Is This Carcinogen Hiding In Your Organic Food

Report Finds Carcinogen in Some Organic Dairy Foods

A Carcinogen is a substance or agent that causes cancer. The last place you want to find a carcinogen is in natural food especially food that is deemed organic.

A report from the organic industry watchdog explains there can be risky chemicals in organics.

This kind of thing can bring doubts about whether you can trust the organic label, especially with organic dairy products.

There are also some people who believe that by not eating dairy products you can reduce the risk of breast cancer.

A Carcinogen Hiding In Organic Dairy & Dairy Substitutes

One of the findings has to do with a carcinogenic ingredient all these products have in common, a substance derived from red algae called carrageenan.

Carrageenan can be found in most milk substitute products, infant formula, deli meats, cottage cheese and some flavored coconut waters regardless if the product is certified organic by the USDA.

I know so many people who get soy lattes from Starbucks to avoid having to consume conventional milk products, so I thought it would be pertinent to include them here on the list below since they and many other coffee shops use soy milk that contains carrageenan.

How In The World Can A Carcinogen Be Allowed Into Organic Food?

This is where the Cornucopia Institute does an extraordinary job showing you the timeline of events, lack of regulation, and downright shadiness that all led up to Carrageenan’s approval. They show you a series of situations where companies that profit from these ingredients were some of the only reviewers involved in the decision. It’s easy to understand how this can happen, now that organic food companies are being bought by major conventional food companies left and right.

I don’t know about you but I feel personally duped by Carrageenan. I assumed that once a product was certified organic like Pacific Almond Milk, it was perfectly safe to drink.

Even though Cornucopia estimates they are close to 300 chemical additives approved to be used in organics, there are still thousands approved for conventional products.

The facts presented here should not discourage you to eat less organic food, but to encourage you to fight for its regulations and ultimate safeguard.
