Antibacterial Soaps, Body Care and Other Home Products Containing Triclosan Pose Public Health Hazard OCA / NewsTarget
A chemical called triclosan poses a health risk, as it is a toxic compound which can promote cancer. The most shocking thing is that triclosan is commonly found in everyday consumer goods such as antibacterial soaps, deodorants, body washes, creams, lotions, cosmetics, cleaning supplies, detergents, dishwashing liquids, and yes, mouthwash and toothpaste.

OSU Study: Diet Including Enriched Eggs May Decrease Risk of Heart Disease
New research from Oregon State University suggests that eggs enriched with conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a long chain fatty acid, may increase antioxidant activity while helping to rid the body of cholesterol and fats.
“We’ve taken so much of the animal fat out of our diet, yet Americans are more overweight than ever,” she (Gita Cherian, a researcher in OSU’s College of Agricultural Sciences) said. “The preliminary research suggests that there is likely a connection between the nutrients found in natural fats and the needs of our bodies.” (1-07)

Holistic Approaches to Allergy
Avoidance of contact with whatever it is to which you are allergic deals with one side of the problem, and in many cases allows the body to regain its ability to tolerate the substance(s). The other side of the picture is your body, and if it can be made less toxic, more `hardy`, then it will be better able to cope with substances which might otherwise create allergic problems. This calls for general health enhancement involving consideration of the whole person, including………..
Food Irradiation Facts!

<> Science has not proved that a diet high in irradiated foods is safe in the long term.............

The Human Body -- Toxic Dump Site
After decades of research on chemical contaminants in air, water and on land, scientists have begun to turn their attention to an important, but long neglected pollution site - the human body! Using sensitive new laboratory techniques to detect chemicals and assess their health effects, a growing number of researchers are testing human blood, urine and tissue for an array of environmental contaminants that find their way into the population through pollution or consumer products.
U.S. GOVERNMENT FACTS: Children’s Chemical & Pesticide Exposure via Food Products (pdf)
<> According to the EPA and the Nat'l Academy of Sciences, standard chemicals are up to 10 times more toxic to children than to adults....... children receive 50% of their lifetime cancer risks in the first two years of life. <> According to the FDA, half of produce currently tested in grocery stores contains measurable residues of pesticides. Laboratory tests of eight industry-leader baby foods reveal the presence of 16 pesticides, including three carcinogens. <> In blood samples of children aged 2 to 4, concentrations of pesticide residues are six times higher in children eating conventionally farmed fruits and vegetables compared with those eating organic food.
One new solution to tooth decay has recently been discovered and it involves a natural sweetener that just happens to strengthen teeth against tooth decay. The studies say Xylitol has a unique molecular structure that keeps certain types of bacteria, especially cavity-causing bacteria, from breaking it down for food. Without food, the bacteria don’t have energy. Without energy, they can’t grow or create the acid that causes cavities. In fact, our Xylitol is so good at cutting down on the acid producing bacteria that studies show some tooth decay actually heals itself in a Xylitol environment. Think about trying it for your family. Check it out: www.lifestyle.sustainablelife.info

Chemical Co. Poison to Profit
A shocking fact that few consider is that virtually every major pharmaceutical company has a corresponding branch that creates the toxins and poisons that contribute to the chronic diseases their drugs and medical devices treat. So these huge transnational companies profit not only from the sale of products such as pesticides, herbicides and GM crops, but also from the symptoms and chronic illnesses that they can trigger. See the list
Drug reps use psychological tactics to successfully influence doctors' prescribing habits Where's your prescription medication money going?
Pharmaceutical companies spend more than $15 billion each year promoting prescription drugs in the United States. ... former Eli Lilly drug rep Shahram Ahar… no longer a drug rep, co-wrote… A 2007 paper in the Public Library of Science Journal Medicine uncovers the tactics which pharmaceutical sales reps.....are trained to use in promoting drugs to prescribing physicians……The pharmaceutical industry employs 100,000 drug reps whose job is, first and foremost, to sell drugs. Their tactics are on par with some of the most clever......
Here is an online directory of No Free Lunch, an organization opposed to accepting freebies from the pharmaceutical industry. That means they reject all drug company goodies, from free pens to expensive dinners. By doing so, they rebuff a well-oiled marketing machine that spends about $7.2-billion a year wooing doctors and another $18-billion on sample drugs.
Cancerous Tumors Linked to Chemical Pollution
A comprehensive review of published data has identified 216 chemicals that are associated with increases in mammary gland tumors in at least one animal study. These include industrial chemicals, chlorinated solvents, combustion byproducts, pesticides, dyes and radiation. Twenty-nine are produced in the US at > 1 million pounds a year. Exposure is widespread. Cancer.
Two Million People Killed per year by Air Pollution
"By reducing air pollution levels, we can help countries to reduce the global burden of disease from respiratory infections, heart disease, and lung cancer, which they otherwise would be facing," said Maria Neira, WHO director of public health and the environment.
Inquiry turns to humans on pollutant, hormone tie
A decade ago, the very idea that pollutants could interfere with a body's chemical messages was near the fringes of science. But now, it is an urgent topic for lawmakers and researchers around the world
Scientist Group Urges Ban on Outdoor Pharmaceutical Food Crops Genetically Engineered Rice Contamination Renews Calls for Caution -- Union of Concerned Scientists
Pharmaceutical (pharma) crops such as Ventria's rice pose a threat to our food supply and public health because the proteins they contain are intended to be biologically active in humans and may be harmful if eaten accidentally. When such compounds are produced in food crops grown outdoors, they are almost certain to contaminate the food supply. The contamination routes are numerous, including cross-pollination and seed mixing during commercial growing and seed production.
Increased Rate of Hospitalization for Diabetes and Residential Proximity of Hazardous Waste Sites
.....found a statistically significant increase in the rate of hospitalization for diabetes among the population residing in the ZIP codes containing toxic waste sites.
Contaminants and Diabetes: Is there a connection?
Data gathered by the US CDC reveal strong associations between exposures to persistent contaminants and risk of type 2 diabetes. In a sample of 2,016 Americans, diabetes risk rose significantly with exposure to five of 6 studied contaminants (a PCB, two dioxins and three pesticides). Using an index reflecting simultaneous exposure to the mix of contaminants, the study found that people in the highest exposure category were almost 38 times more likely to have diabetes than those in the lowest.
