*Title:
America Food Poison, Salmonella, Sex, Peanut Butter, Upton Sinclair
The Slow Poisoning of America and Salmonella in Peanut Butter
*Summary:
The American food supply is global, including China and Pakistan,
so-called 'third world countries.'
Government regulators are lax or possibly lacking.
Strong incentives include profit margins by decreasing quality
and minimizing cost in a monopoly/oligopoly corporate advantaged environment.

*What is the key weakness in the American food supply?

poor regulatory and laboratory quality.
*What is the key weakness in the regulations?
It allows laboratory shopping, poor sampling practice or

FDA: Peanut plant knew product was tainted with salmonella
By Miriam Falco, CNN Medical News Managing Editor
The maker of peanut butter linked to a nationwide outbreak of salmonella
shipped tainted product
it knew had tested positive for the bacteria, the Food and Drug
Administration said Wednesday.
Simply sample 'cleaner batches' and rely on the fact that some
laboratories give 'poor quality results.'
This method is called "lab shopping."
"They were lab shopping," said Tommy Irvin, Georgia's agriculture
commissioner.
*What is proper practice?
He said proper practices demand that if any food product tests positive for
salmonella
and another test comes back negative, "you believe the one that is
positive."
*Are QUALITY laboratory results important?
In today's technology based society, YES.
*Do laboratory results vary in terms of quality?
false positives and false negatives.
false negative means NO poison detected, but there IS poison.

number of false negatives is not known.

fraud' and the 'housing financial crisis?

who had
fallen into the cooking vats.
(See Libecap and Pasour for critical examinations of the issues raised in this

When this 1906 novel upset the public, regulation advocates used the public’s
reaction to secure passage
of the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 (as well as the Meat Inspection Act of
1906).

In 2007, a ConAgra peanut butter plant in Sylvester, near Albany, was

 Almost half of tested samples of commercial high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS)
contained mercury,
which was also found in nearly a third of 55 popular brand-name food and
beverage products
where HFCS is the first- or second-highest labeled ingredient, according to
two new U.S. studies.
*Is mercury poisoning easily avoidable?
Mercury contamination comes from caustic soda in the production of HFCS.
There are other alternative chemical processes.

"Mercury is toxic in all its forms. Given how much high-fructose corn syrup
is consumed by children,
it could be a significant additional source of mercury never before considered.
In the first study, published in current issue of Environmental Health,
researchers found detectable levels of mercury in nine of 20 samples of commercial
HFCS.
And in the second study, the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy
(IATP),
a non-profit watchdog group, found that nearly one in three of 55 brand-name foods
contained mercury.

High Fructose Corn Syrup Contaminated with Mercury
Mike Adams, Natural News
*What is the toxicity dosage?
The highest level of contamination found in the study
(http://www.ehjournal.net/content/8/1/2)
was 0.57 micrograms of mercury per gram of HFCS. The EPA says that an average-
sized woman
should consume no more than 5.5 micrograms per day of mercury.
*summary:
average American consumer may be eating five times the upper safety limit of
mercury
every day due to high-fructose corn syrup consumption.
*How to avoid mercury poisoning?
avoid the standard American diet of processed foods, with initials SAD.

The Radiation Poisoning Of America by Amy Worthington
Illa Garcia wore jewelry the first day she went back to work as a fire
lookout for the state of California
in the summer of 2002. The intense radiation from dozens of RF/microwave antennas
surrounding the lookout
heated the metals on her body enough to burn her skin. "I still have those scars,"
she says.
"I never wore jewelry to work after that."
*Is there scientific GLOBAL consensus?
 WTR study program mandated by Congress and completed in 1999.
In 2000, European ECOLOG Institute study.
In 2005, a Chinese medical study confirmed statistically significant DNA
damage from pulsed microwaves at cell phone levels.
*How do we know about slow burn death?
Slow-burn radiation mechanisms are cumulative, progressive, ongoing and
continual.
Thousands of Japanese nuke bomb victims died painfully years after exposure.

*How long is the latency period?

Swedish epidemiological studies confirm that, after 2,000 hours of cellular
phone exposure,
or a latency period of about 10 years, brain cancer risk rises by 240
percent.11
*Is it easy to spot the cell phone towers?
Posted on locked fences around the huts are "danger" warning signs.
Hurtado says, "You look around these sites and you find many dead birds on

*Is there an epidemic of cancer?
Journal of Oncology Practice predicts that, by 2020, there will be so many
cancer cases in the U.S. that
doctors may not be able to cope with their caseloads.

*What is Cipro?
The most widely prescribed of these medications is Cipro, invented in 1983,
and
which as we all came to learn in the wake of 9/11 is so powerful that it can take

abnormally high incidence of side effects
in those people they monitored.

Federal regulators rely on states, who rely on companies to police selves
*Were federal regulators surprised, perhaps again?
Food regulators didn't consider salmonella a threat to most peanut products
before they traced an outbreak
to a peanut butter plant in Georgia two years ago.
*What are the key weaknesses in the quality process?

from uncertainty over how much testing is enough.
*What does the federal law say about inspection?
There is no federal law that mandates the number of inspections that must be
carried out each year at
peanut processing facilities.
The states, in turn, rely on the companies to police themselves between
infrequent visits from state inspectors.
And a number of leading peanut butter companies won't specify what they do to keep
their products from being contaminated.
