residue of the chemical

We used to say, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." ... but now, those lovely looking apples we eat are full of pesticides. Even the worms do not want to eat them! Furthermore, most of these apples are grown thousands of miles away, picked while they are still green and exposed to ethylene gas so they can ripen as they are being shipped to their destination in a truck. Not only do these fruits still carry a residue of the chemical but because they are picked early, they may have little or no nutritional value by the time they reach your kitchen table.

Our modern food supply has become a mixture of chemicals and additives with the emphasis on appearance and taste as well as shelf life, rather than on the nutritional value. That's why by middle age many people have as much as 20 pounds of undigested, putrefactive food in their colon. No wonder why colon cancer is the number one cancer in the United States.
