Nothing is worth trusting unless you witness every ingredient from it's beginning as a seed with your own eyes.
Just like Shifu thinks - the cows might be OK, but what are they fed on? And what is the source of each ingredient on which they're fed? Can you trace that?
Drink milk, but what are they feeding or treating the cows with?
Eat nuts, fruit and veg, but what are the trees fertilised with? What pesticides were used, and what is the source for each of it's components?
Drink water, but what are they injecting into the treatment plants? Boiling doesn't completely remove all the chemicals, and if you think distilling is the key know that distilled water will heavily leach minerals from your body.
So drink filtered water, but where did the filter materials come from?
Eat organic meat, but again, what are they fed on, and are the ingredients of the ingredients of the ingredients?! What do they drink? Tap water? f*&^ing fluoride again!!
Even the most meticulous keeper of 'organic' animals, plants or trees can be cheated by 'accidental' leakages of chemicals neighbouring land or air-space.
I say unless you're self-sufficient you cannot escape damaging chemicals entering your system.
Accept that you will ingest unwelcome chemicals, or enjoy your manic paranoia...
