In April of 2023, somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight, the internet did that thing it does. A Product Safety Datasheet for a cleaning product was associated with the new and mysterious Gates Industrial Complex food coating Apeel. I debunked it (or tried) because one of the services we like to think we provide is protecting our readers from sharing the many obvious frauds peddled as news or truth. In the course of that argument, I said this.
For the record, I know very little about Apeel.com’s Edipeel, except that it is not used as a neutral hard surface cleaner made by Evans Vanodine. It may yet prove some sinister plot by globalists to shrink the size and effectiveness of transwomen’s testes or to inflame their girly little prostate. I have no idea. It might just be a useful plant-based food covering that will one day double at keeping the insects fresh so you can poison yourself with chitin.
That’s not my point today, so feel free to avoid it, but please do us a favor. If you see the APEEL cleaner data sheet presented as the fruit-coating in your virtual travels, link to this piece (or anything similar) so we can prevent anyone else from doing that of which we are so often wrongly accused. Spreading misinformation.
Apeel still has a lot NOT going against it. First, Bill Gates; second, it continues to be a mystery product lacking even basic consumer information, and no one in the globalist community seems all that interested. That might explain why the anti-GMO crowd, most of whom are likely suffering their fourth or fifth case of covid (boosters will do that to you) followed by Paxlovid rebound, aren’t squawking like buzzards on a shit wagon. Sorry, that’s not entirely true. The Organic Industrial Complex isn’t saying much, but there is concern among the peeps.
St. Johns Organic Beef Farm in Emmet, Idaho, had this to say.
Apeel is made of purified monoglycerides and diglycerides, which are edible fatty acids commonly found in the often discarded parts of fruits and vegetables. These types of fatty acids may contain trans fats, which are known to cause obesity and metabolic syndrome.
The problem is the extraction process contains exposure to industrial petrochemical solvents and heavy metals. Apeel tested the amounts of these solvents and heavy metals in their submission statement to the FDA (page 14).
Apeel contains lead, cadmium, arsenic, palladium, and mercury. It claims to be in small enough amounts to not negatively impact the consumer, thus the USDA’s “Generally Recognized as Safe” classification.
Apeel says you’d need to eat an obscene amount of coated product to achieve a volume approaching dangerous, and that may be true. We’ve long reminded people that the doose make the poison. In a recent piece on metals in dark chocolate, I reminded readers that “Exposure over time may have complications and will if it is high enough but not if it’s low enough. That always gets left out.” To which i’ll add, “depending on the thing as it relates to the agenda.” Finding a way to get people to use less water ‘cuz climate change eerily coincided with the PFOA water scares. Just sayin’.
Over at Nutrition With Judy, you can find a long, well-researched treatise on Apeel, including at least a few obvious problems with the base chemistry and its potential impact on human beings and, I don’t mean trace metals. “Per its website, Apeel Edipeel is composed entirely of purified monoglycerides and diglycerides,” whose production, for the record, is carbon intensive (in case you care).
Monoglycerides and diglycerides are heavily processed, chemically-laced seed oil byproducts that contain trans fats. Trans fats are known to promote inflammation throughout the body and have been linked to cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity. Studies also show that trans fats can have an adverse impact on the brain and nervous system, diminish mental health performance, distort cell membranes, lead to infertility in women, and compromise fetal development. In 2006, the FDA began requiring manufacturers to list trans fat on food labels. However, this law applies to lipids and not emulsifiers such as mono- and diglycerides. In 2018, the FDA banned the addition of trans fat to foods, but since mono- and diglycerides are classified as emulsifiers, the ban doesn’t apply to these additives. They can actually be used in any food without any limitations.
Nice loopholes you got there. It’s nice to see it applies to Globalist-backed Apeel. And no, we’ve not really answered the question as to whether Apeel is safe, but I haven’t run into it anywhere I shop. If I did, would I have the choice to purchase products without it, and if not, would that change my choice of markets or grocery stores? That is a question for each of us to answer, but before you do, listen to what this guy has to say.
