Something you should read! Baby Carrots

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? Chlorine is a very well-known carcinogen, which causes Cancer.  I thought this was worth passing on. Pass it on to as many people  As possible in hopes of informing them where these carrots come  From and how they are processed. I used to buy those baby carrots for vegetable dips. I know that  I will never buy them again!!!! Confirmed by Snopes:
