What's wrong with what we eat...

..:: "A new peer-reviewed study published in the journal DIABETES CARE found a strong link between DIABETES onset and blood levels of a group of toxic industrial chemicals, dumped into rivers, and charmingly known as "persistent organic pollutants" (POPs), PBDEs, and PCBs manufactured by Monsanto. Given these findings and the emerging link to DIABETES, it would be wise to limit your consumption of factory-farmed meat and fish.

Greenpeace blocking indusrial pollution into the Ocean

www.Greenpeace.org blocking industrial pollution into the Ocean

Chemicals, heavy metals, pesticides, industrial compounds (including PCBs) and other toxins pollute the oceans via a direct result of a range of human activities. Once released, pollutants accumulate in the marine food chain.

Marine mammals - whales, dolphins and porpoises - are most at risk from pollution, because they are at the top of the food chain. Worse, many chemical compounds concentrate in fatty tissue like whale blubber.

Most pollutants will suppress an animal's immune system, rendering it more susceptible to infection. The most dangerous pollutants are chemicals that can disrupt hormones (known as endocrine disrupters), which have immense potential for harm and can interfere with reproduction, even at very low concentrations.

Are you eating Fish 'n' POPS tonight?

Scarily, not only seafood accumulates POPs (PCBs) in their bodies passed to human consumers. When oily fish are rendered down into fish meal and fish oils and subsequently used to feed other animals, then this too can act as a pathway to humans. Farmed fish and shellfish, dairy cattle, poultry and pigs are all fed fish meal ( 36 per cent – of the world's total fisheries catch each year is currently ground up into fish-meal to feed farmed animals ! ), and so meat and dairy products as well as farmed and wild fish can act as further sources of PCBs and many cancerous chemicals eaten by humans.
