By none By Ronnie Cummins “If you put a label on genetically-engineered food you might as well put a skull and crossbones on it.” — Norman Braksick, president of Asgrow Seed Co., a subsidiary of Monsanto, quoted in the Kansas City Star, March 7, 1994 “Monsanto should not have to vouchsafe the safety of biotech food. Our interest is in selling as much of it as possible. Assuring its safety is the FDA’s job.” — Phil Angell, Monsanto’s director of corporate communications, quoted in the New York Times, October 25, 1998 Twenty-two years after the controversial introduction of GMOs (genetically

By Christina Sarich Two South Kona coffee growers have reportedly filed a lawsuit against Monsanto, claiming that the company lied about the possibility for glyphosate, the main ingredient in Round Up, to cause cancer. It’s not news that Hawaii has been drenched in pesticides. The islands have been deemed ‘ground zero’ for biotech companies like Monsanto, Dow, Syngenta, and BASF. Big Ag companies even like to brag that Hawaii is their testing ground for ‘new’ agricultural technologies, meaning their latest pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and the GM crops meant to withstand being drenched by the chemicals.

By Julie Fidler According to a long-standing myth (and it IS a myth), drinking lots of coffee can sober you up if you’re drunk. While coffee can’t bring you back to reality or fix a sick liver, it may protect the organ against damage. Researchers at Southampton University (SU) in the UK conducted a meta-analysis of 9 studies covering data on 430,000 people. They found that people who drink 2 extra cups of coffee a day have a 44% decreased risk of developing liver cirrhosis, a condition associated with long-term heavy drinking that kills more than 1 million people worldwide

By Admin by Alliance for Natural Health New research suggests that a common household food attacks cancer at the root. A recently published study in PLoS indicates that a substance found in ginger called 6-shogaol is a potent agent in fighting breast cancer—much more potent than chemotherapy and much less dangerous. Shogaol—from the Japanese word for ginger, sh?ga (??)—is special because it doesn’t merely target cancer cells in general, but cancer stem cells that are responsible for the growth of tumors. These cancer stem cells, while few in number, can self-renew, split off, and create new tumors, and …read more

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola According to the latest statistics,1 38 percent of American adults were obese in 2014 — an increase of 3 percent compared to 2012. A decade ago, in 2004, about 32 percent of adults fell in the obese category. While many still consider obesity primarily a cosmetic issue, the health ramifications of obesity are indeed severe. The fact that 1 in 5 U.S. deaths is now related to obesity really drives home that point. Over the years, researchers have investigated the notion that you can be overweight yet still be metabolically healthy; but …read more

By Christina Sarich Want a round of Round Up with your beer? The German beer industry is in shock after finding that 14 different popular beer brands have traces of the ‘probably’ carcinogenic herbicide, glyphosate – an ingredient found in Monsanto’s best-selling weed killer, Round Up. Germany’s Agricultural minster is playing down the risks in order to save one of the countries’ best-selling exports. Glyphosate levels were as high as 30 micrograms per liter, even in beer that is supposed to be brewed from only water, malt, and hops. This finding by the Munich Environmental Institute calls into question the

Today, the incidence has climbed to less than 1 in 50, according to CDC statistics.1 Projections from reputable experts suggest that within 10 to 20 years, HALF of all children will have some form of autistic disorder. While there’s a strong component of increased awareness, which means more children are being diagnosed, this still cannot account for the exponential increase in autism incidence.

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide, was once used only sparingly. It had to be, as the herbicide kills basically any plant it touches. This meant that although it killed many weeds, farmers couldn’t safely apply it near their crops, lest they risk killing off their crops as well. It was only used where farmers wanted to kill all vegetation, such as between the rows in orchards or in industrial yards. This all changed in 1996, when Monsanto’s so-called “Roundup Ready,” genetically engineered …read more Read more here: mercola
