アジアの驚くほど高い自閉症率と発達遅延
日本スピーキングツアーからのレポート、3月 1-10

私は日本に行ってアメリカの母親の仕事について話をし、母親に遺伝子組み換え作物と毒素の健康上のリスクを警告して、彼らがそれらを避けることを期待した。アジアの食生活を考えると、彼らの健康は私たちの健康よりもはるかに良いと確信しました。日本人、韓国人、フィリピン人の子供の健康問題がアメリカの子供をはるかに上回っていことを知ってショックを受けました。 500-800を超えるお母さんが、5の場所のそれぞれでプレゼンテーションのために集まりました。そこで、なぜ群衆がそんなに大きいのかを学びました。
Japanese children have developmental delays 2x higher than the US. Korean children have autism and developmental delays 2-3x higher. According to the Autism Speaks of Philippines, at least 1 million, or 1 out of 33 children in the Philippines had been diagnosed with autism in 2014 (more without healthcare are likely to have symptoms), which is far worse than our current 1 out of 68 children. I was crushed. I was Angry. I was Outraged.

It's Time to Protect Organic Integrity!
We want to make sure you are fully informed about the important issues being raised at the National Organic Standards Board meeting in April.

Monsanto in Hot Water
New developments do not bode well for Monsanto.
1. A huge win for consumer activists; Monsanto's Roundup and hundreds of other brands containing glyphosate will soon be labeled a "carcinogen" according to a newly passed California State ruling.
2. An EPA staffer, Jess Rowland, has been accused of colluding with Monsanto to downgrade carcinogenic effects of glyphosate. New York Times article ここに。
3. Monsanto has been accused of ghostwriting the Roundup cancer studies which show "safety."
4. New studies show that Roundup causes liver disease and glyphosate-based herbicides are decisively linked to cancer in Argentina. Another shows endocrine disruptors such as those found in Roundup and glyphosate-based herbicides are the major contributing factor to the drastic decline of the quality of men's sperm.
5. In a groundbreaking turn of events, Moms Across America has been informed that the EPA has confirmed that The National Toxicology Program will, in fact, assess the final formulation of Glyphosate-based herbicides and the EPA will take their assessment into consideration for their review and decision on whether to renew or revoke the license of glyphosate.
Apparently, Bayer is reconsidering their $66 billion dollar offer to merge....
Could this be the beginning of the end of Monsanto?

Moms Speak Up! Town Hall Meetings
Have you heard about the passionate crowds filling town hall meetings across the country this week? Maybe you were one of them. If so, send us your story!
More than 1,000 people showed up to Chaffetz’s town hall in Cottonwood Heights, a Salt Lake City suburb and created such a stir the national media picked up the story.
In Michigan, a People’s Campaign member visited Rep. Dave Trott’s office only to be turned away and told by local police that they were trespassing after requesting a meeting. “It’s illegal to go visit your congressperson now?” they wrote in a Facebook live post that has gone viral. Refusing to back down, they held their own town hall. When Rep. Trott refused to show, they put a live chicken at the front of the room to symbolize his unwillingness to participate in the democratic process.

続きを読むSmall Monsanto Shareholder Meeting Packed with Lies
1月 27, 2017 St.Louis, MO.
"Infuriating" is not sufficient to describe today's Monsanto shareholder meeting.
In a small room, at the Research and Development facility on Chesterfield Parkway, MO, perhaps 60 people sat in a room with many empty seats, with no audio-cast available for other shareholders. The board and the accounting firm were present. CEO Hugh Grant and David Snively, Executive Vice President and General Council sat at the head of the room.
Anne Temple, Moms Across America Midwest leader, and I sat on the right side with our "hosts" Cami and Billy, near the microphone.

Open Letter to Medical Doctors and Liver Disease Organizations
As mothers, we are extremely concerned about the rise in childhood illness, including Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) in children and teens and our family members.
- Approximately 15,000 children are hospitalized every year in the U.S. with pediatric liver disease or disorders.
- An alarming statistic is that six million children—up to 10 percent of all children in the nation—have NAFLD, the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease we referred to earlier. NAFLD is the leading cause of chronic liver disease in children and adults in the United States.
You probably already know that 80% of genetically modified foods, which are in 85% of our processed foods in America, are engineered to withstand Roundup weedkiller. Many do not know, however, that Roundup is also sprayed as a drying agent on nonGMO, non-organic food, and feed crops, for example; wheat, garbanzo beans, lentils, dried beans, tea, sugar and many grains. The EPA allows this chemical product to be sprayed on 158 of our food and feed crops because they have been told it is safe by the manufacturer, they do not conduct their own tests. Food testing has shown levels from 29 ppb in beer, 1500 ppb on Cheerios, 3500 ppb on garbanzo beans, to 1.67 ppm on oatmeal baby food. It only takes 0.1 ppb to destroy gut bacteria and levels lower than what is allowed on our food cause liver damage. Glyphosate does not wash or peel off.

誰かがこれについて深く考えていません。トマトを食べるイモムシを殺す新しいトマトが開発されました。これは農家にとっては有益な進歩のように見えるかもしれませんが、人間の消費にとってはまったく不合理です。
命を奪う植物を親が子供に食べさせたいとは思わないでしょう。 24 時間以内に毛虫が枯れる植物は毒と呼ばれ、家族の食べ物ではありません。
科学者たちは、毛虫を殺すために使用された方法は動物や人間に害を及ぼさないと主張するかもしれませんが、私は棄権し、健全な懐疑論者であり続けたいと思います。ショウジョウバエと人間には遺伝的類似性が 60% あります。トマトの結実者はショウジョウバエよりも複雑なシステムを持っているため、トマトの結実者と人間の間で共有される遺伝的性質はおそらく 60% 以上であると推測できます。もし植物が人間との遺伝的類似点が 60% 以上ある毛虫を殺すことができるとしたら、私は子供の夕食の皿にそのリスクを追加しません。

New Paper Justifies Moratorium of GMOs
On 12月 19, 2016 a team of scientists published a new paper* revealing that GMO corn, NK603 a Roundup-tolerant variety, showed alarming differences from non GMO corn. The variety showed to have metabolism disturbances caused by the GMO process and the presence of cadaverine and putrescine, chemicals which can be toxic. The presence of these differences show that concern for harm, when GMOs are consumed by humans, is warranted. The impact of these disturbances and chemicals are unknown. The rise of health conditions in the USA is a known however, since the introduction of GMOs, food allergies have increased 400%. Currently 1 out 2 American children have a chronic illness such as autoimmune disease, asthma, allergies, autism, diabetes or obesity.
