New Dutch research suggests that low levels of

man-made chemicals in common foods such as bread, milk

and butter could build up in the human body and cause

harm.

 

Dutch research cited by WWF-UK (World Wildlife Fund)

indicates that low levels of chemicals from the

environment or food packaging can be present in foods

in low levels. Some scientists believe that even low

levels of such chemicals can accumulate in the body

and cause health problems.

 

The Dutch scientists found low levels of flame

retardants, pesticides, artificial fragrances,

non-stick chemicals and phthalate chemicals from

plastics in foods. Research conducted at the London

School of Pharmacy suggests that even low doses of

such chemicals can combine over time to produce

serious medical conditions.

 

Natural health advocate Mike Adams, author of " Grocery

Warning, " says certain chemicals used in food

packaging have already started causing problems for

humans and the environment. For example, fish

throughout the Potomac River have been discovered in

large numbers with both male and female sex organs,

and Adams points out that human girls are now showing

signs of puberty as young as 3 years old.

Hormone-related cancers have skyrocketed in recent

years, Adams says, largely because hormones in animals

and humans have begun mimicking chemicals --

especially those that come from plastics.

 

Health authorities in the UK have said consumers and

manufacturers should not be complacent about chemicals

in their foods, but that further research is needed to

determine how certain substances react with one

another, as well as the products of those reactions.
