American Foods Chockfull of Ingredients Banned in Other Countries

Story at-a-glance

• More than 3,000 food additives -- preservatives, flavorings, colors and other ingredients -- are added to foods in the United States. Many of these additives are banned in other countries
• Ingredients banned in other countries yet allowed in the US include various food dyes, the fat substitute Olestra, brominated vegetable oil, potassium bromate (aka brominanted flour), Azodicarbonamide, BHA, BHT, rBGH, rBST, and arsenic
• Russia has announced a ban on virtually all U.S. meat and meat product imports, effective February 11, due to the feed additive ractopamine in the meats
• In the US, ditching processed foods is your best bet to avoid potentially harmful food additives. If you live in Europe you may have more options, as you may be able to find processed foods that do not contain any synthetic additives at all

(NaturalNews) Just when you thought eating fish was iffy enough due to Fukushima radiation, the gulf oil spill, mercury and other toxins found in fish, one of the largest seafood fraud investigations in the world to date has found that 59 percent of the tuna Americans consume is not really tuna. Worse still, most of the fake tuna was found to actually be a fish known for causing gastrointestinal problems.

The non-profit ocean protection group Oceana collected more than 1,200 samples from 674 retail outlets in 21 states from 2010 to 2012 to determine if they were honestly labeled. DNA testing found that one-third of the 1,215 seafood samples were mislabeled, according to U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines...

FTC now demanding double-blind testing on nutritional supplements--the same used for drugs--if the FTC gets away with this illegal maneuver, that is the FDA's requirement for drugs, not food which is what dietary supplements are, the FTC will wipe out the dietary supplement industry -- Check out Utah's Rep. Chaffetz's new bill, HR 1364 - it doesn't address the FTC double-blind study, but changes the FDA's regs against peer reviewed science being allowed by dietary supplement industry's marketing

Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Threatens Your First Amendment Rights and Attempts to Censor Paleo Blogger
February 19, 2013
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/02/19/attack-against-paleo-blogger.aspx?e_cid=20130219_PRNL_art_2&utm_source=prmrnl&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20130219

Story at-a-glance

• An attorney of the Alliance for Natural Health discusses how organizations such as the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND), formerly known as American Dietetic Association (ADA), are threatening your freedom of choice about your health and nutrition
• The North Carolina Board of Dietetics/Nutrition launched an attack on a blog featuring nutritional principles of the Paleo Diet, accusing the blogger of providing nutritional counseling without a license; in response, he filed a lawsuit against the board for violating his first amendment rights
• The AND seeks to monopolize the market by “eliminating the competition,” using volunteers to quietly pass state legislation that silences anyone daring to go against their nutritional recommendations, which are largely designed to support the junk food and pharmaceutical industries
• FDA works in collusion with AND to limit your access to truthful health information, and the most recent target has been the nutritional supplement industry
• Congressman Chaffetz has introduced H.R. 1364, the Free Speech About Science Act (FSAS), a bill that would alter FDA regulations to enable supplement companies to cite peer reviewed science, making it easier for you to gain access to information important to your health 

You Can Help Fight for Your First Amendment Rights

There are steps you can take to protect free speech and your right to natural health information, including nutritional supplements.

1. Go to the Alliance for Natural Health and click on the "Campaigns" tab to find out what campaigns are currently active. Click on the "Take Action" tab to find out where the AND is active (at the state level) and where you can help. The action steps depend on the particular state. The site will help you contact the appropriate legislative representative so that you can urge them to not support certain bills.
2. Also visit Really Eat Right, which tracks the actions of the AND. The site exposes AND's funding of pharmaceutical and junk food industries, as well as concerns about advice you may get from a registered dietitian.
3. Support H.R. 1364, the Free Speech About Science Act. You can do this by going to this page on the Alliance for Natural Health website, which includes a quick way to send your message to Congress. 

Interesting Write-Up About Drones and How it Ties in with a Power Grab by the FTC, by Dr. Mercola

U.N. Launches Drone Investigation Into Legality Of U.S. Program

Story at-a-glance

• The “military industrial complex” has become the military industrial government. Other industries seem to have taken over our healthcare, banking, food and agriculture at the federal level as well
• Attacks on your civil liberties will likely eventually affect your right to choose what foods you want to buy, the supplements you want to take, and the healing modalities you want to pursue to stay healthy
• The FTC recently circumvented current law and made new ones, squashing free speech in the process, when it ruled that POM Wonderful had made disease claims on its product, and that “a double-blind random-controlled trial (RCT) is required for any “efficacy” claim, and two double blind RCTs for any claim that might seem to be related to a disease”. Double-blind RCT’s required for making disease claims is actually an FDA labeling standard for drugs—not food. It’s not for the FTC to demand a product provide such evidence
• If the FTC prevails in requiring double-blind RCTs, only pharmaceutical companies will be able to make health claims on their patented and FDA-approved products
• A new bill called the Free Speech about Science Act (FSAS) has been introduced, which would allow natural product companies to cite peer-reviewed science in their advertising. Please take action to support this bill

Biotech Industry Ups Propaganda Efforts with Undercover Ambassadors?

February 17, 2013

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/02/17/biotech-industry-increases-propaganda-plans.aspx?e_cid=20130217_PRSNL_Art_1&utm_source=prmrsnl&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20130217

Story at-a-glance

• The biotech industry, led by Monsanto, is increasing their propaganda efforts to reshape their public image, and sway your opinion against the need to label genetically engineered foods
• Part of this makeover program appears to be the recruitment of seemingly independent “ambassadors” to covertly lobby the GE agenda. The appearance of being an independent voice is imperative for the role to be effective
• One such “covert” agent appears to be Mark Lynas, an environmentalist and writer, who claims to have “converted” to a pro-GE stance after he “discovered science.” His claims of being a mastermind of the anti-GE movement before he changed his mind, has been vehemently rebuffed by veterans in the movement, who don’t recall him being involved in any meaningful way
• The fight for GMO labeling has now moved to the state of Washington, where the people's initiative 522, "The People's Right to Know Genetically Engineered Food Act," will require food sold in retail outlets to be labeled if it contains genetically engineered ingredients

The DOE claims the low dosage of radiation in consumer goods is "safe" and "effective," and in the end, will also "protect the environment" by having private industries purchase the radioactive scrap metal to put into their products, instead of the radioactive corporations disposing of it themselves -- Haven't we heard this before, with Fluoride?? Instead of the industrial waste disposing of their waste, our cities buy their waste from them to put into our drinking water! So now we will also be buying radioactive scrap metals to "dispose" of for them in our everyday consumer goods!!

DOE Submits Plan to Recycle Radioactive Waste into Consumer Goods

February 16, 2013
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/02/16/recycling-radioactive-waste.aspx?e_cid=20130216_PRNL_art_2&utm_source=prmrnl&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20130216

Story at-a-glance

• The Department of Energy (DOE) has released a proposal that would allow nearly 14,000 tons of radioactive metals to be recycled for use in consumer goods (eyeglasses, surgical implants, stainless steel water bottle, etc.)
• The proposal would modify an existing suspension that will now allow scrap metals from radiological areas to be released to private industry to be used for any purpose, including recycling
• The DOE’s proposal would only add to the growing amount of radioactive scrap metal already circulating globally, contributing to increasing “background” levels of radiation exposure that have been linked to cancer, cataracts, birth defects and more
• "...it also doesn’t hurt that sales of the metals could bring in up to $40 million a year for the DOE"

Radioactive Scrap Metal is Already a Problem

The radiation-safety chief for one of the world's biggest stainless-steel scrap yards actually told the Seattle Times last year that:⁶

“The major risk we face in our industry is radiation… You can talk about security all you want, but I've found weapons-grade uranium in scrap. Where was the security?”

That company alone found 145 nuclear items in their scrap metal in 2011 and another 200 in 2010. It’s unclear how much of this radioactive metal slips through the cracks and ends up getting processed into metal goods that are then sold to unassuming consumers…

Obamacare to soon cost the average American family $20,000 a year, announces IRS

"...So now the truth comes out. Obamacare is a total scam, a complete rip-off, a massive handout to Big Pharma and a disaster to the U.S. wage earner. Obamacare is going to bankrupt America. Every family, small business owner, and corporations is going to be financially suffocated under this burden...

Obamacare was always designed, from the very start, to loot the American taxpayer and put government in a position of monopolistic power over your health care decisions. This is the move toward fascism that's going to absolutely gut America and put millions of people on the street, homeless, jobless and diseased..."

10 solutions for real health care in America

You want a real health care solution? Here are 10 commonsense points:

1) Arrest all Big Pharma CEOs and top executives who have been involved in felony crimes, price fixing, doctor bribery, experiments on children and so on.

2) Outlaw vaccines additives such as mercury, aluminum, MSG and formaldehyde.

3) Decriminalize natural medicine and stop prosecuting alternative cancer doctors.

4) Abolish the FDA and end the drug monopoly cartel. Restore the free market to medicine.

5) Halt all Medicare and Medicaid payments to drug companies, hospitals and health insurance companies. Instead, issue patients VOUCHERS that they can spend in any way they wish, to receive whatever form of care works for them. This would restore the free market to medicine, where competition would drive down prices and spur improved patient outcomes.

6) End all intellectual property claims on genes and medicines. Break Big Pharma's insidious cycle of inventing fictitious diseases and then marketing those fake diseases in order to sell deadly chemicals to a gullible public. Medicine belongs in the public domain, not in the hands of the greedy few.

7) Break the chain of influence between drug companies and medical journals, medical schools and the media. Outlaw drug money influence over all these institutions. Prosecute doctors for bribery if they have accepted money, gifts or free vacations from Big Pharma.

8) Decriminalize free speech about nutritional supplements, herbal remedies and natural therapies. Allow makers of natural products to tell the truth about the healing benefits of their products.

9) Encourage states to pass "medical freedom zone" laws that nullify federal laws concerning health care in their particular states. Openly allow the practice of alternative cancer therapies, nutritional therapies, etc. Turn your state into a medical tourism destination for all Americans!

10) End the artificial legal protections of Big Pharma and the vaccine industry. Restore due process rights to patients who have been harmed by drugs or vaccines. Only through this will drug companies clean up their act and stop killing to many people.
