If you haven’t ever tried this delicious, nutty-tasting beauty, perhaps it’s time! Many vegans and vegetarians have long used rice and beans as a complete protein source but that only happens when they are eaten together. The reason for this is that most grains don’t have the amino acids lysine and isoleucine, and therefore must be […]

The fight over GMOs is not of narrow importance. It affects us all. Nevertheless, specific scientific concerns are crucial to the debate. I left science in large part because it seemed impossible to do research while also providing the unvarnished public scepticism that I believed the public, as ultimate funder and risk-taker of that science, was entitled to. Criticism of science and technology remains very difficult. Even though many academics benefit from […]

The oil we get from grape seeds is obviously grape seed oil; the oil we get from corn is corn oil, so surely canola oil must come from canola seeds? Well, not quite, because there’s no such thing as a canola seed, at least not here on planet earth. Canola oil actually comes from rapeseed, and in the past it was simply known as rapeseed oil. At that stage, rapeseed oil was not used in the food industry. Instead, it was primarily used as a lubricant […]

The remarkable thing about these phytocompounds is that they are found in commonly consumed food ingredients. Curcumin is the primary polyphenol in the spice root turmeric, which is consumed the world over. Resveratrol is found in many common foods, including grapes, peanuts and chocolate. Lycopene is found in commonly consumed produce items such as watermelon, tomatoes and […]

Local Governments Can Prohibit GE Crops, Says U.S. Court of Appeals

The USDA alone can regulate field trials and experimental GE crops; neither states or local governments can ban/approve. That second part is particularly troubling to communities in Hawai’i because the field trials and associated […]

Organic farmer ordered to pay $804,000 in court costs after his crop was tainted by GMOs.
