WIKILEAKS CHERRY-PICKED INFO by Corporate Media to Bolster Case Against Iran
Use caution in reading the Iraq war logs—and news coverage of them.
November 5, 2010
A source provides details to the American government about the nefarious activities of a Middle Eastern country. That information ends up in scores of secret U.S. government documents. Subsequently, the information winds up on the front pages of major newspapers, and is heralded by war hawks in Washington as a casus belli.
Sound familiar? It should, but perhaps not in the way you’re thinking. Here’s a hint: It’s not 2003, but 2010. This is the story of what happened recently to Iran in the wake of the latest WikiLeaks document release, where U.S military field reports from Iraq made their way into major national newspapers and painted the Islamic Republic as a force out to murder U.S. soldiers in Iraq.

BPA FOUND IN CANNED FOODS
A new study suggests that canned foods is major source of BPA getting into he human body. PBA is also found in packaged foods wrapped in plastic to the cash register receipts according to lead researcher Arnold Schecter, a public health physician at the University of Texas School of Public Health in Dallas.
“The chemical, PBA, has been linked to…heart disease, cancers, and developmental problems. One new study linked higher levels of BPA exposure with lower levels of sperm in men.”
According to the Article in Discovery News, PBA is used for “industrial purposes. BPA is a useful chemical that makes plastics strong and lightweight for use in water bottles, DVDs, electronics and many other products. BPA is also a major ingredient in epoxy resins, which among other uses, help extend the shelf life of canned foods. The chemical is so ubiquitous that nationwide studies have found it in the bodies of the majority of Americans tested” (italic mine)
The highest levels of BPA, was found in canned foods such as Del Monte Fresh Cut Green Beans at the top of the list, then by three types of Progresso soups. And, with lesser amounts in Chicken of the Sea White tuna, canned vegetable juices and soups.
“Experts say, the fact that BPA is in our food at all is enough to warrant a closer look … said John Meeker, an epidemiologist at the University of Michigan School of Public Health in Ann Arbor.” His suggestion is “If you're concerned about BPA, you might want to choose fresh foods over canned versions.” “Schecter emphasizes the need for manufacturers to find BPA-free canning methods. For now, Eden Organic may be the only U.S.-based food company that claims to can their beans without the Chemical.”
