The Falsification of History: Our Distorted Reality (142 page)

The bad news is that conventional water and wastewater treatment methods allow many classes of pharmaceuticals to pass through into our drinking water supplies unchanged and untreated.
 

So, what is the true risk assessment of pharmaceuticals and other similar contaminants in water?
 
Do they present a health threat to any humans, animals (or even plants) being exposed to them?
 
Many scientists are concerned about long-term, chronic and combined exposures to agents designed to cause a physiological effect in humans and believe we should be very concerned about aquatic ecosystems where sperm levels and spawning patterns in aquatic organisms have been clearly altered in environments heavily polluted with a class of hormone-altering pharmaceuticals known as endocrine disrupters.

With a growing and aging population as well as increased reliance on drug treatments and development of new drugs, the problem with pharmaceutical contamination promises only to increase.
 

Since we all drink tap and bottled water routinely, every single day in one form or another would it therefore not be unreasonable to conclude that we are all being systematically ‘poisoned’ on an ongoing basis?
 
Worse still, could any of these substances be cumulative in nature, making the impact on our health and that of our children even more significant?
 
As long as the water corporations continue in denial over this issue, I would suggest that the health of every one of us is at serious long term risk, all through that supposedly most benign of all substances, water.

Many years ago there was a famous story about a man in the USA who accidentally left a McDonald’s hamburger in a jacket pocket for a year and when he finally got around to wearing the jacket again, to his surprise, the burger looked and smelled exactly as it did when first bought, twelve months earlier.
 
This took place in 1990.
 
Since then he has bought a McDonald’s hamburger every year and saved the results.
 
He now has a veritable ‘museum’ of McDonald’s burgers, complete with bread bun, French fries and associated relishes going back over twenty years and has labelled and dated them.
 
Interestingly, none of them have decomposed – at all.
 
From the one bought in 1989 to the one bought in 2010, they still look virtually identical.

How can this be?
 
Why do fast
food
burgers and fries not decompose like ‘normal’ food?
 
The answer is partly that they are treated with so many
chemicals
that even mould and bacteria will not eat them.
 
This is partially true but not the entire explanation.

Many processed
foods
do not decompose and are not consumed by moulds, insects or even rodents.
 
Try leaving an open tub of
margarine
outside in your garden and see if anything bothers to eat it.
 

Potato crisps (chips) can last for decades. Frozen pizzas are remarkably resistant to decomposition and even some highly processed sausages and meats can be kept for years and they will never decompose.

With meats, the primary reason why they do not decompose is their high
sodium
content.
 
Salt is a great preservative, as our ancestors have known for thousands of years.
 
McDonald's
meat
is absolutely loaded with sodium - so much so that it qualifies as ‘preserved’ meat, without even considering the chemicals you might find in it.
 
However, the real question should be ‘why do the bread buns not turn mouldy?’
 
That is the real issue, since normal, healthy bread begins to grow mould within days.
 
What could possibly be in McDonald's hamburger buns that would ward off microscopic life for more than two decades?

Unless you have qualifications in chemistry, you probably cannot even read the ingredients list.
 
McDonalds’ website states that these frankly, scary ingredients are contained in their ‘bread’ buns:

“Enriched flour (bleached
wheat
flour, malted barley flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid,
enzymes
), water, high fructose corn syrup, sugar, yeast,
soybean oil
and/or partially hydrogenated soybean
oil
, contains 2% or less of the following: salt,
calcium
sulphate, calcium carbonate, wheat gluten, ammonium sulphate, ammonium chloride, dough conditioners (sodium stearoyl lactylate, datem, ascorbic acid, azodicarbonamide, mono- and diglycerides, ethoxylated monoglycerides, monocalcium phosphate, enzymes, guar gum, calcium peroxide,
soy
flour), calcium propionate and sodium propionate (preservatives), soy lecithin.”

Our old friend HFCS makes an appearance in there as does sugar, partially-hydrogenated soybean oil (real
heart-disease
inducing fodder) and the long list of chemicals such as ammonium sulphate and sodium proprionate.
 
How appetising!

However, the truly shocking part about all this is...

“In my estimation, the reason nothing will eat a McDonald's hamburger bun (except a human) is because it's not food!
 
No normal animal will perceive a McDonald's hamburger bun as food and as it turns out, neither will bacteria nor fungi.
 
To their senses, it's just not edible stuff.
 
That's why these bionic burger buns just won't decompose.
 
There is only one species on planet Earth that's stupid enough to think a McDonald's hamburger is food.
 
This species is suffering from skyrocketing rates of diabetes, cancer, heart
disease
, dementia and obesity.
 
This species claims to be the most intelligent species on the planet and yet it behaves in such a moronic way that it feeds its own children poisonous chemicals and such atrocious non-foods that even fungi won't eat it (and fungi will eat cow manure, just FYI).”

Do you cook your chicken with dimethylpolysiloxane, an anti-foaming agent made of silicone?
 
How about tertiary butylhydroquinone, a chemical preservative so deadly that just five grams can kill you?

These are just two of the ingredients in a McDonalds Chicken McNugget.
 
Only 50% of a McNugget is actually chicken.
 
The other 50% includes corn derivatives, sugars, leavening agents and completely synthetic ingredients.

The Organic Authority helpfully transcribed the full ingredients list provided by McDonalds:

"White boneless chicken, water, food starch-modified, salt, seasoning (autolyzed yeast extract, salt, wheat starch, natural flavouring (botanical source), safflower oil, dextrose, citric acid, and rosemary), sodium phosphates, seasoning (canola oil, mono- and diglycerides, extractives of rosemary).

Battered and breaded with: water, enriched flour (bleached wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), yellow corn flour, food starch-modified, salt, leavening (baking soda, sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium aluminium phosphate, monocalcium phosphate, calcium lactate), spices, wheat starch, whey, corn starch. Prepared in vegetable oil (Canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil with TBHQ and citric acid added to preserve freshness). Dimethylpolysiloxane added as an antifoaming agent."

Just in case you think I am singling out McDonalds for some unfair treatment here, let me just say that I have no particular ‘axe to grind’ on this issue.
 
I would include burgers and chicken burgers and any other ‘delicious snacks’, not just from McDonalds, but from also, take a bow... Burger King, Wendy’s, Wimpy, Kentucky Fried Chicken et al. (with sincere apologies to any other manufacturer of this vile filth masquerading as nutrition that I have omitted to mention – you know who you are!).

Until we, as a species, stop buying this dreadful garbage, they will continue to poison us and infect us with disease, while we pay them for the privilege.
 
Let us all let them know that we are not prepared to suffer this any longer by boycotting all such establishments.

However, perhaps the biggest danger we face is not from the Elite corporations who seek to abuse our bodies and health in the name of profits, but from an organisation, truly Orwellian in scope which actively seeks to prevent us from gaining access to healthy eating alternatives.
 
Let me introduce you to...

Codex Alimentarius is the United Nations / European Union plan to destroy organic farming and to eradicate the complementary and natural health care industry which is obviously a threat to the health, welfare and profits of Big Food and Big Pharma.

There would appear to be an almost total lack of awareness (or even interest) with regard to the implications of this pernicious global Commission, particularly amongst those most affected by the excesses of this restrictive legislation.
 
In the words of the National Health Federation, the aims and objectives of Codex Alimentarius are to… 

Allow only low-potency supplements that will do nothing positive for one’s health.

Allow all or most foods to be genetically-modified.

Make beneficial supplements unavailable or sold by prescription only.

For many people, this agenda is so outrageous, they cannot believe such goals are achievable; yet this may well very soon be reality, if the Codex Alimentarius Commission continues to disregard input from those who offer a counter perspective to the combined forces of Big Food and Big Pharma.  

For the past five years the European challenge to Codex has been led by Dr. Robert Vererk, Executive Director of the Alliance for Natural Health and Scientific Advisor to the National Health Federation.
 
Yet despite the efforts of the ANH, the NHF and the Dr. Rath Foundation the Codex agenda lumbers ever closer to the EU statute books. 

In April of 2005, the ANH mounted a legal challenge to the Codex Commission; Justice Leendert A Geelhoed, the European Union Advocate General, referred to the arbitrary powers of the Codex-supporting EU legislation as being "about as transparent as a black box".   The subsequent 12th July 2005 ruling of the International Court of Justice in Luxembourg followed the July 4th Rome meeting of Codex when the 85 countries present ratified the restrictive guidelines for dietary supplements.
 
Six days after London was awarded the 2012 Olympics and just five days after the London Bombings, there was little mention of the ICJ ruling in the British media.
