AQUECER OU COZINHAR ALIMENTOS NA GARRAFA PET, NÃO! OK?

É errado o uso de garrafa e garrafões de água mineral que ficam expostos ao sol e o aquecimento de mamadeiras de plástico em banho-maria, pois favorecem a exposição aos possíveis efeitos do Bisfenol-A em humanos.

Entre os problemas relacionados com a ingestão de Bisfenol-A, podemos citar doenças cardíacas, diabetes, câncer de mama, obesidade, hiperatividade, puberdade precoce e queda da fertilidade em adultos. NÃO SE TEM AINDA UMA DOSAGEM SEGURA PARA SEU CONSUMO!

Entendam, a industria lançou esse componente sem estudar seus efeitos a longo prazo e , em alguns casos, é evidente que isto esteja encurtando o tempo de vida e a qualidade de vida!

Por isso, não se deve aquecer ou preparar alimentos e bebidas em recipientes plásticos. Use os recipientes plásticos apenas para alimentos frios.

Ponha o alimento em uma panela de barro ou em uma panela de ferro, e cozinhe sob a churrasqueira quando for realizar estes eventos. No plástico não! Pelo Amor! Até onde vão ficar pagando praticidade com <saúde?!

A Saúde é Sua! Aprenda a Cuidar Dela!

Quem determina se aditivos alimentares são seguros?

"A segurança dos aditivos alimentares não é determinada pela FDA, mas pelos fabricantes dos próprios produtos químicos."

"Who Determines if Food Additives Are Safe?"

0:07

November, 2013, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration

0:10

announced their plans to all but eliminate trans-fats

0:13

from processed foods, citing a CDC statistic

0:16

that the elimination of partially hydrogenated oils

0:19

from the food supply could prevent more than

0:21

10,000 heart attacks and thousands of deaths every year.

0:24

Currently, trans-fats enjoy so called GRAS status –

0:28

Generally Recognized As Safe.

0:30

How did these killer fats get labeled as safe?

0:33

Who gets to determine that?

0:35

Currently, a generally-recognized- as-safe determination

0:40

is made when a manufacturer of a food substance

0:42

evaluates the safety of the substance themselves

0:45

and concludes that the use of the substance is safe.

0:48

Did I just read that right?...

0:51

The company that manufactures the substance

0:54

gets to determine if it's safe or not?

0:57

This approach is commonly referred to as

1:00

"GRAS self-determination".

1:02

To make matters worse, not only do they not have to

1:05

inform the public, they don't even have to inform the FDA!

1:09

Eh...in a footnote they explain that...uh...

1:12

a company may voluntarily tell the FDA–

1:16

they just came up with a new food additive they decide as safe,

1:19

but are not required to even do that.

1:22

The cumulative result is that there is an estimated

1:26

6,000 current affirmative safety decisions

1:29

which allow for more than an estimated 10,000 substances

1:32

to be used in food.

1:33

In addition, an estimated 1,000 manufacturer safety decisions

1:37

are never reported to the FDA or the public.

1:40

Manufacturers and the trade association made the remaining decisions

1:44

without FDA review by concluding on their own

1:47

that the substances that they themselves were selling

1:50

were safe...

1:52

Well, manufacturers are not required to notify the FDA

1:55

of a "safe determination".

1:57

Sometimes they do notify the agency with a little "FYI".

2:01

At least in those cases, where they're going public

2:05

with their decision as to what they're putting in our food

2:07

presumably they're being above board

2:09

in finding some independent, third party panel.

2:12

The objective of this study was to find out.

2:15

Of the 451 GRAS notifications voluntarily submitted to the FDA

2:20

22% were made by someone directly employed by the company,

2:24

13% were made by someone directly employed

2:27

by a firm hand-picked by the company,

2:30

and 64% by a panel hand-picked by the corporation

2:33

or the firm the corporation hired.

2:36

Are you doing the math?

2:38

Yes, that means 0% of safety decisions were made independently.

2:43

An astonishing 100% of the members of expert panels worked directly or indirectly

2:50

FOR the companies that manufacture the food additive in question!

2:53

100%!

2:55

And those were just the ones the food companies told FDA about.

2:59

And they use the same "Rent-a-Scientist" experts over and over,

3:04

leading food industry watch dog, Marion Nestle, to ask,

3:08

"How is it possible that the FDA permits manufacturers"

3:11

"to decide for themselves whether their food additives are safe?"

3:16

Maybe, it's because many of the companies

3:20

providing our daily food are corporate giants with political muscles

3:24

national governments would envy.

3:26

PepsiCo alone spent more than $9 million in a single year

3:32

to lobby Congress.

3:34

The fact that food additives, like trans-fats,

3:36

have been allowed to kill thousands of Americans

3:38

year after year comes as less of a surprise

3:42

to those who realize 3 of Washington's largest lobbying firms

3:46

reportedly now work for the food industry.
