Nation’s Pediatricians Call on Congress to Protect Kids from Toxic Chemicals

• CONTACT: EWG Public Affairs: 202-667-6982; leeann@ewg.org
• FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 25, 2011

Washington, D.C. – U.S. pediatricians are putting their considerable muscle behind the calls for Congress to overhaul a failed federal law that has exposed millions of children, beginning in the womb, to an untold number of toxic chemicals.
In its statement, Chemical-Management Policy: Prioritizing Children's Health, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that the 1976 Toxic Substances Control Act be "substantially revised,” as it has “been ineffective in protecting children, pregnant women, and the general population from hazardous chemicals in the marketplace.”
“When the nation’s pediatricians sound the alarm, it’s time for everyone to act,” Environmental Working Group president Ken Cook said. “These are the doctors who see and treat more and more children with autism, ADHD, cancer and other health problems that are on the rise in the U.S. and are associated with exposures to toxic chemicals. It is my hope that all members of Congress take the AAP’s call for reform seriously and think about the children they represent when it’s time to vote.”
“People are innocent until proven guilty, but toxic chemicals should not be,” Dr. Harvey Karp, a nationally renowned pediatrician, EWG board member and author of The Happiest Baby on the Block said. “The chemical industry must take the necessary steps to ensure its products are safe for human health before enter commerce and work their way into our children's vulnerable bodies.”
Senator Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ) took the charge to reform the outdated law once again, and recently introduced the federal Safe Chemicals Act of 2011. Lautenberg’s legislation would establish a protective standard by which chemicals’ safety would be determined. It would go a long way to eliminating spurious claims of confidential business information, which currently allow health and safety information of common chemicals to be withheld from the public, medical professionals and even within the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA would set priorities among more than 84,000 chemicals in the agency’s inventory, insuring the most problematic and hazardous chemicals are acted upon first.

"God expects human beings to take initiative in overcoming the obstacles that they face. Although He requires that we pray and seek anointing when sick (Jms 5:14), this should not be considered a way to merely get rid of the effects-a spiritual "aspirin". Try to learn what caused your ailments and do whatever possible to prevent relapse. In His infinite wisdom, God knows that there is something we can do to change or remove the cause, so that we do not repeatedly suffer the effect," (God's principle of Healthful Living)

God does not want us to be ignorant of how a cause and effect related to healthful living. Applying these principles in a balance way yields great benefits. Healthful living is not a end itself. Avoid getting carried away or becoming obsessed with health- do not make it your god!. (God's principle for Heallthful Living)

If a pharmaceutical company sold a drug with such proven results as that of regular, sustained exercise, it would be extensively advertised on mass media and widely reported on national news. It would net the company billions of dollars. * (God's Principle of Healthful Living)

When the prophet Daniel informed his captors that he could not be defiled by the unclean food and fortified wine served daily to Babylonians, Daniel was not suggesting a random test to see wheatear he would benefit by eating “pulse” (Hebrew: zeroa, food that was sown- grown naturally from the earth-vegetable, fruits, grains, and, by extension, clean meat)-natural food. He knew that fruits CLEANSE, Vegetables BUILT, grains SUSTAIN and herbs help to HEAL. (God's Principles for Healthful Living)

Cuando el profeta Daniel informó a sus captores que él no podría ser contaminado por el alimento y el vino servido diariamente por los babilonios, Daniel no sugería  una prueba aleatoria  para ver si se beneficiaría comiendo "pulso" (hebreo: zeroa, el alimento que fue sembrado- crecido naturalmente de la tierra-verdura, las frutas, los granos, y, por extensión, limpia carne) -alimento natural. Daniel Sabía que las frutas LIMPIAN, las Verduras CONSTRUYEN, los granos SOSTIENEN y las hierbas ayudan a CURAN. (Principios de Dios para Vivir Saludable)
