All synthetic chemicals and compounds used to grow, prepare or process foods are harmful to human health. They are absorbed by our intestines, skin and tissues and result in significant health complications and conditions over time. It is a well known fact that synthetic chemicals and compounds can cause serious reactions, side effects and toxicity.
