Resultados perturbadores de la prueba de toxina en niños estadounidenses y muestras de alimentos

Impacto sorprendente para consumidores sin gluten, veganos, vegetarianos y orgánicos

PARA PUBLICACIÓN INMEDIATA:

mayo 5, 2017 Mission Viejo, CA- Mamás en toda América releases their report on their recent findings of toxins in 36 American children, tested at Great Plains Lab, along with results from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency(CFIA). The results are disturbing and have an important message for Gluten Free, Vegan and Vegetarian American consumers and food manufacturers.

 “100% de todos los niños dieron positivo para toxinas graves. 79% de los niños evaluados tenían TDAH o síntomas de autismo, 21% no. Más del 50% probó niveles positivos de 3 X más altos que el promedio. Esperábamos que los niños que comieron orgánicos tuvieran niveles más bajos de toxinas que los niños que no lo hicieron. Este no fue el caso para la mayoría de los niños. Tras el lanzamiento de los datos de glifosato de CFIA, nos dimos cuenta de por qué, y esperamos que los consumidores y los fabricantes de alimentos tomen nota de estos importantes hallazgos. ”- Zen Honeycutt de Moms Across America.

Honeycutt se centró principalmente en el glifosato porque los científicos informan que el glifosato aumenta el impacto nocivo de otras toxinas ambientales, lo que hace que la presencia de los otros productos químicos 166 analizados sea aún más perjudicial.

The CFIA glyphosate testing data, compiled in the book “Poisoned Foods of North America” by Tony Mitra, showed that non-organic gluten free foods and non-organic foods which largely make up vegan and vegetarian foods such as wheat, garbanzo, white and black beans were very high in glyphosate, the world’s most widely used herbicide, up to 12,699 ppb. Health conscious parents who try to feed their children organic are much more likely to feed their children gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian foods whether or not they are also organic, thus unintentionally poisoning their children with higher levels of glyphosate. This shows that health-conscious consumers who are eating gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian foods must be sure those foods are also organic in order to avoid this toxic herbicide.

However, some foods are contaminated whether they are organic or not. Particularly alarming was the finding that even organic garbanzo beans, organic chickpeas, and some organic lentils were highly contaminated with glyphosate. These foods should be avoided completely from North America if one wants to avoid consuming glyphosate herbicides. 

Claims that glyphosate-based herbicides are safe are widely believed, as Roundup and other GBH brands have been used for 40 years. In the past ten years, there has been a significant increase of the use of glyphosate directly on nonorganic food as a drying agent in addition to GMO crops. Honeycutt and her organization assert this is unsafe, and a major contributing factor to the skyrocketing childhood illnesses in America today.

“Proponents of GMO and chemical farming claim glyphosate-based herbicides are safe, according to the EPA. But the EPA policy is to require safety studies on one declared active chemical ingredient, not the final formulation of the herbicide. They have admitted to not having any long-term animal studies on the final formulation of Roundup. Therefore, any claims that Roundup and glyphosate-based herbicides (GBH) are safe are completely unfounded. We call on farmers to stop using harmful chemicals on all of our food and feed crops immediately. We must reduce the toxic burden on our children and protect the future of our country, “ says Honeycutt.
