Raw Almonds Banned in U.S.?

[multiverse]

Hi All,

I have heard for years that raw almonds were a great anti-cancer agent, and if I remember well, Edgar Cayce recommended consuming them daily. Well, apparently the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is banning the sale of raw almonds in the U.S. (and also in Canada and Mexico). On her site "Health, Wealth & Happiness site," Stephanie Relfe published an article called "Raw Almonds Banned in U.S.A. Why? (http://www.relfe.com/07/raw_almonds_banned.html)," :mad: in which she says:

The FDA has taken it upon themselves to say that from around Sep 1 2007 all almonds in the USA, Mexico and Canada can no longer be raw. While they will still be labelled 'raw', they will be 'pasteurized'. Some will be pasteurized with steam but many will be treated with a carcinogen Propylene Oxide.She goes on to explain some interesting history and background.

So why would the FDA want to do this? How good indeed must these products be, for them to be banned? Could the pharmaceutical industry feel threatened by simple remedies?!

All the best.

Yes, this ban is the begining of Codex Alimentarius coming 2008. This will ban many vitimins and herbal rememdies . Big Parma has quiietly been buying out small and medium size manufactures of health supplements.
The reasons being A...that eventaully there won't be any alternative health option available to comsumers who must then use their synthetics. B..In the mean time we must buy their inferior versions and they make the profit and C. They want a population that is basically unhealthy with comprimised immune systems ect, so that they cannot fight the inevertable .Global Fascism.
