(NaturalNews) After years of sweeping the issue under the rug and hoping
no one would notice, the FDA has now finally admitted that chicken meat sold
in the USA contains arsenic, a cancer-causing toxic chemical that's fatal in
high doses. But the real story is where this arsenic comes from: It's added
to the chicken feed on purpose!
Even worse, the FDA says its own
research shows that the arsenic added to the chicken feed ends up in the
chicken meat where it is consumed by humans. So for the last sixty years,
American consumers
who eat conventional
chicken have been swallowing
arsenic, a known
cancer-causing chemical. (http://www.phillyburbs.com/news/local/burlington_county_times_news/fd...)
Until this new study, both the
poultry industry
and the FDA denied that arsenic fed to
chickens ended up in
their meat. The fairytale
excuse story we've all been fed for sixty years is that "the arsenic is
excreted in the chicken feces." There's no scientific basis for making such
a claim... it's just what the poultry
industry wanted
everybody to believe.
But now the evidence is so undeniable that the
manufacturer of the chicken feed product known as Roxarsone has decided to
pull the product off the shelves (http://www.grist.org/food-safety/2011-06-08-fda-admits-supermarket-ch...).
And what's the name of this manufacturer that has been putting arsenic in
the chicken feed for all these years?
Pfizer, of course --
the very same company that makes vaccines containing chemical adjuvants that
are injected into children.
Technically, the company making the
Roxarsone chicken feed is a subsidiary of Pfizer, called Alpharma LLC. Even
though Alpharma now has agreed to pull this
toxic feed chemical off
the shelves in the
United States, it says it won't necessarily remove it from feed
products in other
countries unless it is forced by regulators to do so. As reported by AP:
"Scott Brown of Pfizer Animal Health's Veterinary Medicine Research and
Development division said the company also sells the ingredient in about a
dozen other countries. He said Pfizer is reaching out to regulatory
authorities in those countries and will decide whether to sell it on an
individual basis." (http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/food/2011-06-08-fda-chicken-...)
Arsenic? Eat more!
But even as its arsenic-containing product is
pulled off the shelves,
the FDA continues its campaign of denial, claiming arsenic in chickens
is at such a low level that it's still
safe to eat. This is even
as the FDA says arsenic is
a carcinogen, meaning it increases the risk of
cancer.
The
National Chicken Council agrees with the FDA. In a statement issued in
response to the news that Roxarsone would be pulled from feed store shelves,
it stated, "Chicken is safe to eat" even while admitting arsenic was used in
many flocks grown and sold as
chicken meat in
the United States.
What's astonishing about all this is that the FDA
tells consumers it's safe to eat cancer-causing arsenic but it's dangerous
to drink elderberry
juice! The FDA recently conducted an armed raid in an elderberry
juice manufacturer,
accusing it of the "crime" of selling "unapproved drugs." (http://www.naturalnews.com/032631_elderberry_juice_FDA_raid.html)
Which drugs would those
be? The elderberry juice, explains the FDA. You see, the elderberry juice
magically becomes a "drug"
if you tell people how it can help
support good health.
The FDA has also gone after dozens of other
companies for
selling natural herbal products or nutritional products that enhance and
support health. Plus,
it's waging a war on raw milk which it says is dangerous. So now in
America, we have a
food and drug regulatory agency that says it's okay to eat arsenic, but
dangerous to drink elderberry juice or raw milk.
Eat more
poison, in other words,
but don't consume any healing foods. That's the FDA, killing off Americans
one meal at a time while protecting the profits of the very companies that
are poisoning us with their deadly ingredients.
Oh, by the way,
here's another sweet little disturbing fact you probably didn't know about
hamburgers and conventional
beef: Chicken litter containing arsenic is fed to
cows in factory beef
operations. So the arsenic that's pooped out by the chickens gets consumed
and concentrated in the tissues of cows, which is then ground into
hamburger to be
consumed by the clueless masses who don't even know they're
eating second-hand
chicken sh*t. (http://www.naturalnews.com/027414_chicken_disease_cows.html)
