Monsanto's GMO Corn Linked To Organ Failure, Study Reveals

Monsanto's GMO Corn Linked To Kidney and Liver Function Failure, Study Reveals. GM maize varieties induce a state of hepatorenal toxicity....

These substances have never before been an integral part of the human or animal diet and therefore their health consequences for those who consume them, especially over long time periods are currently unknown.

"Three varieties of Monsanto's GM corn - Mon 863, insecticide-producing Mon 810, and Roundup® herbicide-absorbing NK 603 - were approved for consumption by US, European and several other national food safety authorities."

Vitamin D deficiency increasingly common

Vitamin D deficiency increasingly common. Cod liver oil is the best source of vitamin D. Wearing sunblock prevents vitamin D production. It might only take a few minutes of sun exposure every day to create enough vitamin D.

Well-known reputation for building and maintaining strong bones, vitamin D could be tied to cancer prevention and cardiovascular health, and some researchers are looking into a connection between vitamin D deficiency and gum disease

emf cellphones cancer risks

Electromagnetic fields - EMF, cellphones emit them, are potentially harmful to humans. Virtually all scientists agree that more research is necessary to determine safe or dangerous levels. http://ewg.org.

It's like one big human experiment which we won't know the results of for several decades. There is increased risk of some brain tumors in long term cell phone users.

What we do know is that iron, which is necessary for healthy blood and is stored in the brain, is highly affected by EMFs. The permeability of the cell membranes of nerves, blood vessels, skin and other organs is also affected, as well as the intricate DNA of the chromosomes. Every bodily biochemical process involves precisely choreographed movement of EMF sensitive atoms, molecules, and ions..

Sunscreens are dangerous to health, promote cancer by blocking sunlight, thus creation of vitamin D. They also contain untested toxic carcinogens. The sunscreen industry makes money by selling lotion products that actually contain cancer-causing chemicals. It then donates a portion of that money to the cancer industry through non-profit groups like the American and Canadian Cancer Societies which, in turn, run heart-breaking public service ads urging people to use sunscreen to "prevent cancer."

The scientific evidence, however, shows quite clearly that sunscreen actually promotes cancer by blocking the body's absorption of ultraviolet radiation, which produces vitamin D in the skin. Vitamin D, as recent studies have shown, prevents up to 77 of ALL cancers in women (breast cancer, colon cancer, cervical cancer, lung cancer, brain tumors, multiple myeloma, etc). Meanwhile, the toxic chemical ingredients used in most sunscreen products are actually carcinogenic and have never been safety tested. They get absorbed right through the skin (a porous organ that absorbs most substances it comes into contact with) and enter the bloodstream.

The Body Toxic - everyday things toxic hazards

Everyday toxics: soft-plastic toys: A new law banned six types of phthalates, linked to breast cancer, decreased sperm counts and birth defects, in soft plastic toys in 2008. Many phthalate-containing toys are still in kids' toy boxes...Canned food, including baby formula: Resin linings in most food and drink cans contain bisphenol A, an estrogen-
mimicking chemical linked to hormone disruption, reproduction and fertility problems, birth defects and prostate cancer.
Upholstered furniture: Brominated flame retardants used in foam cushions are associated with an array of negative effects, including permanent learning and
memory impairment. A pilot study showed a link between PBDEs and hyperthyroidism in house cats.

Phthalates in plastic; bisphenol A in food and beverage containers; flame retardants in furniture and perfluorinated chemicals in food wrappers.

Should we be concerned about the effects of these exposures on our health?

Powerful argument for urgent reforms to our nation’s notoriously toothless toxics laws, and a clarion for greener, cleaner chemicals in consumer products
