If you are wondering why the reporter is being so cordial and supportive its because its on Russia Today, who has an interest in stirring up American unrest, and are willing to provide people ample reason to do so day in and day out, and indeed their concerns are justified, however the masters of this house realize that no one is organized who shouldn't be, the majority of the discontented and indignant are falling for the instruction of their plants be they Peter Joseph (who controls the sympathetic will unrealistic promises of utopia) or Alex Jones (controlling the people with guns and fear of dystopia). They know that any resistance outside these control ops will be sloppy and reactionary and thus easily quelled, and simply provide more unjust cause for more nation wide crackdowns (with Canada firmly tethered behind). You have been warned thoroughly. Add Comment FROM Physorg A new analysis of U.S. health data links children's attention-deficit disorder with exposure to common pesticides used on fruits and vegetables. Canadian Voluntary Recall - Children's TYLENOL® Cough & Runny Nose. See Website for more details. - Tylenol.ca While the study couldn't prove that pesticides used in agriculture contribute to childhood learning problems, experts said the research is persuasive. "I would take it quite seriously," said Virginia Rauh of Columbia University, who has studied prenatal exposure to pesticides and wasn't involved in the new study. More research will be needed to confirm the tie, she said. Children may be especially prone to the health risks of pesticides because they're still growing and they may consume more pesticide residue than adults relative to their body weight. In the body, pesticides break down into compounds that can be measured in urine. Almost universally, the study found detectable levels: The compounds turned up in the urine of 94 percent of the children. The kids with higher levels had increased chances of having ADHD, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, a common problem that causes students to have trouble in school. The findings were published Monday in Pediatrics. The children may have eaten food treated with pesticides, breathed it in the air or swallowed it in their drinking water. The study didn't determine how they were exposed. Experts said it's likely children who don't live near farms are exposed through what they eat. "Exposure is practically ubiquitous. We're all exposed," said lead author Maryse Bouchard of the University of Montreal. She said people can limit their exposure by eating organic produce. Frozen blueberries, strawberries and celery had more pesticide residue than other foods in one government report. A 2008 Emory University study found that in children who switched to organically grown fruits and vegetables, urine levels of pesticide compounds dropped to undetectable or close to undetectable levels. Because of known dangers of pesticides in humans, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency limits how much residue can stay on food. But the new study shows it's possible even tiny, allowable amounts of pesticide may affect brain chemistry, Rauh said. The exact causes behind the children's reported ADHD though are unclear. Any number of factors could have caused the symptoms and the link with pesticides could be by chance. The new findings are based on one-time urine samples in 1,139 children and interviews with their parents to determine which children had ADHD. The children, ages 8 to 15, took part in a government health survey in 2000-2004. As reported by their parents, about 150 children in the study either showed the severe inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity characteristic of ADHD, or were taking drugs to treat it. The study dealt with one common type of pesticide called organophosphates. Levels of six pesticide compounds were measured. For the most frequent compound detected, 20 percent of the children with above-average levels had ADHD. In children with no detectable amount in their urine, 10 percent had ADHD. "This is a well conducted study," said Dr. Lynn Goldman of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and a former EPA administrator. Relying on one urine sample for each child, instead of multiple samples over time, wasn't ideal, Goldman said. READ MORE From NZ Herald Scientists have been given permission to put human genes into goats, sheep and cows for the next 20 years, to see if the animals will produce human proteins in their milk. But people will not be pouring the genetically modified milk on their Weetbix just yet - the milk will be discarded. AgResearch won Environmental Risk Management Authority approval to allow a handful of scientists to breed and keep genetically-modified animals at the Ruakura research facility, near Hamilton. The work will begin with genetically modified cows, and could be expanded to genetically modified goats within the next year. Read more They are not going to invest in challenging these companies to make healthy food, they are not even going to fund an eat healthy campaign. They are GOING TO PUT MORE SHIT IN IT SO YOU KEEP EATING IT, AND YOU WILL PAY FOR IT. This is totally analogous to the climate change thing, instead of getting to the root of the problem they are going to mandate some less infringing and profitable policy; and spike the food with more chemicals while their investors laugh their asses off to the bank prancing on the new false sense of confidence they just instilled in fat people across the country. Sure enough they will tax the companies which will drive up food costs some more (even though whatever they put it in probably isnt food anyway). So when you get your neutralized cancer causing food shipped to you from another country using an obsolete vehicle which pays carbon credits to use what remains of obsolete fuel stolen from foreign countries while suppressing science so you can eat shit be sure you are watching the news to stay up to date and disinformed. Fuck this society is dumb, we seriously deserve to lose everything. I mean REAL dumb. Like you dont even understand how dumb. Except you of course ;) Vegetarians (well not me) have been said to have no ethical issues with the new breakthrough of meat grown in a petri dish, simply on the basis that it wasnt taken from a dead animal... Lets get something straight. Life feeds on life. Its not a matter of whether its ethical to eat life, rather its a scientific necessity. I did not choose to become vegetarian because of the gross factor and the romanticization of nature. I became vegetarian (for the most part) because of its SUSTAINABILITY, as well as the MALTREATMENT of animals. An animal given a quick death, that has lived a life of leisure in the barnyard is fair game. Its the EXCESS and the SIDE EFFECTS and the UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES of biotechnology that will destroy the lot of us before they have successfully foolproofed it for the remaining rich infopimps that dictate whether or not you read this. On the flipside, science is not bad. I am pro-science and essentially I am pro technocracy (with some minor alterations). I am not anti-GMO because I believe god will strike me down, rather its because I THINK. I am against the misapplication of science, and scientific hegemony, I am against using the public as lab rats, and am against the unintended consequences of any discovery fastracked for the sake of profit. So to those in the granola flats, and for those that call them sinners, I think you should reconcile your subjectively bound fundamental beliefs and differences so we can get on with the REAL revolution already. For the love of fuck. Lets get our facts straight, cut the bullshit. Please. From The NaturalNews.com Tuesday, November 03, 2009 by: Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor (NaturalNews) The world of bizarre nutritional claims by sugary cereal makers just got a little more weird this week when Kellogg's began shipping boxes of Cocoa Krispies emblazoned with the ridiculous claim, "Now helps support your child's IMMUNITY." If processed white sugar, partially-hydrogenated trans fat oils and synthetic chemical vitamins could enhance human immunity, Kellogg's would be King of the Hill, but in reality, of all the many foods for boosting human immune function, Cocoa Krispies somehow isn't even on the list. In fact, you might say that Kellogg's claim of boosting immunity with a sugary cereal sprayed with synthetic vitamins is one of the most hilarious claims yet floated by a cereal company, but what's definitely not funny is the fact that the FDA openly allows this deceptive, fraudulent food labeling to continue even while threatening, arresting or prosecuting nutritional supplement companies that make similar but true claims.
