1. Endocrinologist advised not to eat canned tomatoes
Resin coating cans contain bisphenol A (BPA). BPA is a synthetic estrogen that has been linked to diseases ranging from reproductive problems, heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Acidity of the tomatoes can cause BPA to leach into food.

The study shows that high levels of BPA in the body can suppress sperm production or cause damage to the chromosomes in the eggs of animals.

"Someone could get 50 mcg of BPA per liter of canned tomatoes. The solution is to pick tomatoes in glass bottles," said Fredrick Vom Saal, an endocrinologist at the University of Missouri.

2. Experts recommend that farms do not consume beef eat corn instead of grass
Cows evolved to eat grass, not grains. But animal feed and soybean are often used to fatten animals more quickly in order to be slaughtered.

Compared with corn-fed beef, grass-fed beef has a higher content of beta carotene, magnesium, vitamin E, omega 3, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), calcium, and potassium.

3. Toxicologists recommend not eating foods cooked in microwave
According to a new study from UCLA, chemicals, including perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), is part of a class of compounds that can be associated with infertility in humans. In animal testing, these chemicals can cause cancer of the liver, testis, and pancreas.

The study shows that, microwaves cause the chemicals to evaporate and migrate into the food. These chemicals can stay and accumulate in the body for years.

"The solution is not too cook food using microwave, although it is indeed a very practical way.," Said Olga Naidenko, a senior scientist for Environmental Working Group.

There is also concern about the high levels of antibiotics and pesticides used on the fish.

"The solution is best to choose fish caught from the sea or a lake, rather than cultured," Dr. David Carpenter, director of the Institute for Health and Environment at the University at Albany.

6. Cancer researchers advise not to consume milk produced with artificial hormones
Manufacturers of dairy cows treated with recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH or rBST) to increase milk production. But rBGH also increase infection in milk. It also leads to higher levels of a hormone called insulin-like growth in milk.

"In people with high levels of IGF-1 can cause breast cancer, prostate, and colon. The solution is to choose a label for packaging milk rBGH-free, rBST-free, produced without artificial hormones, or organic milk," said Rick North director of the Campaign for Safe Food, Oregon Physicians for Social Responsibility and CEO of the Oregon division of the American Cancer Society.

7. Researchers suggest organic foods not to eat apples are sprayed with pesticides
Apples are individuals who grafted or derived from a single tree. So that each variety to maintain a distinctive flavor. Thus, the apple did not develop resistance to pests.

"Exposure to pesticides can be harmful to health, which is instrumental in the development of some cancers and Parkinson's disease," said Mark Kastel of the researchers on organic food.
