The Cumulative Food Toxin Load UC Davis study (currently the EPA looks only at individual toxin risk):
Not exact matches
Instead of the
foods contributing to high
cumulative cancer
toxin loads in our children (like processed
foods, processed grains, and chips and grains) try a tray or two of these gems and see how your children are drawn to less
toxin loaded
foods.
The study, Cancer and non-cancer health effects from
food contaminant exposures for children and adults in California: a risk assessment also discussed in this article, Kids may risk cancer from
toxins in
food looked at
cumulative toxin load in children for 11
food based
toxins in 44
foods and found that all of the 364 children exceeded cancer benchmark levels for arsenic, dieldrin, DDE (a DDT metabolite), and dioxins.
They affect all of us and this study by UC Davis [Vogt et al, 2008] found that for children, the
cumulative toxin load in all 364 children evaluated for 11
food based
toxins in 44
foods, exceeded cancer benchmark levels for arsenic, dieldrin, DDE (a DDT metabolite), and dioxins, AND 10 % exceeded mercury levels!
