Linda’s comment:  Use of potentially harmful chemicals kept secret under law…???  Sorry but this is criminal in my book….there is no wonder there are so many environmental cancers today.  What do you think this is doing to our children and grandchildren?  We are adults, we can read labels and do our own research, except in cases like this.  How dare they playing with our lives.  We elect them to be honest not hide behind some veil of secrecy!!  This is criminal in my books…Do they not know they are killing and exposing their own families, themselves??
 
Perhaps we should shove all these creeps in a moldy toxic room, spray it good with pesticides, herbicides and these other chemicals they are hiding, then feed them GMO foods with a diet soda chaser!!??  Wonder how many will keep their prostates?  How many will get lung, breast and stomach cancers?  Enough is enough, we the consumer have to stand up and SAY NO, WE ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE….
 
All the more reason why we must focus on detoxing and following a lifelong daily detox program.

Excerpt:

Of the 84,000 chemicals in commercial use in the United States — from
flame retardants in furniture to household cleaners — nearly 20 percent
are secret, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, their
names and physical properties guarded from consumers and virtually all
public officials under a little-known federal provision.

The policy was designed 33 years ago to protect trade secrets in a
highly competitive industry. But critics — including the Obama
administration — say the secrecy has grown out of control, making it
impossible for regulators to control potential dangers or for consumers
to know which toxic substances they might be exposed to.

At a time of increasing public demand for more information about
chemical exposure, pressure is building on lawmakers to make it more
difficult for manufacturers to cloak their products in secrecy. Congress
is set to rewrite chemical regulations this year for the first time in a
generation.

Linda’s comment.  All the more reason why you don’t eat GMO and moving into the world of organics is the safest way to save your health.   We must begin to make the move to cook only FRESH foods.  Soups are best is home-made and we all know that.  As consumers, WE CAN control the industry.  If consumers just STOP BUYING, then the industry will change.  It happened with baby bottles, so why can’t it happen with canned foods??  JUST SAY NO to canned foods.
