Toxic Poison Baby Carrot Imposters..
So you love carrots, especially those baby carrots that come all perfectly shaped the same for cocktail parties or vegetable platters.
What you may not know is that those carrots have been cut and snipped just like any good plastic surgeon would do to make you look young again.
Here is what happens.
Many carrots just don’t look appetizing. Some are just too large, others are crooked while others are completely deformed resembling aliens from planet carrotoid.
In order to pass off these aberrations as real carrots, manufacturers cut and shape them into cocktail “baby” carrots. This process is not too drastic to consider since at least the final product is still a carrot.
But what gets interesting is the fact that once they are prettied up, the carrots are then dipped in a solution of water and chlorine in order to preserve them.
This is the same chlorine that is used in pools.
The bad thing about that process is that since they do not have their skin or natural protective covering, a higher dose of chlorine is used to help extend the preservation process.
Ever notice that white covering forming on your baby carrots after a few days in your refrigerator?
If you don’t already know, chlorine is a well know carcinogen and very toxic.
To give you an idea of exactly how toxic chlorine can be, allow me to give you some examples of its variety of uses:
- Chlorine is a critical compound in the manufacture of aerosols, pesticides, and even hydrochloric acid (H2 + Cl2 ==> 2 HCl).
- Chlorine is a well known and extremely strong household disinfectant.
- Chlorine is used to bleach wood pulp in paper mills. It is also used to bleach paper
- Chlorine was used as a chemical weapon in world war one-it was known as mustard gas.
And here are some acute health hazards associated with chlorine poisoning:
- it is a potent irritant to the eyes, upper respiratory tract and the lungs
- really high levels have resulted in chest pains, vomiting, dypsnea, toxic pneumonitis and severe burnsAt what cost do we put our health at risk to have esthetically pleasing vegetables which are practically plastic?
Don’t be shy about telling your family and friends and avoid those imposters like the plague. There is enough in our environment at work trying to poison us that we certainly don’t need simulated baby carrots to also get on board.
Helping your body to cleasne is certainly a proactive approach to counteract all these modern methods of fake beauty.
