Unbeknownst to most people, the very foods that we eat are either produced with, or include ingredients that are known to be toxic, poisonous, and harmful. Yet even with oversights such as the FDA, these substances make it into the foods we depend upon for life. This is a comprehensive list of such ingredients, practices, and means of how they are in the foods we eat, and some alternatives for us to help avoid them entirely. Many of these are included deliberately in our foods under the guise of being a safe and healthy alternative to certain foods and ingredients otherwise harmful to us, like sugar. However, these tend to be far worse than the ingredients they propose to replace as a healthier substitute. Please read the ingredient labels on foods you are purchasing. Refrain from anything processed. Be very wary of foods labeled 'diet', or low calorie, and even fat-free. Make educated food purchases, be a smart consumer, and make yourself aware of the deception of these ingredients, and how they can harm you and your children, and pets. Demand better oversight and accountability of food processing, and labeling of potentially harmful ingredients. Demand independent oversight and testing of foods, and not allow such research to be left to the manufacturers themselves, or by paid-off agencies that are no more interested in your food safety than those who are responsible for using these ingredients in the first place.

While systems such as GMP and HACCP assure a high standard of food quality, foodborne poisonings still pose a serious hazard to the consumer's health. The lack of knowledge among some producers and consumers regarding the risks and benefits related to food makes it imperative to provide updated information in order to improve food safety. To

Food Safety and Toxicity examines the many problems and changes in food safety and toxicity. From a natural science viewpoint, this informative book takes on challenging and important topics impacting food researchers, regulators, producers, healthcare providers, educators, and consumers. It is organized into three main sections. Section 1 explores the relationship between the origin or formation of potentially toxic compounds and their eventual ingestion. Section 2 picks up with information on the potential consequences of this ingestion, and Section 3 concludes with the discussion of prevention and minimization of health risks. By emphasizing food safety, rather than nutritional toxicology, this book puts food hazards and their health risks in true perspective. It also explores the complementary roles of toxicology and epidemiology in studying associations between nutrition and adverse health effects and in assessing toxicological risks from food components in a deliberate manner. Food Safety and Toxicity, with clear, non-technical language and valuable insight, brings you up-to-date on the significant food safety issues confronting us today.

Toxic Constituents of Animal Foodstuffs focuses on toxic substances that occur naturally as well as those that are deliberately or inadvertently introduced by man in animal foodstuffs. This book gives specific discussions on food contaminants in meat, dairy products, avian and fish eggs, shellfish, fish, and algae. It notes that the naturally occurring toxicants seem to be confined mainly to avian and fish eggs and to certain kinds of shellfish and amphibia. Examples of toxicity due to the introduction of synthetic chemicals may be found in most meat and dairy products. Moreover, special consideration is given to the problem of the carcinogenic nitrosamines in meat products to which nitrites have been added. This reference will convey an increased awareness of the fact that even products of animal origin may prove to be potentially hazardous to health because of certain toxic substances. Consequently, there will be a vital need for their close surveillance in the food chain.

Toxic Constituents of Plant Foodstuffs focuses on toxic substances in foods of plant origin, including protease inhibitors, hemagglutinins, goitrogens, cyanogens, saponins, gossypol, lathyrogens, and allergens. The book also considers adventitious toxic factors in processed foods and miscellaneous toxic factors such as stimulants and depressants, hypoglycemic agents, toxic amino acids, metal-binding constituents, and hepatotoxins. This volume is organized into 13 chapters and begins with an overview of protease inhibitors, including their distribution in the plant kingdom, physical and chemical properties, and mechanism of interaction with proteases. The next chapters focus on the adventitious introduction of toxic factors into processed plant foods; the inactivation of the trypsin inhibitor and hemagglutinin found in legumes by cooking; and the extraction of a nontoxic, edible starch from cycads. The reader is also introduced to lathyrism, the toxicity of agglutinins, occurrence of goitrogens in thioglucoside-containing plants, and dietary sources of cyanogen. This book will be of interest and value to food scientists who are concerned with the safety of food supply and public health officials tasked with enforcing regulations necessary to ensure the safety of a particular food.

This book is one of a kind with analysis of near 8000 records of foods tested in Canada for glyphosate by Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA recently. Tests cover foods from over 60 countries, the bulk of which were foods produced in Canada and the United States, followed by India and China. No other country has conducted this many tests on food for glyphosate and no other analysis exists on this data as of now.North American foods are most contaminated by glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup weed killer, the most used herbicide in the planet.The book is over 300 pages long, with over 70,000 words, and more than 300 tables. The data is sorted in chapters, on glyphosate in food according to country of origin, and separately as per food types, such as grains, beans, flour, lentils, fruits, vegetables, and ready made meals, organic and gluten free foods. A lot of raw data figures are included.Attention is given to foods produced in North America, which contribute a bulk of the samples, followed by foods from India and China and a comparison between them. Some of the findings were as expected while some are totally unexpected, and often shocking.Here are a few examples:1) Canada and USA produce the most toxic foods on the planet, with regard to glyphosate contamination.2) Within North America, Canada produces foods with significantly higher levels of glyphosate.3) Within Canada, the west is where one can find more glyphosate contaminated foods than from other regions within Canada. Western Canada is ground zero, for finding nasty foods.5) Cleanest of food suppliers are Peru, Thailand, France, South Africa, Mexico, and China. China apparently exports cleaner foods than what locals consume inside China. For example, imported foods from China, averaging 3 ppb contamination, is 28 times cleaner than foods produced in the US, and over 45 times cleaner than foods produced in Canada.6) Foods imported from Mexico is 70 times cleaner than Canadian foods and over 40 times cleaner than foods originating in the United States.7) Conventional foods desiccated by glyphosate is far more contaminated with glyphosate than roundup ready GM crops.8) Out of the main cereals, rice is about the only one that is more or less without any glyphosate, except for some rice and rice-products produced in North America.9) Lentils and chickpea (garbanzo) produced in North America, as well as foods made with these ingredients are highly contaminated with glyphosate.10) Although soy flour may contain high glyphosate, tofu made out of soy has none.11) Wheat bran produced in Canada has an average of around 2,500 ppb of glyphosate in every sample.12) Organic foods are much better than conventional foods, but are not completely free of glyphosate. Gluten free foods are a mixed bag since some of them are high on glyphosate content, while others are clean.The author maintains that as long as safety data based on which glyphosate was approved for use in agriculture is kept out of reach of the public, and as long as independent verification of the results is denied, there is no proof that glyphosate is safe at any level of contamination. This book is meant to be a useful guide for people that have already reached a conclusion that glyphosate is an unwanted chemical to be in their food and would rather have a tool that helps them avoid it in their selection of foods to buy and eat.Retired EPA scientist Dr. Vallianatos wrote a review on Huffington Post:http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/tainting-the-cornucopia-of-north-america_us_58decd30e4b0ca889ba1a5cf

Toxins and Other Harmful Compounds in Foods provides information on the contents, distribution, chemical properties, and biological activity of toxins and other harmful compounds in foods that are natural components of the raw materials, accumulated due to microbial actions and environmental pollution, or are generated due to processing. This book shows how different factors related to the production of raw materials, as well as to storage and processing conditions, affect the presence and concentration of toxins and other harmful compounds in foods. It shows how various regulations, as well as unit operations and processes used in food production, may eliminate different toxins or generate new ones. The real health hazards for the consumers resulting from the presence of toxic/harmful compounds in aliments are discussed, and various national and international regulations obligatory in agriculture and industry aimed at increasing food safety are presented. Methods of analysis used for detection and determination of undesirable compounds are also discussed, making it possible to understand the effect of storage and processing parameters, as well as systems of quality assurance, on food safety and to select optimum procedures for analytical control.
