaches
cherries
apples
plums
rosemary
chilis
tyme
There's probably more but I forget0 -
i don't eat any of that anyways! guess i'm in the clear haha0

LOL now since when are sproutrs bad for ya? :huh:
next people will be saying ALL fruit and veg are bad! :noway:
And then perhaps water....and air
Air ages your cells, causes free radicals, causes skin and body aging, and will eventually make you die of old age.0 -
Although the bioethics of GMOs are a legitimate concern (especially with Monsanto and patent lawsuits), there is no scientific evidence that a genetically modified crop is more dangerous or less nutritious than a traditionally bred crop. Some genetically modified foods, such as golden rice, provide increased levels of vitamin A and can be used in the third world to reduce the incidence of childhood blindness. If a food crop is modified to lower the incident of pesticide use and the amount of land required for a specific harvest, it's a good thing! There seems to be a lot of scare mongering on this issue, or when any new science comes out.
Although all GMOs should be labeled so consumers can choose what they eat.
I personally grow heirloom vegetables in my garden, because I think it's very cool to own a part of history - a plant that someone cultivated 100 years ago or more. The genetic diversity and uniqueness of my heirlooms trumps those big box store hybrid seeds. Why grow a plain red beefsteak tomato - everyone is growing them - when I can grow pink, yellow, green, white striped, blue, and fuzzy tomatoes in all sorts of shapes and sizes!0 -

Agree also with whoever said testing methods also make it look like more people have it now when on reality it is just more people getting tested. Also there's a disturbing amount of people that pretend they have thyroid problems as of it excuses obesity. But disagree on the moneymaking angle- my thyroid meds cost $40 a year without insurance- with a few exceptions of specialty meds, its cheap to treat.0 -
Most of these responses indicate that the article wasn't read. This is not a weight loss list, it's a list of foods that are more likely to be contaminated or be produced unethically.0

I read it and still...I'm not cutting them out.0 -

There's nothing wrong with eating whole natural foods. But then again there's nothing wrong with eating the 14 foods above either if one accounts for them in their diet correctly.

I LOVE canned tomatoes!
(they're just so darn handy for all sorts of recipes!)
now it has me wondering if canned chipotles fall under that same trap?0 -

Nope, I read it. Why not include almonds, cashews, potatoes, cherries etc etc - they are all poisonous in the right (or wrong) dosage. Plus there are incorrect facts in the article.0 -

Thank you for the summary but it was unnessesary. Most of us are quite capable of understanding the OP all by ourselves.0 -

Canned tomatoes? Sprouts???
Get real, this list is nonsense!
If you read the article, you'll see the reasoning behind each listed food, which does looks quite random as a whole without context. Several of these listed foods make sense.
I HAVE read the article and I STILL say that it's nonsense.0 -

I agree with this quote, as do most of the biologists I know.
Also for people that are concerned about BPA, there are some cans that don't have it in the lining. Eden and Amy's. I eat canned foods that have BPA (in small quantities it is fine for adults), but tomatoes are acidic and they do draw from the can lining. Just as you can cook with tomatoes in a cast iron pan to increase your iron. This is an issue within the FDA, and has been banned in products for babies and in many countries. I can understand why someone that has had hormonal disorders might want to keep it in mind (not saying you have to and it certainly depends on what the disorder is). I don't think people should be afraid of food, but it's also ok to make your own choices in whatever ways you want. It's no big deal.0 -

More health threatening links reported:Study finds eating chicken noodle soup better in glass bowlsBut a new report in the journal JAMA finds that eating hot food from melamine dishware can expose kids and adults to large amounts of melamine.
Long-term low-level intake of melamine has been linked to kidney stones in both children and adults; and in 2008, melamine-tainted baby formula (causing an especially high dose) was linked to six deaths and 50,000 hospitalizations related to kidney stones and kidney disease in China.To play it safe, serve hot food, soup and drinks in ceramic or glass dishware.

Anything in moderation, that's what I stick by!0

Good thing cocaine isn't on that list! Now if you'll excuse me...0

An alternative list:
Don't eat endangered species.
Don't eat food that's been produced using child labour.
Don't eat food that has been produced in the ashes of the rainforest.
Try to cut down on food that's crossed continents to reach you.
Try to cut down on food which can't be reproduced in your own kitchen, because they require industrial equipment and mysterious chemicals.
I am sure there are several "food groups" I have forgotten, but except from what I am allergic to, these are the foods I really try to avoid.
exactly! and i agree most strongly with the last one0 -
so no Mcdonalds but it's okay to go to Burger King, Taco Bell and Wendy's? Wow, Yahoo, your articles are so informative and helpful...NOT!0

Chain restaurant ice cream? But i love friendly's ice cream!!!! Nope, i will still have that from time to time. Lol

Never eat foods you don't like, or endangered species because then the psycho eco -freaks (like me) will find you.0
