I think she is giving us a short list, many processed foods do contain parabens. 
Eat real food instead?  |

| One of the many reasons that I prefer whole foods, instead of processed foods. |

There should be legislation about what can be labelled/ described as 'food'. I'm only half joking.  |

I thought this may also be of interest:
Parabens occur naturally at low levels in certain foods, such as barley, strawberries, currents, vanilla, carrots, and onions, although a synthetic preparation derived from petrochemicals is used in cosmetics. Parabens in foods are metabolized when eaten, making them less strongly estrogenic. vii In contrast, when applied to the skin and absorbed into the body, parabens in cosmetics bypass the metabolic process and enter the blood stream and body organs intact. It has been estimated that women are exposed to 50 mg per day of parabens from cosmetics. viii More research is needed concerning the resulting levels of parabens in people. Studies conducted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) did find four different parabens in human urine samples, indicating exposure despite the very low levels in products. ix,x

Which is why we need to be mindful of what we put into our skin because its absorbed directly into our blood.
I thought it was common knowledge that they pumped processed foods full of god knows what 
But maybe its different all over the world. |

| Yes good to be extra vigilant about food and cosmetics! If you can best to eat organic and use organic cosmetics. |
