I just managed to see the last 15 minutes or so of the 'Tonight with Trevor McDonald' programme on British TV. It concerned young children under 12 who had their blood tested and it was found they all had (at least those I saw) high levels of toxic chemicals in their blood. One family ate organic produce and were generally the "healthy" type and yet their daughter had the highest levels of certain chemicals than others in the study.
A toxicologist said that although the chemicals were high we shouldn't worry too much as they are TWICE AS HIGH IN THE USA!!!
The chemicals are being taken in by children from diet and general every day substances and, for the first time ever, I heard a toxicologist actually say the current situation is why we have a cancer epidemic on our hands! I've been saying for some time we've got an epidemic because some years back one in ten people contracted cancer and then it went up to one in five. It is now one in three - and it is expected to reach one in two!!!
The programme ended by the narrator stating: "We are the guineapig generation." In other words, we alive today are being subjected to poisons all around us and something will only be done when enough of us are really sick. Well, as a cancer sufferer myself I think it will be difficult to reverse the trend as simple items like toothpaste, soap, shampoo and everyday food may all contain contaminents. For the present, there's just no way of getting away from them!
