Cancer strawberries coming to the produce aisle

By Dr. William Campbell Douglass on 07/23/2010

Think strawberries are expensive now? Wait until they start costing people
their lives!
California is about to sign off on an insane plan that would allow farmers
to use one of the world’s most dangerous chemicals as a pesticide on
strawberry plants.

It’s called methyl iodide, and even some chemists won’t go near it. It’s
such a powerful and reliable carcinogen that researchers use it to induce
cancer in lab animals.

But go ahead, take a bite. California says it’s OK — and never mind the
five Nobel-winning chemists and dozens of other experts who’ve written a
letter begging the EPA to keep this poison out of strawberry fields,
forever.

Who do you believe — a roomful of Nobel winners and their trusted
colleagues, or a bunch of politically motivated bureaucrats?

This toxic monster has been linked to thyroid tumors, nerve damage, and
brain and lung problems. It’s also been known to cause miscarriages in lab
animals — when it’s not being used to give them cancer.

No wonder it’s such a great pesticide — it can destroy just about anything.
The pests don’t stand a chance… and neither do you if you get too close to
this poison.

Experts say a good breeze can even send methyl iodide airborne… and if you
think U.S. groundwater is bad now, wait until this junk starts seeping in.

Think I’m exaggerating? I’m the last person to give in to pesticide fears –
because in many cases, those fears have been either exaggerated or
completely unfounded.

Just look at DDT, an innocent victim of left-wing fear mongering. If it
hadn’t been banned due to some trumped-up nonsense, we wouldn’t be having
these debates over newer and more powerful chemicals today… because we
wouldn’t need them!
But instead, the Frankenstein labs of the chemical industry have been
working overtime, churning out new and more frightening creations — and
methyl iodide is their crowning achievement.
