Common Spray Products Contain Toxic Chemicals
SIMPLE TIP OF THE DAY:
AVOID SPRAYS: COOKING SPRAYS CONTAIN CHEMICALS!
In the never-ending question for many people to be healthier and lower fat content, they may be ADDING even more toxic chemicals to their diet. One way many people choose to lower calories it to use oil “sprays” like Pam. There are two good reasons to avoid these products. #1 most will contain GMOs. If they are canola, corn or vegetable oil you can basically guarantee it as nearly all corn and canola in the US is GMO now. Unless you buy these products organic you can assume it is GMO. #2 are the chemicals used to make it “spray”.
“Consumers like Christine Sturges, one of the plaintiffs in a suit against ConAgra, has gluten allergies and reads labels vigilantly.
When she heard about a lawsuit involving the Pam cooking spray, she took a closer look. “There was nothing scary on it, just this innocuous word, ‘propellant,’ ” said Ms. Sturges, a hairdresser from Los Gatos, Calif.
After digging deeper, she learned that “propellant” included petroleum gas, propane and butane. “I’d been spraying that on muffin tins to make muffins for my grandchildren — oh my God!”
So reading the ingredient list now it often not going to give consumers the information they need to protect themselves. The best thing you can do to protect yourself and family from these “hidden” chemical is to buy foods in their most pure forms! Avoid sprays, foams and other products and still with old fashioned oils out of glass bottles.
