Re: RE : OT: New report on diet and cancer advises Minimise exposure to aflatoxins

[Guest guest]

Until we know that NO moldy grain, corn or wheat is MIXED IN with

clean foodstuffs it might be prudent not to use them at all.

>>> This is feasible impossible. There have been some reports that

recently surfaced and also the evening news, that only about 1/3 of

our crops and grains are tested for these toxins. The FDA had

acknowledged this and they are severely short-handed and are unable

to test not only the crops within the US, but you can only imagine

the amount that is released to the general public from imports. Even

though this is a whole different subject I don't believe that there

is a website large enough, capable of holding all this information

concerning contaminated foodstuffs from the amount of info that I

receive. There are many crops across the country that are

continuously fighting fungal contamination and new mutations that

they have not dealt with before.

I think the chemical industry has created basically many new

mutations by the fungicides that are continously sprayed on crops.

harsh, but the FDA cannot be trusted to ensure a clean food supply -

the EPA can't be trusted to ensure the environment where it is

prepared is clean - people have to make their own decisions about

what they buy and eat. Pretty sad state of affairs.
