And now please read these research findings.

Presence of tumor promoters in the seed oil of Jatropha curcas L. from
Thailand.

(-----Since the skin of Thai people comes into direct contact with
this seed oil, an epidemiological study on human skin cancer in
Thailand is indicated.)

Intramolecular Diester of 12-Deoxy-16-hydroxyphorbol1

Research conducted around the globe have shown that Jatropha oil
possess carcinogenic properties. I have written in my articles that
farm workers coming in regular contact with Jatropha complaint about
skin allergies and many other health problems.


In above mentioned picture, villager from Ranidhera village is working
with Jatropha oil without any protective measures. Why Winrock is
playing with the lives of poor villagers? Are they denying or ignoring
international publications on Jatropha toxicity? Whether they have
done research on Chhattisgarh Jatropha and its carcinogenic effects?
Why not this organization of international repute must give health
compensation to villagers from the day when they started this toxic
project? Are bosses in base organization aware of hazardous project in
progress by Winrock India?
