Killing Our Pets Was Bad Enough - Now They Are Trying To Kill Us Too!

Tweet

On March 15, the Food and Drug Administration learned that certain pet foods were sickening and killing cats and dogs. FDA found contaminants in vegetable proteins imported into the United States from China and used as ingredients in pet food. As if that wasn't bad enough, now they are exporting toothpaste containing a deadly chemical to the United States. This so called "Global Economy" is goint to kill us financially by importing goods from countries paying there workers slave wages or either by selling us products that are up to the standards that we are used to. What is your opinion on this discussion? Are you going to reconsider before buying a Chineese product for consumption. You won't catch me consuming anything from China until I am 100% sure that it's safe. And as of now I'm not sure of that. Here's the story. The government warned consumers on Friday to avoid using toothpaste made in China because it may contain a poisonous chemical used in antifreeze. The Food and Drug Administration said, people should throw away toothpaste with labeling that says it was made in China. The FDA is concerned that these products may contain diethylene glycol. The antifreeze ingredient was found in a shipment at the U.S. border and at two retail stores: a Dollar Plus store in Miami and a Todo A Peso store in Puerto Rico. The ingredient in question, called DEG, is used as a lower-cost sweetener and thickening agent. "It does not belong in toothpaste even in small concentrations," said the FDA's Deborah M. Autor. The agency is particularly concerned about chronic exposure to DEG in children and in people with kidney or liver disease. Most recently, a cough syrup containing DEG resulted in more than 40 deaths in Panama last September. China's food safety problems have in recent months become a matter of international concern. What do you think about consuming Chineese products now? Lloyd
