Nanotechnology, What’s In Your…???

For those of you having problems reading this text, please place your cursor over the text and hold down the control key on your keyboard, (CTRL), and with the wheel of your mouse, roll the wheel towards yourself. This will increase the text size.

While our government continues to poison the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the earth that sustains us, the FDA and EPA goes about saying,”this is good for you!” What kind of idiots they take us for is another discussion all together. For now I’ll just focus on information.

Nanotechnology is an experimental process. It is manipulating matter at 1/100th of the size of a human hair. That’s pretty small. Imagine, if you can, how something this small can affect your environment? Imagine, if you can, how it can affect your body? At this size, the nanites can slip right in through your skin, getting into your body, and doing whatever it is that nanites do. And if they are somewhere they were never intended to be, what are the consequences of this???

If they stay where there are supposed to be, all COULD be well, who knows, but if they don’t, we have absolutely NO idea what they are capable of. But the FDA and the EPA approves of their use in food, in plastics, in clothing, etc. No long term studies have been done because this technology is so very new. So how does the FDA or EPA know it is safe? They really don’t…

There is no regulation on nanotechnology so products with these minute critters in them hit the market on an almost daily basis with no regulation at all and no need to tell the public either. That’s a scary thought if you think about it. And what happens when these critters get inside the human body? Apparently no one cares… Certainly NOT the FDA or even the EPA. Not that we are surprised by this utter lack of foresight or even oversight. We have a dangerous government right now and our world is going to pay for it in ways we cannot even imagine right now. What will the world be like that our children or children’s children inherit?

It isn’t bad enough we have frankenfoods to deal with, that is genetically modified foods or GM. Most of the seeds from these products are either sterile so that you have to buy seed every year or Monsanto will hit you with a law suit if you try to replant. But now we have yet another threat to us and our environment, nanites, something that scientists are hush hush about. WHY?

If you are still so naive as to believe your government is here to protect you, let me direct you to some articles that will open your eyes a bit. These articles will show that no one knows what is going on with these particles and those who do aren’t saying…

Groups Demand EPA Stop Sale Of 200+ Potentially Dangerous Nano-Silver Products

The above article has to do with pesticides that we all use. Yup, spray that stuff on your food, on your yard, and then go and use them and what happens to you??? Read the article.

Big Worries About Micro Particles

The next “it” product is here. Some of you sleep on it. Some of you slap it on cuts. Some of you clean with it. Some babies suck on it. A few people study it, wondering if “it” will be an environmental and health disaster.

Nanotechnology Could Revolutionise Food

How do you fancy tucking into a bowl of ice cream that has no more fat than a carrot? Or eating a burger that will lower your cholesterol? If you are allergic to peanuts, perhaps you’d like to fix your food so that any nut traces pass harmlessly through your body. Welcome to the world of nanofoods, where almost anything is possible: where food can be manipulated at an atomic or molecular level to taste as delicious as you want, do you as much good as you want, and stay fresh for … well, who knows?

Sweating the Small Stuff

IT SEEMS like a Willy Wonka fantasy, but right now food companies are using nanotechnology to create all sorts of bizarre products.

Milk cartons that glow when their contents turn sour. A sinful-tasting, non-fat ice-cream with loads of fibre, protein and nutrients. Programmable soft drinks, even (simply select the flavour and pull the tab)…

Risks of Nanotechnology Remain Uncertain

Toxicology experiments on nanomaterials often seem to run the same way: put some nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, quantum dots, or other kind of nanosized structures in a petri dish, water column, soil sample, or lab test tube of choice. Then expose daphnids, microbes, zebrafish, pig lung cells, human skin cells, or other model organisms to the new and exciting materials. Sit back and see what happens.

Alert Over The March of The ‘Grey Goo’ in Nanotechnology Frankenfoods

A breed of Frankenfood is being introduced into human diet and cosmetics with potentially disastrous consequences, experts said last night. Academics, consumer groups and Government officials are warning that the arrival of nanotechnology threatens dangerous changes to the body and the environment.

Synthetic DNA on the Brink of Yielding New Life Forms

Until recently even the most sophisticated laboratories could make only small snippets of DNA — an extra gene or two to be inserted into corn plants, for example, to help the plants ward off insects or tolerate drought. Now researchers are poised to cross a dramatic barrier: the creation of life forms driven by completely artificial DNA.

Are you starting to see the problem here? For more articles, MANY more articles, go here:

Science, and Scientists, seem to be going overboard without any checks and balances. Having no idea of the true cost to the environment, people’s health, or the resultant mutations that will eventually grow out of this. No checks and balances have been installed. This is technology running away with itself. One has to wonder if this was how Atlantis destroyed itself, they say it is…

Health problems that were rare or didn’t exist 20 years ago are reaching epidemic proportions and yet they are blamed on lots of innocuous things. Things like avian flu, global warming, etc. Species are becoming extinct at alarming rates, but they blame it on human population growth. But is that really the case? Could it be science that is causing these extinctions?

Morality and moral decisions seem to be for everyone else, not those who are engineering our DNA with machines they cannot control and have no idea what the long term consequences of their actions may be. Science for the sake of science is all well and good so long as it is not unleashed on an unsuspecting population. But it is, and they are…

No one is accountable, least of all those big corporations making a killing off the technology. The EPA and FDA aren’t here to protect you regardless of their supposed mandates. The evidence of their failures to protect the public interest is overwhelming and incalculable. Nor is Congress doing anything to stop this madness. They too are getting fat off the money being spent to make sure that the technology is spread and the consequences be damned. Full speed ahead… damn the torpedoes…
