The World Has Changed, but Monsanto’s Glyphosate Remains
In 2015, the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer acknowledged the carcinogenicity of glyphosate, the main ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide.

Is Your Fish Oil Worthless?

Learning, Unlearning, Relearning: a new view on Humans and their Health
Despite incredible advances in science and technology that have delivered everything from space and deep-sea exploration, skyscrapers, and internal combustion engines, to computers, satellite communications, and organ transplants, progress in many areas that affect large numbers of lives has been very limited. Take for example social development, the prevention or treatment of chronic diseases, the human-induced destruction of the natural environment, or our political systems. Read more.
10 Factors that Undermine our Balance as We Age

The New Wave of Frankenfoods, Coming to a Store Near You
The government is making decisions about genome-edited food that prevent consumers from identifying it, exposing us to potential risks. Action Alert! Did you know that meat from a genome-edited (GE) cow could soon be in grocery stores, and it wouldn’t be distinguishable from other meat? That’s because it will likely not need to be labeled as being GE (or “bioengineered” to use the USDA’s term). Worse, the FDA has cleared this product with only cursory oversight because it believes the GE cows to be “low-risk.” Read more.
