STUDY REVEALS BABY FOOD CONTAINS HEAVY METALS
TOXINS FOUND IN MOST BABY FOODS
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:
A recent report released by Healthy Babies Bright Futures (HBBF) found that 95 percent of baby foods tested contained at least one heavy metal. The study tested 168 baby foods for four heavy metals that included arsenic, lead, cadmium and mercury. One in four foods had detectable levels of all four heavy metals in the same baby food container. Only nine of the 168 baby foods that were tested had no traces of the four metals.1The study highlights that some baby foods were found to be particularly risky. These foods included those made with rice (cereals) were found to have the most heavy metal contamination especially inorganic arsenic. According to the report, four of seven rice cereals tested contain inorganic arsenic in excess of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) proposed limit of 100 parts per billion (ppb).1Jane Houlihan MSCE, director of science and health at HBBF and coauthor of the report states that, “For a number of these metals, there’s no known safe level. Any amount that accumulates over time in a baby’s diet can be a concern.”2The Impact of Heavy Metals on Child Development
Every one of the heavy metals found in baby food are identified as developmental neurotoxins. They have the ability to adversely affect a child’s developing brain and nervous system, both in utero and after birth, and can lead to permanent loss of intellectual capacity and behavioral problems like attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).1ll four metals found in baby food are linked to IQ loss from exposures early in life. The scientific evidence to support this stems from years of research. The HBBF study references at least 23 studies published in the past seven years, which provide evidence for how these four heavy metals can impact a child’s development.1Chemical Compound in Baby Food Can Cause IQ Loss
The HBBF study also revealed the presence of another neurotoxin in baby food. Although not a heavy metal, the chemical compound perchlorate can affect thyroid function and brain development.2 The study lab tested 25 baby foods at a separate laboratory for perchlorate and detected it in 19 of 25 foods that were tested. All 19 foods with detectable perchlorate also contained various amounts of arsenic, lead, cadmium or mercury, and 12 contained all four heavy metals.2Perchlorate is known to disrupt thyroid function, which is key to brain development. Exposure to perchlorate has been linked to IQ loss among children born to mothers with thyroid dysfunction who are more vulnerable to perchlorate toxicity.1Perchiorate has been used as a rocket fuel component since the Cold War. In 2005, FDA approved the use of perchiorate as an antistatic in plastic food packaging and, in 2016, expanded the approval to cover dry food handling equipment. Perchlorate is also a degradation product of hypochlorite, which is used to disinfect food-processing equipment.1FDA’s Heavy Metal Safety Standards in Baby Food
According to Consumer Reports and HBBF, the FDA has previously proposed heavy metal safety guidelines for manufacturers of baby cereals and fruit juices. However, the FDA has not yet finalized them despite saying that the guidelines would be published by the end of 2018.2HBBF acknowledges that arsenic levels in baby rice cereal and juice have declined 36 percent and 75 percent respectively during the past 10 years as a result of the FDA’s guidance. However, Consumer Reports senior scientist Michael Hanson, PhD says the government needs to be more proactive and accountable. He states:This study reinforces the urgent need for the FDA to set a goal of no detectable levels of these heavy metals in baby and children’s food, and to set incremental targets for industry to meet along the way.2He adds:More immediately, the FDA should finalize its proposed limit of 100 ppb for inorganic arsenic in infant rice cereal and should lower the limit for lead in juice from 50 ppb to 5 ppb.2Anne Hulick, a registered nurse and director of Connecticut Clean Water Action said the federal government has not done enough to ensure that heavy metals are completely removed and undetectable in baby food.3 She stated:Our FDA has failed to set more health protective standards, and this is frightening for parents and for health professionals. It should not be incumbent on parents to be worrying about this [with] all of the things they have to worry about.3Senator Chuck Schumer Calls on Federal Probe Investigating Toxic Baby Food
A few days after the HBBF report was released, Senator Chuck Schumer (D) called for the FDA to investigate the report and take more action to regulate the baby food industry.4 He said:The report is very, very troubling. Now, we all know how bad lead can hurt a toddler, but when it’s a little baby it’s even worse.5He added:When these toxic metals get into a baby’s nervous system, it can retard brain development, nerve development, the very kind of things we’ve seen [with] lead.5The FDA responded to the probe in a statement saying the agency will further investigate this matter.5Heavy Metals in Vaccines
Not only do baby foods contain heavy metals, but some childhood and adult vaccines recommended by the U.S Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) contain the heavy metal mercury. In addition, there are 24 vaccines that list aluminum, which is not a heavy metal but is a metal that has no established biological function for humans,6 as a vaccine ingredient.7The CDC states that for the 2019-2020 season, manufacturers will produce both multi-dose inactivated injectable influenza vaccines containing the mercury preservative thimerosal, as well as single dose influenza vaccines that do not contain thimerosal.8 The live virus nasal spray influenza vaccine does not contain thimerosal and neither do other types of flu vaccines, such as genetically engineered influenza vaccines made using army worm cells.Although there is emerging evidence that ingestion of metals into the body can have negative effects on health, the CDC and FDA maintain that licensed and recommended vaccines containing mercury and aluminum do not cause neurodevelopmental delays. See the CDC’s list of vaccine excipients for FDA licensed vaccines, including vaccines that contain mercury and aluminum, here.References:1 Healthy Babies Bright Future. What’s in my Baby’s Food?

KANYE WEST DEFENDS JOEL OSTEEN TO STANDING OVATION DURING LAKEWOOD SERVICE: “GOD IS NOT THE NEGATIVE PART”
BRITTANY PETTIBONE-SELLNER:
THE WORLD IS BEING RUN BY CHILDREN
“In January 2019, West re-affirmed his Christian faith on Twitter. His wife Kim Kardashian described West’s Christian new birth experience in September 2019: “Kanye started this to really heal himself and it was a really personal thing, and it was just friends and family…He has had an amazing evolution of being born again and being saved by Christ.” In October 2019, West said with respect to his past, “When I was trying to serve multiple gods it drove me crazy” in reference to the “god of ego, god of money, god of pride, the god of fame”, and that “I didn’t even know what it meant to be saved” and that now “I love Jesus Christ. I love Christianity”.”
Kanye West Testimony Lakewood Church Joel Osteen Houston Texas 11/17/19

“There’s a lot of people in the Christian community that try to give Joel a hard time because when you turn on the radio, he keeps on showing you how good God is,” West said to much applause, with many standing to their feet. “God is not the enemy. God is not the negative part. God is not just the perception of fire and brimstone.”“God is love, is the greatest, is the glory,” he continued. “God is family. God is friendship. God is prosperity. … Keep your eye on the beauty and the love and the grace of God. The grace that allows us to be here today with all of our sins. We know that when we accept Jesus as our lord and savior, we will be granted eternal life.”Osteen nodded.“That’s so good. I love that. When you’ve got Kanye defending you, you’ve made it, man,” he quipped.During the 20-minute interview, the two talked about West’s journey and the messages in his new album “Jesus Is King.” West said that he wanted his previous record, “The Life of Pablo,” to be a Christian album but didn’t know how because the gospel had not been shared with him.“I didn’t know how to totally make a gospel album and the Christians that were around me were too — I would say — beaten into submission by society to not speak up and profess the gospel to me because I was a superstar,” he stated. “But the only superstar is Jesus.”West said that he felt the devil wanted to keep him in the dark as well.“Even for someone who’s professing God and saying, ‘This is going to be a gospel album,’ the devil’s going to come and do everything he can to distract people from knowing how to fully be in service to the Lord,” he remarked.The rapper, who recently started weekly “Sunday Service” gatherings across the country, said that he was brought up in the church, and now being a father, he realizes the “responsibility to be more like my mother … and father.”“We have our own daughters and we still be rapping about how to hook up with somebody’s daughter. Like, not taking responsibility as a man,” West lamented. “That’s why I say in the song ‘Closed on Sunday’ … [about] protecting your kids from the indoctrination of the media, the thousands and thousands of images that are fed to children by the age of six and seven.”Osteen soon played a clip from West’s song “God Is,” which says in part, “Every man, every woman, there is freedom from addiction/Jesus, you have my soul … All the idols, let ’em go/All the demons, let ’em know/This is a mission, not a show/This is my eternal soul.”“You said more in 60 seconds than I say in my 30 minute message,” the megachurch leader remarked.During the conversation, West acknowledged that he has been known for his pridefulness, but said that the difference now is that “[a]ll of that arrogance and confidence and cockiness that ya’ll see me use before God is now [being used] for Him. Because every time I stand up, I feel that I’m standing up and drawing a line in the sand and saying ‘I’m here in service to God and no weapon formed against me shall prosper.'”“The greatest artist that God has ever created is now working for Him,” he later boasted, referring to himself.However, West also outlined at one point, “Christians are not going to be Christ. We are going to follow Christ and be Christ-like and repent for our sins.”“It’s being in constant repentance. A lot of people who don’t want to accept what the Bible says don’t want to accept that they are in the wrong or that they are basking and living and capitalizing on sin,” he said.Explaining that he wanted the people to know what West stands for, Osteen later remarked that the Christian life is not about “turning over a new leaf,” but “about a personal relationship with Jesus, knowing He died for our sins [and] we repent of those sins and we say, ‘God, I’m going to walk with You.'”West then closed out his time in prayer, thanking God for the “hundreds of thousands of people that Joel has brought to Christ” and for being able to be at Lakewood without judgment “next to one of the strongest voices in the Christian community.”Osteen has been a controversial figure among evangelicals as his positive thinking, self-help messages are devoid of preaching on sin, repentance and eternal judgment. His books have included “Your Best Life Now,” “Become a Better You,” “You Can, You Will, ” “It’s Your Time” and “The Power of I Am.”Osteen’s message on Sunday again touched on God opening doors and opportunities for His people, advising those listening to make positive confessions over themselves, such as “I am enough,” “I am strong enough” and “I am attractive enough.”From “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” to “The Late Late Show With James Corden,” West has been making the rounds after publicly declaring that he has been born again and releasing an album entitled “Jesus Is King.”Previously known for profane rap hits such as “Homecoming,” “All Falls Down,” “Stronger,” “Jesus Walks” and the blasphemous “I Am a God,” his new record includes the gospel tunes “Follow God,” “God Is,” “Use This Gospel” and “Jesus is Lord.”West’s weekly “Sunday Service” gathering has featured various speakers from Hillsong New York’s hipster pastor Carl Lentz to Los Angeles-area preacher Adam Tyson, a graduate of John McArthur’s Master’s Seminary. McArthur has expressed concern over Osteen’s lack of teaching on sin and holiness, presenting man-centered messages about God’s blessings and favor.West had stated during a Sunday Service concert in Jamaica that one of his favorite Scriptures is Mark 1:15, where Jesus said, “Repent and believe the gospel.” West implied during his discussion with Osteen that he does not currently have a home church. Tyson had been reported by some as being West’s pastor, but he had only been flown in to Wyoming — where West currently lives — for Bible study.As previously reported, West is scheduled to perform at Lakewood at the 7 p.m. young adult service with his choir. Tickets for the free event were reportedly spoken for within hours of being made available, and the 16,000-seat auditorium is expected to be packed to capacity. A report by Hip Hop Overload claiming that Osteen was paying West and his choir $300K to perform was refuted by Lakewood as being false.____________________________________________________________Justin Peters Exposes Joel Osteen

Yes we know, he makes you feel good... and he's sooo nice. But let's be honest: he's not good for you.
1. He takes Bible verses completely out of context and changes the meaning of God's Word. A lot of times he only uses half a verse! This is not a mistake, girl-he's doing it on purpose! No real man of God would ever do that. Ever! Anybody can hold up a Bible and wave it around, a real pastor dedicates himself to studying it, and then carefully and faithfully explaining it in context. A phony pastor uses it like a prop and pulls stuff out of it to make it say whatever he wants.2. He tells you all the things you wanna hear, but they aren't really true. He's appealing to your selfish "felt needs," because he doesn't care enough to tell you the hard truth that would actually help you. He's promising you all sorts of earthly comfort, prosperity and happiness, but those are empty promises-and you know it. He's leading you on!3. He isn't giving you the really good news-the Gospel of Jesus Christ. You know, the message of repentance and the forgiveness of sins. He should be promising you the one thing a pastor can promise you: the free gift of salvation and eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ; but instead he's puffing you up with false dreams of worldly success. You're falling for that? Once he has ignored the true Gospel, he replaces it with the crazy "God wants to bless you, but He can't-you have to do you're part" teaching. Is he talking about the sovereign God who made the whole universe out of nothing, or is this a genie in a bottle who needs us to figure out the secret password??4. He's getting rich off of you-that's not what pastors are supposed to do! Now, it's true that he's getting rich mostly from his book sales and other income sources (he doesn't need to take a salary from his church anymore), but without the huge audience he gained from his church and it's TV program he never would have become so famous and sold so many books. He is not really helping others to be successful like he claims-unless they all go out and start mega-churches that have TV shows and big-time book publishing deals. He's at the top of the pyramid!5. He has become so huge in popularity and influence, that people think he represents true Christianity in America. You know that's not right! He teaches a "Word of Faith" version of Christianity that doesn't come from the Bible at all-it actually comes from Kenneth Hagin, who plagiarized E. W. Kenyon, and Kenyon was getting ideas from Phineas P. Quimby-the same guy whose non-Christian metaphysical ideas influenced Christian Science. When Osteen says we can "speak things into existence" he's talking about sorcery-not Christianity!6. You're falling for all that bling? Really?? A big fancy stadium, a TV Show, best-selling books... that doesn't mean he's telling you the truth! Are you gonna trust someone with your very soul, just because they're rich and famous? Did you know that Joel Osteen only went to college to study radio and television communications-but he never even graduated? But worse than that, he never studied the Bible or theology at any Bible school, college or seminary-ever! He's making it up as he goes! Real pastors are carefully trained in good doctrine-otherwise they end up saying things about God that aren't true, and they lead people away from the true God!7. He's not gonna be there for you when you need him! He's not a real pastor, he's a millionaire celebrity! A real pastor sits down with you and carefully explains God's Word, week after week after week. This guy is flying around the world, hobnobbing with Oprah and who knows who. A real pastor takes care of his sheep-he doesn't just go onstage and give a little motivational speech once a week. These mega-pastors are completely isolated from the "regular" folks-just like rock stars, big politicians and movie stars.8. He's setting a bad example of a Christian pastor, and you're setting a bad example by following him. Most unbelievers can see that this guy is kind of a joke (or worse), but way too many gullible Christians are propping him up, and we should know better. Basically, having an unqualified, Bible-twisting, multi-millionaire celebrity described as a "pastor" is a very big embarrassment to the Church. If we are going to be credible followers of Christ, we should have credible pastors; pastors who will "contend earnestly for the faith" and who will "speak the things which are fitting for sound doctrine,” not a guy who scratches people's itching ears and tells them what they want to hear.9. Admit it-you like being part of something really really BIG! It's one of the oldest tricks in the book: you're with all those like-minded people and you get to say "I'm a part of something really important and exciting!" It's like you're at the Super Bowl or something. It's no accident that these mega-churches have exciting rock bands with light shows and giant video screens-they are manipulating you until you can no longer resist. Get a grip! This guy will never even know you're name-you're just another seat filler. A real church with a real pastor is not like this. You deserve better!10. Here's a list of shocking things you're not supposed to know; Joel Osteen will NOT mention these Bible verses because he's not a real pastor. Break up with him, and find a real pastor at a real church. You will be so glad to hear the true Gospel of Jesus Christ!
“And I, when I came to you, brothers, I did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.”— 1 Corinthians 2: 1-2
“But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.”— Galatians 6: 14Here are a whole bunch of episodes of Fighting for the Faith where you will see for yourself that Joel Osteen's sermons and ideas are not Biblical.Here is an extensive article that will really help you to be more discerning and less gullible: Defusing Demonic Dirty Bombs.Want to know where all of this prosperity, "Word of Faith" teaching came from?

COMPLETELY UNBIBLICAL:THE LATEST JOEL OSTEEN VIDEO OFPOSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS(COPIED BY JACK CANFIELD & OTHERS)THE BIBLE SAYS: “ALL HAVE SINNED & COME SHORTOF THE GLORY OF GOD”FROM ROMANS 3:23
SAN FRANCISCO: JURY VERDICT: PRO-LIFE GROUP MUST PAY $2 MILLION IN DAMAGES TO PLANNED PARENTHOOD FOR UNDERCOVER VIDEOS OF BABY PARTS SALES
republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and research purposes:
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. — A jury deciding a civil suit in California has awarded Planned Parenthood over $2 million after finding that pro-life activist David Daleiden and his Center for Medical Progress (CMP) caused “substantial harm” by posing as members of a biomedical procurement company and secretly recording their discussions with Planned Parenthood leadership in order to expose the abortion giant’s practices.Daleiden and his colleague, Sandra Merritt, attended abortion industry conferences from 2013 to 2015 under the names Robert Sarkis and Susan Tennenbaum and with the impression that they were representatives of a company they called BioMax Procurement Services. They recorded their conversations as they sought to learn about Planned Parenthood’s abortion practices and harvesting partnerships.CMP then publicly released video footage of the undercover investigation, showing various Planned Parenthood leaders and representatives of biomedical companies callously discussing extracting unborn children from the womb so that their body parts can be collected and sold for research.“We’ve been using them for over 10 years, really a long time, [and we] just kind of renegotiated the contract,” Katherine Sheehan, the medical director for Planned Parenthood Pacific Southwest, said of Advanced Bioscience Resources (ABR) in one video. “They’re doing the big collections for government-level collections and things like that.”“I literally have had women come in and they’ll go to the OR and they’re back out in three minutes, and I’m going, ‘What’s going on?’” Parrin Larton of ABR also explained. “Oh yeah, the fetus was already in the [birthing] canal. Whenever we put her in the stirrups, it just fell out.”“But most of the time, it is not intact,” she added. “The abdomen is always ripped open.. … Everything will just get ripped up, you know. Whenever we have a smooth portion of liver, we think that’s good, because most of the time, just the instruments they go in to pull and it’s just whatever presents first.”The Senate Judiciary Committee released a report in light of the videos outlining its finding that ABR, StemExpress and Novogenics Laboratories purchased the bodily organs of aborted babies from California Planned Parenthood locations, and then resold them at substantially higher prices.“[I]n June of 2014, an ABR technician obtained a 20-week-old fetus at a Planned Parenthood clinic, for which it paid $60,” the committee outlined. “From that one fetus, ABR sold its brain to one customer for $325, both of its eyes for $325 each ($650 total) to a second customer, a portion of its liver for $325 to a third customer, its thymus for $325 and another portion of its liver for $325 to a fourth customer, and its lung for $325 to a fifth customer.”But Planned Parenthood accused Daleiden of initiating a smear campaign to try to harm its organization and soon sued CMP over the matter, alleging fraud, trespass, breach of conduct, and eavesdropping as part of a conspiracy under the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).“The defendants’ plan here was not to find crimes, and it was not about journalism. It was about using any means, including illegal means, to destroy Planned Parenthood,” Planned Parenthood attorney Rhonda Trotter asserted during the six-week trial, according to Courthouse News.Outlets state that U.S. District Court Judge William Orrick III instructed the jury to find Daleiden guilty of trespass.“I have already determined that these defendants trespassed at each of these locations. Because I determined that these defendants trespassed, the law assumes that Planned Parenthood has been harmed and is entitled to an award of nominal damages such as one dollar for each trespass,” he advised on Thursday.Orrick also told jurors that they could not take into account any information that Daleiden discovered during his investigation but only what he knew before launching the undercover project.“The First Amendment is not a defense to the claims in this case for the jury to consider,” Orrick additionally wrote prior to the trial, according to Courthouse News. “Defendants’ argument that they were citizen journalists was admissible as context for the defendants’ case, not as a legal defense.”Jurors consequently concluded that Daleiden’s actions constituted the malice and fraud elements required in order to award Planned Parenthood punitive damages, settling on a payment of $870K. Another $470K in compensatory damages was granted for “security upgrades” and screening, and CMP estimates the total damages, when RICO is factored, to be nearly $2.3 million.Planned Parenthood has expressed satisfaction with the ruling, with attorney Trotter remarking in a statement, “The jury has spoken loud and clear. Those who violate the law in an effort to limit access to reproductive rights and health care will be held accountable.”However, Daleiden believes the entire lawsuit was simply retaliation for publicly exposing Planned Parenthood’s practices and partnerships, and that Orrick was not just in his judgment. His legal team plans to appeal.“Justice was not done today in San Francisco. While top Planned Parenthood witnesses spent six weeks testifying under oath that the undercover videos are true and Planned Parenthood sold fetal organs on a quid pro quo basis, a biased judge with close Planned Parenthood ties spent six weeks influencing the jury with pre-determined rulings and suppressing the video evidence, all in order to rubber-stamp Planned Parenthood’s lawsuit attack on the First Amendment,” he said in a statement.“This lawsuit is payback for David Daleiden exposing Planned Parenthood’s dirty business of buying and selling fetal parts and organs,” also remarked Peter Breen of the Thomas More Society, which is representing Daleiden in court. “Rather than face up to its heinous doings, Planned Parenthood chose to persecute the person who exposed it. I am fully confident that when this case has run its course, justice will prevail, and David will be vindicated.”The two note that Planned Parenthood admitted during the trial that the video footage accurately represented the conversations and that the organization had been compensated by its business partners for the “specimens.”
