"She leads me to the Jean dupont Shehan Visitor Center, explaining how members of the dupont family—the famous chemical manufacturers?are in attendance. At the postinauguration lunch reception, baskets of red Hawaiian rambutans are passed around the banquet hall. They've been allowed into the mainland because of a new irradiation technology. The buzz around the room is that X-rayed fruits will soon be allowed into America not only from Hawaii, but from Southeast Asia, South America and other tropical destinations." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Farben in alliance with dupont, Standard Oil, and Ford. The Food and Drug Administration, or fda, was formed in 1906 to establish credibility and keep public opinion positive toward the use of pharmaceuticals. It was set up to be an independent government organization whose purpose was to test all foods and drugs, and remove from the market any products it considered to be unsafe. It was given the power to approve drugs and natural supplements as either safe or unsafe. At that time, all medical schools in America taught the use of only natural remedies for healing." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Take your Teflon and send it back to DuPont; demand a full refund. To join this class action suit go to NaturalCures.com. dupont, of course, denies all the allegations. The bottom line: if you want to be healthy, throw away all nonstick cookware. Remember, science is not better than nature. ANTIBIOTICS I want to start with the bottom line—never, ever, ever take antibiotics unless you are about to die. That's right. Unless you have days to live, never take antibiotics. Antibiotics should virtually never be taken. Why?" - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.) "The lawsuit wants dupont to spend $5 billion to replace all the nonstick cookware, impose a Teflon warning label, and create two funds to pay for medical monitoring and more scientific research on the people who were using Teflon pots and pans to determine just how the use of Teflon cookware has related to and caused illness, sickness, disease, and depression. dupont has known for over twenty years that the Teflon product, and the various chemicals it uses in the manufacturing of its products, cause cancer! Everyone knows that it causes cancer." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.) "The Associated Press reports that a $5 billion class action lawsuit is being filed against the dupont company, stating that the chemical giant failed to warn consumers of the dangers of a Teflon chemical. The lawsuit wants dupont to spend $5 billion to replace all the nonstick cookware, impose a Teflon warning label, and create two funds to pay for medical monitoring and more scientific research on the people who were using Teflon pots and pans to determine just how the use of Teflon cookware has related to and caused illness, sickness, disease, and depression." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"Some women who worked at the dupont plant mixing the chemicals to make Teflon gave birth to babies with birth defects. Almost all Americans now have some detectable amounts of Teflon in their blood, and they are getting close to the level that harms lab animals. Pending review, the Environmental Protection Agency is now advising consumers to stop using Teflon products. Is Cooked Food Addictive? We know that fermenting food sugars and starches into alcohol makes them addictive for many people. Would heating food do the same thing? Raw fooders are convinced that cooked food is addictive." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"It is reported that petrochemical producer dupont joined forces with Randolph Hearst, the newspaper magnate, whose company was the main user of chemically treated wood pulp and a major holder of forest logging licenses. Together they mounted "an hysterical fear campaign of racism and misinformation" linking industrial hemp to its cousin, Cannabis, which can contain significant amounts of thc.49 This campaign was so fierce and effective that the word "hemp" became synonymous with the slang word "marijuana," and resulted in the U.S. government prohibition of 1937." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"The manufacture of high-grade uranium for nuclear bombs required huge amounts of fluoride—millions of tons of it in fact—and many parts of the project were farmed out to America's manufacturing firms, such as the industry giant dupont. Handling such enormous quantities of fluoride proved to be a monumental task, chiefly because of the escape of the fluoride into the atmosphere. In the early 1940s, the E.I. dupont de Nemours Company chemical factory in Deepwater, New Jersey, was one of the largest fluoride producers on the Manhattan Project." - Russell L. Blaylock, M.D., Health and Nutrition Secrets (Get the book.)

"One example is a Japanese scientist who was denied access to modest amounts of DuPont's high-oleic soybeans by both dupont and the Japanese government when that crop was being reviewed by Japanese regulatory authorities.15 A scientist studying the potential for a GE crop to spread beneficial traits to sexually compatible weeds (creating so-called 'superweeds') was denied access to the transgene by the GE crop developer."16 GM Free Cymru "When Prof." - Jeffrey M. Smith, Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods (Get the book.)

"Studies by the dupont Company have shown that injection of nanoparticles into the lungs of rats resulted in very high mortality. Other studies have found that small nanoparticles penetrate deeply into the lungs of rats where they produce severe inflammation (14). They also rapidly diffuse into the blood, resulting in coagulation disorders. And at least one variety of nanoparticles used as penetration enhancers in sunscreens has the potential to cause neurological damage to humans, according to the results of a study in 2006 by a research laboratory at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency." - Samuel S. Epstein, Randall Fitzgerald, Toxic Beauty: How Cosmetics and Personal Care Products Endanger Your Health . . . And What You Can Do about It (Get the book.)

"European farmers had the potential to make the difference for firms like Monsanto, dupont, Pioneer, and others making a profit or turning a loss on their multi-billion-dollar investments in genetic engineering. Into her office, she recalled, came representatives from the U.S. State and Commerce departments, from the American Chamber of Commerce, from Monsanto, dupont, Syngenta, and Dow, the major producers of genetically engineered seed, three out of four of which are U.S. firms (Syngenta is Swiss)." - Mark Schapiro, Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power (Get the book.)

"Eli Lilly and dupont are American manufacturers of methadone. Today, methadone is used as a treatment for heroin addiction. Drug companies profits from both sides of the problem. Many of the chemicals used to make cocaine, such as ammonium chloride, acetic anhydride, acetone, hydrochloric acid, and ether are also used to transform opium into morphine and heroin. These chemicals are made by Eli Lilly, dupont, and others. Why Was Eli Lilly Involved in Homeland Security?" - Byron J. Richards, Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA's Betrayal of America (Get the book.)

"Other Washington transplants are in the neighborhood too: Burson-Marsteller, which has been working on behalf of the American Chemical Council; APCO, where former undersecretary of commerce Stuart Eisenstadt took a job after leaving the Clinton administration and began making regular visits to top European officials, like Nicolas Thery, to argue against REACH; and Hill & Knowlton, which has been representing dupont along with dozens of other U.S. companies." - Mark Schapiro, Exposed: The Toxic Chemistry of Everyday Products and What's at Stake for American Power (Get the book.)

"DuPont "agreed" to phase out this chemical in 2015! In other words, it's up to you to protect you and your family by choosing to use only chemical-free products. Water Ionizers Water Ionizers are machines that can turn normal tap water into a good cleanser that has antioxidant effects. Water with a negative charge (ORP) is known to retard the aging process. A high or rising ORP, on the other hand, causes oxidation and therefore aging. Machine-ionized water counteracts this rising ORP and has a rejuvenating effect on a cellular level." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"The motivation for these arrangements was straightforward—between 1922 and 1925, DuPont's net profit margin on what had only just officially become "rayon" averaged 32 percent. When the medical publications' nearly twenty-five-year de facto moratorium on examining the effects of carbon disulfide in rayon manufacturing was finally broken in 1928, the change occurred almost in passing. The British Lancet carried a small item quoting the home secretary in its Patliamentary Intelligence section." - Paul D.

"State and Commerce departments, from the American Chamber of Commerce, from Monsanto, dupont, Syngenta, and Dow, the major producers of genetically engineered seed, three out of four of which are U.S. firms (Syngenta is Swiss). Suddenly, a previously unknown Austrian (to Americans anyway) was being courted by some of the most powerful diplomats and corporate officials in the world. Scheele told me she was surprised at the abundant attention suddenly being paid to her from the other side of the Atlantic. But the U.S. embrace had little effect.

"Long-term Planning mh dupont CFO Gary Pfeiffer once observed that sustainability advocates often say, "Wall Street doesn't get it about sustainability." "They actually 'get it' just fine," Pfeiffer asserted. Wall Street's legendary focus on the short term, Pfeiffer explained, is more precisely a focus on cumulative discounted future cash flows. In simple terms, Wall Street is happy if a company will (a) make more money in the future, (b) make money sooner rather than later, and (c) face less risk." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.) "In 2003, the Environmental Protection Agency presented dupont with its annual Presidential Green Chemistry Award in recognition of its work in developing the PDO process. Orange-rind Plastic Cornell chemists have invented a plastic made from orange rinds and carbon dioxide (C02). The resulting polymer is similar to polystyrene—not usable for structural applications like polyvinyl chloride (PVC), but good for packaging and cloth fibers, similar to Nature Works PLA." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"Wallace Carothers, a brilliant chemist working for dupont, had become very good at making molecules daisy-chain to produce the polymers that have so changed our lives: he invented nylon and started the whole field. Sadly, he committed suicide in 1937 at the age of forty-one and never witnessed the colossal impact of his creations. His expertise in controlling the joining-up reactions was put to work in preventing them from happening, and the result was the futuristically named Astrotone, the first macrocyclic (big ring) musk, still made today under the less evocative name of musk T." - Luca Turin, The Secret of Scent: Adventures in Perfume and the Science of Smell (Get the book.)

"The primary reason that such an industrial giant as dupont finally relented and entered into cartel agreements with I.G. is that Standard Oil of New Jersey had just done so. The combination of these two Goliaths presented dupont with a serious potential of domestic competition. dupont might have been able to stand firmly against I.G. alone, but it could not hope to take on both I.G. and the great Rockefeller empire as well. Standard Oil, therefore, was the decisive factor that brought together the ultimate "community of interest"—I.G." - G. Edward Griffin, World Without Cancer (Get the book.)

"His training continued with a pediatric orthopedic fellowship at the A.I. dupont Institute in Wilmington, Delaware, completed in 1984. He entered into private practice in North Kansas City; moved to Council Bluffs, Iowa, four years later; and in 2004 moved to his present location at Mena, Arkansas. To have a full-fledged orthopedic surgeon practicing mindbody medicine and contributing to this volume is as exhilarating as it is unusual. Like Drs. Sopher and Hoffman, Dr." - John E.

"Farben had concluded a series of limited cartel agreements with its largest American competitor, the dupont Company. dupont was a major power in itself and it always had been reluctant to enter into cooperative ventures with Farben which usually insisted on being the dominant partner. Consequently, many of the agreements were made indirectly through Farben's subsidiary, Winthrop Chemical, through Imperial Chemical (its cartel partner in Great Britain), and through Mitsui, its cartel partner in Japan. By 1937, American I.G. had substantial stock holdings in both dupont and Eastman Kodak." - G. Edward Griffin, World Without Cancer (Get the book.)

"In 1998, in what was hardly a coincidence, a division of dupont that makes soy protein ingredients, Protein Technologies International, petitioned the FDA to allow a health claim linking soy protein to prevention of heart disease. As evidence, the company cited research indicating that if you have a high blood cholesterol level, substituting an ounce or two a day of soy protein for animal protein in your diet might reduce your cholesterol by as much as 10 percent. Skeptics urged caution in interpreting that research." - Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.)
