GM ‘Super-Wheat’ in the UK Despite Fears of Contamination

[…]Genes from a wild plant called stiff brome have been inserted. The process also added an antibiotic marker gene and genes giving resistance to some weedkillers.” If it sounds dangerous and unpredictable to you that would be totally understandable. While greenhouse research has shows yields up by up to 40 per cent, the field trials will need to be able to replicate those yields. And this won’t be the first GM wheat tested at the site. It took British researchers five years to develop a crop that gave off chemicals that were supposed to stop insects but the process did […]

12 Cellulite-Busting Tips — And Exercise is Not One of Them

[…]you fat — it’s the inability to burn fat that makes you fat, which may be caused by leptin resistance. Studies show women are more sensitive to leptin levels than men, and toxins can disrupt leptin signaling. Toxins are fat soluble and have an affinity for fat cells. They attach themselves to cell membranes and cause those cells to over-secrete leptin, which results in leptin resistance. These toxins also release cytokines that damage leptin receptors in your brain, and once those are damaged, weight loss and cellulite reduction are very difficult. If you’re on toxic overload, exercise may even backfire […]
