[…]take measures to protect its current assets.” In Argentina, the farmers who use Monsanto seeds agree to allow the company to charge them for soybean genes up front or when they sell their crop to grain elevators and export terminals. However, that system is now being questioned; agricultural authorities under Argentina’s President Mauricio Macri, have been given new orders that may not let grain companies continue to test for Monsanto’s technology to determine royalty charges for farmers. Brett Begemann, Monsanto President and COO (not to be confused with Mosanto CEO Hugh Grant) said that the company is optimistic a solution can be found, “While the Government of […]
[…]foods) because they no longer contain them! Concerning white flour and bread(s), when the wheat seed’s bran is removed, it’s six outer layers and the germ (which contains 76%) of the vitamins and minerals is lost. 97% of the dietary fiber is also removed, which is why constipation and cancer of the bowel are so prevalent in ‘developed’ nations. In addition, processing and bleaching white flour removes ALL of its vitamin E, 50% of its calcium, and 70% of itsphosphorous, iron, magnesium, and B vitamins. So what you’re paying for when you spend less on white bread and baked goods is… literally nothing. Except a hefty healthcare bill down the […]
[…]people would do best by reducing their Omega-6 consumption. The best way to do that is to avoid seed- and vegetable oils like soybean and corn oils, as well as the processed foods that contain them. Another class of fats, artificial trans fats, is also very harmful.

Studies show that trans fats lead to insulin resistance, inflammation, belly fat accumulation and drastically raise the risk of heart disease. So eat your saturated fats, monounsaturated fats and Omega-3s… […]
[…]we know are in planting dust, water drunk by bees and wildflowers, wherever neonics are used as seed treatments. This secret evidence highlights the profound weakness of regulatory tests.” Neonics have been banned at some levels throughout the European Union and are somewhat regulated in the U.S., but continue to be sold throughout the world. A recent study by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), a body formed by the United Nations, found that more than 40 percent of invertebrate species like bees and butterflies face extinction threats at the local level. *Article originally appeared on Underground […]

[…]herbicide” and “lower crop prices curb farmers’ purchases of the newest genetically modified seeds. “Monsanto’s sales of seeds and genetic licenses fell 14 percent in the first quarter. Revenue in the agricultural productivity unit, which primarily makes Roundup, tumbled 34 percent.” Monsanto appears to be in a bit of trouble, despite its CEO, Hugh Grant’s claims that the restructuring has to do with meeting profit goals. European and North American farmers simply aren’t buying the chemically-dependent seeds, particularly since the World Health Organization categorized glyphosate as “probably carcinogenic” to humans — meaning it probably causes cancer. In comparison to the […]
[…]the diversity of beneficial species. Other good fibers include those found in seeds like pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, and flax seeds. Vitamin D Deficiency and Asthma: Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to increased rates of asthma. In over 60 years of research, scientists have found vitamin D deficiency linked to lower lung functions, increased airway reactivity and worse asthmatic control. Vitamin D plays a strong role in modulating the inflammatory immune response by blocking pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin 10. Asthma typically worsens in the winter and early spring when vitamin D is at its lowest. 5 Key Supplements for […]
[…]been farming, he’s never seen anything like what’s happening: a pile of treated canola seed that he discovered lying on the ground in a pasture Oct. 24 killed his Black Angus bull and two pregnant Charolais cows. (Those animals are worth a lot too, cows are valued at $2,000 each and the bull at $5,000, but there is no insurance.) He said, “When I was driving out of the pasture, I could see some blue stuff by the gate in a low spot. Here’s about 15 to 20 bushels of blue canola. Who the hell would dump that in there?” […]
[…]dollar deal was announced between the State-owned ChemChina and Switzerland’s Syngenta, a seed and pesticide company. However, in the US the sale of Syngenta- who supplies farmers with seeds and runs research and production facilities- to ChemChina, has alarm bells going off.

Chuck Grassley of Iowa, is worried that the merger could impact US food security and distribution; the Republican Senator feels the deal may create conflict of interest with the Chinese government because they would both regulate biotech products and own the company […]
[…]the compound that produces the marijuana-like drug effects. Although not as well-known as other seeds, hempseed contains 10 grams of complete, easily digestible protein per ounce (28 grams).

The ingestion of pesticides can cause health problems such as “birth defects, nerve damage, cancer, and other effects that might occur over a long period of time.” Especially at risk of harm from pesticides are children. The EPA, you know, the same group that approves pesticides […]
