Tobacco is a mood-altering, addictive drug
that kills 500,000 Americans a year (200 million worldwide)
Costs $400 billion each year, according to "Smoking and Health
Review," (1992).
The American Lung Association says tobacco contains more than 4,000
chemicals, 60 of which causes cancer.
Some of the 'killers' are radioactivity, arsenic, ammonia, lead,
formaldehyde, nitrogen dioxide, cadmium, phenol, benzene and hydrogen
cyanide (the 'gas chamber' gas that poisons the respiratory enzymes)

Something To Think About
============================
Study: American Pesticide Levels Are High
By TERENCE CHEA
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Many U.S. residents carry unhealthy levels of
pesticides in their bodies, with children, women and Mexican Americans
disproportionately exposed to the toxic chemicals, according to a study
to be released Tuesday.
The Pesticide Action Network analyzed data collected by the U.S. Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention in a study of more than 2,648 people
tested for levels of 34 pesticides, the environmental group said.
The PAN study - called "Chemical Trespass: Pesticides in Our Bodies and
Corporate Accountability" - found that a large percentage of people who
had their blood and urine tested carried pesticides above levels
considered safe by government health and environmental agencies.
"The pesticide body burden data represents a failure of our approach to
how we protect people from toxic pesticides," said Kristin Schafer, the
study's lead author and PAN's program coordinator. "We really hope that
it will help us move toward a different system of how we control pests
in agriculture and all other areas."
San Francisco-based PAN, which advocates for alternatives to pesticide
use for pest control, found that the average person in the study carried
13 of the 23 pesticides they evaluated. Many of the pesticides have been
linked to infertility, birth defects, cancer and other serious health
ailments, said Margaret Reeves, a senior scientist at PAN.
"A growing body of research suggests that even at very low levels, the
combination of these chemicals can be harmful to our health," Reeves
said.
The PAN study found that children between 6 and 11 years old were
exposed to the nerve-damaging pesticide chlorpyrifos at four times the
level deemed acceptable by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Chlorpyrifos is designed to kill insects by disrupting the nervous
system.
"It does appear to have some validity," said Francis B. Suhre, of the
EPA. "The crux of the matter is what does it all mean and is it
reflecting past effects as opposed to current. At first blush, it
requires further screening."
The study said one company - Dow Chemical Corp. - was responsible for 80
percent of the chlorpyrifos in Americans' bodies. The figure was derived
from the amount of the chemical in the bodies of the people tested and a
"conservative estimate of Dow's market share," said Skip Spitzer, a
program coordinator for PAN and one of the study's authors.
Dow spokesman Garry Hamlin confirmed the company is the largest
manufacturer of the pesticide in the country, but said the pesticide
leaves the body quickly without doing harm. He said the CDC has noted
that the measurement of an environmental chemical in a person's blood or
urine does not mean that the chemical causes disease.
"Chlorpyrifos is widely used, and studies by the Centers for Disease
Control suggest that people are exposed to chlorpyrifos at very tiny
levels. ... When people are exposed, the product breaks down readily and
is eliminated from the body in a matter of days," he said.
The report said that women carry "significantly" higher levels of three
pesticides called organochlorines known to reduce birth weight and
disrupt brain development in infants.
PAN's analysis also found that Mexican Americans carried higher levels
of chemicals linked to the insecticides lindane, DDT and methyl parthion
than other ethnic groups.
The PAN study didn't reveal why certain groups were more exposed to
certain chemicals because the CDC data didn't include information about
where the test subjects lived or what kinds of jobs they held. People
are thought to ingest pesticides through air, water and food.
CDC spokeswoman Stephanie Creel said the center would not comment on the
findings because it did not participate in the analysis.
PAN researchers believe pesticide makers should be held responsible for
the "pesticide body burden" and its financial and health impacts.
"There's a case to be made that the primary responsibility for these
pesticides in our bodies lies with the folks that manufacture and market
them," Schafer said.
The study recommends that Congress investigate corporate responsibility
for pesticide contamination, an EPA ban on using hazardous pesticides,
and requiring manufacturers to demonstrate that a pesticide doesn't harm
human health before using it.

Clinical Guidelines Taken from the Annals Of Internal
Medicine reads;
Lipid Control in the Management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Clinical
Practice Guideline from the American College of Physicians
Recommendation 1: Lipid-lowering therapy should be used for secondary
prevention of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity for all patients
(both men and women) with known coronary artery disease and type 2
diabetes.
Recommendation 2: Statins should be used for primary prevention against
macrovascular complications in patients (both men and women) with type 2
diabetes and other cardiovascular risk factors.
Recommendation 3: Once lipid-lowering therapy is initiated, patients
with type 2 diabetes mellitus should be taking at least moderate doses
of a statin.
Recommendation 4: For those patients with type 2 diabetes who are taking
statins, routine monitoring of liver function tests or muscle enzymes is
not recommended except in specific circumstances.
LENA'S NOTE:Recommendation #4 will kill a large number of
those taking statin drugs: This is insanity in the medical profession!
Of course the money hungry drug companies have come up with these
recommendations and the medical profession believes them to be the Gods
of medicine and follow instructions and recommendation! There is a very
small number of physicians who will not buy into these recommendations
so your doctor will like not be one of the smarter one... The
pharmaceutical industry came up with their cholesterol lowering
medications then came up with the new rules that new cholesterol
guidelines were issued about three years ago, which qualified 36 million
people to be on statin drugs. But they were not satisfied with that
number, now they want to put the more than 17 million U.S. diabetics on
the drugs. How far behind can it be that once they get this approved
they will clearly push the recommendations to the pre-diabetics, which
is something over 16 million. Do you hear the cash registers ringing for
them?
So they will be pushing over 65 million people to take their expensive
solution. They are making $10 billion on one drug when only 15 million
"qualify" to be on this drug, now they will have 65 million
"qualifying."
Since satin drugs remove minerals and nutrients from the body it sets
everyone taking the drugs up for a myriad of diseases!!! Read any study
written in the last five years and you will find the insufficiency of a
mineral or minerals as the key to that disease or illness! What are they
thinking? Such insanity and the medical profession gone wild!!!!

FOOD OF THE
WEEK
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
Bananas to Health And Healing!
Bananas help prevent a number of illnesses and health conditions.
Containing three natural sugars, sucrose, fructose and glucose, and when
combined with fiber, bananas produce an instant, sustained, and
substantial boost of energy. Research has shown that just two bananas
provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout.
Bananas are Minerals rich in Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus,
Potassium, Sodium, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, Selenium, along with
Vitamins which Include Vitamin C, Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin,
Pantothenic acid,Vitamin B-6, Folate, Folic acid, Vitamin B-12, Vitamin
A, Retinol, Vitamin A, Vitamin E and Tocopherol.
Bananas could be called the food to healing and health!
Over the years as the doctors I worked with put patients on blood
pressure medications, which remove a multitude of minerals, but the
medical profession only recognize potassium as the mineral necessary to
health. We know that isn't the case, but the doctors then and now had
the good sense to recommend a patient eat one or two bananas a day to
keep the potassium level safe!
According to a recent survey of people suffering from
depression found that many felt much better after eating a banana. This
is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein the body
converts into serotonin, which makes you alert, improves your mood, and
generally make you feel happier. So eat and expect less depression!
PMS may be averted by eating bananas. The vitamin B6 in bananas
regulates blood glucose levels, which is responsible for some of PMS
symptoms and eating does affect your mood (among other things).
Anemia medication: Bananas are high in iron, which stimulates the
production of hemoglobin in the blood, which helps anemia.
Blood Pressure leveler: This unique tropical fruit is extremely
high in potassium yet low in salt making it the perfect food to lower
blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has
permitted the banana industry to officially claim the fruit's ability to
'reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.'
Brain Power increased: 200 students at a Middlesex, UK school
were helped through exams by eating bananas at breakfast, at break, and
during lunch to boost their brainpower. Research has shown that the
potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
Constipation prevention: High in fiber, bananas in the diet can
restore normal bowel movement without laxatives.
Hangover cure: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is
to make a banana milkshake sweetened with honey. The banana calms the
stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds depleted blood sugar
levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates the system.
Stomach calmer: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the
body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing
relief.
Morning Sickness treatment: Snacking on bananas between meals
helps keep blood sugar levels up so to avoid morning sickness. Morning
sickness is caused from a lack of B vitamins more often than blood sugar
fluctuations and since bananas have the B's eat one?
Mosquito bite treatment: Before reaching for the insect bite
cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin.
Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and
irritation.
Nerves calmed: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the
nervous system.
Overweight and work too much? Studies at the Institute of
Psychology in Austria found work pressure leads to gorging on comfort
food like chocolate and chips. Out of 5,000 hospital patients,
researchers found the most obese were in high-pressure jobs. The report
concluded that to avoid panic-induced food cravings and control blood
sugar levels, snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours kept
levels steady
Ulcers calm down: Bananas can prevent intestinal disorders
because of the soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit
that can be eaten without distress in sensitive health situations. It
also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the
lining of the stomach.
Temperature control: Many cultures see bananas as a "cooling"
fruit that lowers both the physical and emotional temperature of
expectant mothers. In Thailand, for example, pregnant women eat bananas
to ensure their babies are born with a cool temperature.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas help SAD sufferers
because they contain the natural mood enhancers, tryptophan and Vitamin
B's.
Calm smoking withdrawals: Bananas can also help people trying to
stop smoking. B6 and B12 in bananas, as well as potassium and magnesium,
help the body recover from the withdrawal effects.
Stress leveler: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps
normalize the body's heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain, and regulates
the body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate
raises reducing potassium levels. These levels can be rebalanced by
eating a high-potassium banana.
Cut Stroke Risk: According to research in The New England Journal
of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk
of death by strokes as much as 40%!
Warts: It is said if you want to destroy a wart, take a piece of
banana skin and place it on the wart (with the yellow side out). Tape
the skin in place with a Band-Aid or surgical tape.
Grow Beautiful Rose Bushes with Bananas: Blend the soft part of
the banana skin in a blender full of water and pour on the base of your
rose bushes to promote healthy roots and new growth.
Eating fresh fruits and vegetables results in a basic detoxification
diet. So, eat as many raw and pure, unprocessed and uncooked foods as
you can each day and make bananas one of those raw fruits.
BANANA SMOOTHIE
3 ripe frozen bananas
4-5 T peanut butter (all natural creamy or chunky)
1 T ground flaxseed
2 T honey
1 c. skim or 1% milk ( Use soy milk)
Place all ingredients in a blender and puree well and serve.
NOTE: I add strawberries, pineapple chunks,
frozen fresh peaches and frozen grapes to this as an added fiber and

One expert agrees with me and a host of other alternative
practitioners about sunlight being necessary and important, but
it cost him a position in the dermatology dept.!
Vitamin D Expert Fired for Recommending Sunshine
Dr. Michael F. Holick, a professor at Boston University's
medical school and a well-known researcher on the topic of
sunlight and vitamin D, was asked to resign from his position in
the dermatology department after the chairwoman of the
department criticized his conclusions.
Holick, author of the new book "The UV Advantage," has spoken
out about the importance of sun exposure to boosting vitamin D
levels and health. He says there are substantial benefits of
sunlight, including promoting strong bones and easing
depression, but public health officials have been portraying the
sun as the enemy for so long that they don?t want to hear any
alternative conclusions.
But while the American Academy of Dermatology is calling
Holick's recommendations of receiving adequate sun exposure for
health benefits -irresponsible,- other dermatologists say Holick,
who has authored over 100 published papers, developed treatments
for psoriasis and studied sunlight's role in vitamin D
production, is extremely creative and ?ahead of his time.?
While Holick says that sunburns make skin cancer more likely, he
contends that moderate sun exposure could reduce the risk of
prostate and breast cancers, based on epidemiological studies
suggesting a lower incidence of those cancers in sunnier
climates. He also says a few minutes of sun exposure on bare
skin several times a week can help reduce the incidence of
vitamin D deficiency, which occurs often in northern cities
where people don?t receive adequate sun exposure during the
winter months.
Although the resignation is largely symbolic--he will remain
director of BU Medical Center's Vitamin D lab while continuing
to teach with no loss in salary--Holick believes he is ?being
punished for challenging one of the dogmas of dermatology.?
The Selling of Fluoridation In America*
Americans? Health is Being Compromised for Industrial Profit
By John R. Lee, M.D.
Typical American citizens rarely think of fluoridation. If they hear of
some debate or squabble about fluoridation they pass it off as
insignificant, old news, nothing to worry about, nothing that competes
with all the other anxieties and stresses of life these days. This
laissez faire attitude is evidence of the success of media
misrepresentation in the matter of fluoridation. Before your brain goes
on autopilot and you lose focus, consider the following facts.
Within the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) there is something called
the Food and Nutrition Board that, in 1997, attempted to include
fluoride as an essential nutrient. The fact is that no study has ever
found fluoride to be essential for any human metabolic need, and there
is no such thing as a fluoride-deficiency disease state. Numerous
respected and reputable scientists wrote to the Food and Nutrition Board
to object to that classification of fluoride.
Now, the Food and Nutrition Board met again (21 January 1999) and, this
time, acknowledges that, while fluoride is not truly an essential
nutrient, it is a "beneficial element for humans" because of its
supposed dental benefits. Therefore, they again put fluoride on their
agenda that included four truly essential nutrients, calcium,
phosphorus, magnesium, and vitamin D. They hope to raise the recommended
upper limit (UL) to allow even higher concentrations of fluoride in our
drinking water than those previously set.
There are a number of things wrong with the claim that fluoride is a
beneficial element for humans. I will not, in this report, recount all
the evidence that demolishes the Public Health claim of fluoride's
supposed dental benefit. It is not necessary. Even if it worked,
fluoride?s toxicity is sufficient to discontinue fluoridation. However,
you should know that the majority of industrialized countries have
banned or discontinued fluoridation because of their own studies showing
(1) lack of effect and/or (2) evidence of toxicity. Their public health
programs attempt to prevent, as much as possible, environmental public
fluoride exposure.
You might find it interesting that, in 1981, the Rand Corporation
performed an extensive review of the fluoride/dental health literature
and found that the Public Health fluoride studies "suffer from poor
experimental design and from analysis plans that largely ignore the
possible effects of other factors of tooth decay." They stated that the
studies are so poor that they "have no relevance to any criterion of
public policy-making." It is a sad fact that the specific errors they
identified have yet to be corrected.
It should be sobering to realize that low-concentration fluoride powder
was once commonly used as a potent pesticide for chicken lice, to
preserve important papers from earwigs and other insects, and also as a
rodenticide (to kill rats). Because of fluoride's potent toxicity, such
use is no longer allowed. The fluoride promoters do not want you to know
of this history, however.
Further, it should be apparent that there is something truly bizarre
about the Food and Nutrition Board's inclusion of fluoride on the basis
of its being "a beneficial element for humans." By the same argument,
one could include antibiotics, aspirin, and thousands of other agents,
not to mention music, prayer, and clean cotton underwear. The Board's
selection of fluoride raises the question of their motive in linking it
to essential nutrients.
Consider the problem of the "upper limit" of safety. According to the
Federal Code of Regulations, the concentration of any substance in
drinking water must be no more than one hundred times less than that
shown to toxic in any manner. This is the normal safety factor allowed
in water sold to the public. Only fluoride is an exception to this rule.
The only problem the Food and Nutrition Board's panel had with defining
the upper limit of safety for its four nutrients (calcium, phosphorus,
magnesium, and vitamin D) is that the toxic levels are so much higher
than optimal levels they are difficult pinpoint. In the case of
fluoride, however, there is no margin of safety; the so-called optimal
concentration of 1 mg/L is guaranteed to cause dental fluorosis in at
least 10% of children. If fluoride followed the Federal Code of
Regulations, the allowable concentration would be 0.01 mg/L. PHS
authorities avoid this dilemma by redefining dental fluorosis as a mere
"cosmetic" effect rather than a "toxic" effect.
Consider, on the other hand, another recognized toxic effect of fluroide
- osteofluorosis (also known as osteosclerosis) - that results in
calcification of connective tissue that holds bones together. Throughout
the world, this is routinely found to occur with water fluoride at 4
mg/L. Under the Federal Code of Regulations, the allowable level would
be 0.04 mg/L. Even though fluoride has been removed from the Federal
Code of Regulations, the panel members are still confronted with the
dilemma that the PHS-recommended fluoride level in water exceeds known
toxic effects. The concept of an upper limit for safety for fluoride is
an oxymoron; and the panel members are being asked to be the morons.
Twenty years ago, the PHS turned to a different scheme to solve the
fluoridation problem presented by osteofluorosis. They floated a new
diagnosis ? the DISH syndrome. DISH was an acronym for disseminated
interstitial hypercalcinosis. Whenever an X-ray showed calcium
accumulation in connective tissue, the physician merely diagnosed it as
the DISH syndrome, presumably of unknown etiology. The idea that
fluoride was the cause was never considered. Later, when better X-rays
showed excessive bone calcification, physicians were taught to interpret
this as a bone benefit rather than an abnormality.
The inclusion of fluoride in the present meeting of the Food and
Nutrition Board strongly challenged by many top-flight scientists. As
examples I will list four of them who are actively challenging the
Board's action.
Professor of Chemistry Dr. Albert Burgstahler (U. of Kansas), an active
researcher on the toxic effects and chemistry of fluoride for over
thirty years, planned to report the errors in the NAS's arithmetic and
reasoning on the subject. He also planned to point out the inherent bias
of the NAS panel members involved ? their professional life depended on
pleasing the NAS program.
Professor of Chemistry Dr. Paul Connett (St. Lawrence U.) planned to
discuss the mechanisms of fluoride's toxic effects, including recent
information of fluoride-induced suppression of the pineal gland and its
effect on aging and adaptation. He also planned to point out the present
over-dosing by fluoride throughout in America.
Dr. William Hirzy, representing the scientists at the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), planned to explain why his union, the National
Treasury Employees Union, Chapter 20, voted to endorse efforts to ban
water fluoridation. He would gave examples of how fluoride has been
treated as a "protected pollutant" by the EPA, and explain how the union
is trying to change that situation.
Professor Lennart Krook (Cornell U.) planned to summarize his years of
work on the toxicity of fluoride on bone in animals as well as the work
of other researchers and epidemiologists who have reported on the
bone-weakening effects of fluoride, work that has been virtually ignored
by the NAS. His work includes seminal studies of the massive damage to
cattle herds in upstate New York by industrial fluoride emissions.
At the Food and Nutrition Board meeting, these scientists were told
that, despite their signed intention of speaking at the public section
of the meeting, they would not be allowed to do so because they had not
submitted a summary of their planned remarks. After extensive argument,
they were told they would have only a total of 15 minutes to do so.
Fifteen minutes for four reputable scientists, all experts in the field!
By common consent, they selected Professor Paul Connett to be their
spokesman. He astounded the panel members by his mastery of the subject.
He challenged them to use the same criteria of safety for fluoride as
they did with the essential nutrients. He educated them on the
biochemistry and mechanisms of action of fluoride toxicity. He revealed
to them the errors of PHS fluoridation trials. He awakened in them the
concept of the deception to which they were being asked to subscribe.
When he finished, an NAS "manager" (to use the euphemism employed by the
Clinton impeachment prosecutors) rose to announce that the fluoride
upper limit of safety was a product of NAS policy, not the panel's
judgment. It would have been fascinating to know the thoughts of the
panelists at that announcement.
Dr. Hirzy, having been denied the opportunity to speak, brought his
videocamera to record Professor Connett's talk. He was told that this,
too, was denied to him. What is the Board trying to hide?
Don't you wonder why reputable scientists, without any financial gain,
put their careers on the line to oppose fluoride and fluoridation?
On the other hand, don't you wonder why fluoride is so heavily promoted
and so protected by government denial of its toxicity despite all this
scientific opposition?
How did all this obfuscation and deception come about? The true genesis
of the fluoridation deception occurred during World War II. From records
derived via the Freedom of Information act, we now know that our atomic
bomb program created fluoride waste in the use of fluoride flux to
produce uranium 235. The waste fluoride that piled up resulted in
run-off that entered local waterways and resulted in "dead" lakes. The
fluoride killed animal and plant life in the lakes. Also, the synthesis
of uranium hexafluoride, used in atom bomb manufacturing, added to the
problem.
By ignorance and carelessness, chemical industries in New Jersey
producing bomb-grade uranium allowed an escape of waste fluoride into
the air, severely damaging fruit trees and animal life downwind of these
industries. A legal suit for damages brought by folks in New Jersey was
silenced by payoffs to the plaintiffs. Our government's motive at the
time was a desire for secrecy of our atomic bomb making. The problem of
disposal of fluoride waste had to be resolved in a manner that disguised
its true nature. Thus arose the fluoridation concept. Without evidence
or adequate testing, a campaign was mounted to trickle away the waste
fluoride into multiple community water supplies for the supposed benefit
of dental decay prevention.
What keeps the deception going? World War II is history. Everyone knows
fluoride is used in the making of atom bombs. Why does the PHS continue
the pretense of fluoridation safety? Read on.
Since fluoride waste also accumulates in the process of extracting
aluminum from bauxite ore for the business of airplane manufacturing,
this disposal plan was a great boon for the aluminum industries. In
1947, Oscar Ewing, chief legal counsel for Aluminum Corporation of
America (ALCOA), was named head of Federal Security Administration in
charge of the Public Health Service (PHS). It was he who changed the
Federal Code of Regulations to remove fluoride from the regulations that
control food levels of other potentially toxic materials and placed all
control of drinking water fluoride concentration in the hands of the
PHS. He then made fluoridation promotion an official policy of the PHS.
This, of course, led to subversion of science in order to maintain the
fiction of fluoride?s dental benefits and supposed safety. Scientists
willing to go along with the deception were rewarded with secure
positions within the PHS and other government agencies. Scientists
unwilling to do this found their careers halted or destroyed. The
climate of the times dictated the rise of the pseudo-science that
persists today in the fluoridation scam.
The climate is now changed but the beat goes on. We are in an era of
liability litigation. To admit to fluoridation-caused dental fluorosis
and other toxic fluoride effects at this time would instigate a huge
volume of liability legal suits. The fiction must be kept alive. When
Dr. Phyllis Mullenix published her research on the brain-damaging effect
of fluoride in rodents, she lost all funding of future, planned research
projects. Dr. Harold C. Hodge was one of her senior advisors on this
research. During the early days of atom bomb building, he had a leading
role in the medical surveillance of the project during which he observed
brain damage in workers exposed to fluoride. He initiated a study to
investigate it. This study was aborted after 6 months by orders from the
War Department. In 1965 he (with Frank A. Smith) wrote his magnum opus,
Fluorine Chemistry, and never mentioned a central nervous system problem
from fluoride. While senior advisor to the Mullenix research in the
1990?s, he also never mentioned it. He kept his professorships and his
silence on this matter to his grave.
When Dr. Grey, senior public health dental officer in British Columbia,
published his report showing no fluoridation dental benefit among
British Columbia school children (and publicly questioned the usual
claims of fluoride dental benefit), he was sent off to an exile in the
bowels of the national public health offices in Ottawa. When Dr.
Colquhoun, senior public health dental officer in New Zealand, published
his report showing no dental benefit to the schoolchildren of Auckland,
he lost his post, was demoted, and was forced to accept a lower
retirement benefit than his due. Many other examples could be provided.
Since so many countries have chosen not to fluoridate their drinking
water, potential markets for that mode of fluoride disposal have
literally evaporated. Therefore, sites here in the U.S. become even more
important to the fluoride-generating industries. The underlying motive
for the Food and Nutrition Board is merely an attempt to "validate"
fluoridation. Industry needs fluoridation as a dumpsite for their toxic
fluoride waste. Without it, industry suffers. With it, the people
suffer. Who has political power in America? The people should, but the
reality is that industry has the political clout in America today. Only
an educated and aroused citizenry will get our government back on course
to safeguard and serve the people as it is intended to do.
Final thought. On 21 January 1999, another important governmental agency
was engaged in a matter of pesticides and artificial hormones in food.
The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) reversed its previous position
and now plans to issue rules prohibiting the label "organic" for any
food that is irradiated, genetically engineered, or treated with
pesticides or antibiotics. It took 280,000 letters to get the
government's attention on this matter. If the USDA can decide to help
people choose food that is not contaminated with a pesticide, why
doesn?t the PHS and the Food and Nutrition Board help people to drink
water that is not contaminated with the pesticide, fluoride?
We now await the decision of the Food and Nutrition Board panelists.
