FDA Stuns Scientists again, Declares Mercury in Fish to be Safe for Infants, Children

    In a truly astonishing betrayal of public safety (even for the FDA), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration today revoked its warning about mercury in fish, saying that eating mercury-contaminated fish no longer poses any health threat to children, pregnant women, nursing mothers and infants.

    Last week, the FDA declared trace levels of melamine to be safe in infant formula. A few weeks earlier, it said the plastics chemical Bisphenol-A was safe for infants to drink. Now it says children can eat mercury, too. Is there any toxic substance in the food that the FDA thinks might be dangerous? (Aspartame, MSG, sodium nitrite and now mercury…)

    This FDA decision on mercury in fish has alarmed EPA scientists who called it “scientifically flawed and inadequate,” reports the Washington Post. Even better, the Environmental Working Group (www.EWG.org) issued a letter to the EPA, saying “It’s a commentary on how low FDA has sunk as an agency. It was once a fierce protector of America’s health, and now it’s nothing more than a patsy for polluters.”

    Is anyone really surprised? The FDA is a drug-pushing, people-betraying, scientifically illiterate criminal organization that, time and time again, seeks only to protect the profits of powerful corporations whose products poison the people. This statement is no longer a mere opinion. It is an observable fact based on the FDA’s own pattern of behavior and its outlandish decisions that predictably betray the American public.

    The real reason this is happening

    You want to know the REAL reason the FDA is easing up on its warning about mercury in fish?

    Hah, that's why they put some in vaccines and fillings in your mouth. So you can taste that mercury goodness that destroys your brain.

    That's really the tip of the ice burg of the poisons we get peddled too. Ask your doctor for a flu shot without mercury and I bet they don't have any. It's one thing for the gov to say it's okay to sell tainted flu shots and another to have the medical cartel set up so I can't even get a mercury free flu shot where I live. I got my youngest vaccinated this year though and my family doctor had mercury free vaccines for him.
