Autism in kids up 78%

Why is autism so huge right now? Up 78% in only a decade, no one knows why... but they speculate. There may be issues with it passed genetically, but genetics can't account for such a high jump in such a short time. Toxins and other unknown factors are most likely to blame. Most kids affected are male, and the earlier it's caught the easier it's treated. What are the factors to blame? My guess is it's in the food supply, and it has a lot to do with toxins and/or biologically engineering food.

Pink Slime is left over beef parts and trim that is mixed with water (and evidently some sulfates and/or other toxic nonsense) that is injected as filler in ground beef, yum. Read the article to learn more and see if the meat you've been eating is 'contaminated'.

Is Carmel Coloring is Soda causing cancer?

Probably. But of course, the soda industry is rejecting the claim... however, CNN reports that this week the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), a nonprofit Washington-based watchdog group on nutrition and food safety, is pushing (again) for the FDA to look into the chemicals (or "carmel coloring") in cola that turns it brown. Evidently, the coloring produced by an ammonia or ammonia-sulfite process contains 2-methylimidazole (2-MI) and 4-methylimidazole (4-MI)... chemicals that have been found to be carcinogens in animals. Although there are no tests as of yet as to how this affects humans... "animal studies linking 4-MI to cancer in lab mice and rats prompted the state of California to officially list 4-MI as a carcinogen on January 7, 2011, under California’s Proposition 65, the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986" (as noted in the article on CNN.com). Recently the CSPI found samples of Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, Pepsi and Diet Pepsi to contain more than the allotted 29 milligrams of 4-MI per day under Proposition 65.

What do you think? Is caramel coloring causing cancer? I'll tell you what, if it is, the soft drink industry is sure going to fight long and hard to keep that information from us. Click Here to Read More About it in the Article
