Environmentally yours

As I've said much too often, it's a dangerous world we've created for ourselves.

• The USDA has issued a massive recall of domestic beef — 143 million pounds of it. That's enough meat to make two hamburgers for every man, woman and child in the United States. The meat was produced by a company who was allegedly using sick and dying cattle as a meat source. The company has also been accused of inhumane treatment of the animals.


• An Israeli study published recently in The American Journal of Epidemiology indicates that long-term, heavy users of cell phones increase their risk of cancer dramatically.


• A recent study presented to the American Association for the Advancement of Science shows that once the genetic structure of sperm is damaged by environmental toxins, the effects can be passed down for generations. The study used rats who were injected with a known toxin which causes damage and overgrowth of the prostate, infertility and kidney problems. The negative effects were still present in the fourth generation.
