Hey Pizza Hut patrons, check out what's in the cheese

Hello Evolvers,
I came across this article and thought I'd share it here:

Why Are Sand-Derived Products Added To Food?
By Ted Twietmeyer 12-26-9

Sometime ago, I revealed using Burger King's ingredient list that
silicon dioxide (commonly known as sand) is among several unpalatable
ingredients used in their food products. [1] That old expression
"Eat dirt" isn't that far off from the truth when looking at fast
food ingredients.

Encompassing a quiet but huge market, silicone products come in
many forms. Silicone oil outlawed in breast implants is just one
of many members of the silicone products group.

Silicone products are silicon oxide polymers, with organic
attachments and are technically called polysiloxanes. [4] In simple
terms silicones are POLYMERS.

Just what is silicon oxide? It is a white or colorless vitreous
insoluble solid (SiO2); various forms occur widely in the earth's
crust as quartz or cristobalite or tridymite or lechatelierite. [5]
In other words, this is a related mineral to ordinary sand - before
organic attachments are made during processing.

Many women today do not know that at least 68 silicone-filled breast
implants ruptured while undergoing mammography. This would cause
the oil to be spread to abdominal organs causing serious health
problems. Considerable pressure is required during the mammography
process to obtain an image:

"Mammography requires breast compression, which could contribute to
implant rupture. According to the FDA adverse event database, there
were 41 reported cases of breast implant rupture during mammography
reported between 1992 and 2002. An additional 17 cases of rupture
during mammography were reported in the medical literature." [2]

Many people can readily find silicone in their home or
apartment. Silicone is used as caulking around a bathtub to
prevent leaks. Silicone-based material stays flexible practically
forever. Caulking is just one of silicone's many forms as a
product. For this particular use silicone is a perfect product.

Recently it was discovered that Polydimethylsiloxane (silicone)
is used to manufacture Pizza Hut's cheese. This is the same
silicone-based product banned in breast implants! What food
technologist or chemical engineer in their right mind would even
consider adding silicone oil to cheese during manufacturing? Yet
someone did just that.

This is equivalent to the insanity of connecting one side of
the power line to the metal case of an electric toaster during
manufacturing. It would not be long before something lethal happens
like touching the toaster and the stove, kitchen sink or faucet.

As the writer of an article exposing the Pizza Hut cheese
manufacturing points out, Polydimethylsiloxane is *not* FDA
certified as a food additive. It was approved by the FDA for use as
an anti-foaming agent for food processing plant boiler water. [3]
That only makes logical sense, since silicone oil is not safe to
use as a breast implant filler fluid.

Just writing this article is making me sick, thinking about trying
to digest a food additive used to calk bathtubs or reduce foam in
water. It's down-right disgusting.

Perhaps there is a reason why sand or silicone products are added to
food. For some products these additives may be intended to function
as inert fillers, like the sand used in Burger King products.

Powder detergents are loaded with material that has nothing to
do with cleaning laundry but everything to do with adding weight
and volume. This allows manufacturers to make you think you're
getting your money's worth. If you doubt this, consider the tiny
amount of liquid detergent you need compared to a cup of powdered
detergent. Why should mass-produced food be any different than
soap? A filler is a filler.

The Pizza Hut Cheese expose' is yet another example of how much we
DON'T know about what we're eating. We should not even remotely
imagine for one minute that the government will protect us from
corporate greed. Consider the role of law enforcement they only
show up AFTER a crime has been committed, never before. Government
regulations are no different.

Usually many people have to die first or get cancer before heads are
turned. But by that point it's too late for the victims. People will
get sick and die early in life from food additives like silicone
products or aspartame and big corporations will just continue to
get bigger.

The tombstones of the victims are often the foundation stones for
corporate growth.

Got Pizza Hut? Got Silicone!

By Robert Cohen NotMilk.com2-20-6

Once upon a time, it used to be a beautiful day in the
neighborhood...that no longer applies to the world of 2006.

Good morning, boys and girls. Can you say:

Polydimethylsiloxane?

Polydimethylsiloxane is a substance that is manufactured by Dow
Chemical and is primarily used in food-manufacturing factories as
a de-foaming agent for commercial boilers.

Polydimethylsiloxane is not approved for use as a food additive,
yet, Pizza Hut is using this silicone-based chemical as a stabilizer
for cheese on its patented pizza products. Some of those pizzas go
directly to your child's schools and are served at lunchtime.

In order to preserve their frozen pizzas, Pizza Hut claims that
their silicon emulsifier is a necessary preservative and emulsifier.

Although the package does not list its own secret formula, it does
list "other additives" under the guise of this patent:

Patent # 4894245

A review of the United States Patent Office website confirms this
story that was first reported on page 5 of the February, 2006 issue
of Pete Hardin's "Milkweed." The actual patent:

http://tinyurl.com/7d6t8

The following is included in the online patent:

"A silicone emulsifier (Dow Corning FG-10) is mixed with water to
form a 0.05% emulsifier solution. This solution is sprayed on the
frozen cheese granules at a rate of 1.75 parts of solution per 100
parts by weight of cheese."

Our children are eating silicon in school cafeterias. Silicon
is not an approved substance for human consumption. Neither
is Polydimethylsiloxane, or formaldehyde which results as a
byproduct when frozen silicone-sprayed pizza is subjected to
heat. Polydimethylsiloxane breaks down into formaldehyde when
subjected to heat in excess of 150 degrees centigrade. See:

As guardians for all children, should we continue allowing school
kids to naively ingest silicone and formaldehyde?

How dangerous is formaldehyde? The National Cancer Institute reports:

"Formaldehyde has been classified as a human carcinogen
(cancer-causing substance) by the International Agency for
Research on Cancer and as a probable human carcinogen by the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency." See:

Write a letter to your local school board. The health of our children
is in great jeopardy.
