10/22/2007: "Modern products poison us from within"

Most Americans haven't heard of body burden testing, but it's a hot topic among environmentalists and public health experts who warn that the industrial chemicals we come into contact with every day are accumulating in our bodies and endangering our health in ways we have yet to understand.

Michelle Hammond and Jeremiah Holland took part in a cutting-edge study to measure the industrial chemicals in their bodies. Tests revealed that their children -- Rowan, then 18 months, and Mikaela, then 5 -- had chemical exposure levels up to seven times those of their parents.

"[Rowan's] been on this planet for 18 months, and he's loaded with a chemical I've never heard of," Holland said. "He had two to three times the level of flame retardants in his body that's been known to cause thyroid dysfunction in lab rats."

[ Again, this was obvious to National Socialists, but the rest of the world is in denial. Why? ]
