Do You Know the Difference Between Non-GMO Foods and Organic Foods? You'll Be Shocked!

Do you think that Non-GMO is organic? Think Again! 

Organic food is automatically Non-GMO, 

However, 

Non-GMO isn't always organic.

Do YOU KNOW How much High-Quality Fiber You Really Need?

By Eugenia M. Jarrett

Research shows that the dietary guidelines recommend 20-30 grams per day of High-Quality Fiber daily. However, further research has shown that 30-38 grams are more desirable for even better 'gut' health.

It is really easy to get your needed 30-38 grams of "High-Quality" Fiber in your daily regime and enjoy it also. Soluble and insoluble fibers are in fruits and vegetables, however, most people do not incorporate many of these foods daily to generate good health. 

Why is that?

GMO Golden Rice Approved by FDA - How Safe Is it?

By Dr. Mercola

Genetically engineered (GE) Golden Rice has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), making the U.S. the fourth country to give the GE food the green light, after Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Golden Rice is genetically engineered to contain extra genes that produce a precursor to vitamin A, beta-carotene.gmo 

The rice, which has been making headlines for nearly two decades, was widely touted as a solution to vitamin A deficiency, which affects 250 million preschool-aged children worldwide.1 As the leading cause of preventable blindness in children, it's estimated that up to 500,000 children become blind each year due to vitamin A deficiency, and half of them die within a year of losing their sight.2

Researcher Reveals - Monsanto Knew Since 1981 About The Danger of Glyphosate

When Roundup first came to the rescue of uncontrollable weeds, it was the hottest product in town. Monsanto assured the public that it was safe for the environment starting back in 1981.

"Human Urine Turning into Herbicide...

One interesting experience that got him thinking was when he tried to deter deer from eating his crops. He'd run out of coyote urine, which is an effective deterrent, so he used his own urine.

Curiously, he noticed the weeds where he'd sprayed his urine were dying, despite the fact he'd not sprayed any Roundup there. He then realized his own urine was acting like an herbicide!..."

Researcher Reveals Monsanto Has Known Since 1981 That Glyphosate Promotes Cancer By Dr. Mercola

Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto's best-selling herbicide Roundup, is one of the most commonly used herbicides in the world.

An estimated one billion pounds a year is sprayed on our food crops, 1,2 resulting in the average American eating several hundred pounds of glyphosate-contaminated food every year.

How might that affect your health? Dr. Anthony Samsel is an expert in this area, and in this interview, he reveals a number of glyphosate's adverse effects.

Armed with this understanding, you'll likely be far more motivated to eliminate this pernicious toxin from your diet—and to take action to get it out of our food supply so that everyone can be protected.

Dr. Samsel is a research scientist who is passionate about farming, gardening, and agriculture, making him particularly suitable for investigating glyphosate.

"I was with the 'think tank,' Arthur D. Little (ADL) in Cambridge, Massachusetts for many years working as a research scientist on many types of projects, from product development to environmental sciences to later switching to health sciences," he says.

He's also done contract work for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and as a hazardous materials expert, he's worked for the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the United States Navy (USN), and the United States Coast Guard (USCG).

For example, Dr. Samsel was one of the authors of the Chemical Hazard Response Information System (CHRIS) manual for the US Coast Guard. He is also a valuable contributor to our article comments section (Vital Votes).

Besides his career in science, he also owned and operated several farms in New England, and it was this first-hand experience that led him to begin investigating the effects of glyphosate in the first place.

"I started using glyphosate myself commercially around the farm and my properties back in the late '70s or early '80s, when it first came on the market," he says.

"I believed the hype like all the other farmers and people around the world do, that glyphosate is as safe as salt and that it broke down into harmless chemicals that did no harm. I believed all that stuff until I started studying the chemical.

Being a research scientist, a chemist, I knew what to look for. Having worked in public health, I was familiar with how chemicals had effects on the human body and on animals. So I started approaching it from that aspect.

As far as my own health, it started to suffer. That's what put me on the road to take a look at this chemical because I was using it."

Curiously, he noticed the weeds where he'd sprayed his urine were dying, despite the fact he'd not sprayed any Roundup there. He then realized his own urine was acting like an herbicide!

"I did some controlled experiments in the greenhouse with some plants and the same thing happened. Those plants died. Then, I started looking at my diet," he says.

"The only organic food I was eating was out of my own garden and the stuff that I would preserve. But for everything else, I'd go to the supermarket and I ate boxed food and whatnot. I started to put two and two together; that maybe this was the reason why I wasn't feeling good.

Then I started looking into glyphosate because I was using it. That was my primary chemical exposure other than my food...

Detoxifier, Excellent Chelating Agent, Powerful Blood Builder - News on Chorophyll

Chlorophyll: A powerful blood builder and chelating agent

by Michael Ravensthorpe

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plants responsible for absorbing the light necessary for photosynthesis. It is often considered to be the "blood" of plants, since it comprises the basic physiology of the plant and is required for their basic metabolic functions, such as growth and respiration. While most land plants contain chlorophyll to some degree, those with the deepest green colors contain the greatest concentrations of it.

Do You Know What the "Non-GMO Project" Label Means?

There have been many questions and inconsistencies in the understanding of the "Non-GMO Project" We need to be 'AWARE' and be 'IN THE KNOW' of labeling and exclusions.

The “Non-GMO Project” label only verifies that a product doesn’t contain genetically modified (GMO) ingredients (or technically less than 0.9% GMOs). While that is good, it’s not the whole story about what the product contains, how it was produced, and where it came from.

GM Salmon Threaten Already-Declining Fish Populations

GM salmon threaten already-declining fish populations

by David Gutierrez, Natural News staff writer 

(NaturalNews) The commercialization of genetically modified (GM) salmon could push wild salmon species over the brink of extinction, warns marine ecologist Gerry Goeden in an article published on Independent Science News.

Goeden is a research fellow and advisor to the National University of Malaysia and marine consultant to the Andaman Resort, Langkawi.

Although the FDA has not yet ruled on whether it will approve GM salmon for human consumption, U.S. company AquaBounty has already begun scaling up production of eggs for the GM fish in anticipation of a favorable ruling. If the GM salmon are commercialized, Goeden warns...

Shop for Natural Food Certifiers non-GMO and 'Apple K' kosher items

by Ethan A. Huff, Natural News Staff Writer

You may have heard rumors recently that all kosher-certified foods -- that is, foods that meet strict Jewish dietary standards -- are now free of genetically-modified organisms (GMOs). Unfortunately, these rumors are not true. But there is one kosher certification company in particular, Natural Food Certifiers (NFC), that recently announced it will no longer certify as kosher any foods or food brands that contain or use GMOs.

In a recent press release, NFC, which also offers organic, gluten-free, non-GMO, and vegan certifications, announced that it will no longer accept any applications from manufacturers seeking kosher certification for products that contain
