“Tobacco smoking was associated with a twofold increased risk of active
tuberculosis in a representative cohort of Taiwan’s population,” the study
authors write. “The finding that smoking increases the risk of tuberculosis
suggests that tobacco control be considered as an important component in the
global effort to eliminate tuberculosis.”
the most dangerous and expensive waste product in
the production of aluminum is fluoride. Because it is corrosive and toxic,
it was extremely expensive to dispose of safely and was costing Alcoa
millions of dollars in lost profits every year. By finding a
“benefit” in this toxic byproduct, the industry was able to not only save money,
but actually make money from their toxic waste! …
if British and Irish processed foods from fluoridated areas cannot be exported
to the EC, this prohibition must also apply to the importing of such products
into EC member states from any other country that practices water fluoridation …
Agricultural GM companies and evaluation committees systematically overlook the
side effects of GMOs and pesticides. This is clearly illustrated by the EFSA and
the US FDA, which evaluated the controversial GM maize varieties MON 863 and MON
810 …
Anyone who believes Monsanto’s proclamations of saving the world from
environmental catastrophe and hunger by way of increased yields is clearly not
paying attention to some very blatant signs that this is not true. …
There is more than a casual association between GM foods and adverse health
effects. There is causation as defined by Hill’s Criteria in the areas of
strength of association, consistency, specificity, biological gradient, and
biological plausibility.5 The strength of association and consistency
between GM foods and disease is confirmed in several animal studies. …
“Multiple animal studies have shown that GM foods cause damage to various organ
systems in the body. With this mounting evidence, it is imperative to have a
moratorium on GM foods for the safety of our patients’ and the public’s health …

“There is more than a casual association between GM foods and adverse health
effects. There is causation,” as defined by recognized scientific criteria.
“The strength of association and consistency between GM foods and disease is
confirmed in several animal studies.” …
In this study, a team of researchers led by Dr. David Threadgill of North
Carolina State University utilized mouse genetics to aid the search for
candidate genes linked to acetaminophen-induced liver injury in humans. “We
approached the study from the perspective that drugs are used in very
heterogeneous patient populations, and that drug-induced toxicities are likely
the result of a person’s genetic makeup,” …
