Summary

145: TEST RESULTS! ***SHARE THIS WITH EVERYONE!*** Whether or not you have children, this should be a concern for our country’s health and future….and it’s up to us to take action! In Today’s BOK, I’m sharing test results from school lunch samples that show high levels of heavy metals, glyphosate, pesticides, and nutrient deficiencies.

More info: Thiabendazole (TBZ) - present in 12 of the 43 samples (27.9%), was found at 176.28 ppb on a green apple and 34.99 ppb on a red apple. TBZ has immunosuppressive effects. A 2021 study concluded that "TBZ, MSG, and BB negatively affect hematological parameters and innate and humoral immune functions, and inflammatory responses. TBZ achieved the maximal negative impacts, followed by food additive MSG and BB.  Piperonal Butoxide (PBO) - present in 18 of the 43 samples ( 41%), up to 41.96 ppb in a hamburger. It is a developmental toxin or teratogen that can cause structural malformations including inhibition of the development of specific parts of the brain and forelimb and facial development. A 2019 study points out that a critical mechanism of action is to inhibit an essential developmental signaling pathway. Pyrimethanil was detected at 595.04 ppb on an apple. A 2018 study on Pyrimethanil indicates that it produces thyroid follicular cell tumors in rats and upregulates hepatic thyroid hormone metabolism, which may be responsible for thyroid tumorigenesis (Hurlety, 1998).

30 million genetically modified school meals are served daily in America to our children.

And for millions of underserved children, school meals are the only meals they consume.

These school lunches contain many GMO crop ingredients such as corn, soy, and sugar from sugar beets and processed

with GMO seed oils such as canola and soybean. Most genetically modified crops are engineered to

withstand toxic chemicals such as glyphosate and many more harmful chemicals. But if these

0:37.1

lunches are sometimes the only meals kids consume,

0:41.7

think about what they are doing to their health over time. Think about why we have such an

epidemic of diseases, ADHD, and other behavioral and learning disorders. And the sad part is that instead of trying to reverse the symptoms with better, more

0:58.3

nutritious food, pills and medications are pushed instead, which is obviously not cost effective,

but think of the motive and domino effect here.

Let's dive right in.

All right, you guys have heard me talk about endocrine disruptors many times.

Now, these toxins are in the food we eat due to pesticides and packaging, our home food

1:30.4

storage containers, our cookware, drinkware, laundry detergent soaps and shampoos, and yes,

1:37.9

even our cosmetics. That's why it's so important to choose a clean skin care. And we all wash our face daily, at least we should,

1:47.3

right? And we all use creams and serums. So if we're already using them, why not make the switch

1:55.4

to a safer version that uses non-toxic ingredients? Last year, I had the privilege to start using Alitura,

which is a clean skincare company that is clean certified and uses all natural nutrient-rich

ingredients grown on earth. This brand was actually created by a male model named Andy,
