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.

"There are two reasons Food Forensics is a scary book. The obvious one comes second: it is unbelievable how widespread toxic, fatal chemicals are. The first reason is that Mike Adams had to purchase his own ICP-MS lab equipment and have it professionally calibrated so that he could see how much of these toxic chemicals and metals are present in food, makeup, cans, bottles and plastic products. His lab is ISO-accredited. He did this because the information is not available anywhere else. He says we might find it bizarre the US government does not do this, and that he is the only reliable source. It is bizarre, period.
In his lab, Adams has been analyzing thousands of products. He determines how much lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic they contain. Far too often, the answer is far too much. Thousands of times the legal maximums. But since no one is required to report those facts on labels, no one bothers to take the measurements. Ignorance is legal bliss. Things are so bad that cognitive deterioration is the new baseline, the new normal just for the living in the Anthropocene Era
-The FDA used to be renowned for banning any chemical in food that might cause cancer. Now it rates how much of each carcinogen to allow in food.
-“USDA Certified Organic†and “All Natural†permit the inclusion of hexane and acetone
-Tests of 400 lipsticks showed lead in every single one
-We are so used to lead poisoning our brains we consider cognitive decline in our older years normal
-Arsenic pesticides in Washington state so saturated the soil that apple juice is loaded with it, 30 years after they stopped using it.
-The majority of mercury pollution in the world comes from dental applications. Even cremating bodies releases mercury back into the biosphere.
-Monsanto requested and received approval for up to 6000 ppm of Glyphosate (Roundup) in potatoes, and neither USDA nor FDA bother to test for it.
-For FDA rules, half a gram of trans fats rounds DOWN to zero (“Contains no trans fats!â€) for labeling purposes.
-People with many chronic conditions showed improvement within two days of ending their intake of aspartame.
-Children have far fewer ADHD issues when artificial food colorings are eliminated.
-Biolsolids –recycled excrement - allows rejected toxins to re-enter plants and animals.
The book is divided into sections, detailing the stories behind metals, and chemical compounds we live in. The last section of the book is actual test results, with large, worrying numbers. Unfortunately, Adams has chosen to hide brand names, so there might be ten examples of test results of the same product, but you have no idea what brands they might be. I would very much like to see his analysis of bottled waters, and am surprised he has no data to present.
It looks more and more that Jack Lalanne was right: If Man made it, don’t take it.

Food Forensics The Hidden Toxins Lurking in Your Food and How You Can Avoid Them for Lifelong Health Mike Adams Books Reviews
- While I think this is a good book for those who would like information on the different toxins, most of the results included do not include any brand names. It will just say "multivitamin" or "chlorella." I bought this book hoping for specific results or grades on different brands. I guess I will just have to rely on Consumer Lab for that. Most of the information in this book was pretty much information already known and talked about on Natural News and Dr Mercola's site. Overall not a terrible book but was definetly hoping for more!
- 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. - Disappointed, Mike didn't list brand names in a lot of the charts, or growers, just listed generic terms, so how are we going to know which items to avoid? We get much better specifics on the natural news website, ( Mike's original website)
- 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!
- 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. - 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.
