Food Toxins
Often toxins are found within our food but we give them no notice unless they effect us immediately. Things like salmonella or food poisoning will normally set in right away, while other toxins such as pesticides and hormones may not have any effect on us immediately but can build over time to cause health problems. So how can you keep yourself safe from cross-contamination in the kitchen and how can you reduce your intake of dietary hormones? These questions and more are answered by our expert toxicologist.
