Not all disgruntled employees urinate onto a conveyor belt. But at a Kellogg’s plant in Memphis, Tennessee, one man did. He decided to add a little extra liquid to the rice that would soon become those famous Rice Krispies Treats, Rice Krispies Treats Cereal and/or Puffed Rice Cake Products. But really, don’t the ingredients in these products already have enough sugar and carbohydrates? And it […]

Russia’s consumer protection group, Rospotrebnadzor, said the country has banned all imports of genetically modified (GM) corn, following the results of a French study showing massive tumors in rats after having been fed Monsanto’s GM corn. Monsanto, on the other hand, continues to insist that its crops are no different from regular crops, while criticizing the methodology of the […]

Here we go again with glyphosate, that ubiquitous toxin used as Round Up’s primary ingredient. It’s infamous for the ability to kill weeds, along with all those beneficial micro organisms in the soil and in your gut. Oh, yeah, and without it, we can’t feed the world… Not true. Despite the sales pitches and propaganda that farmers will […]

Insidiously, GMOs have crept into our grocery stores and marketplaces over recent decades. At first very few noticed and sounded the alarms, but now a growing urgency has come to the matter as GMOs are everywhere in our lives and they are not being labeled as such. It takes a strong educative effort really know […]

Scientists from the National Research Center in Egypt have once again proven what several other objective, independent studies have been reiterating all along — GMOs are dangerous to human health. After conducting what appears to be the first histopathological and biochemical analysis of GMOs, the study determined that diets containing GM corn and soy cause damage to […]

Researchers from Boston University and Abraxis LLC recently discovered significant amounts of glyphosate in honey. For their study, the researchers tested five categories of food items: honey, corn and pancake syrup, soy milk, tofu and soy sauce. 62% of the conventional honeys and 45% of the organic honeys sampled had levels of glyphosate above the minimum established […]

Biotech giant Monsanto is finally suffering the consequences of poisoning people and the environment with their cancer-causing herbicide, Roundup. Monsanto, which is on record for operating like a vicious mafia, was called out by the World Health Organization last spring when it declared that Roundup’s primary ingredient, glyphosate, is “probably carcinogenic.” Since then, a string […]

For nearly three years now, seed giants Monsanto, Syngenta, DuPont Pioneer and Dow Chemical have been prohibited from growing genetically-modified maize in Mexico, an area that first domesticated the crop more than 8,000 years ago. The ban went into effect after a federal judge suspended authorizations to grow GM maize in 2013, but an attempt […]

Hundreds of scientists from all over the world recently joined forces to decry the alarming threat of Big Biotech’s unauthorized, worldwide GM foods experiment. It’s really quite disturbing to note the extent to which the whole GMO issue remains omitted from mainstream discussions. Now scientists have come together to send a message, one that warns the […]

A California class action lawsuit is about to deal yet another hard blow to the already infamous Monsanto Corporation. According to the lawsuit, glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup, is not only killing plants but also targeting specific enzymes in the microbiome of the human gut. The more we use glyphosate on our crops, the more […]

Now that the whole world is aware that glyphosate is “probably carcinogenic to humans,” thanks to an announcement made by the World Health Organization (WHO), health-conscious customers are now becoming more aware of the ill effects this chemical has on humans. Despite the rising awareness on the issue, however, most people remain ignorant to the […]

The inexpensive and widely known cabbage, a close relative of other leafy greens, such as broccoli, lettuce and cauliflower, has long been used as a medicinal plant by ancient civilizations in the past. Ancient Greeks, for instance, would regularly use cabbage or cabbage juice to treat constipation or mushroom poisoning. The Ancient Egyptians, on the other hand, consumed cabbage […]

Clear Food, the brainchild of food analysis startup Clear Labs, announced a project it says will publicly post scores for foods based on whether or not the food composition matches the label. Unfortunately, while this idea may seem promising, the lab decided it wanted to be a “friend” of the food industry, rather than an impartial, […]

A few years ago, news sources revealed that Bill Gates, the world’s richest man and founder of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, purchased 500,000 shares in Monsanto valued at $23 million, raising questions about the motivations of the charity and its sincerity in aiding poverty-stricken areas around the world. Yet, to people familiar with the […]

To protect its environment from the self-replicating pollution of GMO plants, Hungary has set fire to 500 hectares of GM corn, according to LaJos Bognar, Hungary’s Minister of Rural Development. The planting of genetically modified crops is currently illegal in Hungary, and in 26 other countries around the world. Moreover, in at least 50 countries, […]
