The Problem at the dupont Company: The Work of Alfred Pennington, M.D.
DuPont executives were getting fat. Really fat. No kidding.
Shortly after World War I, the medical department of E.I. dupont, a large American chemical firm, became concerned about the growing obesity problem among the staff. The company hired Dr. |

Into her office, she recalled, came representatives from the U.S. State and Commerce departments, from the American Chamber of Commerce, from Monsanto, dupont, Syngenta, and Dow, the major producers of genetically engineered seed, three out of four of which are U.S. firms (Syngenta is Swiss). |

See book keywords and concepts |  In 1947, the federal government filed a complaint against dupont for violating the Sherman Anti-Trust Act through its cellophane deals. The legal battle was tied up in the courts for years, going all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.70 In a 1956 split decision (with Warren, Black, and Douglas dissenting), the Court sided with dupont. Much of the case centered on whether wax paper, aluminum foil, and cellophane all constituted the same market. The lower court trial judge went so far as to visit the 1952 Annual Packaging Show at Atlantic City in order to research this issue personally. |

American Chemical Council; APCO, where former undersecretary of commerce Stuart Eisenstadt took a job after leaving the Clinton administration and began making regular visits to top European officials, like Nicolas Thery, to argue against REACH; and Hill & Knowlton, which has been representing dupont along with dozens of other U.S. companies. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The only issue is did dupont lie in a massive attempt to continue to sell their product':' This is the point: everyone knew that these products cause cancer, and the executives of dupont lied about it because they were only interested in selling the cookware and making the hundreds of millions of dollars in profits. They didn't care that by selling this cookware virtually millions of people could potentially come down with cancer as a direct result of using this cookware. Are you outraged? I am outraged. Take your Teflon and send it back to DuPont; demand a full refund. |

Huh? Teflon? Wait a minute. Didn't the Swiss Diamond website just claim that the product contained no Teflon?
If you look back at the Swiss Diamond website screen capture, the careful wording of their answer now becomes clear. It states, "The Swiss Diamond coating does not contain any Teflon taking into consideration that “Teflon” is a trade mark, made and owned by dupont. |

To some, I understand, Teflon is an all-American hero, an icon. In 1990, President George Bush presented the National Medal of Technology to dupont for the company's pioneering role in the development and commercialization of man-made polymers over the last half century. The citation given the company by the president lists Teflon as one of these very special products.
There's one problem. |

Just thirty years old, despite the global economic depression, Kehoe had hit the scientific jackpot. A university official told the Detroit Free Press in 1936 that the companies "would meet all salaries and expenses. . . . |

See book keywords and concepts | | The motivation for these arrangements was straightforward—between 1922 and 1925, DuPont's net profit margin on what had only just officially become "rayon" averaged 32 percent.
When the medical publications' nearly twenty-five-year de facto moratorium on examining the effects of carbon disulfide in rayon manufacturing was finally broken in 1928, the change occurred almost in passing. The British Lancet carried a small item quoting the home secretary in its Patliamentary Intelligence section. |

Studies have already proven that the chemicals made by these companies have long-term effects on children and adults. |

Water Ionizers
Water Ionizers are machines that can turn normal tap water into a good cleanser that has antioxidant effects. Water with a negative charge (ORP) is known to retard the aging process. A high or rising ORP, on the other hand, causes oxidation and therefore aging. Machine-ionized water counteracts this rising ORP and has a rejuvenating effect on a cellular level. |

During the 1940s, he wrote editorials for the Journal of the American Medical Association on the cancer risks of solar radiation, aromatic amines, estrogens, coal tar products, arsenic, asbestos and other environmental hazards. In 1948 he began work with the fledgling National Cancer Institute, heading its first environmental cancer section. At first this must have seemed kismet. |

In 1933, as the economic depression spread, Hueper was broke and feared that he was about to become unemployed. At the same time, Germany had begun investing heavily in institutions to study and prevent cancer. In desperation, Hueper put his furniture in storage in Philadelphia, cashed in his life insurance policy and traveled with his young wife back to Germany to try to find a job. |
