The Canadian and American Diet. The Claim Was Made that all these Residues found in both Mothers Milk and the Canadian and American Diet were Within Safe Levels. 2022-12-21. Jorma Jyrkkanen

WHO and FAO Claimed that all these were within Safe Levels. There is no safe level for carcinogens my Friends. Pesticides in the Canadian Diet Pesticide residues in the total diet in Canada were reported by Harry A. McLeod et. al. (1980). His list included along with average daily dietary intake in micrograms/kg (ug/kg) during the period 1976-1978, the following 24 different residues at that time representing organochlorines (OC’s), OP’s, sulfur, nitroanaline, phthalonitrile, and carbamate compounds. He reported for the first time; chlordane, methidathion, phosalone, toxaphene, chlorothalonil, dichloran, quintozene, sulfur, chlorpropham, and PCB (see Table II). Many could have been missed due to crude detection limits or by limiting the scope of the assay. Table II.

The American Diet For an accounting of chemical pollution of the American diet the reader is encouraged to consult Marcia J. Gartell, et. al. (1985). The authors discuss daily dietary intake of pesticides, industrial chemicals, and the elements. They list the following pesticides and chemicals and toxic heavy metals. The total package Gartell and co-workers uncovered in the American diet included the following pesticides: alpha,beta, gamma, delta BHC®; captan, carbaryl, chlordane®, octachlor epoxide, chlorobenzilate, 2-chloroethyl caprate, 2-chlorethyl laurate, 2-chloroethyllinoleate, 2-chloroethyl myristate, 2-chloroethyl palmitate,chlorpropham, chlorpyrifos, DCPA, DDT®, DDE, TDE, DEF, Demeton-s-sulfone, diazinon, dichloran, dicofol®, dieldrin®, dimethoate, endosulfan I®, endosulfan II®, endosulfan sulfate, endrin, ethion, 2-ethylhexyl diphenyl phosphate, fenitrothion, fenthion, fonofos, heptachlor® epoxide, hexachlorobenzene,® leptophos, linuron, malathion®, methidathion, methoxychlor®, nitrofen®, trans -nonachlor®, parathion, parathion methyl, pentachloroanisole, pentachlorobenzene, pentachlorobenzonitrile, pentachlorophenol®, perthane, o-phenylphenol, phosalone, polychlorinated biphenyls, quintozene, pentachloroaniline, pentachlorothioanisole, ronnel, tecnazene, tetrachloroaniline, tetrachloroanisidine, tetrachloroanisole, tetrachlorobenzene, tetrachlorothioanisole, toxaphene®, tri-n-butyl phosphate, vinclozolin®, arsenic, cadmium®, lead®, mercury®, zinc.[Note:®Endocrine and reproductive disrupters, 1995; vinclozolin is an antiandrogen linked experimentally with hermaphrodism]
