First Human Trials of Genetically Modified Bananas Underway

Dave Mihalovic, Prevent Disease Waking Times The Queensland University of Technology (QUT) had previously signed an agreement with India’s department of biotechnology to invest in a four-year project to develop GMO iron-rich bananas. Now, a researcher at the QUT has led a scientific effort to create GMO bananas with funding from the Bill and Melinda

Scientific Proof that Our DNA is Mutating

Gregg Prescott, In5D Guest Waking Times Imagine being able to activate your dormant, “junk” DNA?  In recent news, scientists and geneticists have discovered three and four strand DNA in human cells while some geneticists believe we may soon evolve to a 12 strand DNA. To those who may dismiss this theory, and article entitled, “Spontaneous

7 Reasons To Stop Eating Bread

Natasha Longo, Prevent Disease Waking Times Bread is almost sacred in many cultures and society, but processed breads today are not what they were forty years ago. More than 70 percent of people who eliminate bread cold turkey experience an immediate weight loss within the first two weeks. It is wrongly placed at the bottom

The Complete History of Monsanto, The World’s Most Evil Corporation

Hanzai E, Lost in the Bamboo Forest Waking Times Of all the mega-corps running amok, Monsanto has consistently outperformed its rivals, earning the crown as “most evil corporation on Earth!” Not content to simply rest upon its throne of death, atop a mountain of rotting corpses, it remains focused on newer, more scientifically innovative ways to harm the planet

Wave of GMO Labeling Victories Emboldens Movement to Take Back Food Democracy

Michele Simon, EcoWatch Waking Times The East Coast has been getting most of the attention lately on the state by state effort to label genetically-engineered food. Vermont recently passed a bill and New York State’s bill is now moving. But let’s not forget about the western states, which are also critical to this fight. Right to know advocates in Oregon and Colorado are currently

Why You Are Insane If You Think GMOs Are Safe

Sayer Ji, Green Med Info Waking Times You are insane if you are drinking Biotech’s GMO-infused Kool-Aid. Here’s why… Let’s put aside the debate about antigenic proteins introduced by transgenes in GMO crops. Transgenes are genes from species that are not naturally present in crops of feed or food importance, e.g. spider genes, bacterial genes, viral genes,

Transhumanist Singularity – The Ultimate Escapist Agenda

Julian Rose, Contributor Waking Times Bare with me, for this may not be an easy read – but we need to crack the code of this much discussed vainglorious chimera. Which is not to say it doesn’t exist – it does. Yet it exists as a by-product of minds that operate in a sub human

GMO Grass: Coming to a Lawn Near You?

Charlotte Warren and Ronnie Cummins, EcoWatch Waking Times Monsanto and Scotts have begun testing the first genetically engineered (GE) grass, intended for both consumer and commercial use. Scotts Roundup-Ready Kentucky Bluegrass, genetically engineered to withstand massive amounts of Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide, is unregulated, will not be labeled “GMO” (genetically modified organisms), and because of the ease

“Extreme” Levels of Roundup Detected in Food—Are You Eating This Toxic Contaminant?

Dr. Mercola Waking Times In 2009, a French court found Monsanto guilty of lying; falsely advertising its Roundup herbicide as “biodegradable,” “environmentally friendly” and claiming it “left the soil clean.” We’re now starting to understand just how false such statements are. For example, last summer, a groundbreaking study revealed a previously unknown mechanism of harm from glyphosate, the active

Why is There GMO Sugar In Salt?

Heather Callaghan, Contributor Waking Times Great April Fools’ Day prank idea: Switch up your loved ones’ sugar with salt. When they spit out their coffee and comment on the saltiness you can insist that it’s really sugar and that there’s nothing wrong, giving the prank a twisted flair. But you’d be right – because there’s

Genetic Fallacy: How Pesticide Companies Silence Scientific Dissent

Dr. Mercola Waking Times There are plenty of indications suggesting that the evidence-based paradigm across sciences is built on quicksand, having been largely bought and paid for by many major multinational corporations. Nowhere is this more evident than in the chemical industry, where pesticide companies posing as “biotechnology” firms specializing in genetics have peddled their

Genetically Modified DNA Transfers From Food to Human Blood

Natasha Longo, Prevent Disease Waking Times The inclusion of genetically modified (GM) plants in the human diet has raised concerns about the transfer of transgenes from GM plants to humans. Contrary to the claims by biotech giants such as Monsanto, a report in PLOS One shows that that meal-derived DNA fragments are large enough to carry complete

Despite Majority Opposition, GMO Corn Gets Green Light in Europe

John Deike, EcoWatch Waking Times Corporations, backed by influential lobbyists and western governments, dealt major blows this month against activists who are fighting to limit the cultivation of genetically modified organisms(GMOs). The European Commission gave DuPont Pioneer the green light to freely grow insecticidal corn, also known as TC1507. Photo courtesy of ShutterstockOn Feb. 11, the European

Roundup Accumulates in GMO Food, Proving Its Lack of Safety

Sayer Ji, Green Med Info Waking Times An important new manuscript accepted for publication in the journal Food Chemistry disproves the widely held notion that GMO crops are ‘substantially equivalent’ to their traditional counterparts; a notion which forms the basis for national and international agencies – including the U.S. FDA, the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization

The Incredibly Flat World of Monsanto

Barbara H. Peterson, Farm Wars Waking Times New scientific discovery reveals DNA manipulation can create mutations due to ignorance of gene control mechanism. There was a time when science dictated that the world was flat, and that if you reached the edge, you would simply fall off. What they couldn’t see, they proposed to be

Genetically Modified Apples Which Eliminate The Browning Process Soon To Be Approved

Natasha Longo, Prevent Disease Waking Times Since the genetic code of the apple was mapped by researchers a few years ago, scientists have explored gene silencing and other manipulation techniques to alter one of nature’s most healing superfoods. Genetically modified apples may soon enter the food supply under the guise of preventing browning. First, though, officials

7 Foods a Nutritionist Would Never Eat

David Dack, Contributor Waking Times Certain foods have been shown to be the culprit to some of health troubles that we are facing today. From obesity, high cholesterol, severe migraines, even cancer and heart disease, these foods are slowly poisoning the human species, leading to unfathomable losses in health care and human costs. Therefore, to

How Biological Farming Can Transform Your Food Supply for the Better

Dr. Mercola Waking Times Jerry Brunetti, an internationally renowned speaker, is the founder of Agri-Dynamics, a company that provides holistic animal remedies for farm, livestock, and pets. He’s also a co-founder of EarthWorks Natural Organic Products, which provides products and consulting services. Brunetti is a cancer survivor who can say he saved his own life
