Chip Implants Linked to Animal Tumors

Chip Implants Linked to Animal Tumors; By Todd Lewan; Associated Press; September 8, 2007.

“When the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved implanting microchips in humans, the manufacturer said it would save lives, letting doctors scan the tiny transponders to access patients' medical records almost instantly. The FDA found "reasonable assurance" the device was safe, and a sub-agency even called it one of 2005's top "innovative technologies."

“But neither the company nor the regulators publicly mentioned this: A series of veterinary and toxicology studies, dating to the mid-1990s, stated that chip implants had "induced" malignant tumors in some lab mice and rats.

“‘The transponders were the cause of the tumors,’ said Keith Johnson, a retired toxicologic pathologist, explaining in a phone interview the findings of a 1996 study he led at the Dow Chemical Co. in Midland, Mich.”

Comment: The big Argo companies are really pushing this along with the USDA and the FDA, yet Americans have no idea how NAIS will impact their food. It is so important to know where your food comes from, who grows it, and how it’s processed.
