Man made toxins in food WWF report
Man made toxins have been detected in foods including such and eggs in analyses funded by WWF, formerly World Wide Fund for Nature. Furthermore these toxins are to be found in blood samples from a large number of people tested, however the concentrations are low, and may well be of not importance for health.
The risks posed by these contaminants are unknown. .Unwarranted speculation on the possible side effects of these is unhelpful until proven in carefully controlled studies.
The toxins found include
Organochorines
Polychlorinated biphenyls
Perfluoronated chemicals
Phthalaltes
Artificial musks
Alkylphenols
Organootins
