Think you know what's in your food? You'd be surprised.
It may seem like the government has our best interests in mind when it comes to food, but the FDA has green-lighted a number of products that are forbidden by other countries, but somehow safe for Americans.

Read MoreFor the past few months, Natural News has been warning the world about toxic heavy metals found in foods, superfoods and dietary supplements grown in China. Our Natural News Forensic Food Lab has produced breakthrough results showing, for example, that rice protein imported from China is significantly contaminated with lead, cadmium and tungsten -- all industrial heavy metals.
Read MoreFifty years ago, it was virtually unheard of. But today, diabetes mellitus, a serious metabolic disorder, afflicts more than 150 million people globally, with a bulk of this number hailing from North America. And researchers out of Asia, having published their findings back in 2009, exposed toxic heavy metals as a major, and perhaps even primary, contributor to this growing disease epidemic.
Read MoreFor more than a half-century, North American farmers have been spraying atrazine, an herbicide, on their crops -- most notably corn -- in the millions of pounds per year.
This widespread use of the weed killer has also created no small amount of runoff, ensuring that atrazine winds up in lakes, streams and, on occasion, even drinking water, according to a recent report by Global News.
Read MoreHalf a century ago, a scientist was trying to create a clean lab that he could use to study radioactive materials free of contamination. But no matter what he tried, his tests kept reporting that they were contaminated with lead. Finally, he realized the source: the lead was coming from the air itself—put there by decades of cars burning leaded gasoline. Eventually, the U.S. Congress passed the Clean Air Act, removing lead from gasoline.

So just how healthy are the foods you eat regularly?
Read More”Our research shows that many common foods contain mercury and other contaminants,” said Natural News. “We are finding and documenting heavy metals in all sorts of dietary products, including organic foods, protein supplements, herbal supplements, beverages, vitamin pills and more.
Organic farms in 53 out of 58 counties in California are set to produce "faked," cheapened organic meat and dairy products in the first quarter of 2014.
In the face of a historic drought, California's organic standards have been cut in half. Instead of requiring livestock to graze on nutrient-rich grass for four months, the standards will be slashed to accommodate drought conditions. During the drought, livestock will only be required to graze for two months, allowing farmer's to bring in emergency feed for their livestock, which scientifically cheapens the nutritive, organic standards.

The study, published in The Lancet Neurology, finds a list of common chemicals are likely contributing to what the researchers are calling the “global, silent pandemic of neurodevelopmental toxicity” in children, reports Forbes.
Read MoreOver the past hundred years, the industrialization of agriculture has revolutionized the way we grow food, the way we live, and the food we eat. Efficient machinery, irrigation, and the use of pesticides and better fertilizers has allowed for the growth of high yielding crops, so much so that grain production has more than doubled within the last 60 years. Despite the immediate benefits of modern agriculture practices, a wide variety of issues have developed, which now threaten the sustainability of vegetation and our overall health.
Modern Farms and Monocultures
The specialized machinery of large farms requires only one crop to be grown at a time. This is known as a monocrop. Currently, only three crops account for 60% of the world’s diet: rice, corn, and wheat. As a result, agricultural diversity has considerably decreased. Traditionally, multiple crops were grown together in the same fields. This practice is still typically found in the rainforest, wherein numerous grains, vegetables, trees, fruits, and root crops are all grown together. Allowing for such biodiversity protects against stripping the land of precious nutrients, in addition to warding off any pests, such as birds and insects, which might be repelled by certain plants. Monocrops, though yielding a significantly high amount, are more vulnerable to pests and loss of nutrients. This phenomenon is essentially coined “over farming.” Over farming has created a reliance on chemicals, such as pesticides and fertilizers, just to keep these crops alive and profitable.
