University of California Egg Study

Two thoughts:

Based on the labels of many products that I buy, everything causes cancer in California.

The article doesn't mention any kinds of controls. If you are monitoring chemicals introduced after wildfires, don't you need some idea of what was in the eggs before the wildfires in order to make reasonable reports?

Are they paying for shipping....or just providing a label so they go to the right place?

Yes, they emailed me a shipping label pre paid

The same products cause cancer in Indiana as well. The difference is California believes you should know what you are putting in your body.

The area where the Person in the news story is from had billions of dollars fo fire damage. The fire, actually two at the same time, jumped into the City of Santa Rosa. I seem to recall 20 or so people dying in the fire.

As Posted previously, the University has nothing to do with policy, laws, controls on producers or any of that type of thing. Labels warning of cancer risk are based on a law from the 1980s and there is a lot that goes into that.

This study is important because it will help figure out what happens to eggs in a disaster like this. California will likely have more of these terrible fires in the future. If I need to not eat eggs from my backyard for a period of time I would like to do that.

After all, isn't that what withdraw time is when you worm your flock?

The California labeling is not about honest ingredient listings, but claims of scientific knowledge. Considering the demonstrated low rate of science study reproducibility and the extensive history of politically motivated (as opposed to true) government dietary advice, I'll let out a loud scream, every time I see additional claims.

Good for you! We all know people like to make stuff up, like global warming and such. You go ahead and consume those cancer causing foods, you will show them.

I on the other hand am proud to live in a state that cares.

I think I'll be doing this too. Thanks Ron for the heads up.

It's always good to have information, then you can decide to do what ever you want with that info, (part of what makes this a great country to live in) IMHO
