FDA Finally Admits Chicken Meat Contains Cancer-Causing Arsenic‏

After years of sweeping the issue under the rug and hoping no one would notice, the FDA has now finally admitted that chicken meat sold in the USA contains arsenic, a cancer-causing toxic chemical that’s fatal in high doses. But the real story is where this arsenic comes from: It’s added to the chicken feed purposely!



Even worse, the FDA says its own research shows that the arsenic added to the chicken feed ends up in the chicken meat where it is consumed by humans. So for the last sixty years, American consumers who eat conventional chicken have been consuming arsenic, a known cancer-causing chemical.



Until this new study, both the poultry industry and the FDA denied that arsenic fed to chickens ended up in their meat. The fairy-tale excuse story we’ve all been fed for sixty years is that “the arsenic is excreted in the chicken feces.” There’s no scientific basis for making such a claim, it’s simply what the poultry industry wanted everybody to believe.



Now the evidence is so undeniable that the manufacturer of the chicken feed product known as Roxarsone has decided to pull the product off the shelves. Interestingly enough, the manufacturer that has been putting arsenic in the chicken feed for all these years is Pfizer — the very same company that makes vaccines containing chemical adjuvants that are injected into children.



Technically, the company making the Roxarsone chicken feed is a subsidiary of Pfizer, called Alpharma LLC. Even though Alpharma now has agreed to pull this toxic feed chemical off the shelves in the United States, it says it won’t necessarily remove it from feed products in other countries unless it is forced by regulators to do so. As reported by AP:

“Scott Brown of Pfizer Animal Health’s Veterinary Medicine Research and Development division said the company also sells the ingredient in about a dozen other countries. He said Pfizer is reaching out to regulatory authorities in those countries and will decide whether to sell it on an individual basis.”

Wait... what

So for 60 years everyone was lied too and now we've been consuming this crap for all this time?!
The thing is, this article doesn't surprise me, there's been so much lately about the rubbish they pump into our food, I just wish they'd stop. Making a meal shouldn't be a worry

As Paracelsus reminded us 500 years ago, its all about the dose.

So the questions have to be asked:
1. What is a dangerous level of arsenic?
2. What is the level of arsenic in the chicken meat?

Without these two numbers, the article is meaningless.

So, please inform us.

The medical and psychology industries, both in bed with pharmaceutical companies cannot make money if people aren't sick in body or mind. So what if you get a little sick, or did actually experience that crazy story your telling! They got a medicine for all that you know....

Or we could flip it and spin it this way. Humans are breeding like rabbits, over-populating, living a half decade longer... Something has to be done!

Or, how bout' this spin... By releasing that sort of statement (fda) could just be one more thing to add to the list of things that should incite the public to revolt. Then, the military industrial complex can swoop in and declare martial law and start separating the wheat from the chaff.

There is so many different reasons this could be justified and happening you know. After all, our entire technological world was built up off of scientist who embraced communist/socialist ideals. It's a crazy, complicated, messed up world - when you look at it on a whole. So enjoy your family, interests, and passions now. Joy only comes in little increments, otherwise, life is hard. It's suppose to be... I think... At least, that is what they tell me...

I just watched the movie The Bay too. .. I'd become a vegitarian , but then fruits and veggies are filled with steroids and pesticides to, and who can afford organic in this economy? Rich people, I guess.. Grow a garden, raise our own livestock... Maybe the Bible is on to something, and the meek will inherent the earth? You know, those people who grow there own food, don't go to the doctors for every sniffle, choose not to follow the herd or hoards of consumers.

As the old saying goes, if you want something done, you've got to do it yourself.
So... HERE is the link to the scary chicken/arsenic study that we all need to cower in fear over.


Summary:
Various chickens were tested in 2010 and 2011.

Conventional chicken meat had 1.8 μg/kg
Conventional, but antibiotic free, was 0.7 μg/kg
Chicken, as certified *organic* had 0.6 μg/kg

They conclude:

Assuming lifetime exposure ... this increase in arsenic exposure could result in 3.7 additional lifetime bladder and lung cancer cases per 100,000 exposed persons.

Suggestion:
Withdraw from sale the antibiotic that has the arsenic in it.

The FDA said "fair enough."

The drug company says "yeah, we already pulled it from sale back in 2011, dont even make it anymore."

The arsenic that is excreted by the chickens is dangerous as well, it converts easily to inorganic arsenic which is much more dangerous and water soluble thus it can be picked up by anything, plants, fish, your tap water...

Also its not only chicken, there is rice as well as water and probably more.

It doesn't matter how much they put, it's arsenic. That means poison.

Firing Squad:

every Pfizer CEO.. for the last 60 years.. all their wealth reclaimed. even what their heirs got, and all their heirs made off of it.

every chicken farmer that, as a lame sheeple, fed it to livestock should lose their farms. they obviously don't have adequate due diligence.

every single person who participates, even unknowingly should pay a life ruining cost!!

then, maybe people will find their integrity
