We are exposed to toxins from the foods we eat, the air we breathe, and the water we drink. In the U.S. alone there are 1700 new chemicals released every year by the EPA. Only 25% of these chemicals have been tested for toxicity according to the World Book Encyclopedia. Recent research by the Environmental Working Group evaluated the blood of newborn babies, and found industrial chemicals in their blood. These babies had not yet been exposed to the toxins in the air or water outside the womb.
