In general, most molds are fairly well tolerated when consumed in small amounts."- Elson M. Haas, M.D., Staying Healthy with Nutrition: The Complete Guide to Diet and Nutritional Medicine (Get the book.) |

Be particularly careful of carry-out food from restaurants, which is often placed hot in styrene containers.
Storing or buying salty, acidic, or high-fruit-content foods in aluminum containers (such as carbonated beverages in cans) can cause high levels of metal contamination."- Dr. Paula Baillie-Hamilton, Toxic Overload: A Doctor's Plan for Combating the Illnesses Caused by Chemicals in Our Foods, Our Homes, and Our Medicine Cabinets (Get the book.) |
