There are plenty of gross things that you probably wouldn’t eat in the first place, but this website has a list of seven things that you probably eat all the time that some scientists would never consider putting in their mouths for one reason or another: additives, unsanitary production methods, chemical leaching from packaging, etc. You probably won’t be too surprised at the things that made the list, although one of them took me a little by surprise. Also, a couple of them are so ubiquitous in our commoditized food supply that there’s no real alternative except to stop eating those things altogether.


Which surprised you more, potatoes or canned tomatoes? Those were the two that struck me, although I wouldn’t necessarily have guessed a couple of others. Also, great photo!
The potatoes, although I was surprised about just how much BPA was in the cans.
