FDA APPROVES PAINT THINNER AS INGREDIENT IN CEREALS https://youtube/watch?v=TCW5Nc9fyWg The challenge to be informed about what we are eating grows ever more complex. Many people trust Trader Joes as one of the smaller grocery store chains offering higher quality foods without unnecessary additives, and other harmful ingredients that can cause cancer, neurological damage, or developmental delays. But one mom recently found trisodium phosphate, an industrial strength paint thinner in her childrens Trader Joes breakfast cereal, and she is wondering what it is doing there. (The ingredient is found in other popular cereals as well). Trisodium phosphate, otherwise known as trisodium orthophosphate, sodium phosphate, or TSP, is well known by construction workers, DIYers, and developers, but not to most parents shopping for their morning meal. It is an inorganic phosphate which can be detrimental to our health. It is often used in place of mineral spirits to remove paint! Just some of the minor problems with eating TSP include: - The reduction of bone density due to mineral leeching - Calcification of the kidneys - Serious irritation of gastric mucosa - Abdominal burning - Shock Pesticideinfo.org says that this substance should be avoided at all cost. Just as Subway removed a harmful additive to their breads recently due to a bloggers pressure and subsequent petition, signed by thousands, this substance needs to be removed from all food, or indigestible items - especially cereals or baby toothpaste that children consume. You can let your local grocery stores know that they shouldnt carry products which contain TSP. You can boycott items yourself that contain it, or you can tell the FDA just what you think of their safe classification of this obvious toxin. Consumers have a right to non-toxic foods, and TSP definitely doesnt belong in a bowl of your kids cereal. A video posted to YouTube Monday shows Las Vegas residents reacting to the news that their favorite cereals contain trisodium phosphate, more commonly referred to as paint thinner.
