What is poisoning U.S. children?
Exponentially-increasing numbers of American children are being diagnosed with a full spectrum of neurological and physiological problems. The federal government, apparently mystified as to what could be causing so many children to be chronically sick, announced in late April that it intends to launch the largest study of children in U.S. history. The National Children's Study will track 100,000 children from the womb into adulthood, examining their genetic makeup, environment, eating habits, home situations and health. The proposed study will span 20 years and cost an estimated $2.7 billion.
“It's big science. It's the same order of magnitude as the human genome project,” said Dr. Peter Scheidt, director of the study's program office at the National Institutes of Health's “National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.”
The study is the government's response to its public health agencies being deluged with questions from concerned Americans suspecting that several government public health policies are behind epidemic increases in childhood asthma, allergies, anger, depression, obesity, autism and other developmental and learning disorders.
Congressional committees have already, at tremendous public expense, investigated mass and mandated vaccination, the use of mercury amalgams, forced medication of the public through fluoridated water and the broad spectrum of complications associated with consumption of synthetic sweetener aspartame and flavor enhancer monosodium glutamate. In 2001, a congressional committee found that 100,000 Americans each year die from the prescribed use of pharmaceutical drugs. [and that number continues to rise each year]
Rather than analyze the vast pool of knowledge and experience that has accumulated over the years and come to an understanding of what is poisoning children now and alter public policies to spare children from exposure to known toxins, the government has decided to study the problem for another 20 years.
