the lunch kit with natural in its brand name had the highest Cadmium of anything they tested

the lunch kit with natural in its brand name had the highest Cadmium of anything they tested

I saw a healthy lunchable option at the store and went to look into it, (Lunchly) their smoked turkey and cheese kit came back with the highest Cadmium concentration with 22.5 ppb (lab). their pizza kit came back at 0.4 micrograms of Lead which is the exact same as the lunchables pizza with pepperoni, and californias daily limit for Lead is 0.5 micrograms a day.

so the word natural on the front of a box apparently means nothing at all here?? every single time the one that looks like the better option comes back the same or worse. why is natural even allowed on a package like that when their are heavy metals??

kerrygold butter has 122ppm of PFAS in their butter

an EPA certified lab tested butter wrappers for Organic Fluorine (the same chemical that comes when you scratch teflon pans), which is the marker they use for PFAS (Forever Chemicals), and kerrygold pure irish butter came back at 61 ppm on the unsalted wrapper and 122 ppm on the salted (source). Califonia's limit is 100ppm

it got pulled off shelves in new york and california in early 2023 and came back a couple months later with new packaging, and supposedly its better now. Why do companies not get used for this? I dont buy teflon pans for this reason and now I have to worry about my butter? its so stressful trying to stay non toxic, at least it was tested.

Seven Sundays Cereal has 10x more glyphosate than honey nut Cheerios

I follow Seven sundays on tiktok and saw a apology reel, their grain free cereal was tested to have 223ppb of glyphosate (the weed killer linked to cancer). EWG daily limit for glyphosate is 160ppb. I went and looked over the lab tests (source) and it had more glyphosate than all other cereals COMBINED.

I pay a premium for this brand, and my daughter eats it in her yogurt almost everyday. and while i appreciate the fact that they pledged to get better, this is absurd. the fact that honey nut cheerios beat them is crazy. i am shocked.

every lunch kit consumer reports tested came back positive for Phthalates except one

i keep seeing people say the lunchly kits are the healthier version of lunchables so i went and read the actual consumer reports testing on them, and the part nobody was even arguing about was the Phthalates. every kit they tested came back positive for at least one except the lunchables extra cheesy pizza, which is a weird one to be the outlier.

thats plasticizers, either from the packaging or picked up on the manufacturing line, in a product thats built so a kid eats straight out of a plastic tray. the metals arent great either, the lunchly the pizza kit and the lunchables pizza with pepperoni both came back at 0.4 micrograms of Lead per kit, and californias daily limit for Lead is 0.5 micrograms.

its the tray, the film, the little compartments, all of it, and none of it is an ingrediant so theres nothing on the box to read. surely its unnecessary for a lunch to be built like this. how do u even avoid this whole category, and does anyone have a lunchbox setup thats not plastic on plastic?

Glyphosate Usage and Cancer Diagnosis maps are identical

I saw a recent news article (source) and was convinced. The map for glyphosate usage and cancer rates are basically identical, with Iowa the highest sprayer of glyphosate per square acre also being only 1 of the 3 states with rising cancer rates. Conventional farmers spray glyphosate to kill weeds and right before harvest to dry the crop and this compound can drift in the air over 1k feet.

Our government (our lord and savior Donald) just listed glyphosate as a national security to bring its production back to the U.S. Wether or not you agree that these 2 are linked, its a carcinogen, why is it being backed by the government now?

the chocolate protein powder everyone drinks has way more Cadmium in it than the vanilla and nobody is talking about it

i saw a reel going around about lead in protein powder and went to actually fact check it, and the thing that stood out wasnt even the lead it was the Cadmium. the chocolate versions run way higher than the vanilla of the literal same brand, cause cocoa pulls Cadmium up out of the soil and concentrates it in the bean, so any chocolate one is starting from behind.

one popular organic chocolate protein came back around 128 ppb Cadmium, and once u do the math on a 33g scoop thats basically a full days worth of Cadmium in one shake before uve even eaten anything else. the clean label project tested like 160 of them and chocolate powders averaged around 110x more Cadmium than the vanilla ones, and plant based had way more than whey. and the part that got me is Cadmium doesnt really leave ur body, it builds up in ur kidneys for like 25 years, so its not a once in a while thing its the every single morning scoop that adds up.

whats wild is theres no federal limit on heavy metals in protein powder at all, nobody is even suppose to test it its all voluntary. is anyone else actually looking into this before they buy or am i the only one being paranoid about it? and if u drink protein daily whats a brand yall actually trust?

fda knew which company grew the lettuce that killed someone in 2024 and closed the case without ever saying the name

nov 2024 there was a romaine e coli outbreak, 89 sick across 15 states, 36 hospitalized, 1 dead. fda and cdc closed that investigation in january 2025 and never told the public which company grew it. the name only came out in april 2025 in federal court filings after a victim sued, it was taylor farms, and they deny it was thier product.

now that same company, 7 billion dollars and the biggest fresh cut produce processor in north america, is in the middle of the biggest Cyclospora outbreak this country has ever recorded. 6358 cases, 278 hospitalizations, 2 deaths in michigan as of the cdc aug 5 update, from iceberg lettuce out of thier central mexico plant that got recalled july 17 after already going out to at least 27 states. taco bell, jack in the box, sysco, marketside bags at walmart, and 5 more customers listed in the recall notice as abbreviations that reporters could not even identify.

and they pack bagged salad thats sold under other companys store brands, marketside, good & gather, simple truth, kirkland, some trader joes (list source), not every bag but enough that half the aisle is one processor and u cant see it from the front of the package. 4 companies control 54 percent of the fresh cut salad supply in this country. Crazy the government can foodmonger like this. why is the growers name treated like a trade secret when people are actually dying from it??

the avocado oil chips people buy to avoid seed oils are mostly just seed oils, 26 of 28 failed a lab test

saw a reel about this and went to fact check it and its actually wild. UC Davis tested avocado oil chips this year and 26 of 28 samples failed a purity test, meaning the oil didnt match real avocado oil, it was cut or swapped with cheaper Seed Oils like soybean canola and safflower. one sample straight up matched Soybean Oil, not avocado at all. (edit, source)

the whole reason people buy these is to dodge seed oils and your literally getting the exact thing your trying to avoid just at avocado oil prices. real avocado oil runs like 4 to 5 dollars a pound and the seed oils they cut it with are like 50 cents, and theres no FDA definition for avocado oil so the label can basically say whatever it wants. across everything they tested 48 of 54 avocado products failed, the dressings were 12 of 12.

and this isnt even new, they found the same thing back in 2020 with bottled oil so its just been moving into the finished products where u cant check it. how are you even suppose to catch this one when its not printed on the label anywhere? whats a chip brand yall actually trust that isnt doing this?

hello kids toothpaste tested at 493 ppb of Lead, the safe level for kids is 5

I saw a recent post about this and went and looked into it. hello, the naturally friendly kids brand, had thier fresh watermelon flavor lab tested in 2025 and it came back at 493 ppb of Lead and 19 ppb of Mercury. the level thats suppose to be protective for kids is 5 ppb lead and 2 ppb mercury.

the dragon dazzle flavor was 428. neither of these are on the label anywhere because they arent ingrediants, they just end up in there. theres a class action over it now. meanwhile the box says no artificial sweeteners, no dyes, no brainer.

Colgate bought hello in 2020 for 351 million and its the same story every single time, brand gets bought and quietly gets worse. how are you even suppose to catch this one? its not printed anywhere on the thing.

Raw Milk has to be label pet food to sell it?

After trying raw milk at a farm a while ago , i was curious as to why i had never seen it in grocery stores (i'm from midwest). the reason is that almost all states ban it, and if you do get it from a farmer it must be labeled as pet food and not for human consumption.

Raw milk has more nutrients (like calcium) as it isn't pasteurized, and is said to taste more like ice cream (i agree). why is it illegal to eat something like this, and where can you actually get raw milk?

Lab Grown Meat is FDA approved

in June of 2023 lab grown meat was FDA approved, with Tyson backing a Israeli biotech making it.

It's made by immortalizing scraped cells from a live animal, so they divide forever like a cancer cell, then feeding it growth serum so it turns back into flesh.

The massive biotech raised 390 million but went bankrupt last December. This is never going to work economics wise and even if it did you'd have to get the population to eat it (i'm not in favor personally)

Spraying Perfume on your neck is linked to infertility and possibly cancer

the "fragrance" term in perfumes is actually a federally protected blanket term allowing undisclosed compounds in the product. (source) one of these items that is almost always in such are phthalates, an endocrine disruptor and possible carcinogen

you spray this on your neck, everyday, your neck is the thinnest part of your skin allowing these endocrine disruptors to leach in causing cancer etc.

why are these even in perfumes? sadly im just hearing about this now, what alternatives to spraying perfume then?
