Pesticide foodstuff database
"Billy" wrote in message ... In article ss, "gunner" wrote: Ahhh! It is obvious from your posting history you don't take the time to read and certainly don't use higher order thinking skills to put facts together. IN this case again, you didn't read the data you so quickly endorsed, did ya? Typical Billy, then you try to cover your tracks with pure unadulterated BS and more links you still didn't read. Google is not your friend Billy. As well, I have to laugh about your use of the word use "citations" as well as the way you attempt to "bait" someone. You have obviously have a lot of practice on the playground. If you would have read and verified the PAN site you would know PAN uses the USDA's PDP test data, a fact they talk about in several places, in fact WOMF specifically references they use the PDP and the PesticideInfo.Org ( which is also themselves). On their PesticideInfo.Org site they state they use the PDP and a few other source references most of which are again FED papers of some agency or other. So once again the database traces back to the PDP as the primary source of all the data used by PAN. Now how bizarre is that ! Because of my training and experiences I have to ask why? I can't come up with anything other than they just another 501 c. 3. looking for money, scare money is pretty easy to get from the uninformed. so here is your "citation" (In my business its source or reference ) , check out the page: Apple Sauce .... snipped... Footnotes 1. Tests for any given food are often conducted in multiple years. In all cases WhatsOnMyFood shows...snipped... 2. All pesticide residue results on this page and elsewhere on the WhatsOnMyFood website were obtained by the United Stated Department of Agriculture (USDA) Pesticide Data Program (PDP) 3. Punzi, JS, Lamont, M, Haynes, D, Epstein, RL, USDA Pesticide Data Program: Pesticide Residues ...snipped... 4. All toxicological data was either compiled for this site - typically from U.S. EPA reregistration eligibility decisions - or obtained from data compiled for the PesticideInfo website Here, let me further help you do your research, this is the summary of the 2007 report PAN used for their pie chart website presentation: http://www.ams.usda.gov/AMSv1.0/getf...TELPRDC5074338 2007 data, published Dec 2008 "PDP analyzed 11,683 samples of fresh and processed food commodities in 2007, excluding groundwater and drinking water. Overall, the percent of residues detected (the number of residues detected divided by the total number of analyses performed for each commodity) was 1.9 percent. Over 99 percent of the samples analyzed did not contain residues above the safety limits (tolerances) established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and 96.7 percent of the samples analyzed did not contain residues for pesticides that had no tolerance established." Seem like we got an Ivory Snow report card Billy, 99%!!!!! so go back to that little pie chart fluff, ground clutter thingies and verify that none exceed the allowable safe limits. Not a one Billy, not a one should exceed the EPA limits, ok maybe the one%. Bottom line.... PAN just downloaded the USDA data base, framed it, added some whirligigs to get your attention and poof ....Its magic,.... please send your dollars to support our important research. Again, understand the data presented. This is presented in a very prejudicial manner, designed to alarm. "OMG this has pesticides on it!" Americans do not seem to understand the nature of statistics, especially about measurements of parts per billion (ppb), for reference 1ppb is equal to 1 minute in 2000 years I recommended Dr. Bruce Ames, the noted Microbiologist for you to read because his research on cancers and carcinogenicity are world renown. But since you don't do much more than goggle and wiki, here is a synopsis link for you to scoff at: http://www.nytimes.com/1994/07/05/sc...l?pagewanted=1 or http://tinyurl.com/nkltzn. I will warn you, like most of your "citations", this reference is a bit old but still very relevant to what he has discovered especially if you can find other writings using his works. Most all his papers are locked up behind password access but you can certainly write to him on his website and ask for copies. I find most Profs want to share, well perhaps except when you slanderously infer them a corporate shrill with your unique style of research. Just remember most here do understand and endorse being green, It is just the fringe lunacy gets a bit much with you. Certainly the co-mingling of extraneous " citations" doesn't help your cause. Good luck in your quest for the holy grail. My best to you this new day Billy. Gunner In all lies there is wheat among the chaff... - A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court |
