Walmart is poisoning our kids

[SamIam]

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

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.

Ummm... You might check the "ammonia in ground beef" thread. This is the heavy metal thread.

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

So where are your numbers. I can write the exact same thing for salt. Salt will kill us all - when that claim also comes with no numbers. We already know Vitamin C supplements are so high as to be on the verge of creating genetic damage. Why did you not also cite Vitamin C?

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.

If you want to know where the exact point is where you become an asshole in your post it is marked above.

Good. You provided numbers. But that says nothing about us being poisoned by Cadnium. Which means your emotional attack is misplaced.

Where are these products that exceed, for example, that 5 microgram number? That Wikipedia citation says nothing useful. Using the same posted logic, we are all being killed also by the sun. Another claim easily proven without numbers.

Where are these 'killing Cadnium' products? That Wikipedia citation says nothing. Does not even give numbers. Even some credibility is challenged repeatedly (see "citation needed"). Your citation defines a threat limit which does not answer my accurately directed challenge. Too much of any heavy metal is dangerous - obviously. But where is Walmart cadnium killing us all? Where are those numbers? The challenge reposted in response to unsupported accusations. Where is this cadnium that is killing us all? You also did not answer that challenge.

There is cadnium in paint. So what? There is also salt in food. Therefore we are being killed by food? Nonsense. Neither fear is justified by any numbers - even Griff's.

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

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