We are exposed to countless toxins and contaminants on a daily basis through foods, water and the air we breathe. It is important to be well informed about what you can do to minimize damage from exposure to these toxins.
- Never cook food in tap water. Cooking in tap water will concentrate the amount of heavy metals you ingest. Foods also absorb impurities that are present in water when cooking.
- Cut down on eating and drinking out in restaurants and coffee shops as all their foods and beverages are prepared with tap water
- Avoid buying reconstituted juices and soft drinks
- Avoid drinking Alcohol, most alcoholic beverages contain unacceptably high levels of fluoride. Wines from South Australia are the safest and have the least amount of Fluoride
- Eat Organic as much as possible. Australia still uses Hydrofluorosilicic Acid to fumigate fruits, vegetables, grains and nuts. Unlike other developed countries, Australia has set no guidelines on the amount of Hydrofluorosilicic Acid residue left on foods. Exposure can be as high as 240ppm!
