Petrochemicals In Foods?
« on: October 13, 2010, 07:32:17 PM »
  Do the petrochemicals they use to dissolve the pesticides for application in foods appear in the food? That is very bad. Petrochemicals increase oxidative stress. Can anyone answer me this question?

If you know the answer, please share; I'd like to know myself.

IMO it's exaggeration. Maybe some chemicals may appear but the traces would be very insignificant.

  I believe that petrochemical residues in food from the solvents they use to dissolve the pesticides are responsible for a lot of the pathologies we see in people today, from multiple sclerosis and intestinal cancer to Alzheimer's, but I have no studies, causal evidence or data to support what I am contending. Maybe you guys can help me find out data for this ok.

Sounds like a reasonable speculation to me.

Perhaps such evidence has become "lost" somewhere along the way...

  Are you implying that the universities that do research on this matter with funds from petrochemical/pesticide manufacturers and the government, composed of officials who receive campaign funds from such corporations, would lie to us?! Oh noes! Harvard and the U.S government would never lie to the American people like that!

Yes.
According to our govt., bug poison is okay, but Ephedra is not.

  Lmao, the federal government actually approves malathion for indoor use. Can you believe that? It has been shown to cause not only brain damage in adults from increased oxidative stress and cholinergic excitotoxicity, but also malformation on fetuses. And yet, the government says it's ok to use it on plants inside the house where a pregnant woman is living. Incredible. And yet, a relatively non-androgenic steroid with little side effects, like oxandrolone, and which harms no one but the person who is using it, is a Shedule III controlled substance.

  They just found n-hexane residues in most soy products available to consumers. The lowest residues were in soybean oil at around 10 PPM. N-hexane is a highly neurotoxic aliphatic hydrocarbon know to cause peripheral neuropathy by destroying l-lysine in nervous tissue which causes cross-linking of nervous proteins, which is utilized to extract soy protein and oil from soy. It is not likely that the extremely small amounts of n-hexane would cause peripheral nervous damage, but the chronic ingestion of it in these incredibly small amounts might result in damage after many years of consumption. If it weren't enough that soy is already poison, it has the added bonus of neurotoxic petroleum products on it! Great! Even though this is almost a non-issue for me since I don't eat soy, I am not taking vitamin E anymore because it uses soybean oil as a vehicle and I don't want to take any chances. Now if we could only remove the n-hexane that is already in the air due to gasoline usage.... :(

I wonder if the agencies that approve this even consider "chronic" (regular) ingestion over time as opposed to the amount contained in one serving...

Can you please send me the source of this study?
I'd like to forward it to some of my friends who are big soy fans.
