Food homotoxicity<br />
• Industrialized and refined foodstuffs<br />

Industrial and refined food is certainly one <strong>of</strong> the reasons for an increasing food<br />
intolerance in children and young adults. With a lower nutritional value (biological<br />
value) and even calorie value (light products) we see a higher use <strong>of</strong><br />
preservatives and additives. Food substances that initial were natural<br />
components become homotoxins due to the production facilities and treatment<br />
they undergo before ending up in the store. Food is heated and dried, vacuum<br />
packed and radiated, conserved with antioxidants and chemicals. Even if<br />
standards are set on maximum daily levels, most <strong>of</strong> these substances have not<br />
been monitored for daily intake over decades.<br />
