#20: Eggs

Though American supermarkets promote local farms, many still import goods like chicken eggs from China. These eggs may look fresh, but are often treated with paraffin wax or calcium carbonate.

These substances help preserve the eggs but can pose health risks when eaten regularly. Some treatments have been linked to potential poisoning and long-term health issues. Always check the country of origin printed on the egg carton to stay safe.
