I have always been of the opinion that a lot of cancer and disease is caused by our environment.  While we have found a decent amount of chemicals that did cause disease it seems that as time progresses more and more chemicals get integrated into food and we find out later that they are causing problems.

How does this happen?  Lack of oversight and standards?  Who knows.

I am posting about this because of the recent news that concerns how our processed foods are made and the things that are put in them.

 

One study talks about how how BPA dramatically shifts the metabolism of animals and such:  http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2012/03/whats-really-making-us-fat/254087/2/?single_page=true

I recently read something along the lines of how nano particles in food erode the intestinal track.

You would expect the people that make this food and those that regulate it to step up and be on top of this stuff but since the manufacture of foods and such they have not been.

 

What really should we be eating?
