You may not be aware of the foods you are eating if you don’t go for organic food. But some of the processed and questionable food in your freezer, fridge, or pantry is made from China. And a lot of food that is made in China is filled with toxins, pesticides, and other chemicals that cause cancer, such as BPA. Whenever you are eating food with BPA, that right there increases the cancer risk.
What BPA does is that it sends toxic hormones into your body that imitate the role of estrogen. This can cause a variety type of cancers. There are ten poisonous foods from China that you do not want to have in your home anymore. Let’s go over them.
#10 – Tilapia Fish
You have been told that fish is full of healthy fats and nutrients which is true. But you will want to stay away from tilapia fish unless you know it is organic and farmed locally. But most of this type of fish is farmed in China and there are so many toxins in the waters there that mean the fish is full of toxins too. Therefore, you are ingesting them as well.
#9 – Cod
Just like tilapia fish, cod on the supermarket shelves are likely from China, and they are also full of toxins for the same reason.
#8 – Processed mushrooms
If you are going to shop for mushrooms, make sure they are grown locally or grown in a developed country nearest to you, and that they are organic and raw. Many mushrooms that are grown are from China and are full of toxins that will cause cancer if you consume too many.
#7 – Chinese Apple Juice
Always go for organic apple juice that is made locally. Most apple juice that you get from the supermarket is from China and is made with apples that are full of pesticides, and therefore, this juice is a hazard to your health.
#6 – Chicken
The chicken that you know is farmed locally is fine, and organic is better. But when it comes to the chicken in your grocery store that you are unsure of where the meat is from – it is from China. And, that means it is full of many toxins. That is because there is a high amount of pesticides and other chemicals produced in the country, and the chickens would be affected by it too.
#5 – Chinese Garlic
Local garlic is safe to consume, but garlic from China is not due to all of the toxins and pesticides. And those who have consumed garlic from China have said that there is a strange aftertaste. That is why the toxins are producing that odd aftertaste.
#4 – Plastic Rice
This is the type of rice that is made of artificial potatoes and rice, and it stays hard when it is cooked. This type of rice is full of toxins, and you are much better off going for fluffy and organic rice. Even though brown rice is the healthiest option, if you go for white rice, be sure it is genuine and local.
#3 – Fake Green Peas
These peas are not real as they are made with snow peas and snow beans, which are made with artificial green coloring as well as a chemical added in bleach called sodium metabisulfite. This and the green coloring are cancer-causing, and it also does not allow the body to absorb the necessary calcium needed for bone health. You will know that these peas are not real because when they are boiled, they make the water turn green.
#2 – Black Pepper From China
Did you know that Chinese black pepper is really mud? That is right. Mud is sold as black pepper and never get black pepper from China!
#1 – Industrial Salt
Even though this salt is not meant to be consumed, it is being sold as salt to add to your dishes. This means salt from China is industrial salt and never to purchase it from your grocery store. It can cause a lot of serious problems with your thyroid function and mental health as well.
Now, the next time you go grocery shopping, you will want to make sure that your kitchen is free of any of these foods. Go for local and organic!
