We Eat, Breathe, and Play in Toxins
TOXINS COME IN MANY FORMS
We stroll through them
a backyard barbeque on the lawn on a summer day
as we enjoy a game of golf
a day at the pool
as we spray our hair
cover our grey
lacquer our nails
deodorize our armpits
germ-proofing homes
manicuring our gardens to kill the weeds and the pests.
We embrace toxins
TOXIC BEAUTY
New research in 2008 discovered LEAD in lipstick
and MERCURY in mascara. Lead is a potent
neurotoxin that is found naturally in nature that can
cause brain damage.
Hair straightening treatments used to style and slick
down male and female tresses with protein plus
FORMALDEHYDE make the world of beauty
sometimes ugly!
When it comes to smelling fresh and clean, the
average consumer uses SYNTHETIC CHEMICAL
perfumes, soaps, and deodorants on a daily basis
starting in our youth.
A study published in the Journal of Applied
Toxicology found a chemical called PARABENS in
the tissue of breast cancer tumors. Parabens are
preservatives found in thousands of cosmetic, food
and pharmaceutical products, including some
deodorants and antiperspirants”

We Invite them into our lives in our breakfast

The Dark Side of BreakfastWe eat toxic foods for breakfast and snacks and in our fast foods and sodas. The worst culprit is breakfast!“Over the years, Kellogg has marketed so many foods that are so high in sugar . . . they should really be called breakfast candies” (CBSNews.com, 2009, n.p.), according to CSPI executive director Michael Jacobson. It is now 2011 and Kellogg is in the news again with new strategies to renege on their voluntary compliance.

Sugar, Artificial Sweeteners and
Trans-Fats Breakfast Candies
Baby’s First Step:in the womb itself
first plastic toys
first pajamas are among first exposures
FIRST EXPOSURE
Advertisers Market to Children and Develop Loyal
Consumers Numerous studies have shown that foods
heavily marketed to preschool and grade
school children are predominantly high in
sugar and fat, which is the antithesis of
healthful eating recommendations for
children.
Experimental studies have consistently
shown that children exposed to food
advertising prefer and choose advertised
food products more frequently than those
not exposed to such ads”. (Story &
French, 2004, n.p.).
Junk foods:heavily marketed to children
A fruit-less sugary cereal gussied
up with synthetic dyes, is one of a
host of junk foods marketed
heavily to kids. Kellogg is one of
many companies seeking to kill
federal voluntary nutrition
standards intended to promote
children’s health” (Center for
Science in the Public Interest,
2011).
“Froot Loops”
Embracing toxins:starts with the youth as consumer
A child’s first request for a
product occurs at 24 months.
(Story & French, 2004)
The most requested first in-store
request is:
breakfast cereal (47%)
snacks and beverage (30%)
toys (21%). advertising
In 2004, a total of $7.5 billion
was spent on some form of
targeted advertising to kids.
(Seiter & Gass, 2004)
Sweet Toxins & Flavor Enhancers: “Embraced Daily” in Foods
Toxic substances accumulate in the body from:
Artificial
sweeteners
Aspartame
NutraSweet
Equal
Spoonful
E951
Canderel
MSG
super-sized
sodas
chewing gum
toothpaste
packaged and
processed
foods
fast foods
diet foods
Disguised on labels as “natural flavors”
Toxins are FDA and EPA approved:in minute amounts to make our life better
for our Chemical Banquet
Every day we happily embrace toxins
that we love and excitotoxins
(sweeteners, MSG, preservatives and
artificial colors)
Monsanto makes our Genetically
Modified (GMO)seeds and sweeteners.
It is argued by Dr. Little that “Biotech
crops are rigorously tested for safety
prior to their use and over two trillion
meals made with GMO ingredients have
been safely consumed around the world
over the past 15 years without a single
substantiated health issue.”
for Chemical Enhancers
W a r n i n g !“Biotech giant Monsanto has created some of
the most dangerous products on the planet,
including:
Agent Orange,
Dioxin,
Bovine Growth Hormone
Genetically Modified Seeds”
(Mercola,2011).
PROCON
Toxins: are grown inside our foods
TOXINS IMPLANTED INTO GM FOOD CROPS to kill pests are reaching the bloodstreams of women and unborn babies, alarming research has revealed.
A landmark study found 93 per cent of blood samples taken from pregnant women and 80 per cent from umbilical cords tested positive for traces of the chemicals.
Millions of acres in North and South America are planted with GM corn containing the toxins which is fed in vast quantities to farm livestock around the world - including Britain.
However, it is now clear the toxins designed to kill crop pests are reaching humans and babies in the womb - apparently through food.
These include so-called Bt toxins, which are implanted using GM techniques into corn and some other crops.
Traces of Bt toxin were found in the blood of 93 per cent of the pregnant mothers - 28 out of 30. It was also found in 80 per cent of the umbilical cords - 24 out of 30.

Are TOXINS Here to Stay?
Whether toxins are designed by nature
or by the chemist, we embrace them
and endorse them to our friends and
families every day as we are seduced,
persuaded or manipulated (unwittingly
by slick advertisement without full
disclosure) into living a better, more
attractive and more convenient lifestyle.
