POSSIBLE CANCER CAUSER FOUND ACROSS FOOD PYRAMID, SCIENTISTS FEAR

BELTSVILLE, Md. - A possibly cancer-causing substance appears not only in popular fast foods, but in everyday, nutritious staples, too, government scientists say.

Acrylamide, a substance that at very high doses causes cancer in animals, made headlines last spring when Swedish scientists discovered it lurking in popular foods like french fries and chips.

High-carbohydrate foods cooked at very high temperatures seem to contain far more acrylamide than other foods.

But products with lower levels that are eaten more frequently than junk- food snacks - from vitamin-packed breakfast cereal to toast and coffee - increase the U.S. population's overall exposure, the Food and Drug Administration said Monday.

VERY HIGH DOSES....Famous key words.

Don'tcha know it, bro.

The evil Republicans are ignoring lethal Dihydrogen monoxide

Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there. Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. For those who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death.

Dihydrogen monoxide:

• is also known as hydroxl acid, and is the major component of acid rain.
• contributes to the "greenhouse effect."
• may cause severe burns.
• contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
• accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
• may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.
• has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.

Contamination Is Reaching Epidemic Proportion - Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in almost every stream, lake, and reservoir in America today. But the pollution is global, and the contaminant has even been found in Antarctic ice. DHMO has caused millions of dollars of property damage.

Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:

• as an industrial solvent and coolant.
• in nuclear power plants.
• in the production of styrofoam.
• as a fire retardant.
• in many forms of cruel animal research.
• in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical.
• as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products.

Companies dump waste DHMO into rivers and the ocean, and nothing can be done to stop them because this practice is still legal. The impact on wildlife is extreme, and we cannot afford to ignore it any longer!

The American government has refused to ban the production, distribution, or use of this damaging chemical due to its "importance to the economic health of this nation." In fact, the navy and other military organizations are conducting experiments with DHMO, and designing multi-billion dollar devices to control and utilize it during warfare situations. Hundreds of military research facilities receive tons of it through a highly sophisticated underground distribution network. Many store large quantities for later use.

Act NOW to prevent further contamination. Find out more about this dangerous chemical. What you don't know can hurt you and others throughout the world.

Like they say "the poison is in the dose".
Even the most innocuous substances can kill in large doses, Google up hyponatremia.

I was at a bar Saturday night and the bastard barkeep tried to put some of this crap in my Scotch!

That stuff is everywhere! I protect myself my wearing a plastic garbage bag and, of course, my Tinfoil Hat.

I hope you seal it tight with duck tape. ;^)

I recall reading a recent BBC News article that essentially said the acrylimide scare was just that.
A scare.
At this rate, the medical craze community will have us all poisoning ourselves with bran muffins again.

Stop the madness!!!

That terrible Di-Hydrogen Monoxide...it's awful! [/sarcasm]

[PGalt]

March madness!

The two most powerful carcinogens known to science are:

1. oxygen,
2. sunlight.

Obviously, as Thomas Sowell has suggested, we should all move deep underground and hold our breaths.

I've been hinting to my 11 year old that he should do his science fair project on just that subject . . . . we'll see!

[Fresh Wind]

It's not too bad if you dilute it with a lot of water, though.

[Lil'freeper]

LOL- I love that gag. I used it- petition and all- as an introduction to naming compounds back when I was teaching chemistry. Brilliant exercise in the necessity and utility of scientific literacy.

A WWW/JUNKSCIENCE.COM ARTICLE REPORTED THAT YOUR WOULD HAVE TO EAT 24,000 BAGS OF POTATOE CHIPS FOR THE REST OF A NORMAL LIFE SPAN TO GET THE AMOUNT A ACRYLAMIDE THAT THE RATS OR MICE GOT IN THE TESTS THAT STARTED THIS SCAM.

[ThinkingMan]

gee- guess I better quit eating.

[HighRoadToChina]

BUMP!

Oh oh, only 22,786 left to go. I'm getting scared now. OOOOOO!!

Ah, brings to mind George Carlin's old routine:

"This just in from the A.M.A....... Saliva has been found to be linked to stomach cancer.....but only if swallowed in small amounts over a long period of time".
