The Washington Standard By Tim Brown
We have covered so many things about our food supply and the fact of the matter is that the more you can grow of your own food, the better. We’ve talked about aborted babies being used at flavoring and as many of you know, we’ve revealed several things about processed foods on The Sons of Liberty radio show’s Saturday morning show with nurse and nutritionist Kate Shemirani. Now, Consumer Reports has done its own testing and discovered that there are concerning levels of bisphenols and phthalates, which are plasticizer chemicals.
Lance Johnson has the story.
The chronic disease epidemic in America can be traced back to specific contaminants in the food supply. These contaminants negatively impact hormone signaling, cellular energy production, sexual development, neurodevelopment, and genetic expression. Some of the most damaging contaminants in the food and water supply include various types of plasticizer chemicals. These chemicals, namely phthalates and bisphenols, are used to strengthen the durability of plastics, but they also pose a silent danger to human health.
A report from the nonprofit group Consumer Reports found these plasticizer chemicals in 84 out of 85 tested food items. These plasticizer chemicals are linked to Type-2 diabetes, infertility, immunosuppression, cancer, and cardiovascular disorders, among many other chronic illnesses and conditions.
Plasticizer chemicals are silently driving the chronic disease epidemic
Consumer Reports tested 85 common food items from 11 categories that included beverages, condiments, grains, dairy, meats, canned beans, packaged fruits and vegetables, seafood, fast food, prepared meals, and infant food. Of the samples tested, 79 percent contained concerning levels of bisphenols and 98 percent of the samples contained phthalates.
Both phthalates and bisphenols are endocrine disruptors. Once inside the bloodstream, these chemicals interfere with healthy hormone production, signaling, and regulation. In males, phthalates directly harm sperm motility and concentration. In females, the chemicals cause early puberty, ovarian dysfunction, and cancers of the reproductive system. In children, bisphenol A (BPA) damages the brain and prostate glands, while altering human behavior. In one study, the kids whose bodies could not detoxify BPA were more likely to suffer from autism and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder…
