Based on our “back to the future” protocol revision approved by the, we began to contact dairies, creameries, farm organizations, and agriculture-related educational institutions. We assumed that obtaining raw milk would be relatively easy given that the study’s investigators lived and worked in the San Francisco Bay area which included the global birth of the […]

DRAFT: Testing BPA levels in milk: A long circuitous route sourcing dairy for the study
According to U.S. government data, dairy products are the primary source of calcium in the American diet. That’s a primary reason to include dairy in our dietary intervention study of the human effects of Bisphenol A and other plastic-derived environmental chemicals. Indeed, some studies consider milk as an almost nutritionally complete food. And while dairy […]
As terrible as those plastic-polluted ocean photos are, your body is a SERIOUSLY more contaminated by the same chemical garbage
You are the ocean. You are — on average — about 65% water. Your blood vessels flow with a saline solution with chemical properties that ares eerily similar to sea water. Your heart imitates the cadence of waves on a beach — a sound many people find comforting, especially those that keep time with a […]
Why plastic isn’t just plastic (and most can’t be trusted)
NOTE: This is adapted from Appendix 3 of the “Revised Stealth Syndromes Study Protocol as approved by the University of California San Francisco Medical School Committee on Human Research. Plastic chemicals contaminate our food because plastic isn’t just plastic. Instead, what we see as plastic is a mixture of one or more polymers along with […]
Why “BPA Free” is a meaningless marketing scam (And some plastic safety claims are totally dishonest)
BPA-Free Isn’t Always Better: The dangers of BPS, a BPA substitute BPA substitutes may be just as bad as the popular consumer plastic Chemical in BPA-Free Products Linked to Irregular Heartbeats New research shows that BPA-free plastic might still be harmful BPS, a popular substitute for BPA in consumer products, may not be safer New […]
The math behind the ocean/human plastic contamination concentration
Geek note: mass and weight are not the same thing. Mass is a measurement of how much matter is in something. Weight is a measure of the pull of gravity on mass. That’s why an object on the moon weighs 1/6 that of that same object on the earth.(And why astronauts on the space station […]
Radiation, Ebola, lice, bedbugs, ticks & BPA: No matter how hard you try, you can’t avoid plastic chemicals
Risk = concentration + frequency. Radiation, Ebola, lice, bedbugs ticks and Bisphenol A (and other plastic chemicals) have a fair amount in common. Fortunately, you can choose to avoid five of those six, but the third gets forced upon you every minute of every day. First, they are all alike because the damage they can […]
Your cells: Complicated, vulnerable to disruption by BPA and other chemicals
Complicated and Fragile Another reason that such small concentrations can affect you is that they operate inside of tiny cells that are complicated and fragile. And that makes it a matter both of scale and potency. The cells in your body are like a well-run city maintained with carefully balanced mechanisms that produce energy, get […]
Serious flaws found in Lancet study “debunking myth” of healthy moderate alcohol consumption
By Lewis Perdue Co-Principal Investigator Stealth Syndromes Human Study Co-founder, Stealth Syndromes Project Chairman, Center for Research on Environmental Chemicals in Humans NOTE: You may right-click all images to view a larger version The recent Lancet study that found no cardio-protective benefits of moderate alcohol consumption is marred by substantial problems which raise serious concerns […]
The Mendelian Randomization by Millwood et al.: Observations and Expressions of Concern
The recent population study of adults in China that found no cardio-protective benefits of moderate alcohol consumption should be re-examined in the context of methodological and confounding factors not addressed in the published paper. Published in early April by The Lancet, the study provoked sensational headlines among the general media proclaiming the definitive death of […]
