Campbells Becomes First Major Food Company to Label GMOs. While other major food companies along with their coalition, the Grocery Manufacturers Association, continue to fight mandatory labeling of genetically-modified organisms (GMOs), the Campbell Soup Company will take a different approach.
Campbell’s, the company behind Pepperidge Farm, Plum Organics, Prego and the more obvious Campbell’s soups, announced that it will label all GMOs in the company’s products. The company will begin labeling GMOs in July 2016, to meet Vermont’s GMO labeling law requirements that demand GMOs be labeled within the state as of July 1, 2016. CEO of the Campbell Soup Company, Denise Morrison, issued a statement that the company made the decision to label GMOs in keeping with the company’s “Consumer First” policy. Because 92 percent of consumer’s are in favor of labeling GMOs, putting the consumer first means labeling GMOs, not fighting the labeling of them. Scientists Use Century-Old Seaweed to Solve a Marine Mystery. There are few things I enjoy more than turning a slimy piece of seaweed into a work of art.
From scouring the tide pools for the perfect blades, to artfully arranging them on a piece of paper in my herbarium press, every step of the process is immensely satisfying. Using the same technique that people use to press flowers, I can turn almost any algae into a natural work of art that can last for centuries. Although I press algae for artistic purposes, algae pressing has long been a scientific pursuit. The steep price we pay for cheap chocolate. Thousands of years ago, the Maya people of Central America believed that chocolate was the food of the gods.
The Maya — who helped pioneer cultivation of the cocoa tree, along with the Toltec and Aztec peoples — even used cocoa beans as a form of currency. Fast forward to today, and chocolate is considered less of a rarity and more of an anytime treat. Fatherly Advice and Rants. Herbal Remedy: Osha Root (Ligusticum porteri) The common Mexican name for the plant, chuchupate, is said to be an ancient Aztec term meaning “bear medicine.”
Bears respond to the herb like cats do to catnip. They will roll on it and cover themselves with its scent. Males have been seen to dig up the roots and offer them to females as part of courting. When a bear first comes out of hibernation, it will eat osha if it can find it, to cleanse its digestive system. Harvesting and Using Dandelion Roots. When Should I Harvest Dandelion Roots?
Dandelion roots are best harvested from late fall through early spring, when the plant is dormant and has stored up energy in the root. For medicinal use, most sources say fall harvest is best. This is because the levels of inulin (insoluble fiber) are higher and the fructose levels are lower. The freezing of winter converts the inulin to fructose, which makes spring roots more palatable for eating. Exposing The Scam: Health Benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar – Superfoodly. How many superfoods can you think of that have a cult following as big as this?
Perhaps some, but none have maintain such popularity for decades on end. That’s because many trendy health foods are based on nothing but hype, and hence, eventually that wears off. Is it any different with Bragg? 8 Natural Ways To Balance Your Cholesterol Levels. The topic of cholesterol has increasingly become confusing for most people.
First, we’re told that HDL cholesterol is good while LDL cholesterol is harmful. More recently, many people have been reporting that cholesterol is fine and no longer a factor in heart disease. What’s a person to believe? Plant Compounds May Boost Brain Function in Older Adults, Study Says. The research from the department of psychology is the first to use fMRI technology to investigate how levels of those compounds affect brain activity and showed that study participants with lower levels had to rely on more brain power to complete memory-oriented tasks.
People get these compounds, known as carotenoids, from their diets, and two of them -- lutein and zeaxanthin -- have been shown in previous research to bolster eye and cognitive health in older adults. What isn't known is the neural mechanisms underlying the relationship between these compounds and cognition, said Cutter Lindbergh, first author of the study and a doctoral candidate in the psychology department in the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences.

Efficacy of a green tea extract rich in catechin polyphenols and caffeine in increasing 24-h energy expenditure and fat oxidation in humans. Background: Current interest in the role of functional foods in weight control has focused on plant ingredients capable of interfering with the sympathoadrenal system.
Objective: We investigated whether a green tea extract, by virtue of its high content of caffeine and catechin polyphenols, could increase 24-h energy expenditure (EE) and fat oxidation in humans. Design: Twenty-four-hour EE, the respiratory quotient (RQ), and the urinary excretion of nitrogen and catecholamines were measured in a respiratory chamber in 10 healthy men. On 3 separate occasions, subjects were randomly assigned among 3 treatments: green tea extract (50 mg caffeine and 90 mg epigallocatechin gallate), caffeine (50 mg), and placebo, which they ingested at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Prince & Company dated 1771. Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. It is well known that as plants grow, their stems and shoots respond to outside signals like light and gravity. But if plants all have similar stimuli, why are there so many different stem shapes? Why does a weeping willow grow downwards while nearby poison ivy shoots upwards? Using simple mathematical ideas, researchers from the Harvard John A. 'All you need is some shovels': Artist helps plant Indigenous food source in Saskatoon.
SASKATOON -- Artist and spoken word poet Kevin Wesaquate along with 15 volunteers planted more than 440 Saskatoon berry bushes in Saskatoon’s Victoria Park as part of the Misaskwatomina Project. Misaskwatomina means Saskatoon berries in the Cree language. The idea came to Wesaquate when he was thinking about how to help Indigenous youth in the city and was reminded of his childhood, growing up on Piapot First Nation with Nokom and Mosom (grandma and grandpa in Cree) and picking berries during the summer months. “For me, it was a positive experience.
