Nanotech Food - Color Me Paranoid but I Find This Disturbing

[redsamurai]

As usual you present a classically and tragically flawed straw man argument based on more hyperbole which you seem utterly incapable of divorcing yourself from.

It's an utterly ridiculous position to take that unless you're near contest ready shape that you shouldn't worry about things like....oh.....mercury in your food or whatnot. I mean you're just not a serious customer. I'd like to think that if you took just 30 minutes a week to do search's on a few of these issues, like "nutrasweet"(aspartame)which you so cheekily stated as, you'd come to a better understanding of how these toxins have a cumulative affect. It's not "just one", it's all of them that are in everything including the air. If someone told you when you die that you lost a decade or more of your time down there because of this shit...you'll be salty guaranteed. And before you subsequently accuse me of hyperbole as well I suggest you do some reading.

The problem isn't people not reading articles. It's an issue of comparative impact. People who worry about GM foods or subtle environmental toxins are typically so focused on these issues that they overlook the more fundamental ones.

I avoid our local health nut grocery store like the plague. But when I do get stuck there, it never ceases to amaze me. I'll watch some woman hassle a clerk over the contents of a random food item. But guess what? The woman looks a good 15 lbs overweight and doesn't look like she's experienced vigorous exercise in months (if not years).

If you are within 2 lbs of your ideal bodyweight, carefully balance your daily regimen of both cardiovascular training and resistance training, plan your effective sleep strategy (including support surfaces, timing of sleep and hours), carefully plan your meal portions by calorie count, get blood draws and comphrehensive blood work on a monthly basis and stay under a physician's care, manage your exposure to supernormal stimuli (including TV, movies and Internet), and remain constantly vigilant to maintain proper of airflow and fume exhaust all around you at all times, then you probably are ready to make sure your radishes were grown and harvested in the proper manner. Otherwise, it's largely wasted effort.

P.S. I do think we have an evolutionarily-instilled fear of putting something "bad" into our bodies. That's where some of that irrational fear comes from. And if you don't think we have irrationally-elevated fears driven from evolution, consider this: There are tens of thousands of people who are 100+ overweight who are slowly eating themselves to death -- but are afraid of spiders, snakes (or whatever).

you heard that the research behind the vaccination theory was all made up bullshit right?

You're refering to chlorine right? Thanks. Good one to know!

As a mother of a child with Autism and who is in the camp that believes the U.S.'s way of immunizing children is what is triggering the hereditary Autism gene to run amok (think the movie Legend), I am very wary of anything at the cellular/molecular level.

I have my son on something that maybe totally hocus pocus, but it's "zeolite" by Waiora and is suppose to be a gentle way of doing kelation. It's from lava and is suppose to remove the toxins like thimerosol (sp?) from his system. I don't particular think it's thimerosol is the cause. I believe his immune system has run amok from being overcharged w/immunizations. (Other industrialized countries DO NOT immunize with as many as we do.- on the same note as flouride and GMOs etc...) Just because WE do it, doesn't mean it's the best way to do things and that it's okay and safe. Very arrogant way of thinking and it makes us trust too much in the big powers that be that everything they is is right and okay. Just ask my son- Oh, wait,you can't.... he's locked up inside and speaking English is like you speaking a new foreign language- every day is a struggle to express himself, but if he could express himself, he'd give the powers that be a big middle finger.

Have kids? Look at their shot records and compare to yours- soooo many more shots than what we had and did we die off by the thousands because we didn't have as many? No. I don't let him have any more shots. With everyone else getting shots anyway, he'll be fine. Yes, at the molecular level we just assume eveything is okay because can't feel it or see it.

well that would depend on who you're listening to. I'm not keen on listening to doctors who have a conflict of interest due to their ties with the drug industry.

there isnt enough tinfoil in north america is there?

on the issue of vaccination I cannot comment because I haven't researched that at all. I have heard about it obviously and I remember there being some severe complications for a few people from the swine flu vacc. It's interesting you bring up n america though because it's ironic, those accused with wearing tinfoil in N.America often times have the same views as world reknowned doctors and scientists in Europe, China, India...to just name a few. Medical research is taking divergent paths all over the globe and people are coming to some pretty staggering conclusions. Here in the states the AMA dictates everything and smacks anyone down who doesn't tow the line. Is the ivy league dentist at my gym wearing tin foil when he tells me of the conferences he attended in the 80's over fluoride in tap water where dissenters got shouted down? Fluoride which they are now finding also likes to imbed itself in brain tissue and does all sorts of mischief. Some of the old guys are starting to talk and I advise you to listen. Or you can just smirk at them and offer them some tinfoil.

this says it all.

say's what? That I'm admitting there's a subject I haven't studied therefore I can't comment on? Seems to me that's a rational position that more people on this site would be better served in taking up.

Yeah the researcher made it up.
British Journal Retracts Paper Linking Autism and Vaccines - NYTimes.com

Personally, I judge the risks and benefits of various things, it is really a personal choice, after all it is MY body.
IMO:
Frequent handwashing is far better than hand sanitizer
Vaccinations are better than getting preventable diseases
Tap water is fine to drink, filtered water is fine too. Finding clean water in 3rd world countries is the real problem.
Pesticides can be washed off no probs, but organic would be preferable (as I get hives from unwashed sprayed fruit)
Plain, wholesome food is better than processed food.
Mercury in fillings is minimal, and does the job it's supposed too
There is no benefit from detoxifying treatments, your organs already do that for you
GM food could help with world hunger, but also presents a huge legal problem for farmers
Food with added nanotechnology that is small enough to cause genetic damage might be a problem, lets do more research before it is used in food
I prefer to use toxic bug repellent that can be washed off than get West Nile virus
and so on.

Maybe the retraction is just a conspiracy!

What if big food and corporate America had formed a secret coalition with medical research and convinced them to withdraw their findings???
