Monsanto wants to brainwash your children with 'Biotechnology Basics Activity Book' (NaturalNews) In response to mounting public backlash from the older generation, the biotechnology industry has launched a new propaganda campaign aimed at convincing children that genetically-modified (GM) crops are not only safe, but also an improvement over natural agriculture. Monsanto, Dow, Bayer, and five other major biotechnology companies and associations have collectively released the Biotechnology Basics Activity Book, a colorful guide designed to reeducate children into the false dogma of biotechnology. The 16-page guide -- which includes word scrambles, fill-in-the-blank puzzles, and matching games -- contains an introductory paragraph that claims biotechnology boosts crop yields, improves environmental conditions, and leads to more nutritious food. "This is an activity book for young people like you about biotechnology -- a really neat topic," says the first page of the book. You can view the entire activity book for yourself at:

Natural Facial Cleansers for Oily Skin Oily, acne-prone skin can benefit from the exfoliating power of alphahydroxy acids (AHA’s), which peel away layers of dead skin cells.

Google complies with FDA demands to secretly disable Adwords accounts of nutritional detox companies : Dr. Leonard Coldwell The latest attack on free speech in America comes from the FDA and is supported by Google Adwords. NaturalNews has learned that the FDA is quietly, and without notice to affected companies, commanding Google to disable the full Adwords accounts of nutritional supplement companies offering “detox” or “chelation” nutritional products. This secret war against nutritional supplement companies is being waged entirely outside the law, as the FDA gives no notice to affected companies and does not give them any opportunity to respond in their defense. No judge, no jury, no notice, no due process. The FDA simply bypasses legal notice requirements and goes straight to Google, which complies by disabling Adwords accounts, shutting off an important source of revenue for nutritional supplement companies. In this case, the FDA is conducting an economic embargo on the company known as Global Healing Center (www.GlobalHealingCenter.com), founded by Ed Group III. He goes on to explain: Hi, Best, Spencer L

Facebook The Very Real Danger of Genetically Modified Foods - Health New research shows that when we eat we're consuming more than just vitamins and protein. Our bodies are absorbing information, or microRNA. Update 1/12: Thanks to science and biology bloggers, Christie Wilcox and Emily Willingham at the Scientific American blog network and The Biology Files, respectively, we've learned of the scientific inconsistencies made in Ari LeVaux's most recent Flash in the Pan column, which is syndicated by a number of newspapers and magazine websites. This column has been expanded and updated for AlterNet, with LeVaux discussing specific improvements in the comments. Chinese researchers have found small pieces of rice ribonucleic acid (RNA) in the blood and organs of humans who eat rice. The type of RNA in question is called microRNA (abbreviated to miRNA) due to its small size. Should the research survive scientific scrutiny -- a serious hurdle -- it could prove a game changer in many fields. The Central Dogma resembles the process of ordering a pizza. And:
Memory techniques Help make lessons memorable by applying some of these simple, yet very effective techniques. When teaching and learning new information, ensure to… RepeatReviewRecall 5 times! Repeat - When you say something over and over and over again, it gets ingrained into the memory.
