The local grocery stores are selling us foods that contain dangerous poisons. Yet these foods do not have any warning label of any sort.
We are buying and consuming foods that contain cyanide, formaldehyde and many other deadly poisons. These are terrifying facts we should all be aware of, yet no one has made any effort to warn us.
Want to know more? There is cyanide in almonds. Pesticides are not the reason almonds have cyanide. Cyanide naturally occurs in almonds. Cyanide is a naturally occurring chemical, generally considered to be poisonous if consumed in large enough amounts. Cyanide is also in lima beans, apples, spinach and many other fruits and vegetables.
Formaldehyde naturally occurs in pears and many other fruits.
These facts could be very terrifying to anyone that is unable to put such statistics into perspective. The anti-fluoride group is unable to put statistics and dosages into perspective. Jim Forleo said, “even a little poison in our drinking water is unacceptable!” (Herald, Mar. 21).
If you were to eat over 65 pounds of almonds within a 24-hour period, the amount of cyanide would kill you, yet no one has ever informed us of this danger.
More importantly, recent studies have shown that anyone who ever eats a pear will die. This is definitive and conclusive. If you eat a pear you will die. Maybe not right away. It usually takes decades and in some cases it even takes well over half a century, but you will die. Yet no one has informed us consumers of this terrifying fact.
Should these facts be released to the public? I say not to people that are unable to put them into perspective. The anti-fluoride group is unable to put facts and statistics into perspective.
