It's odd what they raise a fuss about and largely do not. Since the deregulation of the food industry to extreme in the early 1990s, we've seen unprecedented food recalls previously unknown since the establishing of those regulations earlier in century. And now? Consumer Reports issued the results of a study in 2024 that damns our food for the unforeseen future.
Due to microplastics having become pervasive throughout the entire food chain, 99% of all food in the U.S., is now contaminated, this includes many organics. These microplastics have been found in cadavers, and even having crossed the blood brain barrier. Scientists have found we're all walking about with roughly 1 tsp of the stuff just within our brains. The higher the fat content of the food, the likelihood the higher the presence, due to leaching from packaging.
This is the cause of the massive rise in hormonal disruptive conditions, neurological disorders, and various cancers just to name a few conditions. And unlike the rest of the western world who have all increased in longevity, the U.S., has for the first time since tracking, has lost years. We are now living into the late 60s and early 70s, while the EU has gone up into the early 80s, and parts of Asia, into the mid to late 80s. That and Americans begin to experience the onset of age related conditions as early as twenty five years before death, while they, only five. And our media is not reporting this but doing the opposite. So, even if you decide to eat a Mediterranean diet, it won't matter. You're still eating food largely produced here and in nations where food regulations are weak, and thus the contaminates abound.
Sadly, since these plastics are now throughout the entire food chain, from the water, the land, being ingested by animals and within plant life, there is no way to eradicate it and no amount of money can do so. We're stuck with it. But hey! At least our corporations are making record profits due to all that deregulation! We should be so very happy and proud, making the ultimate sacrifice for our wealthy and their companies! ;)
No, I remember quite well: Mercurochrome was soothing when applied to a wound, Merthiolate was the one that burned like lava when applied to a wound.
