A pertinent subject for Toxic Drums really. It seems that the US FDA have finally discovered that levels of lead in the cherry flavoured Toxic Waste Nuclear Sludge Candy Bars imported from Pakistan are a wee bit too high. They've been importing them for six years without testing them. See
TOXIC WASTE CANDY IS REALLY TOXIC! for much more info on the subject. They say that it can present a health risk to children and pregnant women. Lead poisoning can cause mental retardation and it makes you wonder if the men are immune or already retarded. All Toxic Waste candy bars are being recalled but the levels are only 0.24 parts per million (that's 0.14 ppm above the safe level) so the actual health risks are minimal and there are no reported cases of lead poisoning due to these bars (so far). Ironic really that Pakistan is exporting Nuclear Sludge to the USA.

It's exporting immigrants mainly if you happen to live around here!
ReplyDeleteInside Info Alert:
ReplyDeleteThe EPA here has wanted to lower the lead level exposures for children here to below .10 ppm for a while now. What people tend to forget is that lead bioaccumulates in the system meaning it gets stored in the fat cells and increases with each exposure.
