Nov. 26, 2008 -- Tiny "trace" amounts of potentially toxic melamine reportedly detected in U.S.-made infant formula pose little if any risk to kids, experts tell WebMD.
Investigative reporters for the Associated Press obtained FDA documents showing the agency has been testing U.S. made baby formula for melamine.
According to the AP report, one brand of formula contained very small amounts of melamine. Another brand contained similarly tiny amounts of cyanuric acid, a related chemical. And a third maker of infant formula told the AP that its own tests detected small amounts of melamine in its product.
It wasn’t until I went to my local Publix grocery store recently that I realized how low pharmaceutical companies would stoop to propagandize the public with lies. While I was at the checkout counter a young woman bagging my groceries looked at me, smiled, and said: “Have you had the flu shot yet.” My mouth almost hit the floor. She couldn’t have asked a bigger opponent of pharmaceutical drugs this question.
I looked at her and asked: “Is Publix management instructing you to ask everyone this?” She said ‘no’ but since all the Publix stores were working together in partnership with Maxim Healthcare Services to administer the flu shot, employees were encouraged to ask customers if they were interested in receiving the shot. I looked at this young woman with pity in my eyes and said: “There’s no way I would put that poison into my body.”
I saw a disturbing clip on the Today Show this morning and want to help spread the word about a potential danger. AS we all face tough economic times, many families are struggling with how to make ends meet and looking for any way to stretch their dollars in order to feed their families. Just as we might add a little water to the broth to give us more soup, parents are innocently adding addtional water to baby formula to make the formula last longer. Watering-down baby formula creates a very dangerous risk to the infant, one that I was not aware of, and suspect that most people do now know.
On December 3rd, Sean Hannity and Alan Colmes interviewed Saddlback Church pastor, Rick Warren. The conversation, centered on the spiritual meaning of Christmas was light and innoucuous – except for a slightly uncomfortable interchange about how Jesus is really the “way” to salvation. When Colmes asked what that meant for folks, like Colmes who is Jewish, Warren joked about “giving Jesus a 60 trial.” The discussion took a strange turn when Hannity asked whether peace was possible given man’s “fallen nature” and the existence of evil. (Comment: Ewww, I love it when Hannity talks cosmology!!!)
Hannity mentioned, as an example of evil, Ahmad Ahmadinjad, and said that he should be “taken out.” He asked Warren if that wish is “evil, dark, or something righteous.” Warren added evil should be stopped and the bible supports that “the Bible says that God puts government on earth to punish evildoers. Not good-doers. Evildoers.” Warren then added a dubious theological and legal point that killing in the name of self defense isn’t murder.
Checkout Neil Cavuto's "editorial" today. (I put the word "editorial" in quotes because the idea that Cavuto limits his editorializing to this one segment is laughable.) It's titled: UAW Chief Suggests Bailout Critics Are Insane.
Comment: The trolls would be all over me if I posted something like this. What, no quotes? No links? How do we know you're telling the truth? Cite your sources!
Disaster used as political payoff
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has done it again.
Already under fire for its woeful response to Hurricane Katrina, the federal disaster agency appears to have turned hurricane relief donations into a political payoff - until it was challenged.
All last week, FEMA bureaucrats gave prominent placement on the agency's Web site to Operation Blessing, the Virginia-based charity run by controversial right-wing evangelist and Christian Coalition founder Pat Robertson.
More amazing, the scientists observed that the act of washing sweet potatoes had jumped over the sea, because the colonies of monkeys on other islands, as far as 500 miles away, began washing their sweet potatoes.
This phenomenon is considered to be due to critical mass. When a limited number of people know something in a new way, it remains the conscious property of only those people. The Hundredth Monkey Syndrome hypothesises that there is a point at which if only one more person tunes in to a new awareness, a field of energy is strengthened so that new awareness is picked up by almost everyone.
