DHA Milk made by Horizon, one of the largest organic brands in the U.S., isn’t nearly as “natural” as the company advertises it to be, according to an investigation by The Washington Post. It contains a type of algae, Schizochytrium, which is fed corn syrup. Corn is the #1 crop grown in the United States, and nearly all of it is genetically modified.
Boxed macaroni and cheese is often a favorite food among youngsters, but a recent study suggests the packaged food contains dangerous, endocrine-disrupting chemicals that have been banned in toys: phthalates. [1]
Phthalates are a group of toxic additives in plastics. They’re used to make plastics soft and flexible, and are commonly found in artificial fragrances, inks, coatings, adhesives, and other consumer and industrial products, the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) explains.
With high-end food profits often being as lucrative as street drug-trade, the problem of ‘fake foods’ continues to persist. One main ‘fake food’ stocking store shelves is olive oil – with fake olive oil being exported from Italy.

More people than ever want to know what’s in the food they are buying, ruling out products containing known food additives. After reading several labels and being appalled at the amount of additives most foods contain, people want to know why this is being allowed. The Center for Public Integrity (CPI) has an answer, but it may not pass the test of common sense.
Not much has changed in how ‘fast’ food is made in America. Since 1996, the number of calories in a typical fast food meal are about the same as they are today. Can you guess just how many calories that mega food makers like to put in their mass-consumed food – aside from harmful ingredients like the high fructose corn syrup, GMO corn and soy, chemical flavorings, MSG, toxic food dyes, and other ‘additives?
What happens when you add milk to a coke? Something disgusting. Soda, while one of the most advertised beverages in America, is also one of the most unhealthy. Jam packed with high fructose corn syrup, soda is one of the…Read more →
