*Credit* *written by Edward Casanova | Nov 21, 2019* So, wanting to get rid of all those deadly toxins (mercury, pesticides such as DDE and DDT, PCB or PFCs, etc.) found in foods such as fish, meat, poultry and eggs? Well, just stop eating them! [1] [2] If you wanted to hear good news about your bad habits, sorry, this post is only for mentally strong people that are willing to digest the hard truth. No magic celery juice, pill or diet regimen it’s going to work if you keep filling your body with shit instead of good whole-food plant-based material. These deadly toxins, insecticides such as DDT, can last in the soil for decades and creep up the whole food chain into the fat of the animals you eat. [3] And even if the argument about plants being equally affected by these chemicals is valid, seems that whole food plant-based eaters have lower levels of dioxins in their bodies. [4] ## Your daily deadly cocktail Many people are concerned with exposing their children to mercury-containing vaccines but ironically they have no problem serving them cans of tuna or dairy for breakfast. Tuna ranking the highest in mercury content [5](http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3551655/bin/1476-069X11-83-S3.doc); diary, in lead content and poultry, in arsenic. [6] And let’s not forget about eggs and processed meat. The best friends mouth, colon, bladder, prostate, and breast cancer. [7, 8, 9, 10] But don’t worry…still delicious isn’t it? ## How do they get in our food? Even in you are still thinking about switching to grass-fed beef or organic meat and dairy you are still in risk of catching up with these bad boys. The polluted chemicals can just come down in the rain, get into the soil and inside your red-meat burger. [11] However, if you’re pregnant don’t panic. You naturally detoxify yourself by passing all these chemicals through your breast milk to your first kid. The latter brothers and sisters will have a better chance of not developing neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s because as the saying goes, the first man through the door often gets shoot. [12, 13] Okay, enough joking and a moment of silence for these little guys. [14] ## What’s the way out? This is the part where almost everyone gets discouraged because they aren’t willing to give up their red-meat Sunday barbecues or fried fish in the beach in exchange for a healthy lifestyle and offspring. You don’t have to wait too long to see the results. Apparently, mercury levels drop after 2 months on people who stopped consuming fish, the body got rid of nearly 99% of it. Unfortunately, PCBs and DDT stay with us for longer times. [15] It’s up to you to keep waiting or swallow the red pill and shift right now.
