Don't Poison Yourself at Dinner

This is from the Blaylock Report. It is his tip of the week.

Your entire family’s safety is at risk every time you shop for food. From salmonella in chickens, to deadly contaminants in food grown in China, to pesticides and other chemicals used on fruits and vegetables grown south of the border, foods sold in grocery stores across America are harboring dangerous chemicals and bacteria.

However, few people are aware of the dangers and expect government agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration to protect them. (For information on the dangers found in many imported foods as well as those produced in the U.S.You can take steps to reduce your risk of food poisoning:

Consider growing your own vegetables and fruits. They can be grown in your yard or in hydroponic gardens indoors. Using hydroponics would allow you to grow produce in the winter. Likewise, natural insect control is vital, using insects such as ladybugs. You also can use other biological control systems.

Buy locally grown foods. Talk to farmers and ask about pesticide and herbicide use. Organic farms are popping up all over the place, and have been growing at a rate of 15 percent a year with no end in sight.

Buy organically fed and free-range meats. But don’t expect even organic meats to free you automatically from the fear of mad-cow disease. Unfortunately, the government prevents cattle ranches from testing their cattle for the disease.

Wash all vegetables and fruits. To wash your vegetables properly, fill a 2-gallon pot with purified water (filtered) and add two caps of vegetable wash such as Fit Fruit & Vegetable Wash. For information on how to wash and store vegetables and fruits safely, go here

When buying organic produce, make sure that it looks healthy. Plants with spots and bruises are not safe to eat. Sick plants infected with molds, viruses, and bacteria secrete powerful toxic substances to protect themselves, and they are very toxic to people.
Avoid injected meats and poultry. You may have noticed that most whole birds and many hams have a carefully worded label that says they were injected with either gluten, natural flavors, or hydrolyzed protein extracts. In essence, this is a glutamate mixture much like MSG. And like MSG, it is toxic to your body, especially the brain.

Wash your poultry well. It also is important to wash whole birds before you cook them. Many are covered in chemicals and bacteria contamination. Just hold the bird under the water and scrub the skin with a vegetable brush. All foods should be washed thoroughly before cooking.
Cook all meats completely, even steaks. Most animals, especially cattle and chickens, are infected with carcinogenic viruses and there is compelling evidence that humans can develop cancer from these viruses. Several studies have shown that slaughterhouse workers and those who butcher meat have significantly higher rates of lymphomas and leukemias than the general population. These are the same cancers found in cattle and chickens.
