Got lead? So the Kraftaholes find ways to add lead to snack stuff made out of turkey, cheez, pepperoni, crackers and probly more. The first question has to be where do they get the lead and how do they add it to food that would not, by itself, have anything to do with lead. I could understand shooting a wild turkey with some lead birdshot and maybe getting one in a tooth while eating it. (been there, done that, I was always the one who found the shot eating game) but that’s not how Kraft sources turkeys. And they sure don’t use shotshells to make cheez?
The worst thing about lead, as with ionizing radiation, it doesn’t wash away. It accumulates with age and eating and will eventually do neurological damage.
It would be instructive if all the genius parties to the problem would try to explain how the PB gets into the snacks? And, oh, yeah, why don’t they keep it out?
“Alzheimers” is induced in animals through lead exposure. Almost everything we’ve heard about Alzheimers is actually really about lead poisoning.
The medical community will only ever do anything about heavy metal exposure when the metals are in the blood - which is a time window of a few hours at most, since the body naturally filters toxins out of the blood very quickly. High doses of lead don’t usually cause any critical symptoms that would lead a person to go to the ER to be treated so unless there is some kind of environmental catastrophe that draws attention to the issue lead exposure will very, very seldom ever be treated.
I was told by a former Spec Ops guy here on FR that black ops can give a person Alzheimers. It was a very timely issue for me then so I looked it up: environmental amounts of cadmium and arsenic, combined with higher doses of lead cause the exact same measurable results as Alzheimers. The lead causes the amyloid buildup (by reducing the body’s ability to handle the amyloid that everybody’s body produces) and arsenic and cadmium cause the Tau protein “tangles”. By combining those poisons lab mice can very, very quickly get severe “Alzheimers”.
The only way this poisoning by black ops would ever even be suspected is by doing chelation testing. But even if chelation testing shows the presence of those poisons, the medical community will always look at the amyloid beta and Tau and call it Alzheimers.
IOW, the black hats have a sure way to get away with murder.
And the tests showing heavy metals in foods gives all the more plausible deniability.
My daughter is working on her PhD. It was just a few years ago when she read up on a story for a current events assignment in high school and she was so incensed she cried all day; I spent quite a bit of time listening, crying, and praying with her. The study she reported on found that longitudinal studies showed that the medical community was mistaken (lying?) when they claimed that lead poisoning doesn’t continue to do damage once it is out of the bloodstream and into the bone.
It probably hit her especially hard at the time because both she and her dad had been found to have elevated lead levels and she was watching her dad lose his ability to function due to Posterior Cortical Atrophy, labelled as possibly through an “Alzheimers type process” after Mayo Clinic totally ignored the lead, cadmium, and arsenic found in his body by more thorough diagnostic testing that Mayo refused to do. The neurological symptoms first started appearing in my daughter and husband 6 weeks after an anonymous poster from the UK who claimed to have unlimited resources said my husband would have to lose his job if I didn’t stop the research I was doing into government corruption at the time.
The experience with Mayo Clinic forced me to realize that we will never come up with even basic understanding about Alzheimers until we come to terms with the poisons we’re being exposed to - a lot of them through attempted murder by our own government, I suspect. And I realized that the FDA, pharma industry, researchers, and medical facilities like Mayo are one big incestuous mess. My daughter is in the first year of her doctorate program but has already realized that she no longer wants to do medical research because it’s all a big political race for funding.
It’s probably either “normal” (for the locale where the primary ingredients are sourced) background levels of lead or elevated to some extent being near/downwind from a local freeway with a decent traffic load dating back to the era of Tetra Ethyl Lead (TEL) in gasoline. Once the amount in a plant or animal begins to bioaccumulate at a rate higher than the rate it is flushed from the given system it begins to increase.
The key take would be does a given source provide enough ingestible and bioavailable lead to begin accumulating? If you ingest a pellet from that shot infested turkey you’re probably not going to notice it in a subsequent blood test from that one time occurance because the bioavailability of it is going to be predominantly associated with the oxidized surface of the pellet and a very small amount amenable to dissolving during it’s brief exposure to stomach acid. The bulk of it (say ~99.9XX%) is just going to get pooped out.
A large percentage of my geo-career has been spent sampling for hazardous materials in stuff (mostly soils and water) and a LOT of that was for lead as aerially deposited lead alongside roadways. I have worked with soil that has had thousands of parts per million (ppm) lead in it and never “popped” high on my annual physical blood tests.
There is a rate at which you process it out, and you have to ingest at a higher rate to begin the process of accumulating it. I knew a couple guys back in my early days who related to me their transporting of “bad batch” TEL for dumping (thank god it reacts relatively fast to insoluble) and they would exceed the limits fairly quickly and be “pulled off that detail” for several months to get their levels back below limits and they wore hefty protective gear (suit and full face respirator). TEL is horrid stuff, there was a big stink over it’s original creation and use that got mostly relegated to the memory hole, but it killed the hell out of the original workers with it, and a large number of competent people raised hell that it would cause lead poisoning everywhere (and they were right). Industry and politicians you know... TEL is hatefully mobile too, if you spilled it on yourself you had instant lead poisoning. I have called BS on samples I have submitted coming back unusually high for lead and the laboratory upon investigation discovered that my samples had (along with others) been stored in a refrigerator along with samples submitted that contained TEL which cross contaminated everything.
Oh, and lead “fouled” engines too, leading to Ethylene Dibromide and 1,2 Dichloroethane (EDB, DCA) being added to gas to get the lead to form halides on combustion and be exhausted out instead of dropping out as oxides on components. They weren’t happy chemicals either...
