Guest guest Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 Wow, I have SO MANY issues with the information below. Here are just 3... 1.) Why won't they disclose the name of the company? Doesn't the public have a right to throw out or return food that might be toxic that they currently have in their refrigerators and pantries? 2.) Once again, they tested it on animals and found out all the problems that can occur with them ~ those who won't be eating this food ~ but they have no idea how it affects human beings. WHY OH WHY MUST THEY CONTINUE TO KILL & SICKEN INNOCENT ANIMALS WHEN THEIR TEST RESULTS WON'T MATTER ANYWAY?!?!?! One would think that after knowing the results won't be the same, they wouldn't want to even spend the $$$ on testing, since $$$ is all these companies care about anyway. I just don't get it. 3.) This affects EVERYBODY, despite our diets....yes, even vegans. UGH! Cancer linked toxin found in baby food jars Tests ordered to check the effects of the toxin, semicarbazide, on human health. 31/07/2003 A toxin linked to cancers has been found in the plastic seals on babyfood jars, jams, ketchup and pickles. Urgent tests have been ordered by the European food safety watchdog to check the effects of the toxin, semicarbazide, on human health. It has been linked to cancers, liver damage, miscarriages and birth deformities in animals but little is known about its effects on human health. Scientific experts at the European Food Safety Authority were alerted to the problem after a leading multinational food company detected the toxin in the food packaging as part of routine food sample tests. European and British food authorities are refusing to name the company involved. The toxin was found in ketchup, mayonnaise and baby food last month and food safety authorities in Germany and Switzerland were immediately informed. Other products that may be affected are fruit juices, mustard, honey, sauces and vegetables. Experts are anxious to find out if the toxin can contaminate the food product. They are also checking if the testing procedure produced the toxin. ---------------------- "Uneducated people believe what they are told...

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 It's best to avoid plastics wherever possible...One thing I can't stress enough is that you should never never heat up food in plastic or using plastic spoons for stirring...toxic chemicals, esp. carcinogens are leached out that way into your food...
