| "Require health warnings on food labels
Another proposal that I especially like is requiring warning labels on foods similar to the warning labels now posted on cigarette packaging. If you buy a pack of cigarettes in the United States, the label warns you that this product causes cancer or other chronic diseases. The same sort of warning labels should be required on foods and soft drinks and other products that contain ingredients known to promote disease. This is the only way the average consumer will be made aware of the correlation between these foods and their long-term health impacts." - Mike Adams, The Seven Laws of Nutrition (Get the book.) |
 "This is an especially important issue to follow when one recalls that in 2004 the FDA issued Public health warnings that SSRI/SNRI antidepressants may increase suicidal thoughts and other harmful behaviors in an unknown number of children and adults taking antidepressants—the mind-altering drugs of choice for "treating" alleged mental illnesses.
The NFC is part of Bush's support and commitment to screen all Americans for possible mental illnesses which, more likely than not, require treatment in the form of mind-altering drugs."- Kelly Patricia O'Meara, Psyched Out: How Psychiatry Sells Mental Illness and Pushes Pills That Kill (Get the book.) "Moreover, considering that the FDA public health warnings were reported by virtually every major news organization in the U.S. and around the world, does it not seem odd that Connor's article is devoid of this information? But what is most telling about the Daily News article is not what is written but, rather, what is not written." - Kelly Patricia O'Meara, Psyched Out: How Psychiatry Sells Mental Illness and Pushes Pills That Kill (Get the book.) "Vedantam provides an excellent report about the nearly 20 percent drop in pediatric use of mind-altering drugs that occurred after the FDA issued public health warnings about antidepressants being no more effective than sugar pills in a majority of clinical trials, and that the mind-altering drugs may increase suicidal behavior. Vedantam covers the issue like a seasoned reporter, providing comments about the safety and efficacy of the antidepressants in question from those who advocate the virtues of the mind-altering drugs to those opposed and why." - Kelly Patricia O'Meara, Psyched Out: How Psychiatry Sells Mental Illness and Pushes Pills That Kill (Get the book.) |
 "Just as important, these fluctuations in carbon disulfide exposure have been paralleled by alternating failure and success in translating public health warnings into concrete actions leading to effective controls.
In the mid-nineteenth century, Delpech not only discovered the problem but immediately made practical recommendations for reducing carbon disulfide exposure in the vulcanization workshops."- Paul D.

| "He also watched Agent Orange being used to clear land for teak tree planting in Costa Rica, regardless of its devastating effects on the workers and their children; 90% of Cambodia's farmers are being poisoned because health warnings on pesticide containers are printed only in foreign languages. But he noted that the trade ministers are beginning to listen to international labour groups, and that consumers are responding intelligently." - Helke Ferrie, Dispatches From the War Zone of Environmental Health (Get the book.) |
 "They actually are expressing a worldview, a style of life, that goes beyond individual health warnings and treatment of one type of substance abuse or another. For example, heavy drinking is inextricably related to cigarette smoking and other drug use in the populations most likely to damage their unborn children. These women already receive too many health warnings relative to their capacity to assimilate this information and to translate it into realistic coping and improved health and living conditions."- Stanton Peele, Diseasing of America: Addiction Treatment Out of Control (Get the book.) |
 "What's more, in 1991, the attorneys general of twenty-six states petitioned the CPSC to require health warnings on new carpet and installation materials, but the CPSC refused, saying the action was "premature."
You may be surprised to discover that a natural product such as wool carpet can often contain more toxic chemicals than some synthetic carpets. This is due to the fact that all manufacturers have to use pesticides to mothproof the wool and carpet backing. Even the underlay contains chemicals from the plastics and other solvents used in their manufacture."- Dr. Paula Baillie-Hamilton, Toxic Overload: A Doctor's Plan for Combating the Illnesses Caused by Chemicals in Our Foods, Our Homes, and Our Medicine Cabinets (Get the book.) |
