Might explain why so many people have cancer and other things. It should be noted though that some things have much higher concentrations than others, and so it just makes sense to be careful of those. You cannot escape it entirely, but you can certainly reduce your exposure to a lot of it.queequeg152 said:

I don't believe its much different, especially since some of them allow for a higher concentration of roundup to be sprayed, which has its own toxic metals and chemicals in it. I treat that stuff like its poison, which it is. Some of the studies done which have been sort of hidden from the public have shown damage to organs such as the liver from consuming these so called foods. Now think about it, combine a food that prevents the liver from working properly, and combine heavy metals and chemicals with it; what is going to happen? Considering that the liver is the main organ responsible for eliminating toxins, its going to cause your body to store whatever toxins are present during consumption. Increase the burden of toxins on the body, and you increase your chances for diseases and symptoms plain and simple.Proud Marine Dad said:

awwww i just got done making my tin foil hat to,now your telling me i dont need it geesh.
lol but i do agree with you, not everything about these chemicals and stuff they say is true, some of it is very hazardous to our health and half of us dont even know it.
Not really. The myth that people are living longer only applies if you take the whole of the population and compare it to the dark ages or other times when life expectancy was lower. However, if you examine the differences between generations a different picture emerges. People will look at how long the generation before the baby boomers lived and say see, we are living much longer. That generation had little to no chemicals in their foods and in fact grew a lot of it themselves and understood how to eat by combining different foods; had proper sanitation and actually exercised. They did not fight for the closest parking space to the mall, or drive their car to the mailbox, and in fact they were quite active. However as you come to the baby boomers, and the generations after them you will see a drop in life expectancy. They did not learn from their parents, and instead became overweight and stopped exercising, and consumed whatever was put in front of them, regardless if had any value. Chemicals and other practices became common in their foods, and no one thought twice about it, except for the rare few that could actually think for themselves. They did not question anything, and thus suffered and are suffering for their ignorance. Now I know that might sound harsh, and of course I realize that not all of them are this way, however the vast majority are. I will wager that their generation will not live nearly as long as their parents, and the generations after them will see a substantial drop due to diseases such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease. Most of this is due to their horrible dietary habits, lack of exercise and the pollution of the food supply, and more importantly, ignorance. As well, parents can only pass on nutrients that they themselves have. The lack of some vitamins and minerals alter genetics, which in turn leaves their children more prone to diseases as their nutritional base is much lower than their grandparents. I have seen many people who will not touch a vegetable, eat basically the same junk day after day, then wonder why they have cancer and other problems that their parents and grand parents avoidedProud Marine Dad said:
. I am not saying that their grandparents had absolutely none of these problems, but it was on a much smaller scale. Anyone remember when people used to die in their sleep simply from old age, and not some disease? Its becoming less and less common.I agree that is a good one to watch. Definitely an eye opener if your eyes are willing to be openedCayennemist said:

No one thinks anymore, instead others do the thinking for them. Then when someone like me points out in a respectful way what should be obvious, they get mad. Now a days people care more about being right, then knowing the truth. Well there is a price to pay for putting your head in the sand. Its like our country which is on the verge of an economic collapse, and people actually believe the economy is getting better. Why? Because someone on television said so? People will ignore the hardcore facts, and instead believe the hype that is pushed by likeable and believable people. Again not many people think for themselves and take the time and effort to check the facts. I think we are in the age of lower intelligence.
For the record I am not implying that your this way. I am just saying that the common blanket statement about people living longer is not really true if its critically examined in its entirety, and here are some of the reasons why I believe that.
That is true for the most part, but i believe it is changing. Heavy metal and chemical contamination is not restricted only to the U.S. Your in Japan, and I bet that what happened in Fukoshima will lower the longevity of the Japanese, especially since many are large consumers of seafood. The Japanese gov. has not told the whole truth about how bad it really is over there. I hope to be wrong though as I don't wish bad health on anyone.filmost said:
