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.

The oldest known lead-containing object made by human hands is a small statue found in Turkey, from 6,500 B.C. Egyptian Pharaohs between 3,000 and 4,000 B.C. used lead to glaze pottery.
All of this scare-ism is laughable.
Laudanum was used during the yellow fever epidemic. Innumerable Victorian women were prescribed the drug for relief of menstrual cramps and vague aches. Nurses also spoon-fed laudanum to infants. The Romantic and Victorian eras were marked by the widespread use of laudanum in Europe and the United States.
Leave Klaus "You will eat ze bugs!" out of this, please. đ
Annie's? That's surprising...
Real food is unprocessed-as in fresh veggies, fruit, meat-not frozen in a bag or box, not precooked, not in a can, not in a plastic bag-as in bread or baked goods. Use real butter-not margarine, and olive oil instead of bottled, processed oil, etc. Real cheese instead of processed cheese that is only half cheese-the other ingredients are hydrogenated oil, etc. Natural, organic and unprocessed-that is “real” food-paleo diet is real food-been eating that way most of my life, also drug free-no overweight, no colds flu every year, no lack of energy-it works...
“Annie’s canned organic cheesy ravioli, which contained 53,580 nanograms of phthalates per serving.” Enserio? If it is pre-cooked and/or in a can, it is NOT organic or unprocessed...
Why? Canned food is neither organic or unprocesed-it is just fancy-labeled canned food...
I’m glad someone got it!
‘forever chemicals’ because they are virtually impossible to break down in the body

So, are they inert?
If so, how is that a problem?
Unless they pile up and clog the exhaust system.

The bottle contains particles?
Seems like the bottle is just one, big particle.
Do they mean the water in the bottle?
I had two important appointments. I don’t have a full time job on FR.
Real food means something your great grandparents would have eaten. Actual whole unprocessed food that isn't ultra-processed, full of cheap ingredients, antibiotics, etc.
Traditionally raised meat, vegetables, fruits.
See post #42...
Startling new report finds hormone-warping chemicals in 99 PERCENT of food sold in American stores - which may raise risk of cancer, autism and infertility
Which mayâŚ.
Or MAY notâŚ.
same CDC that thought an untested vaxx was good enough to force millions to take?...yeah, that CDC....
I do think that all these snack cookies, chips, crackers, etc contain a lot of bad stuff..
âYou should eat real foodâ Define âreal foodâ for us please.
One example would be mushrooms which happens to be fungi.
I have this all in the dead trees edition / Consumer Reports and will try post images of it
!!!!
Eat ze bugs they are organic af.
Sounds like nano AI stuff to me. Slick,no telling what else they are doing. Remember its air, water and food. All can be vehicles for the dirty dems/deep state.
