Alarming levels of lead and cadmium found in Trader Joe’s, Hershey’s, and other chocolates

March 29, 2017 -

The 2016 report by As You Sow examined 50 different popular chocolates and found that many of them contain amounts of lead and cadmium that exceed the amounts that the state of California deems safe. Some chocolate brands contained as much as nine times the level of lead the Golden State considers to be safe to reproductive health. Others contained amounts of cadmium that were equivalent to seven times the maximum daily exposure limit.

Multiple samples from the 50 different ...

Fukushima has poisoned the North American food supply along the Pacific coast

August 19, 2016 -

While a vast array of radioactive isotopes were released into the environment during the Fukushima meltdown, iodine-129 is a particularly concerning material, due to its incredibly long half-life. This means that basically any food that comes from the North American western coast will likely be contaminated with radiation for innumerable generations to come. Radiation in the oceans will inevitably enter our water supply, and consequently our food supply as well. According to ...

You’re being poisoned with ALUMINUM… but silicon-rich foods and enhanced water can help your body eliminate it quickly

March 04, 2019 -

Every day, we are all exposed to aluminum through the food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink and even from the ground beneath our feet. According to the CDC's Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), the average adult in the United States eats about 7 to 9 milligrams of aluminum every day in their food alone. The ATSDR also notes that both adults and children can be exposed to aluminum via vaccination. Aluminum is omnipresent in ...

See which states have the highest vinyl chloride contamination exposure

February 22, 2023 -

Deliberate release of vinyl chloride is an act of ecological terrorism

Vinyl chloride is a volatile gas used to make polyvinyl chloride hard plastic resin, (PVC pipes) and other co-polymers. As a liquid, it is stored and transported under pressure. When burned, it can send more toxic chemicals into the air, like gas phosgene, hydrogen chloride, and dioxins.

After the deliberate release of vinyl chloride from the tanker cars, authorities estimate that Norfolk Southern ...

November 16, 2022 -

Patrick Breysse, director of the CDC's Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), announced this move through a letter to Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA). He told the congresswoman that the public health agency plans to reevaluate health risks related to drinking water at the former Army base.

"There is sufficient data and scientific reasons for ATSDR to reevaluate health risks related to historical drinking water exposures at Ford Ord," Breysse ...

Protect your brain from toxic metals with silicon-enhanced water, especially after vaccination

September 06, 2017 -

Professor Exley and his team have been investigating how effective silicon-fortified water is at removing aluminum from the body for the last decade, and their results have been nothing short of promising. There are many reasons why one should be concerned about aluminum; the toxic metal is found in many aspects of our environment including food, beverages and vaccines.

As Exley explains, because aluminum is so widespread in our environment, the potential for the metal ...

Is your mouth poisoning your body? Studies show that people with toxic levels of mercury usually get it from their fillings

January 10, 2019 -

The findings of the studies revealed that the reason behind the instability of mercury amalgams is mercury's low vapor pressure and galvanic action, which leaks mercury vapor continuously into the lungs and saliva at levels surpassing health standards.

People with dental amalgam fillings were found to be exposed to levels of mercury that surpassed government health standards, which can result to negative health effects. According to Health Canada, which is Canada's health ...
