TOXINS COME IN MANY FORMS

TOXIC BEAUTY

New research in 2008 discovered LEAD in lipstick

and MERCURY in mascara. Lead is a potent

neurotoxin that is found naturally in nature that can

cause brain damage.

Hair straightening treatments used to style and slick

down male and female tresses with protein plus

FORMALDEHYDE make the world of beauty

sometimes ugly!

When it comes to smelling fresh and clean, the

average consumer uses SYNTHETIC CHEMICAL

perfumes, soaps, and deodorants on a daily basis

starting in our youth.

A study published in the Journal of Applied

Toxicology found a chemical called PARABENS in

the tissue of breast cancer tumors. Parabens are

preservatives found in thousands of cosmetic, food

and pharmaceutical products, including some

deodorants and antiperspirants”

The Dark Side of BreakfastWe eat toxic foods for breakfast and snacks and in our fast foods and sodas. The worst culprit is breakfast!“Over the years, Kellogg has marketed so many foods that are so high in sugar . . . they should really be called breakfast candies” (CBSNews.com, 2009, n.p.), according to CSPI executive director Michael Jacobson. It is now 2011 and Kellogg is in the news again with new strategies to renege on their voluntary compliance.

FIRST EXPOSURE

Advertisers Market to Children and Develop Loyal

Consumers Numerous studies have shown that foods

heavily marketed to preschool and grade

school children are predominantly high in

sugar and fat, which is the antithesis of

healthful eating recommendations for

children.

Experimental studies have consistently

shown that children exposed to food

advertising prefer and choose advertised

food products more frequently than those

not exposed to such ads”. (Story &

French, 2004, n.p.).

Page 11: Embracing Toxins by Janara Iman

Junk foods:heavily marketed to children

A fruit-less sugary cereal gussied

up with synthetic dyes, is one of a

host of junk foods marketed

heavily to kids. Kellogg is one of

many companies seeking to kill

federal voluntary nutrition

standards intended to promote

children’s health” (Center for

Science in the Public Interest,

2011).

“Froot Loops”

Embracing toxins:starts with the youth as consumer

A child’s first request for a

product occurs at 24 months.

(Story & French, 2004)

The most requested first in-store

request is:

breakfast cereal (47%)

snacks and beverage (30%)

toys (21%). advertising

In 2004, a total of $7.5 billion

was spent on some form of

targeted advertising to kids.

Sweet Toxins & Flavor Enhancers: “Embraced Daily” in Foods

Toxic substances accumulate in the body from:

Artificial

sweeteners

Aspartame

NutraSweet

Equal

Spoonful

E951

Canderel

MSG

super-sized

sodas

chewing gum

toothpaste

packaged and

processed

foods

fast foods

diet foods

Disguised on labels as “natural flavors”

Toxins are FDA and EPA approved:in minute amounts to make our life better

for our Chemical Banquet

Every day we happily embrace toxins

that we love and excitotoxins

(sweeteners, MSG, preservatives and

artificial colors)

Monsanto makes our Genetically

Modified (GMO)seeds and sweeteners.

It is argued by Dr. Little that “Biotech

crops are rigorously tested for safety

prior to their use and over two trillion

meals made with GMO ingredients have

been safely consumed around the world

over the past 15 years without a single

substantiated health issue.”

for Chemical Enhancers

W a r n i n g !“Biotech giant Monsanto has created some of

the most dangerous products on the planet,

including:

Agent Orange,

Dioxin,

Bovine Growth Hormone

Genetically Modified Seeds”

(Mercola,2011).

Toxins: are grown inside our foods

TOXINS IMPLANTED INTO GM FOOD CROPS to kill pests are reaching the bloodstreams of women and unborn babies, alarming research has revealed.

A landmark study found 93 per cent of blood samples taken from pregnant women and 80 per cent from umbilical cords tested positive for traces of the chemicals.

Millions of acres in North and South America are planted with GM corn containing the toxins which is fed in vast quantities to farm livestock around the world - including Britain.

However, it is now clear the toxins designed to kill crop pests are reaching humans and babies in the womb - apparently through food.

These include so-called Bt toxins, which are implanted using GM techniques into corn and some other crops.

Traces of Bt toxin were found in the blood of 93 per cent of the pregnant mothers - 28 out of 30. It was also found in 80 per cent of the umbilical cords - 24 out of 30.

Are TOXINS Here to Stay?

Whether toxins are designed by nature

or by the chemist, we embrace them

and endorse them to our friends and

families every day as we are seduced,

persuaded or manipulated (unwittingly

by slick advertisement without full

disclosure) into living a better, more

attractive and more convenient lifestyle.
