What’s really in your food?

Award-winning investigative journalist and clean food activist Mike Adams, the “Health Ranger,” is founder and editor of Natural News, one of the top health news websites in the world, reaching millions of readers each month.

Now, in Food Forensics, Adams meticulously tests groceries, fast foods, dietary supplements, spices, and protein powders for heavy metals and toxic elements that could be jeopardizing your health.

To conduct this extensive research, Adams built a state-of-the-art laboratory with cutting-edge scientific instruments. Publishing results of metal concentrations for more than 800 different foods, Food Forensics is doing the job the FDA refuses to do: testing off-the-shelf foods and sharing the findings so the public can make informed decisions about what they consume or avoid.

In Food Forensics, you’ll discover little-known truths about other toxic food ingredients such as polysorbate 80, MSG, sodium nitrite, pesticides, and weed killers such as glyphosate. Adams reveals stunning, never-before-reported details of heavy metals found in recycled human waste used on crops and in parks, and he explains how industrial pollution causes mercury, lead, and cadmium to end up in your favorite protein powders.

This book will forever change your view of food safety, regulation, and manufacturing. When you know what’s really in your food, you can start making changes to protect yourself against serious diseases like cancer, all while maximizing your natural immune defenses against infection and disease.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Food Forensics definitely is a 'must have' book for serious-minded researchers, healthcare practitioners and consumers, plus everyone who eats...It's a virtual 'encyclopedia' about toxins we don't know about in our foods."

-- "Activist Post"

"Impressively researched, exceptionally well written, thoroughly 'reader friendly' in organization and presentation, [it] is a consistently informed and informative read from beginning to end."

-- "Midwest Book Review"

"Mike Adams has done a real public service by exposing the deceit and arming consumers with the knowledge to make informed decisions about the food they eat. Food Forensics is a must read for anyone wanting not only to avoid disease but to achieve optimal health and well-being."

-- "Gretchen DuBeau, executive and legal director of the Alliance for Natural Health"

"This book is an important public record of scientific truth. An amazing job on so many levels and an absolute must-read."

-- "Michael T. Murray, ND, coauthor of The Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine" --This text refers to the audioCD edition.

Amazing Research, and Well .Presented.

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

I am not oly writing about the writing quality of this book, but also about the awe-inspiring intricacy and thoroughness of research. Few people would buy a lab and go on an exploration of such a huge field as Mr. Adams has attempted, and very few if any could bring it to production in the excellent state this book is in. If you want a reference that will not become obsolete with next week's internet amazing discovery, do not hesitate to buy a copy .... for the simple reason that individual products and supplements may go out of style ... or even run out of town on a rail ... but the basic scientific reserch goes on, and this book has it. You can use it superficially to look up an individaul item, or you can delve into the mass of information layered below it. I don't think you will be disappointed. I was not.

Finally, an un-corrupted, self funded food research scientist who is telling us the truth

Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2016

Verified Purchase

Finally, a food research scientist who is self-funded who tells the truth about what we call food today in this once great agricultural mecca. Astounding is the first word that comes to mind when confronted with the bare facts of how toxic the products in our grocery stores and restaurants are. They may look good and taste good, but they are not food. They are powerfully toxic, yet enticingly convenient products that we eat.

The saddest part of all is that we are feeding our children this poison junk.

In a very few short years we have dropped to a third world level sick care system, a third world level education indoctrination system, a third world type of oligarchical political system, and now we are virtually guaranteeing the mental and physical destruction of our future leaders by poisoning our children in yet another way.

Thanks, Mike Adams for your courage.

Half Great Info; Half Not So Great

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2017

Verified Purchase

Even though I consider myself to be quite well-versed regarding the defilement of the food supply, I still found the first part of this book to be mind-boggling and appalling. The corruption of our food has gone beyond even what I knew, and I think this fact speaks volumes about the future of humanity. But that aspect is beyond the scope of this book. What is within the scope of the book is detailed information about the defilement, mostly involving heavy metals, and the fact that even my organic food choices are not immune to this corruption. Sad and scary.

I was disappointed, however, in the chart section of the book. For a lay-person like myself, who is not already well-versed in chemistry, this section seems quite confusing and difficult to decipher. I think some sort of rating system, using the A+ through F ratings that he mentions in the very beginning of that section, would be much more helpful to the average reader.

Mike is a national treasure for his work

Mike Adams is a national treasure. He has long been an advocate of natural health and healing -- a voice of reason and truth. This book explains the finer points of exactly what the problem is with the products we so cavalierly use -- and the dangers they may pose to our health. He details why certain ingredients are harmful. Then he charts the amounts of these harmful chemicals in actual products. Brilliant. Keep opening eyes, and up the excellent work Mike!

A good resource, and very interesting

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2016

A good resource, and very interesting. I haven't read the entire book yet, just certain sections. But I have glanced through most of it and it looks to be a good resource for information on toxic substances, and the specific foods, vitamins and supplements they are used on and in, and how they adversely affect our bodies. It also exposes supplement manufacturers who lie about the effectiveness and healthfulness of their products. I am impressed that Mike Adams (The Health Ranger) did this research and put together the laboratory necessary for testing off-the-shelf supplements and foods (if "food" is what you want to call much of it). I truly hope this book is a huge best seller, as was Kevin Trudeau's "NATURAL CURES They Don't Want You to Know About," which I also highly recommend reading. If it is a huge best seller, Mike Adams may be able to recoup some of the money he has spent on the state-of-the-art laboratory and equipment in order to write this book. I’m confident it will be as instrumental in helping people with their health challenges as was Trudeau’s “Natural Cures” book. If it weren't for Trudeau's book, I would still be a stupid idiot believing in my government, and that it was doing the job of helping to protect my health from unscrupulous corporate entities. Kevin Trudeau was a life saver for me, because before reading his book, I was beginning to develop debilitating, chronic illness from the foods, liquids and substances I put on and in my body, which included showering in unfiltered water and using soaps made from man-made chemicals. I did only one thing Trudeau suggested in his book, and that was to be aware what I was putting in and on my body. He suggested I stop eating canned, boxed, and prepared foods, including artificial sweeteners and replaced them with organic and whole foods as well as drinking and bathing in purified water. Within a matter of weeks, I was free of pain in my shoulder and hip and was no longer lethargic and too tired to do anything. In fact, I had more energy than I knew what to do with. I remember also that for many years, I had no initiative to learn anything, and I now know that was caused from artificial sweeteners. That was 10-15 years ago and from that time until now, I have suffered NO pain or lethargy, or any other debilitating diseases, like arthritis, fibromyalgia, or the like, that so many people my age, and even younger, suffer from. I learned from Kevin Trudeau that so much of the food and meats sold in the supermarkets are poisoning and debilitating for us. Thanks to the primarily whole foods, organic meats, fruits and vegetables that I consume, I am a healthy, energetic, pain-free and young-looking 65 year-old woman. That seems pretty old, even to me, and I hardly can believe it’s true. I know most people are shocked when I tell them. I believe this book, “Food Forensics,” will go a long way to further our knowledge about what is sickening us and how to prevent it.

An eye-opening expose of the epidemic of toxic food and a guide to biological redemption.

Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is a dense science book (+900 scientific footnotes) that thoroughly validates the concerns of the health-conscious about food toxicity. If you think that alarm over toxins in food (and a lot of other things we consume) is mere scaremongering you may want to read this book as it thoroughly documents this catastrophic problem that we each face personally and collectively as a civilization.

Must have

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 24, 2017

Mike Adams, aka The Health Ranger, has the equipment and the know how to identify the contaminants in your food. Now, how many times have you been told to buy organic whenever you can to avoid pesticides and herbicides? Mike will introduce you to the heavy metals that are in even your organic foods, and in the supplements we buy. He does help you to avoid them too. The book is written by an American and I have not tried yet to establish if all of it applies equally to the EU; I am sure however that the level of dishonesty is equal, and I look forward to the day when enough of us come together to demand that high standards exist and that they are adhered to.

Mike Adams does not pull his punches...no surprise there! This book will shock you. All that remains is whether you end up making drastic changes to your dietary habits or stick your head in the sand.....

It is very easy to read, despite the scientific references. I even checked out his data from time to time. The Health Ranger has offered those who care what they eat (and what is routinely sold in shops), the opportunity to take charge of their own health, and contribute to good in the world.

A must-have for the conscious adult-human....that rare creature is bound to be about somewhere...!
