It is then taken up into the plants that we eat – as do the farm animals that we often end up eating as well. According to a study by Norwegian scientists, American soy crops contain excessive glyphosate levels inside the food crop. Dozens more breakfast foods test positive for trace amounts of weed killer, report says.

However, as waterways are becoming increasingly polluted with pharmaceutical and toxic waste, fish are also contaminated.

If you aren’t choosy about where your fish is harvested, the pollutants in the fish may outweigh the benefits of the healthy fats.

Dangers of Hidden Poisons in Your Food

Mercola You may read food labels and make an effort to avoid risky food additives and artificial ingredients in the food you eat, but some of the most damaging poisons in your food are found nowhere on a label. Drug residues, pesticides, industrial chemicals and other environmental contaminants pose a serious risk in foods like meat and poultry. To protect U.S. consumers from such hazards, the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) administers the National Residue Program (NRP). The NRP, via FSIS inspectors, is responsible for testing food samples for the presence of approved and unapproved veterinary drugs, pesticides, and environmental contaminants.
