Oh. What Dr. Suess Would have said about cancer:
Cancer here.. Cancer there.. Cancer Cancer, Everywhere!!
That is really all that enters my mind - when I started educating myself on things that can cause or have been linked to cancer. Let's face it: everything. Im no medical doctor, I have had little to no college- But I've had cancer. That should count for a certain amount of knowledge on the subject. Even if I was a complete nimrod I would know that if I continued to live the same life that I was leading before cancer ie: diet, excercise, lifestyle, occupation, stress etc. etc. That I would 'contract' cancer again. You don't think so? Then do not read the rest of this. You are a complete idiot if you think that cancer has nothing to do with all of those things. Of course I believe genes have something to do with it- but not everything.
Nutrition for one thing. What are we eating as a soceity? We have been brainwashed into paying more for 'organic' foods. Up until about 30 years ago - Organic was just.. Natural. Everything used to be grown naturally. Now you're dealing with herbicides, pesticides, preservatives, hormones, antibiotics, & steroids. To make an extra buck- Companies have been putting pure poison into your food. To get more from their production- or to keep them on the shelves longer. And for the chemicals used - even the ones that have been banned by the USDA - We import fruits, veggies and all kinds of other nonsense from other countries that do not have any regulations for these chemicals. We are eating poison daily. You don't believe me- thats ok.
Bon Apetite.
Population control at its best.
Onto WATER. Do you buy bottled or drink tap? What is better for you? What do you think? We are told here on Long Island that our water supply is the best in the nation. Then why does it smell like Chlorine? The smell fades after turning on my little handy brita filter- But WTF?! Don't lie to me. Another industry created from something that should be free. Filter companies, water companies, etc. Just out for that extra buck! They flush water with hundreds.. yes, hundreds!! of chemicals to 'clean it' - And just so you know.. Unless you're drinking steam distilled (which can STILL have chemicals in it) your poland spring water sucks. You just were duped into paying 2.49 a bottle for the same 'Public Water Source' you use to brush your teeth. Most water companies list their water supply as a 'Natural Spring Water' aka You're an Idiot!!
1965-1982 Over 4 million distinct chemical compounds formulated.
At least 250,000 new formulations created annually SINCE THEN!
Approximately 3,000 chemicals are added to our foods
700 Have been found in our drinking water
400 Have been identified in human tissue
(Because they are synthetically made - They can change your DNA)
Over 500 can be found under kitchen sinks or laundry rooms
Over 800 neurotoxic chemical compounds are used in the cosmetic and perfume industries!
*A neurotoxin is a toxin that acts specifically on nerve cells. Toxins ingested through the enviroment are described as exogenous. They can include gases ( ie: carbon monoxide), liquids (ie: mercury), and a endless list of solids. When exogenous toxins are ingested, the effect on neurons is largely dependent on dosage. Which is why FDA regulations are very leinent because it has to be 'in moderation.'
DEA - aka Diethanolamine
Is an ingredient put in soaps, shampoos, and over 600 household cleaning and personal care items!! It is just one of 125 ingredients added to our homecare products that have been known to be 'carcinogenic' aka cancer causing!!
Propylene Glycol also known as: 'propanediol'
is one of the main ingredients in ANTI FREEZE and is among the many ingredients in our shampoos, beauty products, and even some dog foods. It helps retain moisture- and keeps things from drying out. Which is why it is added to beauty products to keep your skin feeling soft and smooth and to dog food to keep it from going stale. WTF?! You dont hear about things like this on the evening news because the FDA is working on 'softer restrictions' which would mean less information on your product. (No to little ingredients listed)
Are you feeling violated yet? Good. 20 years after the surgeon generals warning and people still smoke. So Im assuming this issue wont be much different. There are no tests being done on how these chemicals effect our bodies (in the long run) But cmon.. Add this crap to you daily scarf down of chocolate fat cakes from stop and shop- a quick stop at the local fried fat fast food joint and drink it all down with high frustose corn syruppy aspartamed red #40!!!! Then add severe stress, no excercise, masking all of your bodies red flagged warnings with xanax, pain pills, and even ambien- and you've got yourself a very unhealthy bod.
Cancer rates are climbing and nothing is changing. Forget 'Cancer Awarness'
You need to be AWARE of how to PREVENT CANCER by educating yourself!
