Take a second to check out this planetgreen.com article I saw posted by my kids' pediatrician on Facebook. It's pretty startling.

Cliff notes version...avoid the following foods.

1. Canned Tomatoes - the acid in tomatoes breaks down the BPA in the liner, leaching into the tomatoes in significant amounts.
2. Corn-Fed Beef - much reduced nutritional benefits versus grass-fed beef
3. Microwave Popcorn - the chemicals in the bag liners contain perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) that may be connected with infertility.
4. Conventionally Grown Potatoes - non-organic potatoes are treated with fungicides, herbicides, and other chemicals to prevent sprouting after harvesting.
5. Farmed Salmon - contaminants lowers vitamin D levels and includes some very nasty chemicals.
6. Milk produced with artificial hormones - growth hormones (which are prohibited in most other industrialized countries) increase the likelihood of udder infections, as well as may contribute to certain cancers.
7. Conventional Apples - non-organic apples receive heavy loads of pesticides
