Of 85 products tested, a popular organic pasta product had the highest levels
These chemicals have been linked to cancer and other serious health conditions

'Forever chemicals' linked to cancer are found in virtually every food product sold in American stores, a shocking report suggests.
The watchdog Consumer Reports tested 85 everyday items for the presence of phthalates and bisphenols, two types of PFAS chemicals used to make plastics.
The researchers tried to make their sample size as broad as possible - testing water, soda, cereal, bread, meat, fish, condiments, desserts and even baby food.
All but one product tested positive for the substances, which have been dubbed 'forever chemicals' because they are virtually impossible to break down in the body where they cause untold health problems.
It comes amid growing fears about the massive amounts of chemicals being ingested by Americans every year - and whether it is related to a mystery spike in cancers among young people.
A study earlier this week found water bottles contain a quarter of a million pieces of microscopic plastics.
In the latest report, Consumer Reports measured the amount of phthalates - a group of chemicals used to make plastics more durable - in products in nanograms, which indicates a mass equal to one billionth of a gram.
The product with the highest amount of phthalates per serving in nanograms was Annie's canned organic cheesy ravioli, which contained 53,580 nanograms of phthalates per serving.
It is not clear how much of these get broken down by the body or released naturally during the digestive process. But the CDC says that between 2 and 20 nanograms per milliliter of blood can cause people adverse health problems.

p
the obvious answer is DON’T EAT FOOD! it will kill you. bugs are better so eat ze bugs!
Strangely they seem to have found the most plastics in several organic products.
The latest bogeyman, in front of which we are all required to cower in abject fear ...
It says American stores, it should say U.S. stores
Soy, it’s in everything....................
You should eat real food, not the cheap junk they are selling us.
BWHAHAHAHAHAHahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
Wait ... you're serious???
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!
“whether it is related to a mystery spike in cancers among young people.”
Makes me wonder when said spike in cancers started. The chemicals they refer to have been around for many years, with plasticizers like BPA actually being outlawed in recent years. If the cancer spike is recent it would be hard to draw that correlation. It would make more sense if there were talking about a steady increase over decades.

Another attempt for them to cover up what the $hots are doing.
“You should eat real food” Define “real food” for us please.
Then again maybe it’s just the CoupFlu vaxxes...

“The product with the highest amount of phthalates per serving in nanograms was Annie’s canned organic cheesy ravioli, which contained 53,580 nanograms of phthalates per serving. . . . the CDC says that between 2 and 20 nanograms per milliliter of blood can cause people adverse health problems.”
The average adult supposedly has somewhere around 5000 ml of blood, so one serving of that ravioli would give you about 10.7 ng per ml.
I wonder if the phthalates are coming from the lining of the can.
Agree!
See 12.
Annie’s canned organic cheesy ravioli, which contained 53,580 nanograms of phthalates per serving.
A can is 15 oz and it says 2 servings per can.
So that’s 53,580 nanograms per 7.5 oz or 222 milliliters.
53,580 ÷ 222 ml = 241 nanoparticles per ml
The CDC says that between 2 and 20 nanograms per milliliter of blood can cause people adverse health problems.
Problem is they don’t state how many nanoparticles per nanogram.
Next chicken I pluck to eat I will first ask her what she has been eating.
My mistake, the 53,580 was nanograms. Therefore, the 241 is nanograms per ml, way above the 2 to 20 nanograms per ml of blood.
