Guest guest Posted November 10, 2000 Report Share Posted November 10, 2000 DDT Pesticides found in Chinese Green Tea. DDT In Your Green Tea? Frances Cerra Whittelsey, In These Times August 8, 2000 Hope Nemiroff thought she was living the healthiest lifestyle possible. After being diagnosed with cancer in 1995 and having a tiny tumor removed from her breast, she had changed her ways. She walked. She went for hypnosis and did yoga to help reduce her stress levels. She switched to a mostly organic, vegetable-based diet. She drank a dozen cups of green tea every day. Determined to learn everything she could about her disease, Nemiroff, now 58, also became president of the Mid-Hudson Breast Health Action Project, an advocacy group in New York. Impressed by her efforts, her oncologist hired her to help with a study of the relationship between DDT and breast cancer. Although she was not a subject of the study, Nemiroff says, " I got curious. I wanted to see what [the blood] of somebody like me would look like who was living a healthy lifestyle. " Her blood, it turned out, contained traces of DDT. And when she later investigated what part of her diet might be contaminated with the pesticide, the answer jolted her. A laboratory analysis found DDT in her green tea. for the full story: http://www.purefood.org/Organic/greentea.cfm -- Free email services provided by http://www.goodkarmacafe.com Powered by Outblaze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
