[…]but I’ve been reaping the benefits of that karma ever since. I’ve avoided the constant antibiotic injections into animals and the growth hormones. If you ask me, growth hormones are probably very aging, if it’s trying to make cattle age faster. That’s just my own personal opinion. The other thing that I think contributes to a youthful look is a joie de vivre. I really believe that being flexible and grateful contributes a lot to your happiness, which contributes to your health, and contributes to your look. When you feel good, you look good. And vice versa: When you look […]
[…]risk. Because of overprescription by doctors, for things like colds or other viral illnesses that antibiotics can’t help with and a constant source of antibiotics in the food we eat, people may become infected with a bacteria that the antibiotic will not be able to kill. While it is true that these types of infections are very rare there are still more than two million people affected annually in the US and more than 23,000 die from them. Dr.’s are now recommending that parents both stop asking for antibiotics when they aren’t necessary and that they stop feeding their families […]
[…]that adoption of genetically modified-varieties, including those with herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, or stacked traits, accounted for 94 percent of the nation’s cotton acreage. The graph below from the U.S. Department of Agriculture indicates an upward trend on the country’s adoption of genetically modified soybean, corn, and cotton. Monsanto maintains the safety of their product, citing its approval from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which “classified the carcinogenicity potential of glyphosate as Category E: ‘evidence of non-carcinogenicity for humans.’” Monsanto is also demanding a retraction of the World Health Organization’s classification of glyphosate as a possible carcinogen. This is not the first time […]
[…]statement confirms that the company is beginning to transition to serving meat raised without antibiotics and establishes specific deadlines for that process. SUBWAY will begin serving some chicken raised without antibiotics in March 2016, committing to accomplish the same for all chicken in all of its stores by the end of 2016. Turkey raised without antibiotics will begin to be available that same year, with the transition to be completed within 2-3 years, followed by pork and beef within six years after that. Subway’s announcement marks one of the most substantial commitments on antibiotics from a U.S. fast food chain […]
[…]vitamins, minerals and plant compounds. Eating grapefruit can aid weight loss and reduce insulin resistance (40). Furthermore, eating grapefruit may help prevent kidney stones, lower cholesterol levels and protect against colon cancer (41, 42, 43). Bottom Line: Grapefruit contains various vitamins, minerals and plant compounds. It may help with weight loss and provide numerous health benefits. 10. Apples Apples are a popular fruit with a sweet flavor and distinctive crunch. They are available in many colors, sizes and flavors, but generally contain about 13–15% carbs. Apples contain many vitamins and minerals, but usually only in small amounts. However, they are […]
[…]C. diff (Clostridium difficile), a public health threat that is now resistant to a number of antibiotics. C. diff infections can cause severe diarrhea that may progress to colon inflammation and more serious health issues, especially if it does not respond to antibiotic treatment. “Shoes are contaminated from diverse sources, and we are regularly contaminating our doorsteps by shoes,” says study author M. Jahangir Alam, Ph.D. Read more about C. Diff Beyond the C. diff risk, there are all kinds of bacteria that could be sneaking into your home via your shoe: most public restroom floors contain about 2 million […]
[…]product pipeline is not bulging with promising ideas. Mostly, it is more of the same: herbicide resistance and insect resistance. The most revolutionary and innovative part of that pipeline is a technology and not a trait. Many products in the GMO pipeline are made using RNA interference technologies that rely on double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs). dsRNA is a technology with two problems. One is that products made with it (such as the “Arctic” Apple, the “Innate” Potato, and Monsanto’s “Vistive Gold” Soybeans) are unproven in the field. Like its vanguard, a Brazilian virus-resistant bean, they may never work under actual farming conditions. But if they do […]
[…]polish remover, nail polish, top coat, base coat, and hand lotion. Sure, sometimes I meet some resistance, but it’s a small price to pay to get the chemicals out. You can check out the Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep project and Campaign for Safe Cosmetics for some safe nail products. Efforts to get nail salons to follow safer practices has not been very successful. In California, for example, an attempt to ban dibutyl phthalate from cosmetics sold or made in the state was eventually shot down because of lobbying by the cosmetics companies. A much-watered down bill passed that requires […]
[…]these antibiotics to make the chickens bigger quick then get passed on to humans and make us more antibiotic resistance. Sadly people die from antibiotic resistant infections all the time – all for the sake of growing chickens faster for the greedy industry – from the article on selfish chicken companies: “We don’t have all the answers,” said Christine Daugherty, head of sustainable food production at Tyson, in a statement. “But we want to make sure that antibiotics continue to work.” The concern is that the use of antibiotics to treat sick chickens is making the medicine less effective in […]
[…]a chelator; which draws out the vital nutrients of any living thing it touches. It is a patented antibiotic; destroying gut bacteria, where 70% of the immune system lies, and the body’s ability to create Tryptophan/Serotonin, and Melatonin, which regulate insulin/diabetes and protect from sleeplessness, depression, bipolar and violent behavior. It is a proven endocrine disruptor; which impacts, deforms or halts the development of a fetus, leading to miscarriage, birth defects, infertilityand sterility. It is also a cell disintegrator; breaking down the blood brain barrier and allowing toxins into the brain, (correlating the rise of autism with the increased use of […]
[…](liquid soaps) and triclocarban (bar soaps) — could pose health risks, such as bacterial resistance or hormonal effects,” according to a statement released by the FDA. We use tea tree oil sparingly and no antibacterial soaps nor anything from these brands which many experts say aren’t great for the environment, animals (experimentation) or adults and kids. ~ FDA Proposes Ban On Antibacterial Soaps […]
