1964 - The bread and wine of the year 2000

Nicols Well, you have no appetite?

No, no, as you want one has appetite

I just read that just introduce another product chemist

You can be the bread monoastearato

and for what?

to prevent it from hardening

as if that was not enough wine dye

insecticide cover apple

meat that comes from animals

fattened with antibiotics

salad ingredients with chemicals

but this is too much!

The list of chemicals that is added

in the power supply increases every day

but is it really we believe about

You know the issue is quite serious because all our future

the power supply of the year 2000

is sufficiently important to the future of the species

for us to do an investigation is necessary

to all those concerned Number of toxicologist of power supply

to clarify on this issue

I tena four years when these were passed imagnes

and pruning have been one of those children sitting at table

Half a century after the research have resumed stopped

and rightly so because at that time

was too early to measure the long-term effects of chemicals

used in the food chain

from the fields to the producer Consumer plate

However, these ESTN everywhere

However these everywhere ESTN

about fruits and vegetables under the form of pesticide residues

in epicera and ready meals

in the form of food additives

or an on packaging and plastic containers

As they have regulated them?

have been testing them seriously?

There is a relationship between these chemicals

To answer these questions I've been around the world

patiently Uniting puzzle pieces

OUR DAILY POISON

A film by Marie-Monique Robin

I am very happy to receive this exploitation

as you see it is a cereal exploitation

no live tock,

here by the early 90 bean intensive agriculture

I make enough in chemistry

and it is also here that had an accident in April 2004

just checking cleaning bucket

on a sprayer with it had just weeding maz

inhaled vapor adjuvant

in a solvent is called

monochlorobenzene was in this code

"On the mazy soybeans

Lasso or any derivative

You can control weeds

Monsanto's herbicide Lasso "

After the ccident

was taken to the emergency room

couple some weeks, but above

pair a few weeks, but above

health problems are

whose few months after which led me

hospitalizacin 5 months and 9 month work stoppage, as is

give me da story today, if you they are here

is because there are several people victims of this product

is that it is a topic that is tab very difficult to talk about it

"My solution: well used herbicides

except weeds "

This fu a first world in January 2010

thirty sick

invited farmers met by the Movement for Respect Law and Future Generations

one environmental organization leading a campaign

about the dangers of pesticides

At the beginning of my career here is symbolic

because the beginning of my career

one tore and now the da

replant hedgerows have here we have a little advance

this side I was ah double title, first as a journalist

because the food chain starts in the fields of farmers but also because

crec on a farm located a hundred kilometers

as all these men and women

my parents were actors of the Green Revolution

that deeply transform the agrcolas activities

the years following the Second World War

The vein pattern of the United States who thanks to

Marshall Plan that it was supposed to help aa rebuild a Europe ruined

massively exported machines and pesticides agrcolas

and all believed in them, they finished scarcity and hunger

and industrial agriculture may feed the world

"These last few years the man managed to

this wealth has given us

the best conditions of life that the world has known jams"

In this model agrcola chemistry has the answer for everything

it provides insecticides to kill insects

herbicides to destroy weeds

Because we gather today we give?

Because we gather today gives?

15 years ago we work in the chemical contamination

especially in the pollution pesticides linked

Franois Veillerette Respect Movement and the Right to Future Generations

and 15 years ago is seen by all sides in the fields of France

Farmers tell us that sick ESTN

sick or having companions

and give answers to the questions that make us

either terms of doctors or legal TOXICOLOGI CAL

because we have talented experts that podrn

give them answers my story, my case

fu might not be more tenacious

but I was lucky to survive that da

can be a bad day for signature that sold me the product

neurolgico had a problem, ie

headache, I know very perda the

here have brutally coma that lasted not much but it was deeper

and sudden today I daa neurolgico treatment level

I'm going to Rennes every six months because lesions appeared

in the brain and there is a very close monitoring of evolution

"Do not Forget jams PESTICIDES ARE POISONS

it is you who should be careful

use pesticides with precaution "

1960 - "Pesticide risks to health" U.S. Department of Health

Pesticides are poison, I have here there the merit of clarity

and high doses can cause what they call

acute poisoning in english "poisoning" a poisoning hazard

these jams have been denied

by the promoters of agriculture

chemistry that makes 50 years ago

did not hesitate to shoot avctimas

acute intoxication with the goal

of therapeutics research and prevention

1970 - Advertising Dupont

According to the World Health Organization

each year from 1 to 3 million people

are victims of acute poisoning by pesticides

and more than 200,000 die from this

with an annual consumption of 80,000 tons

with an annual consumption 80,000 tons

since 1997 the Mutual Social Agrcola MSA

wearing a monitoring program

of acute poisoning

dubbed "phyto attitude"

Fito and Phytosanitary product the term used

Power by the public and industry to designate pesticides

in the year 2009 received the mutual 271 cases of acute poisoning

Dr. Jean Luc Dupupet - by doctor Risk chemist, Social Mutual Agrcola

Know what kind of products are incriminated?

are rather herbicides, fungicides?

Well we have an idea, we

when people have a headache

insecticides are usually

is declining because it is a category

a family of insecticides

tend to disappear

but with insecticides one has

the tendency to emphasize

you say h adache

with fungicides more one observes the cutneas manifestations

with herbicides is digestive or cutneo

d to as diseases professionals agrcola middle?

It is necessary, at the beginning of the years 90, 95 had American Studies

Italians and Scandinavians who have highlighted that

Frequently habacnceres in

agrcola population than in the general population

agrcola Note that there are fewer cases of cancer

in the middle that the population in general

but that certain types of cancer are more represented

and all diseases have also been, I mean cancer

but also talk about

especially diseases neurolgicas PD

and that disease seen in

certain people in certain farmers recognized

as an occupational disease since

an increased risk of this disease linked to the utilization of the

"phy o"

Products If the doctor Dupupet response has been so laborious is because

to a recent date the impact long term

Long term pesticide

Caroline Tanner, Parkinson's Institute Neuro epidemiologist

Our main result is you three chemical substances

At its board cnceres attributable to exhibitions

not based on data ningn slido

In the field of cancer

the CIRC is an international reference

is the fifth monograph sets

ie the classification of the chemicals

in function of its potential cancergeno

paramount tool

the ruling of substances

their experts to examine this the scientific literature

concerning the product to know all published studies

that is what they call

the revision of the Reading Committee

Substances are classified 4-categories

Group 1: Cancergenos for Men

exceptional category because

there needs to be epidemiolgicos data

so it is very difficult to get

is the case of asbestos or benzene

then comes the Group 2A: Probable Cancergenos

for Men Group 2B: Possible Cancergenos ,

which characterize the substances of which there are experimental data

in the more or less important Animal

about 100,000 chemicals marketed products

after the end of the World War II

only 900 have been evaluated by the CIRC

of which more than half

is part of Group 3: Unclassifiable

Vincent Cogliano, head of Program IARC monographs

The fact that a product

no chemist has been classified by the CIRC

means that it is not dangerous?

Not completely, just means that

most cases have not been tested

that means that anyone considered

this data for cancer or anyone

a studied cancergenos potential effects

Really I have not counted but I think we have

evaluated twenty or thirty pesticides

in the history of our program

But that's nothing

It is true that it does not look like much if you compare

In fact it is very difficult for us

to make an evaluation pesticide serious n

because most experimental studies

concerning them are not pblicas

certainly assume that the signatures

which produce pesticides must provide

their studies to the National Health Agencies

because they do tests and studies

are forwarded to the Government Agencies

but are not published

is very difficult for us to access

As you explain the fact that studies conducted by

of the Committee Cientfica Reading?

Suddenly is not the interest of firms

Maybe it is not the interest of firms

publish results that suggest

that their products can be harmful

anyway they are obligated not

make public their studies

Saba you that in 2007 the

French Academies of Medicine and Science

have published a report with the CIRC

with the title "The Causes the Cncer in France "?

Thanks

We currently are not cancergenos in the animal or in man

I have consulted their monographs

and I've found at least

dichlorvos and lorotalonile

if they have been ranked

2B means that studies have shown are cancergenos

at least in animals

If you still are used and I'm pretty sure

they are in animals cancergenos

That means the affirmation

in this report is incorrect

Yes, I think it is

How to know if during these traces not favorecern

All good questions and

have been made 50 years ago, if pesticides are toxic

to the point of illness to users

what about waste one finds

in fruits and vegetables treated?

Geneva, Sw tzerland

To answer these questions it is necessary

understand how it works the ruling of the

chemicals the current system has been developed

at the end of the years 1950 low conducted by WHO

FAO in collaboration with the Organization of the

Looking in the archives, I discovered a

toxic ogo

Looking in the archives, I have found that a toxiclogo

Capital francs a role pl on site

tools designed to regulate substances

entering qumicas food contact

The name was Ren Truhaut, the respondent had been

by my colleagues 50 years ago

1964 "The bread and wine of the year 2000"

Ren Truhaut

I can understand so that front

the pressure of the chemical Aument of sb

in the last century when our citizen of the world

and well in the food domain specifically

has been given a great importance

to microbiolgico food control

and has founded a number of all laboratories

to exercise supervision and well be necessary

it is in the morning

If control of agents chemicals added to foods

because their effects may be more insidious

less spectacular if you want

but as I see serious opinin

Ren Truhaut is considered the father

of what we call

Permissible Dose laborer or acceptable with jargon DJA

first conceived for Ruling food additives

this principal toxicologist

then Extendi tool for pesticide residues

here the definition that gives Ren Truhaut:

" Allowable Dose laborer is the number

food additive that can be ingested daily throughout

a life without no risk "

Interestingly no one knows

really like the DJA was invented

while she is supposedly

to protect our health of chemicals risk

The only person that He found

is called Diane Benford, toxicloga

of Britnica Food Standards Agency

She is the author a document entitled "Permissible Dose

one laborer tool for ensuring food security

", where fu

published by ILSI a body which is funded by multinational

of the chemical and the agroalimentacin

In his part histrica Diane Benford

is content with naming and Ren Truhaut

quote Paracelsus a Swiss physician of the sixteenth century

regarded as the founder of toxicologist

"Anything can be a poison is the dose

makes the difference between a poison and a remedy"

Diane Benford, Head of Risk Appraisal of chemist, Food Standards Agency

The concept forms the basis of the DJA

The concept which forms the basis of the DJA

is the principle of Paracelsus "The dose makes the poison"

Is this true?

It is true

What does this mean exactly?

That means that the probability have toxic effects

increases with dose but fundamentally

is true for all This includes water or oxygen

without which We could not live

if large absorvemos

quantities that can also be harmful

with the greatest amount of As more elements

reduced the dose, decreases the probability

have negative effects

It is what toxicologists call the dose-effect relationship?

Correct

Not only the severity of effect increases with dose

but also the number of individuals

having a negative REACTION

If I understand well, the whole part evaluation process

the principle that all substances

qumicas are txicas

one tries to find a dose

involving not have any effect

It is correct

1958 - "Pesticide risks to health"

As seen here

a drop of insecticide can be fatal

Specifically laborer Allowable Dose

is computed from from studies

Laboratory Animals

First Step: You are given a group of guinea pigs

high doses of chemicals

will generally oral

the goal is to determine why one called

Lethal Dose or jargon LD50

ie the dose that kills half of the animals

Second stage: the dose is decreased

to observe the effects on guinea pigs

for example is whether products

daan tissues or organs

if the cause effects on the nervous system

or immune and Wanted particularly interested us

at potential cancergeno

because of course it is something that concerns people

a dose that apparently brings

any effect on animals

is what we call the NOAEL ie

Dose No Observed Effect TOXIC

then to calculate the DJA to serve

apply a safety factor by dividing the NOAEL 100

finally DJA is a value expressed in

milligrams of product per kilo of body weight

one DJA 0.2 mg / Kg

if the consumer weighing 60 kg is assumed that

can consume 60 times 0.2 mg / Kg ie 12mg daily for da

lifet me

without their health being affected

You can say that No-toxic dose

Observed Effect is a safety threshold?

In life there is no domain

wherein one can guarantee absolute security

one runs the risk of going off

the facts you may have noticed

if the study was of good quality

Ned Groth Expertise in environment

is a confusing as it is not extremely accurate

is why the

persons managing used an uncertainty factor, the standard form

applying a factor of hundred

is what is considered a factor 10

to consider the difference it can

exist between animals and humans

then a new factor of 10

by the difference in sensitivity

between humans themselves

The question is whether it is sufficient to know ?

Numerous those who argue that

this factor of 10 to account

This factor of 10 to account

of human variability is too weak

by the same dose can have an effect

zero for certain people

but others may be huge

Pr Erik Millistone, Professor of Policy How Cientfica, University of Switzerland

The safety factor is supposed to be one hundred

each is a figure of heaven and scribbled

on a corner of the tablecloth

That was decided four around a table

That's what Bob Shipman had

one of the oldest in the Food and Drug Administration

in a conference that asist said:

"Fu in the years 1960, was

encontrramos need a way to determine which level of output

pruned to allow food

we met and ah is, what Did "

While we wait, the DJA is

While we wait, the DJA is

absolute reference value

for experts to regulate

the chemicals that pollute

our food chain

As here in the European Authority EFSA

for Food Safety

Fontier Herman, Head of EFSA Pesticide

Takes you to be a DJA scientist the concept?

clear cientficas research

there is a consensus in the scientific world that was to fix the DJA

Pr Erik Millistone, Professor of Scientific University deSuiza Policy How

There is a concept cient fico

ris

but its acceptability acceptability however the notion is a

essentially social, regulatory, and commercial policy

essentially social, regulatory, policy or commercial

acceptable, but acceptable to whom?

and behind the notion of acceptability

is always the question

Risk is acceptable pro of course benefit?

but those who take benefits of utilization of chemicals

companies are always and not consumers

therefore consumers are running the risk

1960 "Pesticide risks to health"

The research allowed to use these poisons

These men drink large doses of pesticides

fruits, vegetables and other foods

search for traces of pesticide

Our foods are tested for

average amount of pesticides we ingest daily

For serving the DJA if you do not

you consider the level pesticide residues found

about fruits and vegetables treated?

To do the experts have invented a second

Limit Mximo of Waste with jargon LMR

Fontier Herman, Head of the EFSA Pesticide

What is the MRL?

Well, that is the number

can be found in a food product

amount expressed in milligrams of pesticides, pesticide residue

per kilogram of foodstuff as well

FIXING LMR n

is the result of a fairly complex process

Pretty complex? certainly

Consider a i secticide

Take for example an insecticide

having a laborer Allowable Dose

0.01 milligrams per kilo of body weight

the insecticide may be used on

twenty fruits and vegetables

As we know if we consumers

not reach sb gives the dose

considered insecticide acceptable?

To do our persons managing should evaluate

our potential exposure by measuring

the amount of residue left

on each product agrcola after harvest

thanks to field testing and then studies are needed

determining consumption that fruits and vegetables

and how much we eat daily

given our food consumption habits

Beaching of a country or from one continent to another

The result, allowing thousands of figures set the maximum limit

Quin sets this figure?

A United Nations agency that responds to the barbarian name

Elaboration of the international Food

Gene a

I have obtained the exceptional authorization to attend the annual meeting of JMPR

comprised of international experts whose mission is to analyze the

data toxicolgicos pesticide

to set the DJA but also to fix

the MRL for each product agrcola

During the session in September 2009

twenty pesticides have been evaluated among which

chlorpyrifos-methyl an insecticide manufactured

by the American firm Daw Agro Sciences

Bernadette Ossendorp, Chairman of the FAO JMPR

Take for example the chlorpyrifos-methyl

which is used as an insecticide worldwide

How can we tell if a consumer

has not reached a DJA

chlorpyrifos-methyl simply eating

3 blocks and two grapefruits for example?

If I understand your question

you should know that the MRL level value

we evaluated is much more elevated

that your actual exposure

according to our monitoring program

we know that all apples you eat

can not be treated with chlorpyrifos-methyl

must understand that Our evaluation of consumption

case corresponds to a theoretical "worst"

this has nothing to do with the real world

in the real world you will have on your plate

a mixture of potatoes that habrn been treated

carrots or lettuce also

that have not been treated

therefore the probability you receive

a given high doses of residues of this pesticide

is extremely low

Honestly, it is not really that insurer

specifically this evaluation categorical in the "worst"

is calculated based on data sent by the industry

this occupies kilometers of shelves in the subterranean WHO

for each pesticide manufacturer's packaging

thousands of pages concerciente

TOXICOLOGI CAL studying and medicin of waste

during the field tests

Evil tongues say is an industry strategy

to flood the experts verify data difciles

It is impossible to know how the experts work

because we have not been authorized

to record the sound of the debate

in effect on JMPR everything is secret

the identity of the experts ,

content of sessions that have a door closed

and the data submitted by industry

which are covered by the "trade secret"

Pr Angelo Moretto, President of JMPR 2009

Pr Angelo Moretto, President of JMPR 2009

I have reviewed the list of studies has sent

Dow Agro Sciences

the manufacturer of chlorpyrifos-methyl

is interesting because all are "unpublished"

and covered by the "Data protection"

you can check for yourself

Yes, it is quite possible, studies

providing industry JMPR

or national authorities data are protected

a confidentiality clusula

but if you consult the document occurred

by the JMPR and national authorities

Guests may find a summary largest of these data

The summary data but not in "raw"

No, not the raw data for that

belongs to the manufacturers

you have to rely in them by the analysis

and the interpretation Correct Data

The practice of keeping data secret

only serves the commercial interests of the qumicas companies

it is not at all in favor of

consumer interests and health p Republic

WHO and Agencies Ruling

not at all deserve the confidence of the public

, WHO Secretary for JMPR and JECFA

Because the data is protected?

It is because of the right of "intellectual property" are legal problems

,

data are private and belong to the company that transmits

ustede must therefore ask

to the industry because as

Pr Erick Millestone, Professor of Policy How Scientific University of Switzerland da

Only the data comprising the manufacturing process

Product may justify clusula

confidentiality, because it represents information

but otherwise all data TOXICOLOGI CAL

concerning security or

Product toxicity duty to be public domain

Angelika Trischer, WHO Secretariat JMPR and JECFA

If one takes as an example the snuff

with the studies provided by the manufacturers, these were defective

provided by the manufacturer, these were defective

and an engineered, forged

and WHO has been deceived by them during many years by industry

I have a comment about this

But it is true than I comment

In addition this happened before my arrival

the organization, not have all the details

It is a painful story here

If it's clearly a painful history

but the fact that the "data protection"

has a huge discussion here and see either

where we take in the future

While waiting one thing is sure

for industry what is at stake is enormous

annual pesticide market

represents 25 billion EUR

and 140 are sprayed tons each to or

each pesticide has its DJA and LMR

For each category of product agrcola

when you see all these numbers, one that says

regulations all these beautiful buildings

will be able to be reassuring if the DJA and MRL

Scientists values ??were quite safe to be definitive

but it is not the case, so we the example of procymidone

Foundation for the

Pr Angel Morello, President of the JMPR 2009

The European Union has expressed its concern

with respect to the limits that habamos set

You Tenan Food Safety reason finally EFSA has lowered the DJA of procymidone

here I document the EFSA I quote "with the purpose to change

the MRL in order to reduce exposure

consumer level it is estimated there will be no

negative effects on your health "

When I've read this document from EFSA

I understand that the DJA or the MRLs set by the EFSA

or JMPR were never definitive

If nothing in life is permanent

and this includes science

therefore, if there is new data that require us to change

our previous decisions then we do

Fontier Herman, Chief EFSA Pesticide Unit

So I have a EFSA document

If?

Published in January 2009 admit that change

DJA because the new data, right?

means that when the bean DJA

I thought that Protect Protect me in fact not

Failure to Protect ... no tena

not offer the same protection ...

yet ... once again ... there is a value of security applied

a value of 100 in relation the no-effect dose

therefore no security ...

that ESTN ... a bit everywhere

inserted into the system ... therefore it is unlikely

the DJA that had been previously fixed

has affected the health

Bernadette Ossendorp, Chairperson of the FAO JMPR

If you really want a zero risk, has reason

no need to use pesticides

but it is a policy decision

while politicians say they are authorized

because farmers need

to have bumper crops

it's the best we can do

"It's the best we can do"

summarizes this confession well the first part

studies provided by Searle

to get aspartame homologacin

was the subject of a great polmica in years 1970

At the origin one neurologist John Olney

that we see here in a press conference

in 1996 ie 15 years after the start

in t e

aspartame market "Our article published about

"Our article is published

on the increased incidence

of brain tumors in the population

human in the United States that began

Three years after the introduction

aspartame on the market "

That you had conducted studies

about aspartame?

Dr John Olney - Neuropsychiatrist Washington University in St Louis

My first study of data 1971 which concerna

Aspartame is the combination 2 amino acids: aspartic acid

and fenil lanida.

My study showed that aspartic acid

destroys nerve cells

as does glutamate ped

after the signing Searle

that sends me a sample of

aspartame which they did, this will feed d

babies mice and watched the same brain damage

as with aspartic acid or glutamate

But if aspartame is susceptible of causing brain tumors

what is at stake in health is huge!

Because the FDA Auth aspartame?

Because the FDA did not do their job properly

In fact the way the FDA handled

to the dossier of aspartame is at least

I could see troubling internal files

of the agency through the tenacity

Betty Martini who has created a center

Betty Martini who has created a center

of documentation on aspartame

christened International Mission Possible

All the pieces accumulate conviction

obtained by Freedom of Information Act

a U.S. procedure

that allows all citizens

accessing documents of administration

As I discovered that alerted by John Olney

to assess the validity of data provided by

Finally Searle in August 1977

Dr. Bressler Jerom had a severe drafted

The report denounced irregularities all

in the studies of signature

Here is an excerpt from the reports made:

"The demands of observation confirm that the animal number A23LM

was alive at week 88

Dead Week 92 Week 104

Deaths of the week 92 to week 104

Live and dead week 108 week 112 "

then establishes a FDA commission of investigation

pblica delivering his report

the September 30, 1980

The commission concluded that "the utilization

aspartame in food

should not be authorized while the subject

its eventual potential cancergeno

has not been resolved by further studies "

November 3, 1987, Commission Senate on aspartame

The irregularities

by FDA scientists were confirmed

during the 1987 Congressional hearings

Nutrasweet, Resource Committee Senate Human

and notably by Jackqueline Verret

one agency toxicloga

Senator Howard Metzenbaum

and buds of American consumers

Dr.Jaqueline Verret, FDA toxicologist Thanks

sir Senator affirm without reservation on the amount of aspartame

now we put all the food

If we rely on these studies is a mess

from my perspective they do not have a minimum

trusted by procedural flaws in his realization that returns

hardly inte pretable

and prevent us from determining a figure quite reliable fix a DJA

David Hattan, FDA Toxicologist

"Eating can be hazardous to your health"

le pray that there will be the main page 96 and I would like to have your comments

beca se

you work here a long time is not it?

She writes: "Not that you choose by

the government is corrupt

-Is good news is not true -

but the sense of duty is constantly corrodo

by contact with industry

industry rather than the effects

long term for consumers, "

Share this constatacin you?

No, I completely disagree with it

I do not think any of us

none FDA c nsiders

do their job properly

if not will put consumer safety

above any co sideracin

by the wellness industry that equivaldraa

I am completely disagree with it

However the auditions Congress

in which I participated David Hattan

one discovers the surprising proximity

This head of the FDA and the company

Searle which was run by one of Donald Rumsfeld

1976 to 1980 the year of the election of Ronald Reagan White House Senator Howard Metzenbaum

- Demo rat

Between 1979 and 1982 four members of the FDA

No conflicts of interest are really

but m s well "revolving doors" fu

What the role of Donald Rumsfeld in the process

of homologacin of aspartame?

-Attorney James Turner, president of Citizens for Health

Donald Rumsfeld dej government when Gerald Ford

lost the presidency, after being

of the pharmaceutical firm Searle

The company was installed in the represented circunscripcin

when elected to Congress fu

the Searle family was very influential

and all had sustained during their political career

for which he was recruited by Searle

After the election of Ronald Reagan

After the election of Ronald Reagan

once installed, the new commissioner dispos

Scientists working in the FDA

and declared that aspartame tena no danger

Donald Rumsfeld

When I get a mission

I do the best I can

I have here as after a few weeks

the election of Ronald Reagan

aspartame invaded the American market

as soon as if by magic

the decision of the FDA copied fu

across the Atlantic

"NutraSweet because many things

taste very nice "

Geneva, Switzerland

Rencontr in WHO JECFA files

the Joint Committee for Food Additives

All you discover that from 1975 to 1979

for aspartame while the FDA

For example 1978 report notes that "reason

expressed doubts about the validity of the data

Deferred application the committee based its decision n "

Changing weather report 1980

where the experts decide to fix the DJA

aspartame 40 milligrams per kilo

In the annex of the report adds

is the name studies

which is based this decision:

The DJA set by the JECFA was adopted

with eyes closed

by European countries and particularly by the European Food Safety Authority EFSA

for the Safety of Food

Huges Koenigswald, Head of Unit Food Additive

This EFSA DJA 40 milligrams per kilo was established at the beginning by the JECFA

is the group of international experts

FAO and WHO in 1980 fu

then the same DJA

is established by the committee of scientists to human power supply

so for Europe, 1985

Fu WHO, hoje files in

and the JECFA had access to documents files

this is very disturbing first 40 milligrams DJA

is based on a study highly controversial and jams

this is came back on, once again

studies beginning are highly objectionable

I is not have to think about studying

initial'm not the elements to judge

more than I can read evaluations preceding

and evaluations mentioned above that s

, and bean doubt that this bean is removed

S, but no files

new studies to explain why this doubt quit

About something actually did thirty years ago

may be regrettable, it is often the case

Senate Commission on Aspartame

O-Ohio Senator Howard Metzenbaum

While waiting, the effect "snowball"

is a bargain for industry

is what the evidence shows

Robert Shapiro CEO of Nutrasweet

by Monsanto in 1985, who will verify

Robert Shapiro, CEO of Nutrasweet

Those who attack aspartame

health and regulatory world

The fact that all organisms scientists

health or

Ruling in USA and around the world

who have examined the data

aspartame safety have all

conclusion: no aspartame danger

David Hattan, FDA Toxiclogo

The FDA has received many complaints on aspartame have here

list harmful effects became public

there are many harmful effects 92 complaints in total and many hundreds of thousands

Complaint headaches, vrtigos

epilepsies crisis

vomiting, vision problems

Do you think this is disturbing list?

In fact, the FDA and the firm Searle

that manufactures aspartame led clnicos

additional studies to evaluate these effects

as headaches or seizures epilepsy

all this been carefully tested

and the result was that in an environment controlled

and when you know exactly the dose used

the very moment of the individual ingestiny

that consumes one does not get

to replicate or reproduce these effects

Dr John Olney - UW Neuropsychiatrist St-Louis

According to all my knowledge

Searle jamsa appropriate studies conducted

to determine whether aspartame causes

problems in the central nervous system

Press conference on aspartame

Dr. Ralph Walton, Psychiatrist

Buenos das, for the last 12 years

my patients ensearon me that aspartame

can cause epilepsy depression, panic

I have discussed the scientific research international on aspartame

cientficas serious concernan clearly that

Product safety on human

About 164 studies 74 were established by the aspartame industry

74 say that aspartame is not danger

between the results of studies and financing orgen

all studies funded by the aspartame industry concluan

did not cause any trouble and one hundred percent

truly studies independent

concluan that had one problem with substance

How do you explain it?

Tragically money is very powerful

The argument is serious This suggests that

that scientists can be purchased

To be sure, touch doors

of a prestigious institution American Cancer Society

which just tie with industry is often denounced

Dr. Michael Thun, epidemiologist Former President of American Cancer Society

It is absolutely true that industrial

which may be affected by studies that affect their interests

attempt to influence the view favored the public and politicians

trying to influence times in investigations

Dr. Peter Infante, epidemiologist

is a fact that no well-conducted studies

and frightening studies and often

studies are funded

indus ry

are designed such that it is completely impossible

detect harmful effects, that means

which is the scientific literature

regularly contaminated studies

regularly contaminated by studies

facts are not conveniently

Dr. Michael Thun, epidemiologist

It would be a good idea if the scientists

that evaluate drugs are not given

money from firms farmacuticas

or those working on products

contaminants were paid

for those who manufacture

But that is not the case

No, the reverse is a common practice

Yes, I worked in a

Ruling agency for over twenty five years

if they can not beat you on the ground

science then resort to personal attacks

, this experiment myself

They wanted me fired from my job

and the reason precisely that fu

because I was doing my work

Unfortunately it is very common

you are asked to

government agents who change their interpretation of the

data they deem as unreliable

most of the time is very difficult in reason

of

economic situation of those scientists who are

there in 1 hour and 50 minutes wish them good ...

There in 1 hour and 50 minutes wish you a good ...

Unfortunately centers are rare

totally independent investigation

that ESTN protected from Industry pressure

is the case of the Foundation European Ramazzini

specialized private institution

in environmental cancerologa

Its researchers have conducted two studies on aspartame

published in 2005

The first was done with rats 1800

that a dose of aspartame ingerieron

near the DJA from the age of 8 weeks

until the age of natural death

Result: increased lymphomas significant

and leukemias in females

The second study was 400 females are preadas

microns which were followed until death

This result confirm the first study

which adds a significant increase

interestingly these two studies

were rejected by the FDA and EFSA

Dr Morando Soffritti, Director of the Ramazzini Institute scientist

Based on our data safely

is cancergeno for animal experiments

Hugues Koenigswald, Head of Unit Food Additives EFSA

There is certainly by no mean certain failure

There is certainly not mean certain failure

metodolgica on purpose these studies

For example?

Well, in particular Rats that

that were under study had

much of respiratory pathologies

Dr Morando Soffritti, Director Scientist of the Ramazzini Institute

We agree for a number of reasons

firstly, because the inflammatory process

we observe in our animals depend

often the fact that we

let them die naturally

without interrupting your life arbitrarily

and as is the case in man in the last phase of his life

pulmonary complications

and kidney are common

is very common to find inflammations

both the lungs and kidney

Respiratory disease is the

origin of the tumor and therefore can erase the tracks

is exactly what happened in this study

The rats in the control group Tenan the same breathing problem?

Dr Morando Soffritti, Director of the Ramazzini Institute scientist

Of course, the observed habamos

together in the treated group and the control group

The only difference between the two groups was that the group experienced

had ingested aspartame and control group that had not ingested Koenigswald

Hughes, Head of Unit Food Additive

EFSA Anyway most of

results of these studies have been

analysis invalidated by doing

committee of experts of the EFSA

In fact the arguments of the EFSA

really did not convince me, they intrigued

investigu for know who the 21

Member of the Committee of Food Additives EFSA

from a recent date, each expert

must declare their conflicts of interest

and the declaration can be consulted on the website of EFSA

We discovered that John Christian as the President of Larsen

Committee works to institute funded ILSI

by multinational agribusiness and qumicas

or Jrgen Knig tena contract with Danone

or even that Dominique Parent-Massin working

for Aji No Moto japons one of the leading manufacturers of aspartame

or

Coca Cola a big user of aspartame

I've checked all 21 members Committee on Food Additives

Ye

I saw Dominique arent-Massain

who is member of the working scientist Manufacturer

Aspartame the Japanese Aji No Moto

then, here's a real conflict of interest

This means that when we did the evaluation ...

this expert can not be

rapporteur to prepare the advice of the group and can not participate

on this issue because dliberacin

there is a conflict of interest

and here for example in the case of the board

was done on aspartame 2009

Dominique Parent-Massain did not participate?

No, its declaration of interest was evaluated

limit she does not participate in certain activities

of EFSA in relation

aspartame, in Addition to the process

habamos we set for

do the evaluation of the declaration of interest

the declaration of interest

Transparency in all cases limited

the declaration of interest of Dominique Parent-Massain

I had found on the site of the EFSA

before conducting my interviews

da are gone today and you replaced ESTN

a new one, where experts say no

a word about this Aji No Moto relationship with

and Coca Cola, strange coincidence

A senior leader of the EFSA told me one day:

"Dr. Soffritti, if we admit

results of their studies are vlidos

deberamos ban aspartame from early morning

you realize that's not possible? "

Pr Professor Erik Millstone Policy How Cientfica University of Switzerland

If they admit they made a mistake that llevaraa

lose confidence therefore, they fear doubtless

that may open the floodgates

hiciero you not a single

but some errors and can be all

the process defective

"can be the whole process is flawed "

At this stage in my research I understood

the entire system of products Ruling

chemicals is controlled by

industry whose main preocupacin health is not

consumer research but

1960 "Bread and wine of the year 2000"

for example, raises many concerns and

is sold in plastic bottles oil or wine

is uncertain whether regression

is enough to decide that the remains of plastic

that necessarily happens in oil

necessarily happens in the oil

or wine are not harmful

Invented over a century ago

the plastic has been imposed on all

domains of life the electronic equipment

clothing, transport media

furniture, toys, utensils

cooking or conditioning

food product

is estimated that every European uses an average

92 kilos of plastic per year

40% comes from food packaging

An example Bisphenol-A, called GAP

whose annual production amounts to 3 million

tonnes, is found in products

in polycarbonates as Bibern

water cylinders

microwave preparations

but also in the resins used

as coatings in containers

Allowable laborer Dose

of bisphenol A was set

0.05 milligrams per kilogram of body weight

The plastic is present everywhere

Sern our children of this world

and grandchildren not to vern

For a long time been considered the

inactive-that is unfortunately inert-

this is not the case which is

fortuitously discovered Ana Soto and Carlos Sonnengstain

two researchers in cell biology

Boston Un versity

In 1997 they worked on cells from c

breast cancer experiment consists cause

to Estrogen natural female hormone

Control tubes were kept in plastic

Pr Ana Soto - biloga Tufts University Cell Boston

We constantly repetamos it

result, in the absence of Estrogen

of cancer of the cells did not multiply within

but in the presence of Estrogen

multiplied them and suddenly all

c cells began to multiply

indiscrim nately

We think that one

habamos had contamination by Estrogen

finally we found that the activity

Provena tube in

which we retained tissue culture

then call the manufacturer of the pipe

quin could not give us the explanation

we sent several magnifiers

the Estrogen that was done due to change

due to the plastic formulacin

Pr Carlos Sonnenschein - Cell Bilogo Tufts University Boston

for this reason Rehus reveal the composition of

therefore it is thanks to our research

independent that we identify

the substance was nonylphenol

The nonylphenol as bisphenol A

hormone synthesis are used as antioxidants

in

the plastics materials after its discovery

the two researchers decided to focus on BPA

in reason of its massive utilization in food plastics

to

observe the effects on the second generation

Here the mammary gland of a mouse 4 months

we can see the tubes that later

will be providing milk, are not as numerous

and have few branches

now show you an animal that has been exposed to bisphenol A

in the uterus, we can see the complexity

conduits and branches

is four months after the exhibition

this will be a situation normal if the coffee

at this age an animal should be as normal

therefore there is a significant difference

pregnancy is not a pathology

if the female is preada

but if the mammary gland of a female

that is not mimic pregnancy preada

then that is not normal

What is the dose of bisphenol A that administered?

250 nanograms per kilo

is a very low dose

A 200-fold lower than the dose DJA

The story of Ana Soto and Carlos Sonnenschein of

U.S

chronicle in 1997 was published in France under the title

"Man under threat of disappearance"

is the result of research

conducted by Professor Theo Colborn

she has studied the impact

of the chemical contamination

on the fauna of the Great Lakes

then she realiz

the synthesis of a thousand studies related to

evolu ion

certain wild species such as gulls

whales or otters

a real job etective

which led to the creation of a new

scientific concept of those

"Disruptors En ocrinianos"

Pr Theo Colborn - Zoologist environmental health expert

I began with identifying all these problems

observed in these different species

general adult animals

They seemed normal and when pruned pequeos-

reproduce, and when Haban pequeos-

not reached adulthood

if they succeeded not live long

and were unable to reproduce

You will be able to tell us that is a disturbing endocriniano?

The answer is very simple

chemistry is a substance cul

endocriniano doing endocriniano system?

Basically allows to reproduce the

allows us to function normally

the controls the entire construction process

of a baby, from fecundacin

until birth, each msculo

the programming of the brain or all

the organs all depend

This endocriniano system

The problem is that we created

chemicals that resemble

to natural hormones and can

enter the same receptor activating a

funcino Off ndola

ms hormones and that's the problem

The term "Troublemaker Endocriniano"

fu invented during the middle of

Winspread conferences organized

by Theo Colborn in 1991

All brings together twenty scientists

that fueled his book after

it meets every year in a colloquium

in New Orleans, all ESTN Ana Soto and Carlos Sonnenschein

Louis Guillette specialist crocodile

Fred Vom Saal who works from over twenty years ago BPA

or John McLachlan, specialist distilbeno

or John McLachlan, specialist distilbeno

DES in english, banned for the last 30 years

this drug widely prescribed

to prevent miscarriages

is considered the model

of disturbing endocrinianos

because the case is unique, not only

because the available test data

on animals but also

epidemiolgicos data of human

chemist has changed our way of thinking

aclarndonos what is

the endocriniana perturbacin and that

we now call da fetal orgen

of the adult diseases

If you go back 60 years

distilbeno ATRS the first hormone fu

of synthesis invented by Charlie Dodds in 1938, had already

synthesized bisphenol A 1936

as an Estrogen, the distilbeno

has been used as a support endocriniano

pregn ncy

has been prescribed to more than 4 million women

U.S

in the end of the years 1940 to 1975

AFTER s you know all the history

is found cnceres cervical

- Bilogo Tulane University New Orleans

I had observed when exposed to

mice on gestation to distilbeno?

Note effects on offspring in

cnceres on your system

reproduction particularly in the vagina as the case is human

in fact all you have found

in mice has been verified in humans

and all that has been in humans has also been verified in

mic

It is very disturbing when we discovered what

habamos noticed that females

second generation Tenan one more early menopause

and 25 years later we find

the same thing in women who were exposed

So must repeat again and again

all the consequences of distilbeno

observed in human have been also

in mice and rats

and with Carlos da today we got the same

results dbiles doses of bisphenol A

similar to what we found in the environment

and in this point there is a difference

and if you we parallels with distilbeno

that means it was not until the 2032

to check on humans

So be very difficult because

distilbeno for women who have been exposed in utero

while women that They will have a c

cancer in 2032 they will have no

any evidence that they were exposed to BPA at uterus

I leave you with this very disturbing thought

of Biology, University of Missouri

Fred Vom Saal Pr - Bilogo University of Missouri, Columbia

The chemical industry has done a tremendous job

of disinformation to convince people

we are not exposed to bisphenol A

and the q antity

found in our bodies are not at all worrying

an example if you have your dose

an example if you have your dose

BPA everyday just enough eat Heinz ketchup

the same thing for the substances

containing lipophilic as oil atn

the Center for Disease Control

has made various studies to measure the level

BPA in urine and as we can

see in this national research

ms are as young, the higher the level of BPA

That observ effects when exposed

mice on gestation

very debles dose of BPA?

Studies on animals show

that high doses below the

Allowable Dose laborer causes secrecin

insulin, increased glucose rate

insulin resistance, diabetes

Heart Disease dysfunctions

brain and problems behavior

We also find

male and female

uterine fibroids, in

malformations of male testicles, reduced sperm

amount, growth hormones

and abnormally low testosterone

finally, observe the prstata cnceres

in males, breast in females

Roselyne Bachelot, Minister of Health and Sports France

The principle of precaution only applies

in the absence of reliable and in studies

this occasion reliable studies exist

and they conclude that in the present state of science

is given the safety of baby bottles with bisphenol A

For several years bisphenol A

is the subject of a fierce struggle

that precludes agencies of Ruling

and a number Scientists crescent

what is involved is not only DJA

set but all the way are evaluated

disturbing en ocrinianos

in which the BPA has become the symbol

audition in the National Assembly

in the heart of the conflict the "

Effects of Dose Dbiles" that toxiclogos

indus ry

ignore and which do not test

Interestingly agencies of Ruling

Interestingly agencies of Ruling

continan basing their assessments

industry studies whose quality is controversial

Regarding industrial they cling

keeping the status quo the same argument

manufacturers like aspartame

as here in the audition organized

francs in parliament

Michel Loubry, Director Europe West PlasticEurope

throughout the world to present that

industrial we need

know what you think

health agencies that we authorize to market different products

The current consensus

of the five health agencies

United States, Canada, Europe and Japan

is the current level of exposure

of BPA in food application

of the population this includes to children and babies

Andr Cicoletta, alchemist Toxiclogo Spokesman Environment and Health Network

When I heard his speech and you say

all agencies agree

I say, all agencies agreed

to say that asbestos caused no

where is n the victims?

The victims already dead ESTN 3000

then the real question

that one asks is: you have to wait 40

50 or 60 years to have the certainty?

Or is that from what we know

this convergence of animal studies

in the monkey, the data in monkeys

are extremely strong I think

Principle of Caution prevails

Principle of Caution prevails

Briant Pascale, Director of the Agency AFSSA French Healthcare Food Safety

The problem is we can not protect

appropriately to our citizens

based on the emotion

that does not mean therefore that

His words are sense at this time

as you talk about emotion versus

to all scientific data?

It is true that the word "emotion" is

surprising after 10 years in effect

the effects of BPA at doses

very dbiles sometimes

five thousand times less than the DJA

is what supports the

Declaration of consensus signed in 2007 by 38 international scientists

under the auspices of the Institute National Science

Environmental Health of the United States

Carlos Sonnenschein, Ana Soto or

Linda Birnmbauem the new director of NIEHS

They write: "The pathologies

current human resemble the effects observed

to laboratory animals exposed

a very dbiles dose of BPA

as increased breast cancer and prstata

, the diabetes type 2, obesity

or behavioral problems such as hyperactivity

Linda Birnmbaum, Director of NIEHS. National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences

Do you think that the BPA

should be prohibited at least in the bottles as they did

lately in Canada?

I am pragmtica, I think there's enough

Pragmtica I am, I think that sufficient

evidence that BPA has

the potential to cause adverse effects

particularly in certain periods

very sensitive to human development

therefore, if I were a young mam

and if my baby fed with Bibern

I would not want to have BPA in their Bibern

As you explain EFSA or the Authority

European Agency for Safety Food cling

DJA to 50 micro grams per kilo?

Because they have not examined the new data

that's the problem, some Ruling agencies

They are very slow to adapt to the new science

Fred Vom Saal Pr - Bilogo University of Missouri, Columbia

Basically we say

the calculation process est of DJA based

false hypothesis dating from the sixteenth century

does not take into account the fact

that chemicals react as hormones

and still no hormones toxicologist rules

Alexandre Feigenbaum Chief Unit of EFSA CEF

Fifteen years ago the lord Fred Vom Saal

tries to convince the scientific community

taking into account their studies, not convinced

to the scientific community and most

that are responsible for the evaluation of risk

either the FDA, either in New Zealand or Japan

, BFR in Germany or the FSA in England

Everybody is in agreement with our Gestin

of the risk evaluation and the DJA oms

While DJT DJT: Dose laborer we have established Tolerable

dose effect does not work

Pr Fred vom Saal - Bilogo Columbia University of Missouri

The principle of dose-effect relationship

which is the corollary that "the dose makes the poison

" is completely errneo

this can work for some

but not for any hormone hormones to

to certain hemicals

and for the natural hormones know that

"dbiles dose" can stimulate

while the strong dose inhibit

while strong doses inhibit

dose for hormones never makes the poison

the effects do not worsen systematically

linear curve in Endocrinology

dose effect does not exist

Alexandre Feigenbaum Chief Unit of EFSA CEF

Indeed if one finds scientists

ranging in that studies

supporters of the effect "dose dbiles"

It is an ideology According you "supporters"

means is no cientist?

I do not know, you may think that one

based view favored one has a greater impact on the

hypothesis or unconfirmed? is not possible

To be frank, the response

more modern twis Once the doors

American Association of Cncer whose conservatism

is often criticized but

is a reality established cientfica

a new way to control Products chemicals?

Dr. Michael Thun, epidemiologist Former Vice President American Association of Cncer

is definitely evident for many reasons

First, because there are all

these very interesting research

about "dose effect dbiles"

and for certain types of chemical substances

in particular those having

estrognicos effects numerous studies

showing that there are effects at doses

extremely dbiles, therefore

whole p ocess

determines everything which is reproducible or

are the implications for cancer

are the implications for cancer

It is brand new and second

Principle of Caution seems to have

sense if there is a potential problem

better react immediately to prevent

"Best reacting to prevent"

It means that everything is done

indeed disturbing endocrinianos

represent a large family regrouping

the plastics components

dioxins, PCBs, Teflon

of non-stick pans, food additives

, but also numerous pesticides

All of these products are

a "dbiles dose" in our power supply

and these "dbiles dose" jams have been tested

the same way is not proved possible

Copenhagen is the distance between year and genital part

of the animal, it is twice as long

in the male than in the female, is due

at endrgeno role during development

of the fetal stage, which ms is short

in the male is an indicator that there is a

severe hypospadias congenital malformacin

of the male organs of reproduction

When habamos tested each product separately

habamos he found no

any effect or any malformacin

and when we exposed the male fetus

to a mixture of three substances

note that 60% of them have

pruning later one hypospadias also

malformacin serious in their sexual organs

working on the toxicologist mixtures

because our results say:

zero zero zero mas mas ago 60% of malformations

It's scary what you say above

when we know that every European has

what we call a body load limit

what we observed in rats may

what we observed in rats may

also occur in our bodies?

In fact the big problem is that we know nothing

It is difficult to understand why this

has not been taken into account soon

When you go to the pharmacy to buy drugs

all written in the instructions for use

you have to be careful if one takes

therefore Drug

is very clear that there may be

a combination of effects if one takes

several drugs at the same time

That's why it is not so surprising

we are ahead of the same phenomenon

contaminants chemicals

Everything indicates that the system of Ruling

of chemicals is

at a crucial time and be redone completely

Dbiles effect dose sensitivity particular fetus cocktail effect

while the chronic diseases

do not stop in progress

called developed countries, whose head is the cancer

whose incidence has been multiplied by two

in the course of the last 30 years

According to CIRC figures

As you can even deny

these diseases are linked to the industrial model that characterizes

to modern civilization ?

Christhope Wild, Director of IARC, International Research Center

When the Cncer retrieve its website

and the maps of the cancer is found

that this disease is present above

in the countries called "developed"

for example if we take the breast cancer

in red are the regions where the incidence

is more elevated, is in North Amrica

ms is high, it is in North Amrica

Western Europe, Australia and some in South Amrica

It's the same thing for cancer of the prstata

cancer of the testicles, leukemia

cancer of the brain, thyroid, pulmn

What we know is that between

80% to 90% of the cnceres are due

on lifestyle and environmen

is what studies show

of persons migrate from one region to another

they adopt to put it as

type of cancer in the region where they are installed

in the process of passing the risk factors that lead

to ca cer

of the rich countries to the poorer nations like

weight o erload

obesity, lack of physical activity

It is because these countries adopt our way of life?

If it is because of the change of lifestyle

is foolish, that poisons over da one knows

For me there is no other means of solution for live

in good health to eat right there

The environment and lifestyle

here I have the two main causes of the explosion

of the chronic diseases, of which

the Obesity is the most visible sign

according to official sources 70%

of the U.S. opulation

is overloaded with weight

I could shoot these images being twenty minute

in a supermarket in Houston

In the world of research two schools

ignored while all indicates

that are complementary of one hand researchers who work exclusively

on the environmental origins of chronic diseases

ie the effects of the chemical contamination

the other side are the scientists

who care life style and especially the consequences

Junk ood

based in an excess of fat intake

and sugars and a lack of plant products

Professor at the University of Qubec Richard Bliveau

is

master of thought of the second School, author of over 230

the second school, author of more than 230

publications in journals international medically-

the leads a team of 30 researchers

working on prevention

and treatment of cancer

Pr Richard Bliveau - biochemist University of Qubec

One of the consequences of using

Junk food and industrially processed products

omega-3 molecules generated

anti inflammatory omega-6 molecules generate pro-inflammatory type

a ratio of 1/1 and consumed is farmer or rancher hunter in our history

spent one has a ratio of 1/1

With the industrialization of mostly junk food

that is used contains only omega 6, therefore

fats that come from industry

junk f od,

of the transformation industry are fats that lead to metablico level

an omega 6 omega 3 ratio 25/1

When consumed the feed industry

one gets metabolically fisiolgicamente

and pro-inflammatory mode

in effect orgen of cancer there is always one

one clul attacked by an outside agent

which can be a virus, a chemist product irradiacino a

if the body is in good health

the daada clul is detected by

the NK lymphocyte english "natural killer" natural murderer

that pushes suicide

is what we call apoptosis

n chronicle and aggression

by a chronic inflammation and aggression

standing of chemical agents

apoptosis fails and defective clul

begins to multiply

It is the beginning of tumor that to develop

needs to be nurtured by the network sangunea

this phenomenon is called angiognesis

to the angiognesis trmino leads to creaccin

of metastasis, ie the colonization

cancerous organism by clul

In certain vegetables we eat

one called fruits and vegetables

molecules is also

that pharmacologically have the same effect

certain drugs chemotherapeutic

Some of these molecules are citotxicos

These molecules kill cancer

Some of these molecules are pro-apoptotic

ie they induce clul the cancer to suicide

Some of these molecules are anti inflammatory

they block the inflammation the cancerous clul

need to encourage their development

Then, as is that measure the potential

of inhibicin of a food?

well, we do a bank tumors, human tumors

we can buy and this is the cancer

glioblastoma, cancer of brain we do

grown for 24 to 48 hours

counts the number of cells that have divided

then were exposed to various extracts

food, here we Cherries

carrots, which shows that there is no

inhibicin much but then when

one goes with the garlic, cabbage or brussels

found in cranberry inhibicin 90%

a glioblastoma, when one isolated

these foods when create a cocktail

super anti cancer foods

if you take a mouse which we implant

a human cancer

here is a mouse that has been fed

with mouse chow

Here we take the same mouse

when one is by mouth with cocktail

food the most anticncer we found

in this test well in vitro and have

a reduction of 90%

tumor mass

Gradually I finished assembling

all the pieces of the puzzle

to outline a coherent set

The epidemic of chronic diseases

observed in the world Western is due

to contamination chemistry and particularly

the mode of transformation of production mode

our food where effects

of revolution agrcola and agrifood

combine to form a explosive cocktail

An example: India, according to the CIRC

20 the incidence of the most common cnceres

in the state of Orissa in the south west pas

the cnceres are almost nonexistent to the exception of that

mouth due to masticacin

of snuff in this very rural region is ignored

essentially namely fruits and vegetables

produce grown without pesticides they consume daily

turmeric, the yellow powder that forms the basis of curry

known since the dawn of time

its anti inflammatory, so I

anticancergeno have been confirmed in more than 3000 scientific publications

I do with urmeric?

Make a curry and then eats or applies

on the body everything is good

you can mix in a glass of water every morning

and a dozen microbes morirn

and will not have the skin irritations

or chickenpox, is very good for all

disea e,

cows can eat men can eat goats can eat

the cat can eat

There are obese people in his village?

In the village is my nephew who is the fattest

is one of the most fat people

But he is not obese

All there is even a little fat person

There are people who cancer have in town?

No, o

know what is cancer?

The cancer? is a disease?

When the person reaches the body

dies in 3 6 months

Not far at all Bhubaneswar, the capital

Not far at all Bhubaneswar, the capital

Orissa Society of India Cncer has a symposium of

International in collaboration with the Institute

Anderson of Houston, one of the most large

research centers of cancer in the world

The theme of this third edition is called

"Cncer and inflammation" They speak of course

specificity of India that is

in the process of disappearing particularly

in the state of Punjab the cradle of the Revolution

Green but also of large metropolos

mode is adopted where Western life

Prof. Arvind Chaturvedi, Director of Research Institute in New Delhi

During my exposure to them talk of evolution

world of cancer, in the Western world

the cancer that has the highest prevalence

it is for the woman breast

and for the man prstata

life of our country

where the incidence of the disease is increasing

is not even as high as in Western countries

but will increase in reason change

the lifestyle and food habits

If we do not take into account the lesson

to pay a very high price, the answer is simple

no chemicals ontaminants

is simply not the polluting chemicals

not processed food

a healthy life with biological food

no red meat alcohol, snuff

smoking or chewing etc.

"Let your food be your remedy and your medicine your food "

If good morning, Marie-Monique Robin I made a request for an interview

You Rehus, but everyone wanted to be sure anyway of opinion did not change

Well, no change of opinion
