FDA sued over Nanotechnology
Another one to think on and another great lawsuit. Besides GMO's, Nanotechnology has been introduced into our food system. To learn more, please read the posted article and information with regards to the lack of studies surrounding the effects of Nanotechnology in our food supply and why this is a danger we need to pay attention to.

Re: FDA sued over Nanotechnology
This is sooooo important, as important as radiation exposure imho. Nano technologies can make havoc in your body and brain. I did not know it passes the blood brain barrier. Gosh, how stupid and sick will we get?
And how stupid are we to let it go through, actually. I did not know pesticides had nanotech in it, therefore it is found in most of our foods I bet. Now I understand better one in 49 boy is born or will have autism triggered in him.

Re: FDA sued over Nanotechnology
Thanks for paying attention Flash, it sounds like you have an intimate knowledge as to what our environment is doing to us. We need to support and follow these very important law suits. Nano Tech is in thousands of products and it is going to continue to grow unless it is stopped. We are becoming genetically modified ourselves. The CBC had a small news blurb that stated that many youth have genetic damage that they believe is being caused by the junk foods that they are eating... this is huge. I've tried to find that article off and on for years and it's been wiped off the internet... disturbing to say the least.

Here is the lawsuit:
http://www.centerforfoodsafety.org/w...-Complaint.pdf
Article pertaining to pesticides here:
On November 18, 2010, the International Center for Technology Assessment (ICTA) petitioned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to investigate nano-copper pesticides. ICTA, which petitioned EPA in May 2008 to regulate nano-silver and other nano-pesticide products, singles out three registrations obtained by Osmose, Inc. for “micronized” copper carbonate. According to ICTA, “it does not appear that Osmose advised EPA when it applied for these three registrations that any of these products included intentionally produced nanoscale material, but, as explained below, it clearly knew this was the case.” The Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) has stated that it intends to treat any pesticide products containing nanoscale materials as new products, and ICTA notes that “registrants were also on notice well before 2008 that OPP wanted any applicant requesting registration of a pesticide product containing a nanoscale active ingredient or inert ingredient to disclose that fact during the application process.” ICTA claims that Osmose used the formulator’s exemption to register its products, although it intentionally modified the structure of the purchased active ingredient to create nanoscale particles, which it neglected to tell EPA. ICTA requests that EPA “immediately investigate” the three products, and revoke the registrations, if EPA determines that Osmose registered the products on the basis of an invalid claim. ICTA also requests that EPA “thoroughly investigate other possible nanoscale copper products, which should include but not be limited to copper-based wood treatment products currently available on the market, as similar actions under FIFRA may be necessary.”
