Publisher's Synopsis
Clean Eating Guide and Clean Eating Cookbook 25 Delicious Clean Eating Recipes Healthy Food Cookbook and Eat Clean Diet book Clean Eating For Dummies The difference between your food's natural state and what winds up on your plate is getting bigger every day. Manufacturers are adding high fructose corn syrup to everything from spaghetti sauce and bread to roasted nuts and yogurt. Artificial preservatives are present in almost everything, whether canned or not. Conventionally grown vegetables are sprayed with harsh, harmful pesticides. Livestock are treated with hormones to force unnatural growth, and large amounts of antibiotics to counteract the maladies that arise from factory farming conditions. All of this ends up on your plate. With the rise of these practices, the world has seen skyrocketing rates of obesity and cancer. According to Livestrong, obesity rates have risen 214% from their levels in 1950. Colon cancer is up 60% in the same timeframe, heavily linked to an increase in red meat consumption. The cost of this is enormous-- not only to the sufferers of these diseases, but also to taxpayers. Lax regulation and corporate lobbying have enabled companies to bypass common sense restrictions, using unquestionably harmful chemicals on, in, and around your food.
