This list scares me to death! I try to not buy anything with these ingredients in it unless they are organic of course! In a few weeks I think I am going to dissect different boxed/canned/preserved food so you can actually see what is in them. Hang on to your seat!
Canola Oil
Soy
Corn
Rice
Tomatoes
Potatoes
Cottonseed
Papaya
Peas
& Dairy Products
Instead of the list above, here are things I use instead...
Coconut Oil, Avocado Oil or Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil NOT Canola Oil.
I try to stick to organics when it comes to soy or I steer clear.
Organic corn (although this is hard, corn is practically in everything in every form) Be cautious!
We eat a lot of quinoa or occasionally go with barley in our house, not much rice.
Tomatoes - in the summertime I grow my own heirloom seeds, in winter I buy organic.
This year we finally grew our own red potatoes, normally I buy organic sweet potatoes.
I'm not sure I have ever had papaya, but curious now. I will get it organic!
Organic peas all the way, grow your own if you cant find them
Dairy products- we drink raw milk (it is safe with lactose problems, although we don't drink a lot. It takes 5 of us to drink a gallon every 2-3 weeks) I used to be a horrible ice cream eater {YUM!} I don't do that much anymore. If I go for ice cream we usually hit up Red Mango to make ourselves feel a little better, Greek yogurt (we don't consume a lot but I should go organic on this) and cheese... I need to find a better cheese. We do eat cheese and just get the local stuff which is probably not safe unfortunately.
Happy Eating!
