For those worried about their juice

I know all you people worried about this stuff will not be eating Thanksgiving dinner in your house after this was found out.


RODALE NEWS, EMMAUS, PA—A chemical recently dubbed "toxic" by the Canadian government may infiltrate your Thanksgiving dinner—or tonight's dinner, according to a new study published in the journal Environmental Science & Technology. Researchers from the University of Texas found detectable levels of bisphenol-A (BPA)—a chemical used in food packaging that researchers have linked to every ailment from heart disease to sperm damage—in fresh turkey and a variety of other, mostly canned, food products.
Similar research on BPA in food has been conducted by Consumers Union, the publishers of Consumer Reports magazine, and by advocacy groups like the Environmental Working Group. But this is the first academic study published in a peer-reviewed journal to analyze the levels of BPA found in the U.S. food supply, says the study's lead author Arnold Schecter, MD, MPH, professor of environmental and occupational health sciences at the University of Texas School of Public Health. "It struck us as rather odd that some other university or government team hadn't picked up on the idea," he says. Whether that has to do with industry influence or simple lack of funding, the fact remains that his team found BPA in turkey and other Thanksgiving staples like canned green beans and canned corn. Even your pet's food may be BPA-contaminated.

Or is it just ejuice your worried about?

H*LL No! Although I do have some concerns in regards to what is in our juice (and I think we have every right to be) it sickens me knowing we are all being poisoned on a daily basis through our food, drink, air, cloths. Thousands of chemicals in our clothes that we absorb every day. Everything! And this our government protects. Ever wonder why so many children are getting cancer or born with more and more abnormalities? Ever wonder why teens, people in their twenties and thirties are dying of cancer and heart attacks? Just weird a** stuff. If people only knew how much government sanctioned poisoning is going on. Heck, I don't even know but I seem to know more than most and it is mind boggling and should be criminal.

Oh, by the way, make sure you don't grow your own food with your own harvested seeds or buy from a green market as there could be something harmful in that food.

BPA is in receipt paper also - most people don't eat receipts though. Still... keep them away from your kids (if your kids eat paper) and wash your hands.
