Description

What's really in your food? Award-winning investigative journalist and clean food activist Mike Adams, the "Health Ranger," is founder and editor of Natural News, one of the top health news websites in the world, reaching millions of readers each month. Now, in Food Forensics, Adams meticulously tests groceries, fast foods, dietary supplements, spices, and protein powders for heavy metals and toxic elements that could be jeopardizing your health. To conduct this extensive research, Adams built a state-of-the-art laboratory with cutting-edge scientific instruments. Publishing results of metal concentrations for more than 800 different foods, Food Forensics is doing the job the FDA refuses to do: testing off-the-shelf foods and sharing the findings so the public can make informed decisions about what they consume or avoid. In Food Forensics, you'll discover little-known truths about other toxic food ingredients such as polysorbate 80, MSG, sodium nitrite, pesticides, and weed killers such as glyphosate. Adams reveals stunning, never-before-reported details of heavy metals found in recycled human waste used on crops and in parks, and he explains how industrial pollution causes mercury, lead, and cadmium to end up in your favorite protein powders. This book will forever change your view of food safety, regulation, and manufacturing. When you know what's really in your food, you can start making changes to protect yourself against serious diseases like cancer, all while maximizing your natural immune defenses against infection and disease.

Reviews

It's a virtual 'encyclopedia' about toxins we don't know about in our foods." --Activist Post "Impressively researched, exceptionally well written, thoroughly 'reader friendly' in organization and presentation, [it] is a consistently informed and informative read from beginning to end." --Midwest Book Review "Food Forensics is an incredible, ground-breaking book. Just buy it. And read it. You won't be sorry. It might be the best decision of your life." --Ty Bollinger, author and documentary film producer, TheTruthAboutCancer.com "Mike Adams has done a great service for all those who are concerned about the quality of what goes into their body. Food Forensics is an essential reality guide to food and water in the 21st century." --Robert Scott Bell, D.A. Hom. "Radical, irreverent, always provocative. Mike Adams new book, Food Forensics, should be required reading for all the Big Food, Big Biotech apologists who continue to poison and mislead us, as well as for activists and concerned consumers." --Ronnie Cummins, cofounder and international director of the Organic Consumers Association "I emphatically agree that this book is an important public record of scientific truth. An amazing job on so many levels and an absolute must-read." --Michael T.
