It’s pretty much impossible to know if your organic fruits and veggies are safe. In fact, there is a new label on your produce that’s being widely marketed. In my opinion, it’s a terrible new experiment brought to you by Bill Gates, Katy Perry. 23&me founder and more. But no matter how many millions they’ve spent on making us believe it’s safe, IT’S NOT!
Apeel Sciences, based out of California and partnered with Bill Gates, Katy Perry and more, has created an edible film coating barrier that stops produce from rotting.
According to the FDA document that gives Apeel it’s ‘Generally Recognized as Safe’ (GRAS) status, “Apeel Sciences describes the manufacturing process for monoglycerides, beginning with conversion (protection) of the two primary alcohol groups on the glycerol backbone to non-reactive moieties….Apeel Sciences provides specifications for monoglyceride (≥ 91%) and diglyceride (≤ 7%) levels as well as limits for ethyl acetate (≤ 100 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg)), acetonitrile (≤ 5 mg/kg), toluene (≤ 5 mg/kg), hexane (≤ 25 mg/kg), and individual heavy metals (including LEAD (≤ 1 mg/kg), PALLADIUM (≤ 3 mg/kg) and ARSENIC (≤ 0.2 mg/kg)), in the finished product.”
Let’s just take a look at two of these chemicals:
Toluene is a highly toxic chemical. Even according to CDC, “Toluene is irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. It can cause systemic toxicity by ingestion or inhalation and is slowly absorbed through the skin.”
Hexane is easily inhaled and can cause long-lasting, even permanent, nerve damage. “Easily absorbed through the mucosa and skin, hexane has been recognized for more than 40 years to cause long-lasting and even permanent nerve damage in feet, legs, hands, and arms (peripheral neuropathy).”
In their FAQs they pretty much confirm the fact you can’t really remove the coating as much as you try, “You could likely remove some of Apeel with water and scrubbing, but it’s unlikely that you’d be able to remove all of it without damaging the fruit or vegetable. Apeel forms a barrier of edible material on the skin or peel, and it wouldn’t maintain the fruit’s natural freshness if it was easily removed.”
Truthfully, I would never trust anything that has the name of Bill Gates attached to it.
DETOX YOUR BODY FROM THESE HARMFUL CHEMICALS
If you are looking to do a heavy metal toxin cleanse you should seriously consider using spirulina. The biology of spirulina allows it to naturally absorb toxic and unwanted heavy metals from your body. It is a very effective way to detox your body. The chlorophyll in spirulina cleanses the blood and allows the body to use oxygen more effectively. It neutralizes and excretes toxins.
