Insanity: US Approves Bee Death Pesticide as EU Bans It Corporate politics is business as usual inside the United States, as I am once again shocked to report the EPA has sided with industry lobbyists over public health in approving a highly dangerous pesticide that the European Union recently decided to ban over fears of environmental devastation. Not only have neonicotinoid pesticides been linked repeatedly to mass bee deaths, also known as Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), but the continued use of such pesticides threatens other aspects of nature (and humans) as well. What’s even more amazing is that the decision not only comes after the EU publicly discussed the major dangers surrounding the use of the pesticides, but after the USDA released a report surrounding the continued honeybee deaths and the related effects — a report in which they detailed pesticides to be a contributing factor. And there’s countless scientists and a large number of environmental science groups speaking out on this. The EPA has no lack of information the subject.
Break a sugar addiction in a week using three simple steps (NaturalNews) Refined sugar is a drug that is similar to opiates in its power to become addicted to it. The Journal of Psychoactive Drugs stated in a study published in 2010 that sugar releases euphoric endorphins in some people's brains in a manner very similar to that of certain drugs which are commonly abused. "Sugar addiction" follows the same pathways in the brain that a habit-forming drug does. Fortunately, sugar cravings can be stopped within a week of withdrawing from the white crystals. The entire scope of drug addiction has been observed in people with sugar addiction. In addition, sugar addicts often become narcotic addicts, according to the above study. The first step in breaking a sugar addiction is to make sure all fruits and vegetables consumed are 100 percent organic. There are approximately 260 calories in just one cup of a commercial brand of vanilla ice cream, along with 14 grams of fat and 28 grams of refined sugar. Sources:
Google+ Is Walking Dead Today, Google’s Vic Gundotra announced that he would be leaving the company after eight years. The first obvious question is where this leaves Google+, Gundotra’s baby and primary project for the past several of those years. What we’re hearing from multiple sources is that Google+ will no longer be considered a product, but a platform — essentially ending its competition with other social networks like Facebook and Twitter. A Google representative has vehemently denied these claims. “Today’s news has no impact on our Google+ strategy — we have an incredibly talented team that will continue to build great user experiences across Google+, Hangouts and Photos.” According to two sources, Google has apparently been reshuffling the teams that used to form the core of Google+, a group numbering between 1,000 and 1,200 employees. As part of these staff changes, the Google Hangouts team will be moving to the Android team, and it’s likely that the photos team will follow, these people said.
GMO Food - It's Worse Than We Thought - Dr. Russell Blaylock GMO Food — It's Worse Than We Thought Over the last decade, as genetically modified, or GMO, foods have increasingly taken over our food supply, we've been learning more about their dangers to our health. Now, one courageous doctor is pointing to mounting evidence that leaves no doubt — GMO foods are even worse than we were told. As this respected doctor points out in a riveting new presentation, no long-term human studies have ever supported GMO safety. Shockingly, the World Health Organization only requires a mere 90 days of testing to claim that GMOs are safe. Yet while lifetime studies still have not been done on humans, scientists have done these studies on animals — and what they found is stunning. Shockingly, 50 percent of the males and 70 percent of the female animals on the GMO diet succumbed to early death at an age equivalent to 40 to 50 human years. Fortunately, one courageous doctor has stepped up to the plate. Dr. And those stickers pasted onto fruits and vegetables?
A Sour Deception: Citric Acid Comes From GMO Black Mold, Not Fruit Aaron DykesActivist Post Just what is your food made of, anyway? Try industrial synthesis, genetically modified mold secretions, hydrochloric acid, mercury-contaminated caustic soda, ferrocyanide… and, of course, lots of GMO corn. If common ingredients like “citric acid” and “ascorbic acid (Vitamin C)” sound normal and familiar enough that you practically conjure up an image of the flourishing orchard they were grown in – then think again. Picture instead an industrial factory, carrying out protocols developed in a lab, produced with enough winding nozzles, tanks, valves, pipes and other thinga-ma-jiggers to create a meandering and disorienting Dr. Instead, mass produced citric acid and ascorbic acid are hidden GMO ingredients that reportedly set off allergenic responses for some sensitive consumers. Feel free to peruse these blogs and forums for complaints about citric acid from those allergic or intolerant to citric acid itself, mold & yeast and/or corn. Photo credit Aaron Dykes.
FAQs | SweetSurprise.com Yes, there are no safety concerns. The safety of high fructose corn syrup is based on science and expert review accumulated over the past 40 years. In 1983, the FDA listed high fructose corn syrup as “Generally Recognized as Safe” (known as GRAS status) for use in food and reaffirmed that ruling in 1996. GRAS recognition by the FDA is important because it recognizes a long history of safe use as well as adequate scientific studies proving an ingredient’s safety. Hear from an expertLara Field, R.D., answers the question: Is HFCS a safe ingredient? single video player for FAQ on desktop site John White, Ph.D. noted, “Its safety was never seriously doubted because expert scientific panels in every decade since the 1960s drew the same conclusion: sucrose, fructose, glucose, and, latterly, HFCS did not pose a significant health risk, with the single exception of promoting dental caries [tooth decay].”
Here’s why tech companies’ NSA ‘transparency reports’ are mostly a PR stunt Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. (Susan Walsh/AP) Technology companies will soon be able to disclose more details about the number of national security orders and requests they receive, according to a joint statement from Attorney General Eric Holder and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. As a result, Facebook, Google, Yahoo, LinkedIn, and Microsoft are dropping their petition to the FISA Court requesting the ability to tell consumers more about this type of data. But that's all transparency reports produced by tech companies are about: good PR. "It is commendable that the companies pressed the government for more openness, but even more is needed." argued Alex Abdo, staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union’s National Security Project. But five months since the announcement, that data still hasn't been released. So as long as this data can only be seen on a piecemeal, company-by-company basis it's impossible to gauge the larger picture.
Natural News Blogs Cancer is Mainly Caused by The Intake of Acidic Food Cancer main cause is by the food we eat. Some time ago we consumed a diet of mainly alkaline food but that has changed and rate of cancer also. The majority doctors don’t inform you on the correct food to eat to stay free of cancer and what to eat to cause the body to remove it naturally. The Foods we eat in today’s time contain both acid and alkalinizing forming elements. We see more people with cancer today than ever before and it’s because of the typical western diet is far too high in acid producing foods such as animal products which include dairy products. The foods we use to eat like freshly grown fruit and vegetables where much better for us, so the best solution is to make some dietary changes. The easiest way to find out what foods are either alkaline or acidic is too research which foods are alkaline or acidic more so than others, also test your alkaline level often. Some of the alkaline foods are; fresh fruit and nearly all freshly grown vegetables.
GMOs could cause 'irreversible termination of life' on Earth, risk expert warns (NaturalNews) When discussing the issues surrounding genetically modified organisms (GMOs) -- that is, organisms bearing the genetic traits of other species or bacteria -- the focus is typically on how safe (or unsafe) these novel, food-like products are for humans. But distinguished risk engineer and two-time best-selling author Nassim Taleb thinks an even bigger problem with GMOs is their threat to the planet, and the statistical likelihood that they will eventually lead to the collapse of life on Earth. In a new study, which is still in draft form, this professor of risk engineering from New York University uses statistical analysis to make the case that GMOs, by their very nature, will disrupt the ecosystems of this planet in ways that mankind is only just beginning to comprehend. "Genetically Modified Organisms, GMOs fall squarely under [the precautionary principle]... because of their systemic risk on the system," explains Taleb. Sources for this article include:
Sweetener warning: Acesulfame Potassium contains methylene chloride, a known carcinogen (NaturalNews) Is Acesulfame Potassium in your protein shake? Is this synthetic funk, also known as "Acesulfame-K," in your chewing gum? What is this stuff really made from and what does it do to your body? Is it just like Aspartame, a known cancer causing and genetically modified sweetener? Acesulfame-K: Acesulfame-K (aka "Ace-K") is a potassium salt containing methylene chloride, a known carcinogen. Also, of all the artificial sweeteners out there, Acesulfame-K has undergone the least scientific scrutiny. Artificial sweeteners represent what most Americans trade for convenience and laziness. America, for the most part, accepts disease and disorder as normal, as if it was their car breaking down after 100,000 or 200,000 miles. Yes, we are the guinea pigs, my friends. If you look online under "Sweet Misery" or if you research 75% of the complaints sent to the FDA over the past decade, you will find everyone who is suffering and trying to do something about this food quality avalanche.
Is Monsanto Giving Up On GMOs? Is genetically modified seed giant Monsanto doing the unthinkable and moving away from genetically modified seeds? It sounds crazy, but hear me out. Let’s start with Monsanto's vegetable division, Seminis, which boasts it is the "largest developer and grower of vegetable seeds in the world." Monsanto acknowledges Seminis has no new GM vegetables in development. According to a recent Wired piece, Seminis has has reverted instead to "good old-fashioned crossbreeding, the same technology that farmers have been using to optimize crops for millennia." Why? But the Wired piece also suggests a factor that doesn't get nearly enough attention: GM technology doesn't seem to be very good at generating complex traits like better flavor or more nutrients, the very attributes Monsanto was hoping to engineer into veggies. Furthermore, genetically modifying consumer crops proved to be inefficient and expensive. Okay, that's vegetables.
