BPA is commonly found in plastic food containers. This becomes especially problematic when the food is heated while still inside of the plastic. The same can be said for plastic water bottles which become heated above ambient room temperature (leaving bottles on the inside of vehicles in summer months can easily produce this effect). Nearly all food-grade aluminum cans currently produced include a thin plastic liner within the cans. Once filled and sealed, the food cans are then significantly heated to both cook the food product and to kill any remaining bacteria within the can. This process releases tremendous amounts of BPA into the foodstuff, such that test subjects having consumed one 12 ounce can of soup can easily register as high as 1900 times FDA safe BPA levels in urine samples.

BPA toxicity in humans is cumulative. Deleterious effects of BPA toxicity include disruption and irreversible damage to reproductive systems in both male and female humans and lab animals. Lab animal studies using rats have commonly found total sterility rates in male specimens in as little as one generation. Further effects of BPA toxicity in humans include ‘feminization’ of young boys. BPA is an estrogen mimicker which wreaks havoc within otherwise healthy hormonal systems. BPA toxicity has been linked with sexual identity confusion, especially in young boys. BPA is a carcinogen and is linked with several types of cancer, but is most commonly linked with breast cancer. BPA toxicity has also been proven to cause type one (insulin-dependent) diabetes.

"The United States is the only developed nation to permit humans to drink milk from cows given artificial growth hormone. BGH was banned from use in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and all European Union countries (currently numbering 27), by 2000 or earlier." --Wikipedia

In the United States, public opinion has caused a number of products and retailers to become BGH-free. As with genetically modified foodstuffs (covered below), the key to buying only BGH-free milk and milk products is to buy and consume only items marked organic or ‘certified organic’. The thing to remember whenever you are paying the standard 30% increase for organic over non-organic food items, is that in this case it is what you are not getting that you are paying for. ‘Organic’ is a sort of code word for NON-GMO (non-genetically modified organism). This means that the DNA of the food products you are paying for has not been tampered with by nefarious agencies like Monsanto Corporation. In the United States, it is against FDA regulations to include the words "NON-GMO" or similar wording or phrases on any product packaging or labels. This last point cannot be over-emphasized and should effectively demonstrate the nature of the system in this case. The FDA does not have your best interests in mind when they restrict such practices as labeling food products non-GMO. Some smaller food producers have begun to buck the system and to include "NON-GMO" on their labels, despite any rules or regulations prohibiting the practice. But the easiest way to insure that you are buying only non-GMO products is to pay the extra 30% (on average) for organic-only products.

Genetically engineered crops and produce are arguably the most horrifying health-hazard ever to have reared its ugly head against the human race -- and it is completely self-inflicted. The name of the game, so we are told, is to alter seeds for food crops such that the seeds will produce a heartier and more robust crop, resistant to the elements and less susceptible to crop-failure. Sounds good so far, right? But the thing to remember about the ‘beast-system’ under which we all currently live is that it does not act against the people without providing perfectly plausible-sounding and seemingly benign explanations for its activities. Whenever the system acts, it does not fail to provide the needed cover-story for its activities. Whatever the various explanations, what good can come from genetic alteration? We all know how this game ends; historically, once the unintended consequences have made their untimely entrance onto the world stage, we will have long since passed the point of no return.

One new and alarming aspect of these altered crops is the fact that many of them actually contain within their DNA an artificially developed pesticide. With some of these engineered crops, rather than having to spray chemical pesticides, farmers who utilize GM seed simply watch as insects which dine on their produce fall to the ground dead. More, wild animals won’t go near any of these GM crops. That’s right – the animals know not to eat this poison, but it’s perfectly okay (and FDA approved) for you and your children to consume.

As with the cumulative effects of BPA and BGH in human subjects, the effects of GMO crops on human health appear to be targeted to cause reproductive harm, as well as numerous cancers. Notice that I didn’t mince words here. These crops have been designed specifically to destroy the health, over time, of any one unlucky enough (either through ignorance, imprudence or, YHVH forbid, necessity) to consume them regularly.

The following is a rudimentary list which will give the reader a brief overview of the most commonly modified and widely utilized crops :

A few other common GMO crops include white sugar derived from sugar beets, most staple potato crops, cotton crops and all canola crops (this means that all cooking oils which contain canola, cottonseed, corn, or any blend of these three, are GMO-based products and are a health hazard).

If you regularly eat beef, unless you are purchasing organic-only you are consuming beef injected with high levels of antibiotics (linked to the obesity epidemic) and BGH. Non-organic chickens are fed an arsenic-laced GMO feed. Chicken waste is routinely included as an ingredient in cattle feed. Unless otherwise specified, all factory-farmed cattle consume GMO feed.

The above information is intended as an initial eye-opener in the event that the followers of the Way, the Truth and the Life have yet to learn the details about any of the myriad attacks by the ruling scientific dictatorship against the health and wellbeing of the population at large. Once any investigation into these matters is begun, the investigation will not conclude; it will only become an ongoing learning process. While we still have such resources as the internet and alternative media at our disposal, it would be the height of irresponsibility for us to neglect to use these resources to our advantage. Willful ignorance has long since ceased being an option. Not only can what we don’t know hurt us; what we don’t know can kill us. Many of you are parents and grandparents. Please do not fail to look into this information on your own if you have not done so already. This warning is ignored at far too great an expense.
