Comment on 7 things that are killing you! by parksmartialarts

Here’s an interesting reply to Vennesa’s comment who represents the “Styrene Information and Research Center”.

THis reply is from one of our very own who is a world wide recognized and highly decorated Ph.D. Chemist.

QUOTE:

Lets put it this way, as a polymer chemist who specifically works with polystyrene I;
1. always work in a hood with it
2. always wear gloves
3. dont microwave in plastic
4. take food from styrofoam containers and put it into glass asap.
5. Can taste the styrene/plastisizers in the food if it sits in it too long.

If the styrene itself does not do harm, then the other chemicals that must be added to the styrene in the poly. process do. So…make your own call.

I wonder if the “Styrene Research Center” is funded by a styrene manufacturer?

WARNING: I just want to add that people aren’t naive anymore. Just because something claims to have been validated and researched by “reputable government agencies” doesn’t mean that there aren’t special interest involved, bias testing, and a host of additional considerations to be weighed.

REASONS WHY POLYSTYRENE FOAM IS BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND HUMAN HEALTH.

1. Toxic chemicals leach out of these products into the food that they contain. These chemicals threaten human health and reproductive systems.

2. These products are made with petroleum, a non-sustainable, heavily polluting and disappearing commodity.

3. The product does not biodegrade. It crumbles into fragments that have no expiration date.

3. A certain percentage of product will be dumped in the environment, persisting on land indefinitely as litter and breaking up into pieces that choke and clog animal digestive systems in waterways.

4. The product takes up more space in landfills than does paper and eventually will re-enter the environment when landfills are breached by water or mechanical forces.

5. Foam recycling is a public relations stunt, promoted by the chemical industries that manufacture it. This is done in highly centralized, distant facilities using complex chemical processes and expends far more energy than is ever saved by recycling the material.

Both solid and foam polystyrene foodservice products have been tested extensively and deemed safe for consumer use by reputable government agencies. Since the 1990s, the polystyrene industry has conducted tests to measure the migration of styrene from styrenic plastics to food; the results have shown that these very low styrene levels pose no health concern. Specifically, the tests showed that the estimated daily exposure to styrene from polystyrene food-contact articles was 10,000 times safer than it needed to be. Based on these tests, the FDA has deemed polystyrene foodservice products to be fit for consumer use.

For more information regarding the safety of styrene products, please refer to the Styrene Information and Research Center Website at http://www.styrene.org/.

unfortunately i was taking 32 paramol a day for over a year as it made me ‘happy’..also gave me headache so I took cheap stuff for those too. I did it also cos i didnt feel hungry and i lost over 25kg. It also helped me sleep at night which i had always had problems with. I had to trail around different pharmacies for my addiction and even got banned from two places for buying too many. Then i got them off the internet…3 packs a time. They made me more energetic and as i said happy, but they also messed up my body big time. I now have to visit the hospital a few times a years as my intestines are inflamed and bleeding and my stomach never feels right. I havent told them what i did for me to be like this as i am ashamed…they presume its colitis and give me pills for that. I wish i never did all that shit. I cost me a lot of money for what? A messed up body, pain, constipation, and i actually do feel better without. I still get tempted to get that high sometimes but prevent myself…i hope i can carry on with the willpower…

I avoid all those as best I can.

The real bummer is fluoride…what kind of crimes had to happen to get it in our drinking water?! Bottled water often comes from drinking water…what then?!

I am moving to Montana soon, to a little-bitty town. Perhaps there I can catch the rain in barrels.
