On the heels of the publication of articles questioning the integrity of "certified organic" when it comes to foods and superfoods produced in mainland China, a blockbuster report from China's own environmental ministry slams another exclamation mark on the severity of the problem. For the first time in history, the Chinese government is now openly admitting that severe exposure to chemicals via water pollution, air pollution and environmental pollution is causing the rise of "cancer villages" across China.

Their report states:

Poisonous and harmful chemical materials have brought about many water and atmosphere emergencies... certain places are even seeing 'cancer villages'... (Source)

It goes on to admit:

[China allows the use of] poisonous and harmful chemical products that are banned in developed countries and pose long-term or potential harm to human health and the ecology.

China is a nation being murdered by chemical pollution

China can no longer deny the truth that its nation, and its people, are being destroyed by toxic pollution. To appreciate the magnitude of this admission, you have to understand that China's government is steeped in the practice of denial. All communist regimes are, of course, delusional at every level, but China has taken denial to a whole new depth of mastery with its longstanding insistence that environmental problems didn't really exist. If a Chinese local saw a wave of bright green sludge pouring down a local river and they complained to the government, they were simply told it was caused by "overpopulation," not by a factory dumping chemical sludge into the river.

Pollution? What pollution? Huh?

In reality, China has the worst pollution problems of any modern nation on our planet. It has allowed industry to explode at the cost of devastating environmental destruction. Virtually no environmental regulations are enforced. The air, water and food are all toxic. Ninety percent of the water supply to Chinese cities is severely contaminated, and forty percent of the nation's rivers are extremely toxic.

This is how "cancer villages" appear, of course: People living in China eat the food grown in China. They breathe the air. They drink the water. And then they start mutating at the genetic level. This results in cancer, birth defects and untold human suffering.

How do foods grown in China get certified organic?

There have been warnings over the past few days that the food grown in China can be "certified organic" needs to be seriously questioned. This is especially true given that organic certification does not test for, nor limit, the level of contamination allowed in foods. A food product from China can contain 500ppm of mercury, for example, and still be "certified organic" by the USDA.

How does this happen? The USDA licenses organic certifiers to operate in China. Those local certifiers then visit the local farms and make sure they comply with organic certification requirements. Those requirements include not spraying petroleum-based fertilizers, insecticides or herbicides on crops; not using synthetic hormones in animal feed; not planting GMOs, and so on. But organic standards utterly lack any limits on the pollution of irrigation water sprayed on crops. They do not limit how close your crops can be to a chemical plant, nor do they limit the level of heavy metals contamination in the final product.

So, by definition, a China-grown "organic" food or superfood can be irrigated with toxic chemical runoff, bathed in chemical plant fallout, and grown in heavy metals-laced soil, and still be "certified organic" and sold at Whole Foods!

This realization shocks a lot of people. They had no idea that such heavily contaminated foods could be certified organic and sold at health food stores in the USA.

And now, this new report from China's environmental ministry further supports the severity of the problem there. How are people getting cancer in "cancer villages" all across China? By eating the food grown in China! By drinking the water and breathing the same air that falls on crops in China.

Why would people who are trying to buy the cleanest, purest food and supplements in North America want to source something grown in the same nation where "cancer villages" are sprouting up like cancer tumors?
