The Tragic Mistake That Now Threatens 1 Out of Every 3 Bites You Eat

The Tragic Mistake That Now Threatens 1 Out of Every 3 Bites You Eat | YOUR FOOD, YOUR HEALTH: Latest on BiotechFood, GMOs, Pesticides, Chemicals, CAFOs, Industrial Food | Scoop.it
From articles.mercola.com - April 22, 2012 3:48 AM

The documentary film "Vanishing of the Bees" unveils the phenomenon called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) and the real causes of bee death all over the U.S."

The danger of accumulated pesticides in the environment and the lack of USA federal agency oversight in favor of manufacturers's studies without independent review is a major cause for concern.  90% of food we eat is treated with pesticides, over a billion pounds of these toxic chemicals are used annually on the huge agricultural western monocrop farms.

Before releasing these highly toxic chemicals into our environment, a responsible nation would ensure that independent interdisciplinary studies are carried out to determine affects on both our ecosystems AND human health.

OUR CHEMICAL-LADEN WORLD: Are the Bees the Canary in the Coal Mine for Human Health and Well Being

OUR CHEMICAL-LADEN WORLD: Are the Bees the Canary in the Coal Mine for Human Health and Well Being | YOUR FOOD, YOUR HEALTH: Latest on BiotechFood, GMOs, Pesticides, Chemicals, CAFOs, Industrial Food | Scoop.it
From www.economist.com - April 1, 2012 5:03 AM

IN THE winter of 2006 beekeepers in America noticed something odd—lots of their hives were dying for no obvious reason." And the pesticide/chemical industry is still in denial.

Evidence is growing that commonly used pesticides, even when employed carefully, are bad for bees (and us?)

(It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that as bees move from flower to flower they are gathering more and more of these toxic chemicals.  Their little immune systems can't handle it and this weakness makes them vulnerable to all sorts of viruses and illness. Beyond this, we humans eat the honey they work so hard to make.  Connecting the dots could it be that the same pesticides sprayed on the food we eat be a cause for the massive alzheimers epidemic also? pdjmoo)
