Fooling Da Americans

[Cartomeister]

I dont like the FDA for one reason. They are a syndicate that operates a Monopoly in this country. Monopolies are illegal here, yet they can have one. They are allowed to keep 25% of the ingredients off the package of food.

I called a milk company and asked if there was soy in the milk. They said that there is soy in the cows feed. I asked why, they said for protein. I said there are better things than soy that can be used for that and I asked why use the worst one of them all. The operator stated she only answers the phones.s

I dont know if you know what soy does to us, have you ever seen an old Chinese woman with a huge lump on her neck. Thats called a goiter. Caused by years of consumption of soy. The FDA knows this. I know what the soy additive is for. Its a filler and they use it because its cheep. Look on all your food ingredients and you will see soy something. Its in everything now. This is what the FDA does. They allow the unhealthy stuff.

FDA - Fooling Da Americans, please spread this around. I dont care if you say you made up the acronym. Just get that out there for me.

I'm pretty sure goiters are caused by an iodine deficiency. That's why we now have iodized salt.

LOL

I have to admit that this is the first time I've laughed in a very long while about anything involving the FDA. Thanks for the break.

Granted right now the FDA is kinda on my crapola list. But claiming soy causes goiters is .. well suspect as so does much of what the world eats. All of the below are in the same types of foods as Soybean and thus if you are worried about soy... gotta be worried about all these too.


* cassava
* Soybeans (and soybean products such as tofu, soybean oil, soy flour, soy lecithin)
* Pine nuts
* Peanuts
* Millet
* Strawberries
* Pears
* Peaches
* Spinach
* Bamboo shoots
* Sweet Potatoes
* Vegetables in the genus Brassica [5]
o Bok choy
o Broccoli
o Broccolini (Asparations)
o Brussels sprouts
o Cabbage
o Canola
o Cauliflower
o Chinese cabbage
o Choy sum
o Collard greens
o Horseradish
o Kai-lan (Chinese broccoli)
o Kale
o Kohlrabi
o Mizuna
o Mustard greens
o Radishes
o Rapeseed (yu choy)
o Rapini
o Rutabagas
o Tatsoi
o Turnips

Well, at least I am safe, that is a WHOLE list of things that I do not eat... Guess I am safe either way. I don't consume ANY dairy either.

 

[Superstargoddess]

There is a lot of things that the government does that is horrible like that.

Most recently I have been ...... off that it is allowed for drug companies to charge so much for medications. Something that I was supposed to get was $430 a month since I don't have insurance. But the government won't do anything about high prices on medications since there will always be people out there rich enough to pay for it and that's more tax money for the government. =/

I read an article the other day on naturalnews.com that a cereal company had dozens of complaints from people saying that a chemical smell was coming out of their cereal boxes which included Froot Loops, Honey Smacks, Apple Jacks and Corn Pops. So the FDA got involved. They asked the cereal company what happened, and the cereal co. said that the smell was from a petrochemical called 2-methylnaphthalene. That chemical is in the waxed paper liner containing the cereal. They think it ran into the cereal when the sealer heated up. The FDA said, okay. Cased was closed. No fine, nothing.

The problem is, no one knows how dangerous the chemical is to be wrapped around our food. Nobody cares, nobody is investigating the safety of it.

And yet they want to ban the e-cig? Nah, I'm not a fan of the FDA either.

BTW, asians do not eat the soy products that Americans do. They mostly eat edamame, miso and nato, tempeh and soy -- but not the GMO (genetically modified) soy the Americans do. Americans eat it by the boatload. It is also one of the main ingredients in food of the inmates of American penitentiaries.

methylnaphthalene:
Froot Loops contaminated with 2-methylnaphthalene chemical (opinion)

I've said it for years - it's still true. The government treats us like mushrooms; they keep us in the dark and feed us sheet. Soy may not be bad, but then they say alcohol is fine and half a dozen less harmful things are illegal - go figure they want us drunk, but outlaw things less harmful.

 

[Silkies70]

The FDA better worry about getting those ROTTEN eggs off the market instead of messing with us vapers!!!

 

[CaptJay]

I showed my friend this thread and he said after he read through it (and theres another one i showed him on the health section about things that get banned like herbal remedies used in Europe for many years like st john's wort) he thinks the F in FDA stands for a word usually synonymous to procreation

In the US only the government can have a monopoly.... just remember this the next time you think "well I don't do that so I don't care what the Gov does", eventually you will be the minority....

OMG, my wife (from the Philippines) made her delicious cassava cake last night, and I ate a bunch. I hope I haven't been poisoned
