Big Pharma is big on pollution Mercola
- “Researchers tested for 14 antibiotics in rivers spread across 72 countries worldwide, finding antibiotics in 65% of the sites tested”
- “The researchers then examined fish native to the [Puget] Sound (juvenile Chinook salmon and Pacific staghorn sculpin) and detected 42 of the chemical compounds in their tissue, some at levels high enough to affect growth, reproduction and/or behavior.”
- “23 pharmaceuticals, including antidepressants, sedatives, antibiotics, painkillers and anti-cancer drugs, in perch fish in Sweden”
- “The pharmaceutical industry releases 48.55 tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) per million dollars, which works out to about 55% greater emissions than the automotive industry”
Many diseases are becoming antibiotic resistant and are increasing- examples: TB, Leprosy
Childhod Antibitoics cause many health problems
Antibiotics in urine and thown awy end up in waterways
Septic system are known to fail if there is excess antibiotics in the urine
Antibiotics given to farm animals end up in meat and water consumed by humans
- 5 Antibiotic courses raised risk of diabetes by 37 percent (200,000 diabetics, more than 1 year after antibiotic) - 2015, 2016
- Antibiotic usage US map is very similar to obesity US map - June 2015
- Antibiotic resistance will kill 300 million in 35 years, FDA doing nothing, UK considering wrong things – Feb 2015
