How toxins are entering our food and harming our health every single day.
A national health emergency we don’t see
The Hidden Toxic Crisis in Our Food
India’s food system, once rooted in natural harmony, is now tainted with chemicals, heavy metals, antibiotics, and invisible poisons. From the grains and vegetables we eat to the milk we drink daily, these toxins enter our bodies silently and consistently – creating a burden that leads to diseases, developmental disorders, and chronic health crises we cannot see until it is too late.

How Do These Toxins Enter Our Food?
Milk – a symbol of purity tainted
Milk is No Longer Pure
The milk we consider a staple of health is often a primary carrier for some of the most dangerous toxins. Here's how:
Contaminated Feed
Cows consume feed and fodder grown with polluted water and laden with pesticides and mycotoxins (aflatoxins) from mouldy grain. These toxins pass directly into their milk.
Hormones & Antibiotics
Hormonal injections like oxytocin are used to forcibly increase milk yield, and antibiotics are overused without proper withdrawal periods, leaving residues in the final product.
The Alarming Numbers
In India, 26% of milk samples contain antibiotic residues (ICMR) and up to 6% exceed safe limits for Aflatoxin M1 (FSSAI), a potent liver carcinogen.
The health consequences we can’t ignore
Why This Matters To You
This isn't a distant risk; it's a daily assault on our health. With every contaminated bite, these toxins accumulate in our bodies, affecting children’s growth, triggering long-term diseases like cancer and kidney failure, and silently draining our family's health and finances.
