A new study has found typical foods in the American diet still contain a number of toxins that have long been banned or reduced in production — including DDE (a DDT metabolite), dioxins, arsenic, dieldrin, and acrylamide.
..."Contaminants get into our food in a variety of ways," said Irva Hertz-Picciotto, chief of the Division of Environmental and Occupational Health at University of California-Davis, who helped conduct the study published in the journal Environmental Health.
...The results showed 364 children in the study had significant exposures to arsenic, dieldrin, DDE and dioxins, and acrylamide. Pesticide exposure was particularly high in tomatoes, peaches, apples, peppers, grapes, lettuce, broccoli, strawberries, spinach, dairy, pears, green beans, and celery.
