[…]at the expense of farmers, consumers and the natural world. US Farmers, for example, have seen seed costs nearly quadruple and seed choices greatly narrow since the introduction of GMOs. 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 […]
[…]for soybeans, giving them the power to charge farmers higher prices and effectively decide which seeds farmers could plant.” Two farmers quoted in the letter to the DOJ argued, “We need more competition to keep prices down,” and “We don’t like to see more consolidation; it means higher [costs] for farmers.” “Seed costs are the highest input expense for farmers,” explained NFU president Roger Johnson. “We have seen time and again that consolidation and market restructuring has increased the cost of crop inputs. In a lagging farm economy with multi-year trends of low commodity prices, additional cost increases for crop […]
(Note from Erin: We are proud to have our own raw, organic“Seed to Shelf” CBD line – all the way from the seed to your store front or door. Find it here and help support the mission!) Police in New York City celebrated the seizure of 106 pounds of what they said was marijuana. But the farmers who shipped the plant said it was all legally grown organic hemp. NYPD posted a photo of officers with the seizure on Facebook November 3, bragging about the “great job” done by officers in confiscating the apparent drug, as well as arresting the person […]
[…]let’s take a closer look at this oil in general: What Is Canola Oil? 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 […]
[…]natural compounds as potential chemotherapy alternatives: Reseveratrol Curcumin Lycopene Grapeseed Extract The study identified these compounds as having potentially potent anti-colon cancer properties due in part to their ability to interfere with elevated IGF-1 levels, as well as ameliorating many Western diet-induced downstream effects, such as inhibiting the cancer stem cell self-renewal pathway known as the Wnt pathway. 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 […]
[…]testimonies from cancer victims who cured themselves by chewing large quantities of the apricot seeds alone. The seeds are more available to consumers now than laetrile because in 1971 the FDA banned laetrile. Laetrile is difficult, but not impossible, to purchase. The seeds are actually the soft almond shaped, bitter tasting kernels from inside the pits. A few users prefer extracting those soft kernels from the pits themselves. But the soft kernels are available and inexpensive. So How Does It Work? Amagdylin contains four substances. Two are glucose; one is benzaldyhide, and one is cyanide. Yes, cyanide and benzaldyhide are […]
[…]homemade nut-and-seed mix is easy to make – toss together almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds, and you’ve got yourself some sustainable staying power for long hauls, and your concoction will no doubt be less costly than some of the oil-saturated ones you’ll find in the airport. 3. Pack dietary supplements for the trip ahead: I put together a small sack of all my supplemental essentials, especially because there is a high probability that I won’t be eating the nutrient-dense foods I normally eat at home while traveling and because my nutrient requirements may be greater due to […]
[…]States, even in the face of protests. (In Argentina, protesters recently shut down a Monsanto seed plant after months of activism and marches through the streets.) But this time they are gunning for one of the most sacred and historically rich native agricultural areas in the United States, to build a GMO seed development greenhouse. That idea has been described as, “like putting a factory in a nature sanctuary.” Many (the area is full of mostly small farmers and they wonder why the county would choose to invest in a massive multinational company, rather than the people) are worried that the […]
[…]and Kazakhstan. Therefore, the shipment was illegal under federal regulations. Importing raw corn seed from certain countries, including Russia, Moldova, and Kazakhstan, violates USDA regulations because of concerns that contamination by pests and pathogens could place domestic producers at risk. RELATED STORY: U.S. media silent as Putin declares Russia GMO-free as they prepare to become top producer of organic food U.S. Customs continues to reject the shipment for offloading on the basis it violates federal law. According to court filings, it appears Sunrise and/or its trading partners provided U.S. Customs with shipping documents that inaccurately identified Turkey as the country […]
[…]trees he has created are capable of growing 40 different stone fruits (fruits with a hard seed inside). He cuts small branches with buds from different fruiting trees and then affixes them onto branches of a juvenile tree at a point also cut off. Each has an end cut at an angle so that they can be attached easily with a strip of plastic that presses them together. When the tree heals itself, the two branches fuse together, giving the tree a new branch with foreign fruit. By doing this continually over close to a decade, Prof. Ayken has created […]

A 1 ounce (28 grams) serving of chia seeds contains: Fiber: 11 grams Protein: 4 grams Fat: 9 grams (5 of which are Omega 3’s) Calcium: 18% of the RDA Manganese: 30% of the RDA Magnesium: 30% of the RDA Phosphorus: 27% of the RDA They also contain a decent amount of Zinc, Vitamin B3 (Niacin), Potassium, Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) and Vitamin B2 This is particularly […]
[…]Roundup, his lawyer RFK Jr thrilled! “Dicamba is key to Monsanto’s biggest-ever biotech seed launch, which occurred last year. Its Xtend line of soybeans and cotton are designed to tolerate the weed killer, which replaces earlier products that contained only glyphosate. Some weeds have developed resistance to glyphosate, which Monsanto introduced in the 1970s. Crop seeds such as corn, soybeans and cotton are genetically modified to survive the pesticide while yield-sapping weeds die. Dicamba has long been used to kill weeds before crops are planted, but its use has spiked this season across the United States after regulators last year […]
Vegan Pho Recipe Pho is a delicious Vietnamese soup, made with a light broth, rice noodles and lots of fresh veggies. Many variation exist – that’s the great thing about soup, you can customize it to suit your particular tastes. Traditionally, Pho is made with beef or chicken, but that’s not how I roll, so here’s my vegan version of this tasty (and healthy) soup. 6 cups low sodium vegetable broth 3 large shallots, thinly sliced 3-4 slices of fresh ginger root, peeled 2-3 garlic cloves, minced 6 tbsp. light soy sauce 2 tbsp. rice wine vinegar 3 star anise […]
[…]to allow states and counties to ban or regulate GE crops is an important victory for GE-free seed sanctuaries and small communities and farmers around the country,” George Kimbrell, senior attorney for the Center for Food Safety, said.” But, the court also declared some troubling things: The regulation of commercialized crops, both of GE and traditional varieties, remains within the authority of state and local governments. 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 […]
[…]didn’t stop at coconuts, either. She also took aim at “superfoods” like acai and chia seeds, calling them “ineffective sources of nutrients,” since most of the beneficial nutrients in them could just as easily be found in common foods like carrots, cherries, and apricots. But what if you like chia seeds?) But back to the poor coconut: “Dr. Marie-Pierre St-Onge of the Institute of Human Nutrition, at Columbia University, in New York, who was behind the research indicating coconut oil boosts the metabolism and weight loss because it contains an ingredient called medium-chain triglycerides in higher levels than most fats, spoke out last year to set the record straight. […]
[…]on the seed from cycads, a plant often confused with palms and a staple of villagers’ diet. The seeds contain BMAA, but researchers concluded that villagers could never consume enough to make them sick. The botanist, Paul Cox, found the connection when he discovered that the villagers also ate fruit bats, which feasted on the seeds and had a much higher concentration of BMAA because it accumulated in their bodies over time, according to a 2012 Environmental Health Perspectives account.”1 When the study was repeated, BMAA was again found in the brains of those suffering from degenerative diseases. That’s bbecause […]

[…]of the “the primary emitting pigments,” namely, anthocyanins from red pomegranate seed juice and curcumin extract from turmeric. One of the crucial mechanisms behind their ability to produce an almost pure white light emission was identified as “Foster resonance energy transfer” (FREF). FREF is a mechanism that describes energy transfer between two light-sensitive molecules (known as chromophores). The researchers identified A FRET-like, light-induced energy transfer cascade: polyphenolics > curcumin > anthocyanins, resulting in WLE. The researchers were also able to create an entirely edible gelatin-based mixture of the plant extracts that was capable of emitting almost pure white light when exposed […]
It’s a well-known fact that in certain countries there are larger numbers of centenarians. But we aren’t just talking about numbers, these people remain healthy and active even as they enter the three-figure age range. In fact, Blue Zone residents are twice as likely as the average American to live to the age of 90. And while western medicine might chalk it up to luck, we know it’s most likely what they are putting into their bodies. From the article: “There are five cultures around the world with the highest proportion of centenarians globally,” says David Katz, president of the […]
