Agent Orange, Dioxin, causing birth defects

Post by Maria »

Vietnamese doctors claim that the defoliant Agent Orange, sprayed during the Vietnam War, causes genetic defects in children and grandchildren of people who were exposed.

U.S. animal tests show that genetic damage from dioxin in Agent Orange can be passed on to offspring, but species vary widely in how susceptible they are. No human studies exist. ...

Without admitting guilt, Congress approved $21 million to help disabled people in Vietnam, but that country says the aid should be far higher. ...

Monsanto was one of the companies producing Dioxin during the Vietnam War.

Companies are still using Dioxin or Tricosan in hand sanitizers and in a product called Microban to deter bacteria and fungus in athletic socks, in plastic wash basins, etc. Yet there is no warning that women who use these products with dioxin could be causing their young to miscarriage or could cause them to be disabled. Neither is there a warning of the risk of liver cancer.

Where is the outrage? This is genocide.

Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner.

Triclosan, found in antibacterial soap and other products, causes cancer in mice

Long-term exposure to triclosan — an antibacterial ingredient found in some soap, toothpaste and other common household products — may lead to liver cancer in mice, according to a new study.

The finding, published Nov. 17 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, comes amid closer scrutiny of the possible health effects of the widely used substance.
