Drinking hormones and steroids with your Coffee?



While Starbucks claims to care about environmental and health issues, the truth is in their milk.

Starbucks uses milk from cows that are injected with a growth hormone known as rBGH or rBST to speed up their milk production. Tell Starbucks this is unacceptable! >>

These growth hormones are known to harm cows and could pose health risks to humans. But factory farms continue to use them as an attempt to increase their profitability. Starbucks lets them get away with using the damaging hormones by serving this milk to millions of unknowing consumers!

Let Starbucks know it’s time to step up and serve safer milk >> http://go.care2.com/e/R0DZ/IhP3/U1cM

The use of rBGH increases the rate of udder infections in cows, and contributes to the growth of antibiotic resistant bacteria. What’s more, injections of rBGH raise the levels of another hormone called IGF-1 in the cow and its milk. Too much IGF-1 in humans is linked to increased rates of colon, breast and prostate cancer.

The rBGH hormone is banned in Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and all 25 countries in the European Union. But the United State’s Food and Drug Administration ignores the growing controversy, allowing the damaging growth hormone to be used.

Join the movement of consumers who won’t tolerate being served milk from cows treated with dangerous growth hormones. Take action >>

Thank you for helping to make a difference!

Starbucks uses milk from cows treated with the hormone rBGH. This is bad for cows, humans AND the environment!

Let Starbucks know it's time to step up and serve safer milk!

Stuck to Your Head, Cooking Your Brains...

You may have heard mixed reviews of whether cell phones are harmful or not and I want to explain why you should expect this...

You see there is a huge multi-billion dollar industry that has been setup whose revenue depends on your confidence in wanting to use your cell phone without hesitation.

As word gets out that there may be potential health issues resulting from cell phone use there are huge press campaigns broadcast distractions of the real news!

This has happened time and time again and it crosses over into the Scientific Studies. It's fairly common knowledge that these days scientific studies about anything can be bought and sold. If a company's got enough money they can fund a study and skew the results to their desired result.

Review the scientific literature on cell phone safety and you'll see just that - a hung jury.

If these devices were truly safe I think all the studies would have verified this. The situation can be simplified:

1. Many people, yourself possibly included, find that they get headaches and discomfort when talking on a cell phone - for some folks it is only on long calls while others get reactions from even a quick call.

2. Many heavy cell phone users have openly complained that their newly formed brain tumors are (1) positioned right where their cell phone were held next to their ear (same side of the face) and (2) shaped very consistently with the antenna of a cell phone (see George Carlo's book 'Cell Phones Invisible Hazard of the Wireless Age).

3. Cell phone towers have been documented to affect bird migration. While industry execs and their scientific advisory boards seem to insist that this is a result of blinking lights on these towers this is unlikely.

Maybe you'll agree with me that you should be concerned with this issue - and that while many people are asking 'Are there health dangers from using a cell phone?' the more appropriate question to ask is 'What are the health dangers from using a cell phone?'

Rocket Fuel in Drinking Water

Rocket Fuel in Drinking Water:
Perchlorate Pollution Spreading Nationwide

Drinking water for more than 20 million Americans is contaminated with a toxic legacy of the Cold War: A chemical that interferes with normal thyroid function, may cause cancer and persists indefinitely in the environment, but is currently unregulated by state or federal authorities.

Perchlorate, the explosive main ingredient of rocket and missile fuel, contaminates drinking water supplies, groundwater or soil in hundreds of locations in at least 43 states, according to Environmental Working Group’s updated analysis of government data. EWG’s analysis of the latest scientific studies, which show harmful health effects from minute doses, argues that a national standard for perchlorate in drinking water should be no higher than one-tenth the level the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency currrently recommends as safe.

Perchlorate is a powerful thyroid toxin that can affect the thyroid’s ability to take up the essential nutrient iodide and make thyroid hormones. Small disruptions in thyroid hormone levels during pregnancy can cause lowered IQ and larger disruptions cause mental retardation, loss of hearing and speech, or deficits in motor skills for infants and children.

In California, Arizona and Nevada, where testing has been most extensive, well over 20 million people drink water from public and private sources known to be polluted with perchlorate. This estimate includes millions of customers of 81 contaminated public water systems in California and aproximately 20 million customers in the three states who get at least part of their drinking water from the perchlorate-tainted Colorado River. (Because there is some overlap between systems that are supplied by groundwater sources and those supplied by the Colorado River, a total cannot be calculated by adding the two figures.)
