more carefully.

> BABY CARROTS: The following is information from a farmer who grows and

packages carrots for IGA, METRO, LOBLAWS, etc. The small cocktail (baby) carrots

you buy in small plastic bags are made using the larger crooked or deformed

carrots which are put through a machine which cuts and shapes them into cocktail

carrots . Most people probably know this already. What you may not know and

should know is the following: once the carrots are cut and shaped into cocktail

carrots they are dipped in a solution of water and chlorine in order to preserve

them (this is the same chlorine used in your pool). Since they do not have their

skin or natural protective covering, they give them a higher dose of chlorine.

You will notice that once you keep these carrots in your refrigerator for ;a few

days, a white covering will form on the carrots, this is the chlorine which

resurfaces. At what cost do we put our health at risk to have esthetically

pleasing vegetables which

are practically plastic? We do hope that this information can be passed on to

as many people as possible in the hopes of informing them where these carrots

come from and how they are processed. Chlorine is a very well known carcinogen.

Please let us make this information available to as many people as possible. If

you care about your family and friends, pass it on.

Mostly not true but the carrots might be treated with chlorine which

is considered an acceptable practice for veggies. You can read the

whole thing at SNOPES.
