Becoming ill as we age is not a given,
fighting the “Evil Twins of Aging”  and
the dis-eases they promote, can be as

Reduce the Risk of Pesticides

More than 800,000,000 pounds of toxic chemicals are used as pesticides each year on American farmland.  The Delaney Amendment is found in Section 409 of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.  It states: "No additive will be deemed safe if it is found to induce cancer when ingested by a man or animal."  The EPA published findings in the report Unfinished Business, a comparative assessment of environmental problems rank pesticide residues in food as the third highest risk of cancer today.  Buy organic grown produce when ever possible!  Wash all produce, a few drops of apple cider vinegar in a bowl filled with water is very helpful for rinsing or scrubbing vegetables and fruit.  Peel produce if it is not organic. Currently FDA only samples about1% of the food supply. Their current technology can detect less than one half of the 700 pesticides, herbicides and fungicides acceptable to use. Many chemicals have been banned from use, however these toxic chemicals are still being sold and exported to Mexico and South America where there are no regulations and then the food is exported back to America. More than half of our winter produce comes from Mexico.
