Does FruitsMax contain pesticides?
1629037
FruitsMax doesn't contain pesticides and it is preservative free. The reason we are able to have 2 years of shelf life without using preservatives is because Lyophilization technology enables us to extract the water out of fruits leaving the nutrients untouched. And since there is a "no water" environment in the tablets they don't get spoiled and the harmful bacteria can't be developed. Therefore there is no need to fight them with preservatives.

Unlike in 2012, when Muir Glen's inner can lining was white plastic (containing BPA), Muir Glen's inner can lining is now shiny, metallic copper that is coated with transparent, clear, vinyl plastic. Contadina and many other brands of canned tomato products are buying their cans from the same manufacturer and using the exact same inner can lining as Muir Glen. Vinyl has been shown to sometimes contain cancer-causing nitrosamines and sometimes not. Phthalates are in most of the plastics that we use every day, including vinyl plastic products: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phthalate The big picture is that people who eat tomato products regularly will have about a 20% lower risk of developing more than a dozen killer diseases compared to people who don't eat tomato products regularly. Because the beneficial carotenoid, lycopene, becomes much more bioavailable in cooked and canned tomato products than in fresh tomato products,people who eat canned tomato products regularly have been shown in scientific studies to have a just slightly lower risk of developing diseases than people who eat fresh tomatoes regularly. Thus, tomatoes are very unusual. With people who eat cabbage family vegetables, the people who eat raw cabbage family vegetables regularly live much, much longer than people who eat cooked, canned, or frozen-then-boiled cabbage family vegetables regularly. Also, people who add just a small amount of extra virgin olive oil to their tomato-containing foods will have about a 40% lower risk of developing more than a dozen killer diseases instead of just 20%. With pesticide residues, canned tomato products and fresh large tomatoes are surprisingly low compared to fresh cherry tomatoes, cherries, apples, strawberries, blueberries, grapes, raisins, peaches, nectarines, celery, cucumbers, sweet bell peppers, and spinach, which are all very high: http://nutrition.edublogs.org/page/5/

the cyanide is bound. As a child during summer times I had been eating apricot kernels raw from the pits. As I recall being 3 years old, I was eating them as many as my father was giving us and none got poisoned. In fact, we all were healthy. My grand parents were eating them all their lives without counting hoe many they were eating and lived up to 96 and 98 without any health problems.

After writing this feedback I contacted the person who has the distribution in Latin America, and this was her reply. I hope it helps.. Thanks for reaching out to us and sorry for the concern our box warning may have caused. I'm not sure if you have ever heard of prop 65, but here is a blog post that explains it in a little more detail: http://www.redmondclay.com/prop65/. Although there is a varying amount of natural lead many of the foods we eat, and we probably would not even need to have it on a toothpaste, we decided to error on the side of caution and put the label on the box. This is why some of the boxes contain the prop 65 warning and some others don't - yet. We plan to put it on all of them to avoid potential costly prop 65 lawsuits. As you will see in the ingredient list Redmond Clay is the base product for Earthpaste and this type of clay has a lot of elements and minerals in it in varying amounts. Here is an elemental analysis of the clay so you can see everything it has: http://www.redmondtrading.com/pdfs/RedmondClay_MineralAnalysis.pdf. Most clay experts agree that the "harmful" metals in clay are not bioavailable or absorbable by the body because of the way they are attached to the clay, but we can appreciate your concern. Knowing the properties of clay many peopletake clay as a daily supplement and many books have been written on the properties of this type of clay even with the elemental profile of the clay. Here is another link that talks about the aluminum in clay and contains other links on the subject. http://www.redmondclay.com/2012/what-about-the-aluminum-in-redmond-clay/. Also, here is one more you may find helpful in your research: http://www.cleanse.net/hydratedbentoniteclay.html.http://www.redmondclay.com/prop65/http://www.rcherbals.com/prop65/

Use of herbicides on or near food plants/trees/etc should be done with caution. I'd check with your local farm extension office to see if this is systemic (taken up into the plant) or not. If systemic, it'll go into the fruit.

Yes. The info on the page says: "They are 100% Non-GMO, open-pollinated". They are very clear that these are natural organic seeds in their ad. The packaging is amazing and airtight enough to last almost forever. I haven't had a single seed that didn't grow so far. I see no mention of pesticide, just a lot of pride in being natural organic seeds.

The only thing in this product is 100% Organic Whole Psyllium. I can't imagine what they could possibly find hazardous in this product. It is stated on their label that where their crops are grown, no pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers, and post-harvest chemical treatments are used. I can't figure out California's problem unless they have something against this company. Hope this helps.

I buy this brand because the only ingredient is coconut. There are no "fraken-foods" ingredients such as guar gums, carragean, etc. In addition, the cans are bpa free. Organic means no pesticides. If you have non organic without artifical ingredients you should be in pretty good shape.

Yes, this product does have a warning label. I just received my 1lb maca Powder and saw a warning label on it. I read what Healthworks wrote about Cal Prop 65. We already consume so much lead throughout our daily intakes, so "0.5 mcg/day" using this particular Maca powder adds up to a toxic level. I will return this product. I purchased this before Healthworks post their answer. Since others answered that they did not see a warning label, I purchased it. I should have closely read the small print on the image.

One thing to note about quinoa is that the saponin, the bitter residue that needs to be rinsed off of quinoa (this product says it is pre-washed), is a natural pest repellent. So it is likely that pesticides are not needed in the harvesting of quinoa, organic or not. The label organic refers to a product that meets certain criteria in the harvesting and production... but it is not always necessary... for example there is no benefit to organic bananas and avocados over their conventionally grown counterparts. I cannot say for sure if this is the same with quinoa, but given the natural saponin, it's probably a good bet that conventionally grown quinoa is safe.

I'm looking at the jar. It's non-gmo verified. It does not specifically "pesticide free" or "organic".
