Thank you for this very informative article. I think, we, as parents are responsible for this. Keep an eye on our children so they won’t be in danger.

As a mom with many food sensitivities and alleriges and one very scary episode of life threatening anaphylaxis I am very concerned about my children who also have many food sensitivities, and one has lupus, an autoimmune disease. Trying to find food without soy (my daughter and I have a lot of gastric distress when consumed) in it is next to impossible, especially when you live in small town. There are fewer options here than in the big cities. So I find myself putting up with the discomfort caused by the soy ingredient because I can’t find a loaf of bread that doesn’t contain it. It is extremely frustrating.

I just started reading Unhealthy Truth and I am fascinated, I am only half way through the book but had to check out your website. Thank you for bringing all of this to the attention of the masses and for all of your hard work and research trying to expose the hidden evil in food that we took for granted that was safe to eat.

It is disappointing that chemical companies don’t take responsibility for the impact they are having on their own children and families… that dollars continue to override integrity and that these chemicals impacting our families are also hurting the families of the people making money off of them…I would be interested to know if they allow their children to eat products they have had a hand in…

I love the African greeting “how are the children”… our children our sick, as are we, and it is time that we all stand up and take responsibility… that we stand up and begin to work to make things better… to make things right.

That is interesting that your chances of getting cancer are FOUR times higher if you live in the United States than if you live in a country like Japan. What a FASCINATING statistic. There seems to be so much emphasis on detection and not much on prevention. If you look at this site called whatsonmyfood.org (1) it looks like 6 different pesticides were found on rice and 16 different pesticides were found on wheat. in addition, omega 3′s found in fish, seem to be protective against some types of cancer.(2) Dangerous Grains, a book about wheat has some eye opening statistics about wheat and cancer. Unfortunately, the explanation might be multifactorial–and hard to sort out using statistics.

Robyn, I love that you are bringing awareness to this issue. I wasn’t aware of the pending legislation. I look forward to tracking your work!
