[…]exciting 3-month study compared four groups: 5g of flaxseed + training about menopause, 5g of flaxseed without training about menopause, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or a control group that received no therapy. Menopause symptoms improved by 9% in the flax group, 9.8% in the flax/training group, 10% in the HRT group and got worse by 7% in the control group, meaning that flax is similarly effective to HRT. Actually, though, it’s better. Because Quality of Life scores declined even more in the HRT group than in the group that did nothing, but improved in the flaxseed group (1). So flax […]
Bayer, the world’s largest seed and pesticide maker, has agreed to pay more than $10 billion to settle tens of thousands of claims in the United States that its weedkiller Roundup causes cancer, the company said Wednesday. Bayer, which also makes pharmaceuticals, inherited thousands of lawsuits against Roundup creator Monsanto Co. when it acquired the U.S. agriculture giant in 2018. After three jury-trial losses, shares tanked and sparked a revolt among shareholders angry at Bayer’s management for plunging the company into one of the worst crises in its history with the $63 billion Monsanto acquisition.

Nadim and Tanya Ednan-Laperouse called Friday’s verdict a “landmark judgement,” adding: We have heard remarkable parallels between Owen and Natasha’s death. Owen’s death yet again highlights the inadequacy of food information in this country.1 Byron is known as one of Britain’s most popular burger chains.

[…]concluded. For the record, what Mary actually said about the seeds in question was this: “Apple seeds and apricot seeds contain B17, which MAY BE useful in treating cancer.” Even in the original statements (radio interview), she was careful how she worded it. Yet this was not enough. We can only assume she became a threat to the mainstream medical monopoly and alongside others, became a targeted individual. The charges So why does anyone get a 10 years sentence for recommending a natural cancer treatment, or prevention? It seems almost absurd, but in reality, it’s harrowing. It’s life-changing… As was recorded […]
[…]but it still faces intense scrutiny and questions about the impacts it will have on farmers and seed prices, not to mention the environment and human health. Monsanto, Grant Continue to March Forward In Face of Controversy Monsanto’s role in the U.S. agriculture business is of course highly controversial, as the company has been involved in the production of harmful chemicals ranging from DDT to Agent Orange, PCBs and more. The company insists its chemicals are “safe” citing government studies (including a recent one from the EPA). But evidence to the contrary includes a 2015 declaration by the World Health […]
[…]poisons animals, destabilizes the climate, and economically devastates the world’s two billion seed-saving small farmers. We need mandatory labels so that we can drive Frankenfoods, chemical agriculture, and factory farm products off the market. And if Congress and the Organic Elite take away our right to know, they will leave us no choice but to boycott 90 percent of the foods on grocery store shelves—in other words, everything, unless it’s labeled organic, grass-fed, or non-GMO. If the DARK Act becomes law, QR codes and 1-800 numbers will become the “skull and crossbones” label alerting consumers to boycott this product. For […]
[…]of cannabis advocates is the possibility of large biotech corporations like Monsanto patenting seeds or even DNA for different strains. A creative solution to this problem is a sort of cannabis genome project, in which researchers use technology that gathers the genetic information of the plant. Medical Genomics, the group behind the project, is publishing all of their results at Kannapedia.com using their StrainSEEK Identification and Registration service. Medicinal Genomics is a 15-person start-up best known for first sequencing the cannabis genome and open sourcing its genome as a scientific charity to the world. According to their website: “Kannapedia will provide […]
