Monsanto's GMO sweet corn KILLS


Just a comment for thought.  Monarch butterflies and other "insects" that are part of our ecosystem are being destroyed.  Bees and butterflies have a place in this world, but are being wiped out due to these chemicals.

I recently took my 5 year old daughter to the doctor with stomach pains.  So bad that I was crying for her.  She went through every type of testing out there for months.  My poor thing went through so much just to come up with nothing conclusive.

Six months ago we switched everything to organic, and now boycott all foods with Monsanto products.  Go figure, we have not had ONE single issue with her stomach...until we went away for a few weeks and she had to eat all non-organic.  The poor thing was so horribly sick again, and of course with no answers.  This past 2 weeks we have been back to all organic, and no more belly aches or stomach problems.  If that is not enough to convince me, I don't know what is.

Boycott foods that use Monsanto Products!!!


It may seem difficult at first, but if you value your health and the health of your children, it is definitely worth the little research to find foods that will not harm.
Autism, Cancer, and Death is on the rise, yet no one wants to take blame.  When ingesting foods with antibiotics or other chemicals that is exactly what they are doing.
Protect yourself, since the government and most definitely Monsanto is not!!!

Chemicals in Plastics


Plastic is everywhere—it's used in consumer products and packaging of all kinds. And while it solves a lot of problems for manufacturers and can seem convenient to consumers, there are also serious risks to human health and the environment from its widespread use.
Three plastics have been shown to leach toxic chemicals when heated, worn or put under pressure: polycarbonate, which leaches bisphenol A; polystyrene, which leaches styrene; and PVC, or polyvinyl chloride, which leaches phthalates.
And for more specific information about these and other chemicals found in plastics, including what they do and why they're bad for you, look below.

Bisphenol A (BPA)

Even though plastic is everywhere, there's a lot you can do to reduce your use of the most toxic plastics.
Tips for protecting your family from plastics >
Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the most pervasive chemicals in modern life. It's a building block of polycarbonate (often #7) plastic and is used in thousands of consumer products, including food packaging. Research shows that BPA exposure is linked to breast cancer.

Phthalates

Phthalates are a group of endocrine-disrupting chemicals found in PVC or #3 plastic. Phthalate exposure has been linked to early puberty in girls, a risk factor for later-life breast cancer. Some phthalates also act as weak estrogens in cell culture systems.

Vinyl Chloride

Vinyl chloride is formed in the manufacture of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or #3 plastic. It was one of the first chemicals designated as a known human carcinogen by the National Toxicology Program (NTP) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). It has also been linked to increased mortality from breast cancer among workers involved in its manufacture.

Dioxin

Dioxin is formed in the manufacture of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or #3 plastic. Dioxin has been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a known human carcinogen, and is also an endocrine disruptor.

Styrene

Styrene can leach from polystyrene or #6 plastic and is found in Styrofoam food trays, egg cartons, disposable cups and bowls, carryout containers and opaque plastic cutlery. It has been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as a possible human carcinogen.
