Remember penicillin is a mold.
Scrape it off an chow down.>>>
... here's hoping that anyone following that advice has very good
MEDICAL INSURANCE.
the truth is:
scraping the fruiting bodies (fuzzy stuff) off your food doesn't get rid
of the toxins.
not all molds/moulds are beneficial (like penicillin).
some penicillin-like molds are VERY toxic.
some molds are DEADLY.

The CDC reports that over one million people
each year become ill from contaminated drinking water.
After a recent nationwide study the EPA found so
many water sources oozing with toxins such as
heavy metals, bacteria and pesticides that they
recommended Americans should filter their water.
Your body absorbs chlorine while you shower
and your lungs are bathed in chlorine gas. Chlorine
is one of the most powerful toxins in use today.
Our rivers and oceans are so contaminated
that pregnant women are told not to
eat fish and Floridians are now warned not to
swim in the water consequent to virulent viruses
that arise from billions of gallons of raw human
sewage and farm runoff entering our waterways.
Your chicken, beef, milk, the plastic you wrap
your lunch, your telephone, computer even
the fillings used by the dentist on your
child's teeth are all leaching EDCs (endocrine
distrupting compounds) which have been linked
to the alarming increase birth defects and more
recently premature puberty and cancer in females
and of course male infertility.
A researcher at Oak Ridge National Laboratory
found that the synthetic dyes used in food are
over 10, 000, 000 times more carcinogenic than
pesticides with women at the highest risk. How
many foods can you name that are not dyed?
Good luck.
The raisins in your raisin brand-perhaps one
of the most toxin filled foods-may contain up
to 80 pesticides as allowed by federal law. Of course
if these are imported from South America they
may also contain DDT, Aldrin, Dioxin (considered
the most carcinogenic compound known), etc.
There are more carcinogens in one cup of
coffee than there are in a years worth of
pesticide residues from the fruits and
the vegetables you eat and we still don't
know what 97% of the other chemicals in
coffee do to the body.
Your furniture and walls are pumping out
formaldehyde which is used as embalming
fluid and can cause everything from
cirrhosis to coma and I won't even get into
whats gushing out of your synthetic
carpet and clothing.
And your fresh organically grown chiles
ain't they good? Too bad they are also
bathed in a soup of pesticides since it
is well known that over 90% of sprayed
chlorinated/halogenated pesticides
immediately evaporate and fill rain clouds
only to drop down many miles away.
One study noted that perhaps the most
dangerous food anyone can eat is
hamburger the list of toxins is beyond
belief. What did you have for lunch.
Did you have fries also with polysiloxane
the crisping agent and artery hardener?
Or perhaps it was something healthy
like a salad bar which another scientist
quoted as the single most dangerous
restaurant type of food to eat what with
everyone and his dog fingering and
sneezing in the food.
On your drive to work you breathe in
over twenty extremely carcinogenic
hydrocarbons and vinyl chloride-
the neat new car smell-which is
known to cause severe liver damage.
Your kids eat hotdogs which contain
sodium nitrite and studies have
found high rates of leukemia in
kids that eat a lot of hotdogs.
But of course they get a fruit
juice with 25% real fruit and of
course perhaps carmine a dye that
comes from the body fluids of
the carmine beetle and which is
shown to cause allergic reactions
in many people.
And do you have
those imported PVC miniblinds in
your babies room you know the ones
that break down in sunlight and leach
lead which causes permanent brain
damage in children.
God I could write a book.
Now I ask you after reading this very
short list of the toxins you are
exposed to throughout each and
every day should we sit here and
beat ourselves in the head over
a little mold in a chile that MIGHT
contain a picogram of so-called toxin?
Come on folks.
PS Oh yeah ladies a new study by
the FDA found that soft drinks
weaken your bones. And as you
know more women die of osteoporosis
related illnesses that ALL gynecological
cancers combined. In fact, half of all
women who break a bone due to
osteoporosis and enter the hospital
die within one year.
And as far as those deadly molds
in chiles boy I read so many postings
here about folks keeling over from
these deadly chile molds. Let me see
how many I've read so far this year..
uh... there was...um ... I'll have to get
back to you on that.
