Flame Retardant Found In Common Foodstuffs...
Dear Reader,
The need for better monitoring of this nation's food supply is demonstrated by extremely high levels of the flame retardant polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) in, of all things, butter bought at a U.S. supermarket.
The incident is the worst documented case of PBDE contamination in food ever reported in the United States and comes as the result of a study that appears in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives published by the National Institutes of Health.
The just-published investigation was part of a study of chemical contamination in U.S. foods, funded by Pfeiffer Research Foundation. The food samples studied included several hundred foods bought at five Dallas area markets on two different occasions in 2009, including ten samples of butter.
Specifically, the levels of contamination found in one sample of butter were 135 times higher than the average for the nine other tested samples. How could this happen?
The contamination appears to have come from the paper wrapper on the butter, which had levels that were more than 16 times greater than levels in the butter itself, but its unclear if the paper was tainted before or after it got to the butter packaging plant. This is the first time food contamination was thought to come from PBDEs in the packaging of the food itself.
It's not clear yet if the contamination was an anomaly or the tip of a much bigger problem.
Some of the foods we buy all the time may, in fact, be contaminated with these flame-retardants, and in some cases at levels that are remarkably high. The problem might be particularly bad in high fat foods like butter according to University of California, Berkeley assistant professor Kim Harley, PhD. Her earlier work, published in January 2010, found a link between high levels of PBDE and impaired fertility in women.
Research suggests that as many as 97% of Americans have some PBDEs in their bloodstream. No one is sure how they get there - house dust and foods are two possible culprits.
The contamination was uncovered during a routine sampling of different foods in an effort to better understand how prevalent PBDEs and other chemicals are in the foods we eat every day.
These compounds have been used since the 1970s to make plastics, electronics, fabrics and foam used in upholstery, wire and cable insulation, auto and airplane parts. They're stored in the body... and have been found in human breast milk, fish and birds.

Flame Retardant Found In Common Foodstuffs... Continued...
While health effects of such exposure aren't well understood yet, studies have
linked PBDEs to liver toxicity, thyroid toxicity, developmental delays and infertility.
They are being phased out by 2014.
Experts are concerned that while inspectors are out there looking for E coli,
there's no real system for monitoring chemicals in our food supply. It's something
that researcher Arnold Schecter, MD, a professor of environmental sciences at
the University of Texas School of Public Health, finds worrisome - no one is
looking for flame retardant (or other such chemicals) in butter, or any other
food we're eating. Could we be taking in contaminants without knowing?
Experts do know that PBDEs are fat soluble, so those who eat fewer animal products
probably have lower exposure. Cutting fat on meat or fish, drinking skimmed milk
instead of whole might also help reduce exposure.
To your good health,
