Walmart is poisoning our kids

Not satisfied with spewing tons of toxic chemicals into our air, China has implemented a new plan to poison our children.

Quote:
LOS ANGELES – Barred from using lead in children's jewelry because of its toxicity, some Chinese manufacturers have been substituting the more dangerous heavy metal cadmium in sparkling charm bracelets and shiny pendants being sold throughout the United States, an Associated Press investigation shows.

Cadmium has been used as a cheap substitute for chrome on bicycles and toys forever. That's what you see peeling off handlebars.

"There's nothing positive that you can say about this metal. It's a poison," said Bruce A. Fowler, a cadmium specialist and toxicologist with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. On the CDC's priority list of 275 most hazardous substances in the environment, cadmium ranks No. 7.

There is cadmium in most of the best oil paints. They always tell us to wear gloves while painting.

Because numbers were not provided. No numbers is how Saddam had WMDs. And how to brainwash the naive.

Do you know what phosgene does to the lungs? Your alveoli collapse and you suffocate the death in two hours. What do they put in grains that will become your breakfast cereal? Phosgene. So clearly General Mills is trying to kill us all - using simplistic logic being hyped here.

yeah, they replaced the lead in ceramics glazes with cadmium.

Now they're removing them all and the glazes are shite. Heavy Metals Rock.
