Epstein, chairman of the Cancer Prevention Coalition, warns that the American Cancer Society has close financial ties to the makers of mammography equipment. Five radiologists have served as presidents of the American Cancer Society (ACS). In its every move, the ACS promotes the interests of the major manufacturers of mammogram machines and films, including Siemens, DuPont, General Electric, Eastman Kodak, and Piker. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com BPA contamination found in 90 percent of soup cans http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/harmful_products/news.php?q=1283273906 (NaturalNews) A product survey conducted by The Independent found that the toxic chemical bisphenol-A (BPA) is used in 18 on the 20 top-selling canned food products in the United Kingdom. BPA is one of the most widely produced chemicals in the world. It is used to harden plastic in everything from infant and water bottles to mobile phone and computer casings, and also to make linings for cans of food, beverages and infant formula. Yet a growing body of research has implicated the chemical as an endocrine (hormone) disruptor that can lead to cancer, birth defects, behavioral problems and other diseases. The FDA recently reversed its position on the safety of BPA, acknowledging concern over the chemical's effects on the development and brains of infants and young children. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com Is This Common Kitchen Appliance Harming Your Health? http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/harmful_products/news.php?q=1283194622 By now, you probably know that what you eat has a profound impact on your health.

China! http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/harmful_products/news.php?q=1282055364 (NaturalNews) Much of the fluoride added to municipal water supplies across the United States is imported from China, and is contaminated with heavy metals, according to a warning by Bernard Miltenberger, president of the Pure Water Committee of Western Maryland. In a letter published in the Cumberland Times-News, Miltenberger notes that he first became aware of the issue in an engineering report for the city of Boulder, Colo. The report noted that the fluoridation chemicals used for the city's water had been evaluated, and were found to contain lead levels of 40 milligrams per bag and arsenic levels of 50 milligrams per bag. The bags were being imported from China under no regulatory monitoring of acid or salt content. Miltenberger then visited the Frostburg Water Filtration Plant in Maryland and noticed that the fluoride bags were not labeled with any importation information. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com Aspartame And MSG Make You Fat, Cause Depression http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/harmful_products/news.php?q=1281639517 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com Rise in male infertility linked to plastic food and drink cartons http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/harmful_products/news.php?q=1281548540 The rise in male infertility has been linked to a chemical commonly used in food and drinks containers. Men with the highest levels of Bisphenol A (BPA) in their bodies had sperm counts which were 23 per cent lower on average than men with the least exposure, a study showed. There was also a ten per cent increase in their sperm DNA damage. BPA is used to harden plastics and is found in the linings of food and drink cans, reusable water bottles, CD cases, plastic cutlery and baby bottles. Despite being banned in Canada, three US states and Denmark, British authorities insist the controversial compound is safe. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com FLUORIDE TRUTH hits the TV in AUSTRALIA http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/harmful_products/news.php?q=1281375272 TV NEWS show exposes Fluoride for what it is - poison!

High-fructose corn syrup contains 55 percent fructose and 45 percent glucose. In contrast, table sugar (also known as sucrose) contains a 50-50 split. In the first study, published in the journal Pharmacology, Biochemistry and Behavior, researchers from Princeton University found that rats consuming high fructose corn syrup gained more weight and developed more cardiovascular risk factors than rats consuming equivalent amounts of sucrose. "Some people have claimed that high-fructose corn syrup is no different than other sweeteners when it comes to weight gain and obesity, but our results make it clear that this just isn't true, " researcher Bart Hoebel said. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com Fosamax osteoporosis drug linked to sudden hip fractures http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/harmful_products/news.php?q=1281361257 (NaturalNews) A growing body of evidence suggests that a popular family of osteoporosis drugs may actually lead the weakening of bones, increasing the risk of fractures. Use of bisphosphonates such as Merck's Fosamax for more than five years may predispose women to break their femurs (thigh bones), yet neither Merck nor the FDA has made any effort to warn doctors of this fact. "We are seeing [thigh fractures in] people just walking, walking down the steps, patients who are doing low-energy exercise," said Dr. Kenneth Egol of New York University. The injuries in these patients appear more similar to those that would be expected from a car accident than from a minor fall, he said. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com Companies may soon be required to prove chemical safety before use http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/harmful_products/news.php?q=1281194805 (NaturalNews) There is a new piece of legislation before Congress that will require chemical manufacturers to prove that an industrial chemical is safe before they can use it in products. The Toxic Chemicals Safety Act of 2010 will grant more power to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to regulate chemicals and will update the antiquated Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976 to keep up with the times. According to environmental advocates, the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976 is inadequate at protecting both people and the environment from toxic chemicals because the thousands of new chemicals that have been created since its passage are excluded from its mandates. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com MSG: Is This Silent Killer Lurking in Your Kitchen Cabinets http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/harmful_products/news.php?q=1281103599 A widespread and silent killer that’s worse for your health than alcohol, nicotine and many drugs is likely lurking in your kitchen cabinets right now. [1] “It” is monosodium glutamate (MSG), a flavor enhancer that’s known widely as an addition to Chinese food, but that’s actually added to thousands of the foods you and your family regularly eat, especially if you are like most Americans and eat the majority of your food as processed foods or in restaurants. MSG is one of the worst  food additives on the market and is used in canned soups, crackers, meats, salad dressings, frozen dinners and  much more. It’s found in your local supermarket and restaurants, in your child’s school cafeteria and, amazingly, even in baby food and infant formula. MSG is more than just a seasoning like salt and pepper, it actually enhances the flavor of foods, making processed meats and frozen dinners taste fresher and smell better, salad dressings more tasty, and canned foods less tinny. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com A Little BPA Along with Your Change? http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/harmful_products/news.php?q=1281072171 You stand in line with your latte, your tube of toothpaste or your cart of groceries, you hand over your cash or credit card to the cashier, and he hands you back the receipt.

The Mayo Clinic is one of the few research organizations in the United States that does not accept corporate funding. Sales of GlaxoSmithKline's bestselling drug Avandia plunged in 2007, after evidence emerged linking the drug to an increased risk of heart attack and death. These reports sparked a debate over the drug's safety that continues to this day. In an analysis of more than 200 studies, articles, editorials and letters published in scientific journals since 2007, Mayo Clinic researchers have concluded that financial conflict of interest continues to play a major role in that debate. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com BP Oil Spill Cleanup Workers Getting Sick Part 2 - Democracy NOW! - Video http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/harmful_products/news.php?q=1280419891 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com BP Oil Spill Cleanup Workers Getting Sick Part 1 - Democracy NOW! - Video http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/harmful_products/news.php?q=1280419836 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com 1,500 oil cleanup workers sickened says BP's lead doctor in Gulf http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/harmful_products/news.php?q=1280207984 Shark?

It is produced by Nalco Holding Company which is associated with BP . Corexit 9500, four times more toxic than crude oil, is one of the most poisonous dispersants ever developed, and is up to 20 times more toxic than other dispersants, and only half as effective.   When Corexit 9500, with its 2.61 ppm toxicity level, is combined with the warm waters of the Gulf much of it will transition into a gaseous state that will be absorbed into clouds, to be released as toxic rain upon all of the Eastern United States text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com Pharmacists give themselves cancer from dispensing toxic chemotherapy chemicals http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/harmful_products/news.php?q=1279261223 (NaturalNews) One of the side effects of chemotherapy is, ironically, cancer. The cancer doctors don't say much about it, but it's printed right on the chemo drug warning labels (in small print, of course). If you go into a cancer treatment clinic with one type of cancer, and you allow yourself to be injected with chemotherapy chemicals, you will often develop a second type of cancer as a result. Your oncologist will often claim to have successfully treated your first cancer even while you develop a second or third cancer directly caused by the chemo used to treat the original cancer. There's nothing like cancer-causing chemotherapy to boost repeat business, huh? During all this, the pharmacists are peddling these toxic chemotherapy chemicals to their customers as if they were medicine (which they aren't). text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com Restaurant sushi tuna loaded with mercury http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/harmful_products/news.php?q=1279261102 (NaturalNews) A new study on sushi has found that higher-end, restaurant-grade tuna sushi often has higher mercury levels than the cheaper tuna sushi found at local supermarkets. Researchers evaluated the DNA of various tuna species and came to the conclusion that varieties like blue fin akami and big eye tuna that typically have firmer flesh and are more visually appealing, are generally higher in mercury than other less expensive varieties. According to the research, which appeared recently in the journal Biology Letters, the reason why higher-grade tuna often has higher mercury levels than other grades is because mercury tends to build up in muscle rather than in fat. This is why species like the blue fin toro, which is a fatty variety of tuna, typically has lower levels of mercury than bluefin akami and bigeye tuna, which are leaner varieties. One exception was yellow fin tuna, which is lean but also low in mercury. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com Soon, You Won't Have A Choice http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/harmful_products/news.php?q=1279132725 The US government's "Green Revolution" is another covert attack on our collective health, wealth, and environment, largely using their mythical peak oil and man-made global warming hoaxes to do so.   The Dairy Queen ice cream cone looking Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) bulbs are a perfect example of this kind of subterfuge.

But according to the National Health Federation: "The CCCF party line, espoused most vocally by the European Union (EU), was to establish an acceptable contamination level for melamine at 1.0 part per million (ppm, equal to 1 milligram per kilogram of food) for infant formulas and 2. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com New research: Electropollution can cause diabetes (type-3) http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/harmful_products/news.php?q=1276539160 (NaturalNews) Most people are familiar with type-1 diabetes and type-2 diabetes, but did you know researchers have discovered a third type of diabetes? Type-3 diabetes, as they are calling it, affects people who are extra sensitive to electrical devices that emit "dirty" electricity. Type-3 diabetics actually experience spikes in blood sugar and an increased heart rate when exposed to electrical pollution ("electropollution") from things like computers, televisions, cordless and mobile phones, and even compact fluorescent light bulbs. Dr. Magda Havas, a PhD from Trent University in Canada, recently published the results of a study she conducted on the relationship between electromagnetic fields and diabetes in Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine. In it, she explains how she and her team came to discover this about why electropollution is so dangerous for many people. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com Letting babies swim in chlorinated pools harms their health for life http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/harmful_products/news.php?q=1276104758 (NaturalNews) Young children who swim in chlorinated pools may suffer an increased risk of lung infections and even lifelong asthma and respiratory allergies, according to a study conducted by researchers from Catholic University Louvain in Brussels, Belgium, and published in the European Respiratory Journal. "This suggests that chlorinated pool attendance can increase the risk of asthma and respiratory allergies by making the airways more sensitive not only to allergens but also to infectious agents," senior researcher Alfred Bernard said. Researchers conducted health tests on 430 Belgian kindergarteners and had their parents fill out questionnaires about their health history and swimming habits. They found that while 36 percent of children who had been exposed to chlorinated pools before the age of two had a history of the lung infection known as bronchiolitis, compared with only 24 percent of children who had not been exposed. Bronchiolitis is a usually viral infection of the small airways of the lungs. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com Why the fluoridation of public water supplies is illegal http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/harmful_products/news.php?q=1275626121 (NaturalNews) Municipalities all across America are currently dripping fluoride chemicals into their public water supply, dosing over a hundred million Americans with a chemical that they claim "prevents cavities." What's interesting here is that this biological effect of "preventing cavities" is a medical claim, according to the FDA. And as such, making this claim instantly and automatically transforms fluoride into a "drug" under currently FDA regulations. This means that cities and towns all across America are now practicing medicine without a license by dripping liquid medication into the public water supply without the consent of those who are swallowing the medication. If you or I did this, we would be arrested and tried as either terrorists (because contaminating the water supply is an act of terrorism) or felons practicing medicine without a license. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com FDA Warns of Fracture Risk with PPIs http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/harmful_products/news.php?q=1275285534 High-Dose or Chronic Use May Increase Risk of Wrist, Hip and Spine Breaks Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) may increase the risk of fractures of the hip, wrist, and spine with high-dose or chronic use, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned Tuesday. Labeling on drugs in this class -- both prescription and over-the-counter -- will change to reflect this risk, the agency said.

Included in the reports were 30 deaths, nearly all of which were found to not be tied to McNeil's recall of Tylenol, Motrin and Benadryl drugs from Jan. 1, 2008 through April 30, 2010, according to another source close to the investigation.   The FDA is also investigating reports of several hundred serious side effects -- or "adverse events" -- and seven deaths since May 1, when McNeil recalled 50 children's versions of these non-prescription medicines because of serious quality and safety concer The FDA's investigation into the recalls is ongoing and the agency would not comment on the matter. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com If ultrasound destroys sperm, why is it safe for fetus? http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/harmful_products/news.php?q=1274850328 (NaturalNews) Ultrasound is extremely damaging to the health of any unborn child (fetus). The natural health community has been warning about ultrasound for years, but mainstream medicine, which consistently fails to recognize the harm it causes, insists ultrasound is perfectly safe and can't possibly harm the health of a fetus. Now, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is funding a project that aims to temporarily sterilize men by blasting their scrotums with ultrasound. The burst of ultrasound energy, it turns out, disrupts the normal biological function of the testes, making the man infertile for six months. Ultrasound, in other words, contains enough energy to temporarily deaden the testes and basically destroy sperm function for half a year. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com The best, and worst, laundry detergents with 1,4-dioxane contamination http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/harmful_products/news.php?q=1274812664 text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com Heavy Metals Poisoning, Brain Injury, & Clandestine Weather Modification Programs Connecting The Dots - Part 1 http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/harmful_products/news.php?q=1274805482 "the thousands natural shocks that flesh is heir to." - Hamlet   For decades, we have known that heavy metals and chemicals can cause grave physical harm.

Animals supplemented with chokeberry juice, a rich source of anthocyanins, experienced less weight gain than non-supplemented animals and had lower levels of fat—abdominal in particular—according to findings presented by the U.S. Department of Agriculture at the Experimental Biology 2010 meeting in Anaheim, CA. The researchers noted that human studies are needed to support the efficacy of chokeberries and their extracts, but the USDA’s Bolin Qin and Richard Anderson said their study "provides evidence that the chokeberry extract inhibits weight gain in insulin-resistant animals and that it modulates multiple genes associated with adipose tissue growth, blood glucose regulation and inflammatory pathways. text/html 1970-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 http://www.fourwinds10.com Teen girls bribed to get Gardasil vaccine with shopping vouchers http://www.fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/health/harmful_products/news.php?q=1272735235 (NaturalNews) The British National Health Service (NHS) has begun bribing teenage girls between the ages of 16 and 18 to get Gardasil vaccines. Officials are giving shopping vouchers worth the equivalent of roughly $70 to girls who agree to get jabbed with the vaccine, which has been implicated in numerous cases of severe harm and death. Officials from NHS Birmingham East and North have initiated the pilot program which is costing taxpayers the equivalent of about $35,000. No parental consent is required in order for young girls to participate in the program. Many governments around the world have been pushing Gardasil through national campaigns designed to scare and entice women into getting the vaccine.
