U.S. Government Wants Farmers to Dump Heavy Metals on Fields

http://www.naturalnews.com/027982_heavy_metals_food_crops.htmlOriginally published January 20 2010U.S. Government Wants Farmers to Dump Heavy Metals on Fieldsby Kim Evans, citizen journalist(NaturalNews) Ash leftover from burning coal contains arsenic, mercury, lead and other heavy metals. These days, the U.S. government is encouraging farmers to dump it right on their fields, and effectively, right onto the public's food supply. According to the Wall Street Journal, each year 125 to 130 million tons of ash and sludge are left over from burning coal - which is enough to fill one million railcars. The government is encouraging farmers to dump it on their fields as a way to dispose of the toxic waste.Lead in the body has been linked to brain shrinkage, learning difficulties and violent behavior. According to the University of Massachusetts Amherst, lead stays in soil for hundreds of years and accumulates in green produce.Arsenic is another known poison; it's known to cause cancer, neurological disturbances, and instant death. A lethal dose is about 70 to 200mg.Mercury is widely known to affect the brain and brain development. It's associated with autism and 1 in 110 children are being born with autism-related problems. In the 1950's, only 1 in 5,000 children had autism-related problems.Let's look into the future and see what might happen if the government gets their way. Society at large will become dumber and more violent due to the lead. Cancer rates will increase from the current 40 percent chance you'll have a problem with it. More people will become incapable of contributing to society and a burden to those around them. More people will die of diseases with mysterious causes; many arsenic deaths will likely be blamed on heart attacks. As people become more violent, everyone will be more likely to become a victim. More people will be abused by their spouses - and children by their parents. More jails will be built - adding enormous costs to the nation. People's lives will be stolen because of the toxic effects of substances in their foods on their brains.These poisons damage our genes, so more children will be born sick and damaged. People will be told their diseases are genetic. If they believe it, they'll likely also believe they have no power to change their situation. Many may try "advances" in medicine involving genetic manipulation. If you thought GMO's were bad...There is an upside for pharmaceutical companies and those in Washington who financially benefit from them. More and more drugs will be sold in a nation that four out of five inhabitants already pop at least one prescription pill weekly. These folks will keep getting richer as the entire nation suffers.The government will likely continue spouting the same nonsense about "small amounts of known poisons not hurting anyone," all while neglecting to acknowledge that with time small amounts of poisons build in the body - eventually becoming large amounts that are well known to harm.Much of the medical world will likely continue with the party line about not knowing the causes of disease - and will be utterly incapable of making the direct connection between eating poisons and getting sick. As the population becomes more neurologically damaged from consuming these poisons, they'll have a harder time making the connection too.The dumping of toxic waste onto the food supply is a sham from an administration that purports to care about health. Any government with a real interest in the health of its people should encourage farmers to add organic nutrients and minerals to their depleted soils. It's an obvious contrast to encouraging the addition of known poisons - poisons already indicted in far too many health problems in a nation plagued with chronic disease.More:http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dy...http://online.wsj.com/article/SB126...http://www.healthnews.com/medical-u...http://www.naturalnews.com/023603_b...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arseni...http://www.healing-arts.org/childre...http://www.lenntech.com/periodic/el...------------Kim Evans is a natural health writer and author of Cleaning Up!
