What's in our food?

This week on Good Morning America was all about our food system and is it safe. A study was taken by a Harvard Scientist and found that a chemical called BPD has been added to can goods to preserve the food inside. They did a study on mice and gave the same dose of BPD that is added to can food and it showed the mice getting sick and over a period of time got cancer. The FDA stated that they had no case on humans getting sick from the small dose of BPD chemical. There is a solution and that is to buy organic fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables. If you can not afford the fresh fruits and vegetables try to buy package or glass jar vegetables. This is a great reason to go to the Farmer's market the food is safe, local and organic.
