While the tomato is a terrific source of the essential nutrient lycopene, its canned relative should be avoided.

"They've been shown to have a high concentration of everything." Avoid pernicious toxins by buying organic potatoes. iamrennyPeople who use regular table salt miss out on a number of important minerals found in crystal and sea salt. "Table salt is a refined product, so there aren't any nutrients in it," says Koch. "Our bodies need a lot of those trace minerals." Opt for high-quality salt next time you shop for groceries.
