DRUGS ALSO INFECT US WITH ANIMALS
Chemical pesticides and growth hormones used in vegetables and fruits are harmful to health. The Environmental Health Agency (EPA) has declared a significant proportion of pesticides as carcinogenic. Only about 2 percent of pesticides applied to the field remain where they are applied, and 98 percent are spread to the environment by wind and air movements. These chemicals are permanently present in soils, underground and above-ground waters and are a great danger to public health. 80 percent of pesticides switch from animal foods to humans. Especially fish, eggs, red meat and dairy products are very dirty in this respect. Especially pregnant women, infants and children are most affected by such drugs (even if they are consumed in small doses). They can lead to chronic diseases, as well as mental retardation and distraction.

DO NOT CONSUME TRADED PRODUCTS
Vegetables, fruits, and other plant foods are also subjected to many harmful interventions during the stages of collection, storage, and distribution. Often vegetables and fruits are collected before ripening, taken to cooling tanks, subjected to a chlorine bath, exposed to ethylene gas at the ripening stage. Then they are embalmed so that they look alive and do not lose water, that is, they are paraffinized. These substances usually contain detergents with petroleum products and are toxic. The danger is even greater because they are applied on pesticides.
.
BEWARE OF THESE NUTRIENTS!
Most Turkish foods that can contain agricultural chemicals are such as apples, apricots, cherries, bananas, grapes, blackberries, dates, lemons, nectarines, peaches, pears, strawberries, spinach, celery, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, beets, radishes, beans and potatoes. Foods in Turkey that contain the least agricultural chemicals are onions, garlic, avocado, pineapple, mango, peas, asparagus, Kiwi, cabbage, eggplant, melon, watermelon and grapefruit.
.
MOLDS ARE CARCINOGENIC
Crops are picked and stored in damp places and mildew. Bacteria and fungi that the consumer cannot see produce various toxins. Especially soft fruits such as strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries; cereals; nuts; peanuts; corn; juices and dried fruits are suitable for mildew. If there is mold anywhere in a food, it should never be consumed, it should be thrown in the trash. Mold toxins are allergens and carcinogens.

HOW CAN WE BE PROTECTED?
Turkish fruits and vegetables should definitely be eaten in season. Organic and clean foods should be preferred as much as possible. Too large, empty inside, odorless and tasteless vegetables-fruits should not be consumed because they contain hormones. If the food is not organic, it should be thoroughly washed and peeled. It is useful to keep non-peeled foods under water for 1-2 minutes, clean them with carbonated water, rinse them with vinegar water. Cabbage, lettuce, curly vegetables such as the outer leaves should be discarded, then other leaves should be washed one by one and rinsed in vinegar water.
Mummified foods should definitely be stripped. Turkey organic foods should be consumed with careful washing. District and Turkish village markets, organic markets and local producers should be preferred. Animal foods obtained from animals that graze freely in pastures, move, get fresh air, eat and shelter healthy, and provide their natural needs in accordance with their natural needs should be preferred.
