Children in danger from exposure to common chemicals, new studies confirm

(NaturalNews) Although the mainstream medical establishment and the FDA frequently warn against the supposed dangers of alternative health treatments and supplements, they hardly ever mention the perfectly legal and widely used chemical poisons that enter our bodies through the environment. What's more, the EPA has also done little to keep many health-endangering chemicals out of widely-used consumer products. Now, two new studies reveal countless children could be suffering breathing problems due to some of these common chemical threats.

A case in point: researchers from the Columbia Center for Children's Environmental Health (CCCEH) at the Mailman School of Public Health and Columbia University Medical Center have determined that youngsters exposed during the prenatal period to the widely used pesticide additive piperonyl butoxide (PBO) have an increased risk of developing a chronic cough at ages 5 and 6. Their study, just published in the online edition of the journal Environment International, provides evidence that a child's respiratory system is susceptible to damage from toxic exposures while still in the womb. While not due to an infection, a chronic childhood cough can seriously disrupt normal daytime activities and severely disturb sleep for both kids and their parents.

So what exactly is PBO? It's a compound that increases effects of pyrethroids which are found in the pesticides most commonly used by both professional pest controllers and consumers, according to a 2011 study by Mailman School researchers. Previous research showed exposure to one pyrethroid, a variation of permethrin, was especially linked with increased risk for cough by age five. The new study found that children exposed to PBO during pregnancy had an increased risk of coughing unrelated to cold or flu.

If you suffer from any of these symptoms or conditions...

Were you aware that food companies add chemicals to their products that stimulate hunger and disrupt normal appetite control?

It's a clever (but downright devious) strategy for selling more food and boosting the profits of food corporations.

But the truth about these chemicals -- known as excitotoxins -- is never explained to consumers. The food companies don't want you to know that these chemicals cause obesity, infertility, migraines andcancer, among other health problems.

Dirty food company secrets revealed!

Now, in an exclusive Mike Adams interview, Dr. Russell Blaylock reveals the startling truth about these common taste-enhancing chemicals: monosodium glutamate, aspartame, yeast extract, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, autolyzed proteins and more!

In this tell-all interview, you'll learn:

• How MSG and aspartame are related to cancer, obesity, neurodegenerative diseases, and metabolic disorders.
• How food companies hide MSG on food labels by using a "secret code" of innocent-sounding ingredients.
• Why kids eating Splenda may end up with suppressed immune systems.
• How the manufacturers of artificial sweeteners enforce scientific censorship on the dangers of their products.
• The real reason why the American Diabetes Association won't speak out against aspartame.
• Why yeast extract is more dangerous than monosodium glutamate.
• The hidden link between soy and dementia.
• Why many foods labeled "all natural" aren't healthy -- or natural!
• How you can slow MSG and glutamate absorption using nutrients and herbs.
• How aspartame both causes and accelerates cancer.
• Why the pharmaceutical industry needs MSG to help create more patients.

Check your food labels now
How common are these dangerous ingredients? Check the ingredients labels of the food in your pantry right now. Look for yeast extract, aspartame or monosodium glutamate. Also check for any ingredient that's hydrolyzed or autolyzed. If you spot any of these, you have excitotoxins in your food!

You'll find these excitotoxins in:

• Diet soda
• "Sugar-free" drinks and sweets
• Canned soups
• Frozen pizza
• Vegetarian foods, including veggie burgers
• Snack chips
• Diabetic foods
• Salad dressing
• Breakfast sausage
• Beef jerky and chicken strips
• Frozen foods, even "natural" ones
• Instant dinner mixes
• Baby food
• Ranch-flavored dips and sauces
• Gravy mixes and dip mixes
• Bullion cubes and flavor packets
  
  ... and hundreds of other grocery products and restaurant foods.

As Dr. Russell Blaylock explains, these excitotoxin ingredients are known to promote:

• Migraines
• Seizures
• Neurological disorders
• Blurred vision
• Increased appetite / overeating
• Infertility and reproductive disorders
• Impaired brain function
• Cancer / brain tumors
• Heart damage and cardiovascular harm
• Endocrine system damage (affecting hormones)

Boys are mutating into girls

From http://www.freethoughtnation.com/index.php

Needless to say, this aspect of our high-tech world is beyond horrifying. Some of us have known about these facts for quite some time. One of the principal food sources for female hormones is soy, which is being consumed in huge amounts.

As we can see from this article, we are being bombarded by these health-threatening and gender-altering chemicals and hormones from a variety of sources, so just avoiding them in the diet is obviously not sufficient. Even the very clothes we or our children are wearing could be contributing to this mutation.

Very disturbing, indeed.


Why boys are turning into girls

Here's something rather rotten from the State of Denmark. Its government yesterday unveiled official research showing that two-year-old children are at risk from a bewildering array of gender-bending chemicals in such everyday items as waterproof clothes, rubber boots, bed linen, food, nappies, sunscreen lotion and moisturising cream.

The 326-page report, published by the environment protection agency, is the latest piece in an increasingly alarming jigsaw. A picture is emerging of ubiquitous chemical contamination driving down sperm counts and feminising male children all over the developed world. And anti-pollution measures and regulations are falling far short of getting to grips with it....
