Top 20 things that are more dangerous to children than lead paint in Mattel
toys
by Mike Adams
The mainstream media is amusingly irrational when it comes to reporting
scare stories. The latest example involves the lead content of Mattel toys
made in China. The Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a third
recall of Mattel toys involving over 700,000 toys containing unacceptably
high levels of lead paint (over .06 percent lead). Irrational parents are
rushing back to retailers in droves, turning in their Mattel toys to "save
their children" from the dangers of lead paint. Mattel, for its part, is
being rightly blasted in the media for selling shoddy products made with
toxic heavy metals.
But here's the interesting part in all this: Parents directly poison their
children every day with products far more dangerous than Mattel toys. Don't
believe me? I'll name twenty things in this article that are far more
dangerous to children than Mattel toys. It doesn't mean Mattel toys are
safe, of course. They apparently do contain unacceptably high levels of
lead, and there's no question about the toxicity of lead. But children don't
eat toys nearly as often as they eat some other toxic substances given to
them by their parents, and even as parents are herding back into retailers
to refund their toxic lead-laden toys, they're returning home and poisoning
their children with many other products that are far worse.
The press, of course, reports nothing about these other toxic products. And
why? Because they're made in America.
American products poisoning American children
American products, you see, are often given blanket immunity by the U.S.
press. While the media is happy to jump on toxic lead found in Chinese
products, they completely ignore (for example) the toxic mercury that
dentists continue to place into the mouths of young children all across the
country. Why is it considered highly dangerous for a child to merely touch a
toy with .06 percent lead paint while it is considered perfectly safe for a
child to chew on a filling made with 40 percent mercury? Mercury is far more
toxic than lead in many ways, yet the media has nothing to say about the
mass poisoning of children through the outmoded dental work still being
performed on children today. Mercury fillings were invented before the Civil
War, and they're just as toxic now as they were then!
Of course, if dental fillings were made in China, the U.S. press would be
screaming about their toxicity! But since they're installed by crazed U.S.
dentists -- many of whom still manage to seem convincingly sane -- there's
zero coverage in the mainstream media.
Reporting the truth about dangerous chemicals, heavy metals and other
threats to children is extremely selective. The public never hears the real
truth about what's dangerous -- they only hear what the media want them to
think is dangerous!
But I've had it with popular media distortions. Here, I'm going to reveal
the top 20 things that are more dangerous to children than the lead paint in
Mattel toys. Interestingly, most of these are things that parents
intentionally give their children (or feed to them!). If you're worried
about lead paint, you should be far more worried about these 20 things...
The top 20 things that are more dangerous to children than lead paint in
Mattel toys
1. Mercury fillings
Often called "silver fillings" to hide the fact that they're made from
mercury, these highly toxic fillings are placed directly into the mouths of
children where they are inhaled (mercury vapor) and swallowed, causing
systemic mercury poisoning to the child and leading to long-term
neurological damage. Visit www.IAOMT.org (http://www.iaomt.org/) and watch the "Smoking Teeth =
Poison Gas" video to learn more.
2. Vaccines
Think vaccines are safe? You've been hoodwinked by the popular media
parroting drug company propaganda. Vaccines are preserved with methyl
mercury, one of the most dangerous chemical forms of the toxic heavy metal.
This mercury is injected directly into the bodies of children where it
causes severe neurological damage. And yes, it does cause Autism, despite
what you've read in the dumbed-down press. Only a fool would inject their
child with mercury-preserved vaccines.
3. Hot dogs
Hot dogs are made with horrifying processed meat parts (click here to
<http://www.newstarget.com/phototour_mystery_meat_1.html (http://www.newstarget.com/phototour_mystery_meat_1.html)> see shocking
photos of processed meat products, then preserved with a cancer-causing
ingredient called sodium nitrite. As detailed in my book Grocery Warning
<http://www.truthpublishing.com (http://www.truthpublishing.com/)> , this ingredient causes brain tumors in
children, not to mention leukemia, pancreatic cancer, colon cancer and other
cancers. Hot dogs are far more dangerous to a child's health than lead paint
in my opinion, and yet parents keep feeding them to their children!
4. Antibacterial soap
How about a little nerve toxin in your soap? That's what's found in
antibacterial soap. It's a toxic cocktail of chemicals designed to kill
life. That's how it kills bacteria. The problem is that it also harms people
-- especially infants and children who are trying to develop healthy nervous
systems. Avoid all products claiming to be "antibacterial." You're better
off using natural soap (like Dr. Bronner's soap, www.DrBronner.com ) and
letting your child's immune system fight off common bacteria. The world
isn't sterile, after all. You can't turn your house into a germ-free bubble.
5. ADHD drugs
Would you give your child street drugs like speed or meth? Probably not, but
what if your doctor wrote you a prescription for speed and said your child
needed it because he was ADHD? If you're like most parents, you'd fall in
step and start giving your child speed. But wait, you say: ADHD drugs are
not speed, are they? But of course they are. They belong to a class of drugs
called amphetamines. They used to be illegally sold as speed. Now they're
prescription drugs, and they're given to children in schools all across
America (and elsewhere). Psychiatrists and drug companies are making a
killing dosing up kids and infants on substances that used to be considered
illegal street drugs (and that have no legitimate medical use whatsoever).
6. Sports drinks
For some reason, parents irrationally believe sports drinks are healthy
because they contain the word "sports." Didn't they notice the neon green
artificial coloring? Sports drinks are, in my opinion, a nutritional joke.
Made from salt water, processed sweeteners and petrochemical coloring, many
of their ingredients are actually harmful. Drinking water would be smarter,
and feeding your child some healthy trace minerals would be even better. Low
on potassium? Eat a banana.
7. Cough syrup and over-the-counter medicines
Nearly all children's over-the-counter medicines contain multiple toxic
substances such as chemical sweeteners, preservatives and additives. Cough
syrup, in particular, has been scientifically proven to be absolutely
worthless in preventing coughs. Many "children's" medicines are actually
more toxic than their adult counterparts because they're sweetened up and
cosmetically enhanced with artificial colors made from petrochemicals. Yet
parents poison their children every day with over-the-counter medicine.
8. Sunscreen
The sunscreen industry is a huge scam. Most popular sunscreen products
actually cause skin cancer due to the numerous toxic chemicals they contain
(which are quickly absorbed into the skin where they cause DNA mutations
that lead to cancer). Even worse, sunscreen blocks the UV radiation that
allows the skin to manufacture all-important vitamin D -- the most powerful
anti-cancer nutrient yet known to modern science. It prevents over a dozen
different cancers, yet parents block it by slathering toxic sunscreen on
their children, all while mistakenly believing they're "protecting their
children from cancer!" What a scam.
9. Fluoride in the water
I've always found it amazing that city water officials were dumb enough to
actually buy a toxic waste substance and arrange to have it dripped into the
public water supply where it would be ingested by infants and children. The
result? Mass fluorosis and toxicity to children everywhere. Didn't these
people realize that fluoride only works topically? (That is, it only works
if you rub it on your teeth, then spit it out, and even that only works if
you're using natural fluoride, not the chemicals spit out as byproducts of
the fertilizer industry, which is what city water departments are buying and
dripping into the water supply.) Click here to see my CounterThink
<http://www.newstarget.com/021115.html (http://www.newstarget.com/021115.html)> cartoon on this topic.
Whoever heard of drinking a topical medication in the first place? It's like
swallowing sunscreen to prevent sunburn. Even worse, putting this into the
public water supply effectively mass medicates everyone with a bioactive
chemical substance that no one has been given a prescription for. This is
all done with no regard for the level of natural fluoride children might
already be ingesting from other sources. The situation is so crazy that it's
difficult to find a more insane example of medical tyranny than the mass
fluoridation of public water supplies. The fact that doctors and dentists so
vehemently support it demonstrates just how crazy they really are.
10. Processed milk
Children as young as 10 years old are now being diagnosed with heart disease
and clogged arteries. Ever wonder how it happened? It's due in part, I
believe, to all the processed milk children are swallowing these days. Not
only is the milk contaminated with pus, blood and detectable levels of
pesticides and other chemicals, it's also homogenized, meaning the fats are
artificially modified in a way that makes them stay in suspension. This
homogenization also makes milk fats dangerous to cardiovascular health.
While I support the consumption of raw, unprocessed milk, I think that
consuming processed, homogenized milk is dangerous to the health of infants,
children and adults alike!
11. Fast food
Fast food is extremely unhealthy for children. Not only are the foods often
fried, homogenized, hydrogenated and otherwise altered, they're also laced
with chemical additives, taste enhancers, processed sugars, petrochemical
food coloring and other unhealthy substances. Strangely, many parents
actually reward their children for good behavior by buying them unhealthy
fast food meals, thereby creating a psychological association between good
feelings and junk food. (Fast food restaurants further exploit this
psychological link by building playgrounds and running feel-good
advertisements that emphasize friends and fun, then link those good vibes to
their food products.)
12. Antidepressant drugs
Children as young as six months old are now being put on psychotropic drugs
such as SSRIs (antidepressants). These drugs, we now know, cause suicidal
thoughts and violent behavior, especially in young boys. They imbalance
brain chemistry and even alter the body's metabolism of sugar, promoting
diabetes and leading to rapid weight gain. These drugs are so dangerous that
feeding them to children should be considered a crime. Every single school
shooting involving a child in the United States in the last 15 years has
been linked to antidepressant drug use. Need I say more?
13. Chemical laundry detergents
Parents are shown fancy ads on television depicting how wonderful and clean
their clothes will be if they wash them in brand-name laundry detergent.
What they're not shown, however, is the toxicity of all the synthetic
chemicals that go into most laundry detergent products. The fragrance
chemicals alone are often carcinogenic, and they're just as bad for the
environment as they are children's health. A new alternative has appeared,
however: Soap berries! It's laundry soap that grows on trees. We offer it at
www.BetterLifeGoods.com
14. Flame retardant chemicals
Did you know that new mattresses for infants and children are often sprayed
with extremely toxic flame retardant chemicals? These are easily absorbed
through the skin of infants and children where they contribute to numerous
neurological disorders and immune suppression. Many clothing products are
also sprayed with flame retardants, as are some carpeting products. In the
push to make everything fireproof, state regulators (who have mandated the
flame retardant chemicals in states like California) have created a toxic
environment for everyone. I suppose if you're a politician, it's always
better for a million people to die of a mysterious disease that can't be
linked to you than to have one baby burning up on the evening news with
fingers of blame pointed directly at you.
15. Soda
Aside from directly promoting diabetes and obesity, sodas also contain high
amounts of phosphoric acid, a substance that dissolves bones and causes a
loss of bone mineral density. This causes massive tooth decay as well as a
shrinking jaw bone and overall skeletal fragility. Diet sodas are even
worse, since they contain chemical sweeteners linked to neurological
disorders and learning disabilities.
16. Air fresheners
Air fresheners contain cancer-causing chemicals. Unleashing them in the
house exposes children to these chemicals, promoting asthma and other
respiratory problems. If you value the health of your children, avoid air
freshener products and just use essential oils or citrus peels instead.
(Peel an orange and hang the peel in your kitchen.)
17. Synthetic vitamins
Many children's vitamins are made with cheap, synthetic "vitamin" chemicals
that actually harm people who take them. Plus, many are loaded up with
artificial colors, sucrose and chemical sweeteners. Avoid cheap,
store-bought children's vitamins or anything containing cyanocobalamin (a
toxic form of vitamin B12). Quality children's vitamins are available
through sources like Nordic Naturals (fish oils) and
www.IntegratedHealth.com (also check www.WellnessResources.com for
high-quality supplements).
18. Dryer sheets
Most popular dryer sheets and fabric softeners are made with toxic synthetic
chemicals that are not safe to use on children's clothing. The fragrance
chemicals alone are often highly carcinogenic, and the other chemicals
contribute additional toxicity to the clothing. Children's clothes should
never be washed or dried in chemicals. Only use natural detergents and
fabric softeners, or avoid the fabric softeners altogether.
19. Bacon
Most bacon and sausage are processed meat products made with sodium nitrite
(like the hot dogs, above) and contaminated with various chemicals lodged in
the animal fats. Conventionally-raised beef, pork and chicken products are,
in my opinion, extremely toxic to the human body and contribute to colon
cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer and many other diseases and
disorders. If you make meat for your children, shop for 100% organic,
free-range, antibiotic-free meats that have no nitrites or nitrates.
20. Shampoo and bath products
Virtually all popular shampoo and bath products sold on the market contain
cancer-causing chemicals. The ingredients read like a top-40 list of toxic
chemicals. Virtually none of these chemicals have ever been tested or
approved for use on humans (they are simply ignored because the FDA
astonishingly believes the skin won't absorb chemicals). If you want healthy
products, use the shampoo I recommend: Pure Essentials Fragrance-Free
Shampoo from Earth Science (www.TheNewES.com)
Keeping your health priorities straight
So that's the list of 20 items that are more dangerous to the health of
children than the lead paint in Mattel toys. Most parents have no concern
whatsoever for any of these 20 things, but they're going ape-shoot-crazy
over the tiny amounts of lead in their Barbie toys and Elmo stuffed animals.
It all just goes to show you that the sheeple will think anything the
mainstream media tells them to think (and they'll ignore everything else).
It's classic American contradiction: Returning a Mattel toy at the local toy
store while taking your child to a dentist to have mercury implanted in the
cavities caused by all the soda the kid consumed at home (because the
parents keep buying Coke and Pepsi). If it all weren't so downright tragic,
it would almost be funny.
Almost.
