10 Healthy Foods You’re Eating That Probably Contain GMOs. Genetically modified organisms, or GMOs (sometimes referred to as GM foods), are at the center of heated debates about the environment, human health, animal health, food ethics…the list goes on. For a quick read on the issues surrounding GMOs, click here. If you would like to avoid GMO ingredients and foods, here’s a list of nine foods that probably contain GMOs, and are, therefore, maybe not as healthy as you thought they were. 1. Vitamins. Rounding out any diet sometimes means taking some supplements, or maybe your doctor has told you you’re low in a certain vitamin or mineral.

Careful; many vitamins are sourced from GMOs, and even the fillers and additives may be as well. 2. Few fruits are genetically modified, but generally the easiest way to avoid GM foods is to buy organic. 3. The use of alfalfa as animal feed is a hugely important current affair, as many believe that cross-contamination of alfalfa will mean that even organic crops will one day be contaminated by the GM plants. 4. Top 10 Herbs For Memory. Share Many people associate memory loss with aging. But whether it’s occasional forgetfulness or loss of short-term memory, one must be aware that there are specific factors that can cause it even at a young age instead of simply attributing memory loss to a natural decline in cognitive functioning. These causes include alcohol, drug or tobacco abuse, certain medications, sleeplessness, stress and depression, nutritional deficiency, head injury, stroke and dementia. Whether to prevent or treat memory loss, these natural herbs have served as timeless aids: Gingko Biloba There is a reason why gingko biloba supplements are one of the most popular herbal medications in Europe and America.

The mechanism behind gingko leaves is due to the presence of two types of chemicals, flavonoids and terpenoids, which contain antioxidants to combat free radicals that contribute to health disorders like Alzheimer’s and dementia. Ginseng Rosemary This herb is more than just an aromatic spice. Sage Green tea. How to heal cavities naturally. Share by Derek Henry | Natural News The world is slowly waking up to the fact that, when you give the body what it needs, it can heal things we previously thought were impossible. A fine example of what is often deemed as an incurable health problem is dental cavities, but extensive research is now becoming more public about the true nature of tooth decay and the fact that there are proven remedies that can remedy it.

The lies perpetrated about tooth decay According to the American Dental Association, the reason we have tooth decay is as follows: “[Tooth decay] occurs when foods containing carbohydrates (sugars and starches) such as milk, pop, raisins, cakes or candy are frequently left on the teeth. Bacteria that live in the mouth thrive on these foods, producing acids as a result. There are a few problems with this theory, including: So if the modern explanation of tooth decay is not accurate, what is actually the cause of tooth decay?

What actually causes tooth decay Foods to focus on are: How to Improve Vision Naturally. Share by Dr. Ben Kim | Drbenkim.com Contrary to popular belief, your vision doesn’t have to decline over time. With regular exercise of the muscles that control your eye movements and visual acuity, you can reduce eyestrain and maintain or even improve your vision.

Inferior rectus - Primarily moves your eye downward. Superior oblique - Primarily rotates the top of your eye toward your nose. Inferior oblique – Primarily rotates the top of your eye away from your nose. Your eyes are designed to move regularly. 1. 2. 3. 4. Please note that all of these exercises should be done with your eyes, not your head and neck. Bladder-2 (BL-2) This is Why GMOs Were Created By Monsanto. Absolutely everything you need to know about how the government shutdown will work. A government shutdown starting Tuesday, Oct. 1, is now upon us. The House and Senate couldn't agree on a bill to fund the government, and time has run out. The photograph is cleverly shot to make it look like the gates of the federal government are literally closing. Neat, eh? (The Washington Post) So... it's shutdown time. Let's take a look at how this will work. Not all government functions will simply evaporate come Oct. 1 — Social Security checks will still get mailed, and veterans' hospitals will stay open.

Here's a look at how a shutdown will work, which parts of the government will close, and which parts of the economy might be affected. Wait, what? The fiscal crises will continue until morale improves. Short answer: There are wide swaths of the federal government that need to be funded each year in order to operate. To get a bit more specific: Each year, the House and Senate are supposed to agree on 12 appropriations bills to fund the federal agencies and set spending priorities. The Changing Face of America. What is it about the faces on these pages that we find so intriguing?

Is it simply that their features disrupt our expectations, that we’re not used to seeing those eyes with that hair, that nose above those lips? Our responses can range from the armchair anthropologist’s benign desire to unravel ancestries and find common ground to active revulsion at group boundaries being violated or, in the language of racist days past, “watered down.” Out in the world, the more curious (or less polite) among us might approach, asking, “Where are you from?” Or “What are you?” We look and wonder because what we see—and our curiosity—speaks volumes about our country’s past, its present, and the promise and peril of its future.

The U.S. The Census Bureau is aware that its racial categories are flawed instruments, disavowing any intention “to define race biologically, anthropologically, or genetically.” Sandra Williams, 46, grew up at a time when the nation still turned on a black-white axis. Monsanto gets its corporate behind handed to it on a platter by Daily Show.

(NaturalNews) During a recent segment of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, the prevailing trend of biotechnology companies such as Monsanto patenting seeds and suing farmers whose crops become contaminated with them was openly ridiculed for its absolute absurdity. Like it typically does with serious issues that go unaddressed by the mainstream media, The Daily Show rightfully mocked Monsanto and its shameless patent protection lobby for such seed crimes, pointing out with humor the insane amount of power this multinational chemical company now has over modern agriculture. In the opening of the segment, The Daily Show reporter Aasif Mandvi facetiously derides America's farmers for not being grateful that the biotech industry provides them with yearly bounties that stem from patented seeds.

You really need to see the entire segment for yourself to get the full gist of the satire: "Monsanto patenting our plants is a theft of our genetic heritage," adds Roush. Confirmed by science: You really can change your DNA - and here's how. (NaturalNews) If you believe that you are at the mercy of your genetic code, great news, you're not. According to the science of epigenetics (the study of how environmental factors outside of DNA influence changes in gene expression), stem cells and even DNA can be altered through magnetic fields, heart coherence, positive mental states and intention. Top scientists around the world agree: genetic determinism is a flawed theory.The DNA we are born with is not the sole determinant for our health and well-being. Stem cell biologist Bruce Lipton, Ph.D., discusses the important difference between genetic determinism and epigenetics in an interview with SuperConsciousness magazine: "The difference between these two is significant because this fundamental belief called genetic determinism literally means that our lives, which are defined as our physical, physiological and emotional behavioral traits, are controlled by the genetic code.

Calorie counting, non-fat diets are a craze in the dieting world, but they make no differentiation between calorie sources.

The oldest plant ever to be regenerated has been grown from 32,000-year-old seeds—beating the previous recordholder by some 30,000 years. (Related: "'Methuselah' Tree Grew From 2,000-Year-Old Seed. ") A Russian team discovered a seed cache of Silene stenophylla, a flowering plant native to Siberia, that had been buried by an Ice Age squirrel near the banks of the Kolyma River (map). Radiocarbon dating confirmed that the seeds were 32,000 years old.

The mature and immature seeds, which had been entirely encased in ice, were unearthed from 124 feet (38 meters) below the permafrost, surrounded by layers that included mammoth, bison, and woolly rhinoceros bones. The mature seeds had been damaged—perhaps by the squirrel itself, to prevent them from germinating in the burrow. The team extracted that tissue from the frozen seeds, placed it in vials, and successfully germinated the plants, according to a new study. Plant Study May Help Seed Vaults? FDA deliberately deceiving Americans over arsenic in rice, chicken and other foods; contamination now widespread. Share by Mike Adams – Natural News There is arsenic in rice, and it’s generally higher in brown rice than in white rice. Consumer Reports tested 223 samples of rice products in 2012 and found significant levels of arsenic in most of them, including inorganic arsenic (the really toxic kind). As Consumer Reports found, it’s not unusual to see arsenic at levels of 200 ppb or more in rice-based baby cereals.

Click here for the complete test results. The release of this information freaked out the U.S. rice industry, resulting in enormous pressure being put on the FDA to try to assuage fears that rice products were contaminated with arsenic (which they are). So the FDA, always working in the interests of food corporations rather than the public, issued a statement saying that yes, there was arsenic in rice, but no, it didn’t pose any “short-term” health risks. Well, we already knew that. That’s where our real concerns are found, and that’s the issue that the FDA completely ignored.

As I pull up this morning, I see a pregnant lady on the crosswalk holding a baby and groceries. This driver swerves around her and honks. As the great, sliding glass doors part I am immediately smacked in the face by a wall of cool, moist air that smells of strawberries and orchids.

The first thing I see is the great wall of kombucha — 42 different kinds of rotten tea. Next I see the gluten-free section filled with crackers and bread made from various wheat-substitutes such as cardboard and sawdust. Next I approach the beauty aisle. I grab a handful of peanut butter pretzels on my way out of this stupid aisle. Next I come to the vitamin aisle which is a danger zone for any broke hypochondriac. Longevity Boosting Power Foods.
