    the Big Lie from BigChem is that BigPesticide produces higher yields.
    BigPesticide is in cahoots with BigPharma

    Now you're just reciting buzzwords. Insecticide doesn't come from big chemical companies. It's old and off patent. Generics all around. Sometimes I wonder if you're not a person but a program that's not capable of an original coherent response. It would explain a lot.

    So you just mix it and spray? I am putting together a pepper garden and my main concern was keeping bugs off. I want to plant jalapeños, serranos, etc. but I didn't want to waste time and money if they were just going to be eaten up.
    Yep.

    Dont have peppers this year but it has done a good job on tomatoes.
    Looks like the tomato hornworm is not bothered by it. I can usually just find those bas s and crush them between my teeth.

    I against some vaccines that are mostly useless, other are very effective (at least for a while)

    I assume you feeding your animals unnatural feedstock and various carb instead of their natural diet of only grasses.
    Which suggested vaccines are useless?

    Thanks for relying on herd immunity to protect yourself. And when you don't get the flu (like me), and spread the virus to some child (not me I get vaccinated anyway NOW), give yourself a big pat on the back knowing you screwed big pharma.

    Selfish bas .

    GFY. seasonal vaccines for healthy people are a BigPharma milch cow. Even vaccine-pusher CDC says they are ineffective. viruses mutate, so this year's vaccines are for last year's virusus, not the new ones this year, etc, etc.

    Total and utter BS. You don't know how to read these articles.

    You are selfish and rely on the rest of the population to protect your ass.
    You are a liberal and understand you could give the flu to a young kid or an old person and kill them due to your ignorance. Amazing.

    Last year in Texas the trivalent vaccine missed a major flu causing virus yet STILL made the symptoms much milder. The quadravalent vaccine had it covered. #research. So it worked. Pharma way overcharges people that can afford the vaccine. This is definitely true. So knowing that the poor can get the flu vaccine free YOU WOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE IN YOUR KNOWLEDGE ADVISING THEM NOT TO VACCINATE.

    You are seriously the poster child for the liberal gone nuts... You know the John Stewart skit on this, it's you.

    No.

    I cant. His misunderstanding and disingenuous twisting of Science needs to be exposed on all levels. Just like the anti evolution nuts we have on this board. Cept boots is, in all practicality, more dangerous to others around him.

    DuPont Caught Covering Up Deadly Risks of Chemical that’s in Nearly Everything & Everyone

    Thousands of people have filed lawsuits against DuPont for poisoning them with a chemical that causes birth defects, multiple types of cancer, and death. According to internal DuPont do ents and emails, the company knew about the health risks to their employees and local communities but covered up the data in order to increase their profit margin. After decades of dumping this toxic chemical into the ocean, rivers, landfills, and the air, DuPont has contaminated the bloodstream of nearly every American with this non-biodegradable chemical.

    In 1946, Teflon was introduced with an essential ingredient known as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) or C8. For several decades, DuPont and seven other corporations contaminated the U.S. by using C8 in hundreds of products, including Gore-Tex and other waterproof clothing; coatings for eyeglasses and tennis rackets; stain-proof coatings for carpets and furniture; bicycle lubricants; communications cables; fast food wrappers; fire-fighting foam; microwave popcorn bags; pizza boxes, ski wax; non-stick cookware; and satellite components.

    According to internal DuPont do ents, an employee named R.A. ison noted in 1954 receiving an inquiry into the possible toxicity of C8. Seven years later, a group of in-house researchers discovered that C8 was toxic and should be handled with extreme care. However, DuPont decided not to disclose this information to its own employees. Over the years, DuPont scientists have conducted experiments exposing dogs, rats, rabbits, monkeys, and humans to varying doses of C8, which killed many of the lab animals.


    During the first trimester of her pregnancy, former DuPont employee Sue Bailey was transferred to the Teflon division at the Parkersburg plant in 1980. Her son, Bucky, was born with tear duct deformities, only one nostril, an eyelid that started down by his nose, and a condition known as keyhole pupil. According to a recent article in The Intercept, at least one of eight babies born to women who worked in the Teflon division had birth defects.


    While on maternity leave, Bailey received a phone call from a DuPont doctor asking if her baby had any birth defects. Before Bailey returned to work, she learned that DuPont decided to remove all female employees from the Teflon division.

    When Bailey returned to work and visited the plant doctor, Dr. Younger Lovelace Power told her that Bucky’s birth defects were not caused by C8 and also told Bailey that the company had no record of her working in the Teflon division.

    Why Eating Meat in America Is Like Going on a Trip to the Drug Store


    Most of the meat Americans eat is banned in other industrialized countries.

    chicken giant Sanderson Farms for falsely marketing its products as “100% Natural” even though it contains many unnatural and even prohibited substances. Sanderson chicken products tested positive for the antibiotic chloramphenical, banned in food animals, and amoxicillin, not approved for use in poultry production. Sanderson Farms products also tested positive for residues of steroids, hormones, anti-inflammatory drugs and even ketamine, a drug with hallucinogenic effects.

    The New York Times reported that most chicken feather-meal samples examined in one study contained Tylenol, one-third contained the antihistamine Benadryl, and samples from China actually contained Prozac. The FDA has caught hatcheries injecting antibiotics directly into chicken eggs. Tyson Foods was caught injecting eggs with the dangerous human antibiotic gentamicin.

    The Natural Resources Defense Council has reported the presence of the potentially dangerous herbs fo-ti, lobelia, kava kava and black cohosh in the U.S. food supply as well as strong the antihistamine hydroxyzine. Most of the ingredients are from suppliers in China.

    Because the activities of Animal Pharma are so underreported, few Americans realize that most of the meat they eat is banned in other industrialized countries. One example is ractopamine, a controversial growth-promoting asthma-like drug marketed as Optaflexx for cattle, Paylean for pigs, and Topmax for turkeys and banned in the European Union, China and more than 100 other countries.

    Also used in U.S. meat production is Zilmax, a Merck drug similar to ractopamine that the FDA linked to 285 cattle deaths during six years of administration. Seventy-five animals lost hooves, 94 developed pneumonia and 41 developed bloat in just two years, Reuters reported.

    The European Union boycotts the U.S.' hormone-grown beef.

    They routinely used synthetic hormones zeranol, trenbolone acetate and melengestrol acetate pose "increased risks of breast cancer and prostate cancer," says the European Commission's Scientific Committee on Veterinary Measures.

    "Consumption of beef derived from Zeranol-implanted cattle may be a risk factor for breast cancer," according to an article in the journal Anticancer Research.

    The European Union has also traditionally boycotted U.S. chickens because they are dipped in chlorine baths

    Other germ-killing or germ-re ing chemicals routinely used in U.S. food production include nitrites and nitrates in processed meat (declared carcinogens by the World Health Organization in 2016), the parasiticide formalin legally used in shrimp production, and carbon monoxide to keep meat looking red in the grocery store no matter how old it really is.

    Many thought public revulsion at the ammonia puffs used to discourage E. Coli growth in the notorious beef-derived “pink slime” in 2012 forced the product into retirement.

    According to the Center for Food Safety, Animal Pharma uses over 450 animal drugs, drug combinations and other feed additives “to promote growth of the animals and to suppress the negative effects that heavily-concentrated confinement has on farm animals.”

    “growth production” had been removed from labels but the drugs are still routinely used for the new indication of “disease prevention.”

    a Reuters investigation found Tyson Foods, Pilgrim’s Pride, Perdue Farms, George’s and Koch Foods using antibiotics “more pervasively than regulators realize.” Pilgrim’s Pride’s feed mill records show the antibiotics bacitracin and monensin are added “to every ration fed to a flock grown early this year.” (Pilgrim’s Pride threatened legal action against Reuters for its finding.) Also caught red-handed using antibiotics, despite denying it on their website, was Koch Foods, a supplier to Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants.

    U.S. chickens continue to be fed with inorganic arsenic to produce quicker weight gain with less food (the same reason antibiotics are given) despite some public outcry a few years ago. Arsenic is also given to turkeys, hogs and chickens for enhanced color. Such use “contribute[s] to arsenic exposure in the U.S. population,”

    Drug use in food animals will get worse, not better

    There are two reasons drug residues in food animals will soon grow worse not better. In exchange for China agreeing to accept U.S. beef after a long hiatus, the U.S. agreed to import cooked chickens from China. China’s food safety record is abysmal including rat meat sold as lamb, gutter oil sold as cooking oil, baby formula contaminated with melamine and frequent bird flu epidemics. Globalization dangers already exist with seafood, most of which comes from countries that use chemicals and drugs banned in the U.S.

    The second reason is the U.S. meat industry’s increasing move toward privatization and corporate self-policing—phasing out U.S. meat inspectors in favor of the “honor system.” USDA’s “New Poultry Inspection System” (NPIS) shamelessly allows poultry producers to switch to a voluntary program that allows for non-government poultry inspections. Such privatization deals are the wave of the future as federal meat inspectors are ignored and phased out by the government.

    After all, we are living with an administration that sees regulations as nothing more than an impediment to Big Ag’s cheap meat agenda.

    BigCorp poisons plant foods, too. From a newsletter...
    =================


    "California has a major opportunity to ban a dangerous pesticide that damages children's brains, sickens farmworkers and communities living near farms, and is unsafe at any level.

    Chlorpyrifos is sprayed on fruits and vegetables like strawberries, broccoli, apples, and oranges, and

    it gets absorbed into the food -- which means that it can't simply be rinsed off.

    When pregnant mothers have been exposed to chlorpyrifos, it’s been linked to autism, lower birth weight, and developmental delays in cognition, motor control, and attention in their children.

    Exposure to chlorpyrifos can cause seizures, coma, and death. In May, the pesticide sickened 47 farmworkers in California.

    Donald Trump stopped the Environmental Protection Agency from banning chlorpyrifos earlier this year,

    When I spray any sort of insecticide there is a pretty good chance I get sick. The way it's been described to me is that the insecticide s are the worst for health. Fungicides are second and herbicides are the least likely to make an applicator ill. I'd imagine the soap is not killing the insects but it's leaving an icky film on the plant. You are eating soap basically.Lots of insecticides kill on contact but leave no residual action behind.
    Soap definitely kills the stink bugs that probe tomatoes and aphids. Soap is too basic for them I think. I have not watched if direct contact kills all the types of caterpillars. I might keep some caterpillars and grow them to moths like I used to, except spray them and watch. Only problem is I gotta go out of town for work too much and my wife is starting to refuse to help with my experiments. Imagine that...
    Yeah soap definitely kills some some bugs but can burn plants too. Kaolin clay works pretty good at keeping the pests off of the plants. It doesn't kill anything just leaves a milky residue on the plant that bugs don't like. Goes by the name Surround WP

    Sperm counts among western men have halved in last 40 years – study

    Reasons for the ‘shocking’ drop are unclear, say researchers, and represent a huge and neglected area of public health

    research suggesting

    links to body weight,

    a lack of
    physical activity,

    smoking, and

    exposure of pregnant women to chemicals found in myriad household products, known as
    endocrine disruptors.

    there is cause for concern around male reproductive function, pointing out that rates of testicular cancer are on the rise,

    https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/jul/25/sperm-counts-among-western-men-have-halved-in-last-40-years-study?mc_cid=0e4be9d2e5&mc_eid=47e367557b


    ===============

    My guess is that lowered sperm counts, plus the apparent need for so many younger med to use hardeners, increasing rates of pre-term births, hypospadias, decreases infant male AGD that we, industrial societies, are being poisoned by BigChem and BigFood.

    That's a bunch of extremely fundamental biology increasingly ed up.

    A FDA-registered food safety laboratory tested iconic American food for residues of the weed killer glyphosate (aka Monsanto’s Roundup) and found ALARMING amounts.

    Just to give you an idea of how outrageous these amounts are,

    independent research shows that probable harm to human health begins at really low levels of exposure – at only 0.1 ppb of glyphosate.

    Many foods were found to have over 1,000 times this amount! Well above what regulators throughout the world consider “safe”.

    There is a ton of research that also shows it is NOT carcinogenic.
    Give me ANY research that shows how this compound interacts with DNA.

    It is nothing like any of the drugs/compounds that do chemically react with DNA in humans. It's structured completely wrong. The compound glycophophate inhibits plants from making amino acids important in producing protein. By interacting with a specific enzyme (that is a protein boots) contained in plant types that grow very rapidly (broadleaf weeds) . Which have in a number of cases become resistant to the compound which is a big problem.

    So now we are going to make it carcinogenic because of other problems associated with it. Not even close to being conclusive. And just not structured properly to really be alarming. More testing...

    Plastic fibres found in tap water around the world, study reveals

    Exclusive: Tests show billions of people globally are drinking water contaminated by plastic particles, with 83% of samples found to be polluted

    The US had the highest contamination rate, at 94%, with plastic fibres found in tap watersampled at sites including Congress buildings, the US Environmental Protection Agency’s headquarters, and Trump Tower in New York.

    Lebanon and India had the next highest rates.


    European nations including the UK, Germany and France had the lowest contamination rate, but this was still 72%. The average number of fibres found in each 500ml sample ranged from 4.8 in the US to 1.9 in Europe.



    The new analyses indicate the ubiquitous extent of microplastic contamination in the global environment. Previous work has been largely focused on plastic pollution in the oceans, which suggests people are eating microplastics via contaminated seafood.

    “We have enough data from looking at wildlife, and the impacts that it’s having on wildlife, to be concerned,” said Dr Sherri Mason, a microplastic expert at the State University of New York in Fredonia, who supervised the analyses for Orb.

    “If it’s impacting [wildlife], then how do we think that it’s not going to somehow impact us?”

    This is UK, but there no reason to think this doesn't exist in USA


    tail of pesticide residues in fruit and vegetables given to schoolchildren



    Traces of 123 pesticides, including those linked to cancer, hormone disruption and damage to brain development, have been found in fresh produce supplied to primary school children through a government scheme aimed at promoting healthy eating habits.


    The research analysed the government’s own data from regular testing of fruit and vegetables by the Expert Committee on Pesticide Residues in Food (PRiF).

    In two thirds of the samples tested, residues of more than one pesticide were detected, with some individual samples containing as many as thirteen different chemicals.
