Pesticides in Foods Are Not Safe! 27 Dead Children!

[man]

Once a foreigner noticed that when a worm is found in an apricot in Armenia, some Armenians throw the worm away and eat the apricot. I like blueberries in USA and when I was eating some the other day I noticed a very tiny blue worm and throw it away with the fruit. Not so the next time as I keep the blueberries washing and consume them without inspecting it for worms, anyway a worm is protein and might help after all worms are the caviar of birds so why humans would get upset when accidentally they consume it. I rather have some worms rather be killed and get sick by pesticides here in USA. Now to the news from India:

PATNA: Forensic tests have confirmed presence of poisonous pesticides in the midday meal served to students of a primary school in Chhapra on July 16, leading to the death of at least 27 children. The cooking oil, used to prepare food at the school, was laced with highly toxic pesticide, the report said on Saturday.

The forensic science laboratory (FSL) said the contaminated food contained monocrotophos, an organophosphate insecticide, after experts examined samples of oil from the container, food remains on the platter and remains of food items in the utensils, additional director general of police (HQ) Ravindra Kumar said.

Revealing the FSL findings, Kumar said the froth from the mouth of one of the sick children was collected on a cotton gauge on that day. The FSL team had also collected samples of water used by the school kids besides the oil used in preparing vegetables for the mid-day meal at Dharmashati Gandaman Primary School in Saran district, about 80 km from here.

The ADG said the FSL used the standard analytical method of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) which detected monocrotophos which is very toxic to humans and other animals. It is used as a pesticide. Quoting from the data of the forensic report, he said, "the peak area of the poisonous substance in the oil was more than five times in comparison to the commercial preparation used as pest control."

He said the results were interpreted by using the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) library, an internationally accepted database.

He said police are probing how and from where the poisonous substance got mixed in the oil.

The postmortem report had confirmed presence of a poisonous substance in the potato-soyabean curry served to the children.

Recently I started to have headaches, then I noticed that I am having them just after I had a hot tea of 100% natural "Celestial Seasonings" which I had bought a box recently. when I stopped drinking that brand of tea the headaches stopped, so I did some research in NaturalNews site, I found out that "Celestial Seasoning" company have changed hands three times and is no longer made by its original first producers which gave that tea fame. I found in the article that Celestial is now one of worst teas seasoned by pesticide loads since herbs with loaded pesticides are cheap to buy; and that "Twinings" tea is the less one having pesticides in smaller quantities. I will start to buy organic teas from now on.

[Sip]

it's all about "how much" ... even drinking too much water can kill you.

[man]

Your body has a system for eliminating toxins, however if this system fails or you are getting MORE toxins in various shapes and from various sources OVER the amount your system is able to eliminate then your body get loaded with toxins from the overdose and you get diseased which are various and many according to each individual makeup, one of which is having chemical sensitivity which drives you crazy as you can not stand any chemical vapors, liquids or residues which in our modern life in our chemical society of America is full of if not made of from. Drinking lots of pure water always helps as water eliminates toxins from your system. The LIFE is in the blood, if your blood get saturated with toxins then your fullness of Life takes a holiday away from you and you suffer: physically, mentally and spiritually.

Since the life of the physical body is in the blood we see those members of hard rock bands who are heavy on drugs and they would have died long ago because of that --they keep living on because once in a while they go to hospitals and drain their all sick blood and replace it with new blood infusions.

So those pesticides that are killing the bees for example, when loaded into humans if they do not kill humans, like they do to the bees, the human IMMUNE SYSTEMS are comprised and human consumers fall sick sooner or later.

"researchers found that pollen samples in fields ranging from Delaware to Maine contained nine different agricultural chemicals, including fungicides, herbicides, insecticides and miticides. One particular sample even contained 21 different agricultural chemicals. To test their theory, they fed pesticide-ridden pollen samples to healthy bees and then infected them with the parasite. They found that the pesticides hindered the bees’ abilities to resist the infection, thus contributing to their deaths. The fungicide chlorothalonil was particularly damaging, tripling the risks of parasitic infection"

 

Scientists confirm: Pesticides kill America’s honey bees

July 27, 2013

 

Honey bees are quickly disappearing from the US – a phenomenon that has left scientists baffled. But new research shows that bees exposed to common agricultural chemicals while pollinating US crops are less likely to resist a parasitic infection.

As a result of chemical exposure, honey bees are more likely to succumb to the lethal Nosema ceranae parasite and die from the resulting complications.

 

Scientists from the University of Maryland and the US Department of Agriculture on Wednesday published a study that linked chemicals, including fungicides, to the mass die-offs. Scientists have long struggled to find the cause behind the Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), in which an estimated 10 million beehives at an average value of $200 each have been lost since 2006.

Last winter, the honey bee population declined by 31.1 percent, with some beekeepers reporting losses of 90 to 100 percent of their bee populations. Scientists are concerned that “Beemageddon” could cause the collapse of the $200 billion agriculture industry, since more than 100 US crops rely on honey bees to pollinate them.

 

The new findings are key in determining one of the causes of the CCD, but they fail to explain why entire beehives sometimes die at once.

 

UMD and DOA researchers found that pollen samples in fields ranging from Delaware to Maine contained nine different agricultural chemicals, including fungicides, herbicides, insecticides and miticides. One particular sample even contained 21 different agricultural chemicals. To test their theory, they fed pesticide-ridden pollen samples to healthy bees and then infected them with the parasite. They found that the pesticides hindered the bees’ abilities to resist the infection, thus contributing to their deaths. The fungicide chlorothalonil was particularly damaging, tripling the risks of parasitic infection.

 

“We don’t think of fungicides as having a negative effect on bees, because they’re not designed to kill insects,” Dennis vanEngelsdorp, the study’s senior author, said in a news release.

 

He explained that federal regulations restrict the use of insecticides while pollinators are foraging, but noted that “there are no such restrictions on fungicides, so you’ll often see fungicide applications going on while bees are foraging on the crop. The finding suggests that we have to reconsider that policy.”

 

Bees are declining at such a fast rate that one bad winter could trigger an agricultural disaster. California’s almond crop would be hit particularly hard, since the state supplies 80 percent of the world’s almonds. Pollinating California’s 760,000 acres of almond fields requires 1.5 million out-of-state bee colonies, which makes up 60 percent of the country’s beehives. The CCD is a major threat to this $4 billion industry.

 

Entomologists suspect that a number of other factors also contribute to the CCD, including climate change, habitat destructing and handling practices that expose bees to foreign pathogens. But the effect of agricultural chemicals is particularly alarming, especially since the US does not have laws banning the use of the pesticides that are affecting bee health.

“The pesticide issue in itself is much more complex than we have led to believe,” vanEngelsdorp said. “It’s a lot more complicated than just one product, which means of course the solution does not lie in just banning one class of product.”

In Armenia there is malnutrition because of poverty and ignorance and there is tobacco/smoking "plague" that is poisoning her people; and sicknesses resulting from parasites in fresh vegetables are common as in other parts of Middle East, not to mention the use of toxic chemicals in food production and farming to eliminate insects that thrive on those foods but in general the Armenians are very wary of chemical use in foods and prefer natural made ones and most families in rural areas live from self gardened produce in their own small farm-lots. In America the poisoning factors has other dimensions; most do not smoke now in America (only very few do) because their physical systems can not take any more toxins, here is some good feedback from a NATURALNEWS' site article about the the poisoning of the people of USA

 

Humans are poisoning themselves to death in USA

 

Consider these shocking truths of modern society:

 

• Our food in USA is intentionally laced with chemical poisons to make it look red (sodium nitrite), or taste savory (MSG), or sweeten artificially (Aspartame, NutraSweet, Neotame) or last longer on the shelves (chemical preservatives).

 

• Our medicines are laced with fluorine molecules to make them highly reactive to brain cells (SSRIs).

 

• Our vaccines our formulated with trace levels of brain-damaging methyl mercury and chemical adjuvants to provoke an "inflammatory" response in the immune system which also happens to cause autism, seizures and brain damage.

 

• Our lawns are sprayed with synthetic poisons that cause Alzheimer's and depression.

 

• Our water supply is used as a toxic waste dump to dispose of fluoride compound chemicals that would otherwise have to be handled as toxic waste.

 

• Food intended for human consumption is intentionally stripped of most minerals, vitamins and nutrients to promote the maximum disease, while food intended for ranch animal consumption is fortified with minerals, vitamins and nutrients to promote maximum health. (If you don't realize your food is stripped of nutrition, ask yourself why your sugar and bread are both white when the plants they come from are green and brown...)

 

• The media teaches the public that nutrition is useless but that prescription medications are "essential nutrients" required for healthy living.

 

• There is lead in cosmetics, cadmium in rice, arsenic in seaweed, mercury in vaccines and aluminum in almost everything. The human race is being heavily poisoned with heavy metals.

 

These toxins cause brain damage

The cumulative effect of metals poisoning, fluoride poisoning, pesticide poisoning, vaccine poisoning and food additive poisoning is biochemical brain damage.

 

We are living in a society where 90% or more of the population is literally brain damaged beyond repair [luckily humans use only 10% of their brain and that is why they are able take more damages]. This is why irrationality has gone wild everywhere you look. It's why people keep buying the same poisons that have already poisoned them while turning to medications to mask the symptoms of that poisoning, thereby poisoning themselves even further with the meds.

 

It's why the No. 1 treatment for cancer is a chemical cocktail ("chemotherapy") which causes, as its top side effect, more cancer. And it's why a rapidly-expanding subset of the population is now utterly unable to read, to parse words, to speak in coherent sentences or even to engage in anything resembling rational discourse.

 

The ramifications of this epidemic of brain damage are bewildering. For starters, the entire system of justice and democracy upon which our republic is based is contingent upon people being sane. The sacred concept of a "jury of your peers" depends on your peers being sane. The idea of voting for public office also requires sane voters in order to achieve sane outcomes, and the "free market" system of capitalism and consumer choice assumes that consumers make rational decisions to drive that market.

 

But they don't. Consumers are brain damaged, then brainwashed, dumbed-down and manipulated. Voters are deluded and intentionally confused. Juries are manipulated and misinformed. In every sector of society where a group of sane people was supposed to restore balance and reason, we now have insane people driving society even further into the ground.

 

We are living in an era of metals poisoning, chemicals poisoning and information poisoning

Never before in the history of the world has the toxic burden on human beings [in part of the world known as USA] been so great (and tragic). Never before has the chasm between the sane and the insane become so wide (and so dangerous). We are living in an era where rationality is alien to the masses.

 

Why Americans of the 1950's were our greatest generation

Adults who ran society in the 1950's were raised on real foods in the 1920's and 30's. Those foods consisted, in large part, fresh home-grown garden foods. GMOs didn't exist. Toxic vaccines were barely on the radar. Chemical food additives were rarely consumed and pharmaceuticals were considered medicines to be used exclusively on sick people, not the entire population.

 

As a result, most people who lived in the 1950's strove to be healthy and intelligent. Many were outright geniuses by today's standards. The grade school mathematics taught in the 1950's included subjects that, today, are college courses: algebra and basic geometry, for example. Ten-year-old kids in the 1950's could read classic American novels. Today's kids can barely read comic books.

 

Engineers and scientists of the 1950's were brilliant, healthy and hip. With nothing more than simple, mechanical slide rules, they could perform high-level mathematics that would make today's college professors cower in awe. But today's scientists are often just corporate hacks spewing fraudulent science on patented medications or GMO seeds.

 

In the late 1940's and throughout the 1950's, Big Food cranked up its factories, churning out processed, nutrient depleted foods at a pace never before witnessed in the history of human civilization. So the kids of the 1960's got raised on "imitation" foods -- things that looked and tasted nutritious but lacked any real nourishment. By the 1970's, they were all eating white bread and getting shot up with vaccines formulated with hidden cancer viruses like SV40.

 

As the 1980's rolled in, Americans who were raised on imitation foods became pathetic and lazy, and in the 1990's they became delusional, falling for the dot-com boom which soon became a bust. By the early 2000's, America had fully entered "brain damage" mode......

So what have you to do? Those are things Armenians need to know before coming to USA.

There are alternatives in organic foods or after accumulating some wealth (at the risk of their health) pack up and go back to Armenia.

So you are an expert wealthy bee-keeper in Armenia and is considering moving to USA to keep bees and be a millionaire!Read this before you do!

 

Scientists discover what’s killing the bees and it’s worse than you thought

By Todd Woody July 24, 2013

http://qz.com/107970/scientists-discover-whats-killing-the-bees-and-its-worse-than-you-thought/

 

As we’ve written before, the mysterious mass die-off of honey bees that pollinate $30 billion worth of crops in the US has so decimated America’s apis mellifera population that one bad winter could leave fields fallow. Now, a new study has pinpointed some of the probable causes of bee deaths and the rather scary results show that averting beemageddon will be much more difficult than previously thought.

 

had struggled to find the trigger for so-called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) that has wiped out an estimated 10 million beehives, worth $2 billion, over the past six years. Suspects have included pesticides, disease-bearing parasites and poor nutrition. But in a first-of-its-kind study published today in the journal PLOS ONE, scientists at the University of Maryland and the US Department of Agriculture have identified a witch’s brew of pesticides and fungicides contaminating pollen that bees collect to feed their hives. The findings break new ground on why large numbers of bees are dying though they do not identify the specific cause of CCD, where an entire beehive dies at once.

 

When researchers collected pollen from hives on the east coast pollinating cranberry, watermelon and other crops and fed it to healthy bees, those bees showed a significant decline in their ability to resist infection by a parasite called Nosema ceranae. The parasite has been implicated in Colony Collapse Disorder though scientists took pains to point out that their findings do not directly link the pesticides to CCD. The pollen was contaminated on average with nine different pesticides and fungicides though scientists discovered 21 agricultural chemicals in one sample. Scientists identified eight ag chemicals associated with increased risk of infection by the parasite.

 

disturbing, bees that ate pollen contaminated with fungicides were three times as likely to be infected by the parasite. Widely used, fungicides had been thought to be harmless for bees as they’re designed to kill fungus, not insects, on crops like apples.

“There’s growing evidence that fungicides may be affecting the bees on their own and I think what it highlights is a need to reassess how we label these agricultural chemicals,” Dennis vanEngelsdorp, the study’s lead author, told Quartz.

Labels on pesticides warn farmers not to spray when pollinating bees are in the vicinity but such precautions have not applied to fungicides.

 

Bee populations are so low in the US that it now takes 60% of the country’s surviving colonies just to pollinate one California crop, almonds. And that’s not just a west coast problem—California supplies 80% of the world’s almonds, a market worth $4 billion.

 

In recent years, a class of chemicals called neonicotinoids has been linked to bee deaths and in April regulators banned the use of the pesticide for two years in Europe where bee populations have also plummeted. But vanEngelsdorp, an assistant research scientist at the University of Maryland, says the new study shows that the interaction of multiple pesticides is affecting bee health.

“The pesticide issue in itself is much more complex than we have led to be believe,” he says. “It’s a lot more complicated than just one product, which means of course the solution does not lie in just banning one class of product.”

 

The study found another complication in efforts to save the bees: US honey bees, which are descendants of European bees, do not bring home pollen from native North American crops but collect bee chow from nearby weeds and wildflowers. That pollen, however, was also contaminated with pesticides even though those plants were not the target of spraying.

“It’s not clear whether the pesticides are drifting over to those plants but we need take a new look at agricultural spraying practices,” says vanEngelsdorp.

In just the last ten years, over 40% of the bee colonies in the US have suffered Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD). Bees either become so disoriented they can’t find their way back to their hives and die away from home, or fly back poison-drunk and die at the foot of their queen. There are many arguments as to what is causing CCD, but the most logical and likely culprit is the increased usage of pesticides

While we don’t need bees to pollinate every single crop, here is just a brief list of some of the foods we would lose if all our bees continue to perish: (click in wikipedia link below)
