POPSTainted nightmare
The main focus Let's switch to another aspect of vaccines, the real focus of this article, which is the plan to destroy our intellect, our health and our sexuality via a mass world wide vaccination campaign. With the use of special additives called adjuvants, manufacturers are able to increase the number of possible doses that can be made on time for the fall flu season. But though there are many safe adjuvants which can be added, they are adding one - squalene, which has been shown to cause prolonged systemic immune response against the squalene itself, which results in reduced fertility, reduced intellect and reduced life span. Squalene is an important molecule in the body. It is a precursor to many different oils and hormones, and is needed for proper brain function, fertility and also plays an important role in protecting cells from aging and mutation. Anything which affects your natural squalene can have a major negative impact on your health. Because the squalene will be

POPSThe Seven Most Dangerous Ingredients in Conventional Foods 3) Excitotoxins -- aspartame, monosodium glutamate and others (see below). These neurotoxic chemical additives directly harm nerve cells, over-exciting them to the point of cell death, according to Dr. Russell Blaylock. They're found in diet soda, canned soup, salad dressing, breakfast sausage and even many manufactured vegetarian foods. They're used to add flavor to over-processed, boring foods that have had the life cooked out of them.

POPSSeeing Through Industrial Food’s 'Personal Responsibility' Smoke Screen Many processed foods available today are filled with empty calories that contribute to our weight, and therefore health, problems. We have drifted away from actually cooking home meals using the same whole foods that food processors use but without all the additives, preservatives and processing that degrades the nutrition we all need. In the name of convenience were are literally starving our bodies of what is really needed and we are propping up pro food to continue on this destructive path. Let’s get reacquainted with in-home food preparation, even if its only one day a week, and tell pro food to start taking some responsibility in its part to help keep us healthy.

POPSGo PVC-Free for Back-to-School Parents across the country are stocking up on the latest binders and lunchboxes over the next few weeks. But while it’s easy to know the healthiest foods to pack in those lunchboxes, many parents are not aware of the toxic plastic used to make them. In fact, the average child’s character-themed backpack is filled with supplies and materials made from one of the most toxic plastics, polyvinyl chloride (PVC or vinyl). That’s why we at the Center for Health, Environment and Justice (CHEJ) have released our 2nd annual Back-to-School Guide to PVC-Free School Supplies to help you make healthy shopping choices that are safer for your kids, your community and the environment. The guide features a listing of safer PVC-free school supplies in over 20 product categories - from lunchboxes and backpacks to raingear. We even put together a handy wallet-sized version of the guide for your shopping needs on the go.

POPSFlu Risks Could Get Riskier A mix of greed, real concerns, and getting ahead of ourselves to provide political and health cover could brew up a real mess. Let's hope and demand that the decisions on flu shots are super open and that real safety is the driver and not profits or desire to protect political hides.

POPSResearchers find possible environmental causees for Alzheimer's, diabetes, Parkinson's More: Nitrites and nitrates belong to a class of chemical compounds that have been found to be harmful to humans and animals. More than 90 percent of these compounds that have been tested have been determined to be carcinogenic in various organs. They are found in many food products, including fried bacon, cured meats and cheese products as well as beer and water. Exposure also occurs through manufacturing and processing of rubber and latex products, as well as fertilizers, pesticides and cosmetics.

POPSCigarettes Without Smoke If I could say one thing to anyone reading this, it is that smoking causes cancer. Take it from me, cancer is a terrible disease. If you do one thing for yourself and for the people who love you try to break the addictive power that nicotine has over you today. You will breathe better, you will smell better, and your quality of life will be so much better. And your risk of cancer will go down with less exposure.

POPSHidden Link Between Factory Farms and Human Illness http://www.motherearthnews.com/Natural-Health/Me This is particularly troubling because of the rapid rise of antibiotic-resistant microbes, an inevitable consequence of the widespread use of antibiotics as feed additives in industrial livestock operations. than 350 professional organizations have called for greater regulation of antibiotic use in livestock. The Infectious Diseases Society of America has declared antibiotic-resistant infections an epidemic in the United States. The FAO recently warned that global industrial meat production poses a serious threat to human health. This article contains some very interesting and scary facts we all need to know. I really am not of an alarmist nature, but I urge everyone to read this.

POPSUS Should Follow Europe's Lead on Toxins
The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics lists numerous toxins that appear regularly in cosmetics and personal care products, among them lead and phthalates. Phthalates are linked to birth defects, including disruption of genital development in boys, decreased sperm counts and infertility. Lead actually appears in lipstick and hundreds of other products. The CSC reports that "lead ... is a proven neurotoxin -- linked to learning, language and behavioral problems ... miscarriage, reduced fertility in both men and women, hormonal changes, menstrual irregularities and delays in puberty onset in girls." This is the stuff women and girls are putting on their lips all day, licking off and reapplying. The European Union, with 27 member nations representing almost half a billion people, is asserting itself on issues of toxins, using serious economic muscle. Stavros Dimas, European Union commissioner for environment, explained the long-term benefits of regulation: "The medical expenses for chemical-r

POPSA Great Idea! Free up costly prison space, legalize and tax marijuana and use the tax money to fight the real drug problem: pharmaceutical drug misuse. Wow, what an idea. Why can't any of our elected officials see this simple solution to prison overcrowding? Why can't anyone see that it's the DOCTORS that are causing the drug problems in this country by their misuse of dispensing pharmaceuticals? It is simply ludicrous to jail people for smoking a NATURALLY OCCURRING PLANT WITH NO ADDITIVES!

POPSFood additive ties to lung cancer If you have to add some inorganic material to food to get you to eat it then why eat it in the first place? The bottom line is that processed foods present as much danger as smoking and excessive drinking. Scientists want to determine what is a safe level of inorganic phosphates in the diet. Here’s my answer: zero.

POPSFirst Self-Healing Coatings Bielawski points to the practical aspects of the Illinois coatings, which are made up of cheap, readily available chemicals. And Braun says that the new additives could be used in a wide range of applications in coatings that are cured up to temperatures of about 150 °C. The group demonstrated the self-healing system in various coatings, including in a commercial military ship paint. Most work on self-healing materials, including those developed by the Illinois group, has been aimed at incorporating them into various structures, restoring mechanical properties to walls so that they won't crumble or to airplane wings so that they won't fracture. The key to the coating technology, says Braun, was encapsulating the catalyst. If unprotected, the catalyst could degrade the coating itself; encapsulating it makes the system compatible with a wide range of paints and coatings.

POPSA Plan to Add 12 Points to Everyone's IQ with Food Additives Of course, the next enhancer to come along might be distributed as unequally as iodized salt has. Right now, most developed countries have iodized salt, and many developing ones don't. Once the whole world has been iodine-enhanced, it's very possible that the richest nations will get salt that contains nutrients that boost IQs by 50 points, and therefore increases incomes respectively
