He starts by claiming it's know that chemicals in the environment cause cancer - the chemicals are known, their existence is known, their source is known.  He ends by saying we must work to discover the environmental causes of cancer.If we already know, why must we discover? 4951

I think by "discover" he means for the EPA to test, recognize, and classify certain chemicals as carcinogens. Monsanto used to print ads that said DDT is good for us. That is the same company that now says that Round Up (glyphosphate) is biodegradable and environmentally friendly. That is the same company that created GMO corn where the pesticide (BT Toxin) grows inside the corn and causes the bugs stomach to explode. Yet they deny it affects the human digestive system. That is the same company that created GMO soybeans and beets that are "Round up ready," meaning they can use insane amounts of Round-up without killing the crops. Pesticides and herbicides are in every packaged and processed food that is not labeled organic, and even in some that are. GMO corn, soy or beets are in nearly every processed food we eat. Don't see it on the label? Look for soy lecithin, vegetable oil, sugar (when not specified as cane sugar), corn syrup, maltodextrin, vinegar. Most of the products that are sold in the US that contain these EPA or USDA approved ingredients are banned in other countries. Or they are labeled to show they contain GMO's.
 
Don't want to poison your children? Buy organic produce, preferably from a farmers market; buy organic or non-GMO project verified packaged food. I don't claim that I do all of these things all of the time. Shopping that way gets very expensive. But I try to avoid mass produced corn & soy products. I try to buy store brand organics when it is cost effective to do so. And I hope and pray that food manufacturers stop putting these poisons in their products. 4951
