Food Chain Dangers Overview
GMO – Genetically Modified Organisms:
These are new to the universe and research has shown GMO foods to be NOT THE SAME in nutrient levels and many other aspects. Many of the differences are not known yet.
A leading researcher in GMO foods, when asked about whether he would personally eat GMO Potatoes. He answered in the negative noting that is “very, very unfair to use our fellow citizens as guinea pigs.”” “Trust Us We’re Experts”
Hormones - rBGH, etc:
“Bovine growth hormone was never adequately tested before FDA allowed it on the Market.” “Trust Us We’re Experts”
Dr. Samuel Epstien contends that milk from “supplemented cow’s cause’s breast and colon cancer”
“The risks of cancer to consumers and particularly to their children, especially those enrolled in the Public School Lunch Program, are undisputable.”
Pesticides
“The levels of exposure from food are rarely high enough to cause symptoms but they can affect the developing child, especially if exposed while in the womb or in infancy or early childhood.“
“Agricultural chemicals are also found in animal products such as meat and dairy. Most of those chemicals are stored in the fat of the animal, so reducing the amount of animal fat in the diet will reduce your exposure to toxic chemicals and also reduce the other risks associated with excessive cholesterol and fat intake.”
Robert J. Geller, M.D., F.A.A.P. Associate Professor of Pediatrics Emory University School of Medicine
Antibiotics:
Used to keep down disease in CAFOs – (Concentrated Agricultural Feeding Operations) Due to the un-natural concentration of animals in very close quarters.
“The use of antibiotics in animal agriculture affects food borne illness in ways that are especially troubling.”
“Those (bacteria) naturally resistant to the antibiotics survive and multiply”
“The unintended consequence of this practice is the proliferation of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. If antibiotic-resistant bacteria infect people and cause disease, the disease will be untreatable.” SAFE Food – Nestle’
Cloning: - Coming to a deli near you
“The safety of food from cloned animals is largely unknown, as there have been few studies and no long-term evidence of safe livestock production.”
“There are to date no published comparative analytical data assessing the composition of meat and milk products of somatic cell clones, their offspring, and conventionally bred individuals.”
“64% of cattle, 40% of sheep, and 93% of mice exhibit some form of abnormality.”
Irradiated Foods:
Irradiation is performed to kill bacteria, however, “Bombarding contaminated foods with gamma rays will not improve public health however because it does not remove the feces of cattle and poultry. The treatment is the only measure which government and industry can adopt which will NOT require the food supply to be cleaned up.”
“After All, sterilized poop is still poop”

Chemical Foods, Additives, Biotech Foods:
If you have been paying attention, you now realize that the FDA / USDA is not policing the industry as it should. A vast array of new chemicals are coming to the food you eat and you will not even know about them, nor will they have been tested for safety. They are new and untested. As many as 2000 chemicals are created and introduced every year.
“In most instances exposure to cancer-causing agents (carcinogens) _ takes place twenty to thirty years before a statistically significant increase in cancer can be detected. Only then can it be adduced that the increase in cancer may have been caused by exposure to specific cancer-causing agents”
