stop eating baby carrots.*The small cocktail (baby) carrots you buy in small plastic bags are madeusing the larger crooked or deformed carrots which are put through a machinewhich cuts and shapes them into cocktail carrots.
Most people probably knowthis already.What you may not know and should know is the following: once the carrots arecut and shaped into cocktail carrots they are dipped in a solution of waterand chlorine in order to preserve them (this is the same chlorine used yourpool) since they do not have their skin or natural protective covering, theygive the m a higher dose of chlorine. You will notice that once you keepthese carrots in your refrigerator for a few days, a white covering willform on the carrots; this is the chlorine which resurfaces. At what cost dowe put our health at risk to have esthetically pleasing vegetables which arepractically plastic?We do hope that this information c an be passed on to as many peopleas possiblein the hopes of informing them where these carrots come from and how theyare processed. Chlorine is a very well known carcinogen. Please let us makethis information available to as many people as possible. If you care aboutyour family and friends, pass it on.
