Okay, guys, I'm back with another video. This one is actually short. This is a follow-up to a video I did about 9 or 10 months ago on APAL, which is a toxic food coating that they treat fruits and vegetables with. It's being released internationally, and I said that there's no sticker warning you of this on their fruits and vegetables. It cannot be washed off; it's tasteless, it doesn't have a smell, and you cannot wash it off. They treat both organic and conventionally treated fruits and vegetables. They started off using cucumbers, lemons, limes, and oranges in different countries. If you want to know more about this, I give a really good explanation about it, and I'll put the link up here somewhere above so you can learn more about it.
What I wanted to do this follow-up video for was because I got asked over and over how do I know that my fruits and vegetables are being treated. Well, initially, I put a link in the description below to their website showing the locations of where they are having these fruits and vegetables, and I got feedback that they actually took the page down. So, to me, if it's something that is plant-based and they make it sound good, it's also backed partially by Bill Gates, so there's some suspicion right there.
So, how do you know that your fruits and vegetables are being treated, especially now that page is no longer there? A few months after I put up that video, I needed lemons, and I sent my husband to go get some lemons at the grocery store. What he brought back, first of all, were not organic; they were conventional in a bag. You know, kind of like this, but it wasn't this one; it was a different one. The first thing I noticed was that these lemons looked perfect. They all had smooth textures and were glossy. There was a tag on the bag that said the fruit was treated with different resins, plant-based resins. So, it didn't say that it was APAL, and because of that, I didn't end up using it, and I returned it.
Now, these I bought from Trader Joe's. This says that they are organic, but remember, APAL treats both organic and conventionally grown fruits and vegetables. Now, I'm going to show you these; they are a few weeks old and were in the refrigerator. One of the things you'll notice if you go to the APAL website is they have pictures of their fruits and vegetables that are treated with APAL. They have this gloss, and it's like near perfect, and it has this smooth texture on it. Well, this lemon is not treated with it because, if you notice, it's not glossy; it has a natural sheen to it because of the oils. Right? But I don't know if you can tell, but look at the texture—it's very bumpy. It's not smooth; it doesn't have this primer feeling to it, so that's one of the ways that you can tell.
Another thing is, yeah, here's—you could, you know, it's obvious that it's not treated with anything, right? Because the skin is highly imperfect, and there are definitely indentations and textures to it. One of the things that you need to expect is when you buy truly organic, it's going to spoil really fast. So, if it's not in the refrigerator, it will actually start to grow mold in a few days, especially if you're in a humid area. Now, this one here is highly imperfect; see if you look at that. But when you open the lemon, it's perfectly fine. So, that's one of the ways that you can tell that it’s not treated.
Also, if you buy bagged fruits and vegetables and they have a little label on it, read the fine print because it will say that it's treated with resins or wax, and it'll make it sound good. It doesn't mean that it's APAL, but how do you really know? So, that's one of the ways, and I hope that helps. Remember, makeup is an art, skincare is a science, and I'll see you in the next video. Bye!
