Canada - McDonald’s recalls toxic Shrek glassware
Re: McDonald’s recalls toxic Shrek glassware, June 5
I wish Health Canada would apply some of the precautionary principles that are exemplified by McDonald’s Canada.
If long-term exposure to low levels of carcinogenic cadmium is not good for children or adults, we should be reducing it where we can. So why is our drinking water being dosed, as per Health Canada’s firm recommendation, with fluoridation chemicals that contain it? Cadmium, lead and arsenic are allowable contaminants of the phosphate fertilizer factory scrubber waste promoted as magic tooth medicine in tap water.
Is cadmium non-toxic when it comes from a public health policy? I smell a credibility gap.
