Why 80% of People Worldwide Will Soon Stop Eating Wheat The future of wheat is certain, and it's toxic. There are as many health risks associated with the consumption of wheat as there are nutritional benefits claimed by the wheat industry. Why is there such a strong emphasis on the development of wheat products all over the world when there are so many adverse and crippling effects such as neurological impairment, dementia, heart disease, cataracts, diabetes, arthritis and visceral fat accumulation, not to mention the full range of intolerances and bloating now experienced by millions of people? Approximately 700 million tons of wheat are now cultivated worldwide making it the second most-produced grain after maize. It is grown on more land area than any other commerical crop and is considered a staple food for humans. At some point in our history, this ancient grain was nutritious in some respects, however modern wheat really isn't wheat at all. The Nutrional Value of Wheat is Practically Non-Existent In Its Current Form Dr. Health Effects
Giving Pit Bulls a Second Chance [Infographic] What do you think of when you hear the words “pit bull?” Do you picture dog fights or vicious attacks you may have heard about on the news? With this infographic, National Geographic hopes to dispel some of the vicious rumors behind this normally sweet and loyal breed of dogs. In the early part of the 20th century, pit bulls were seen as “America’s Dog,” used on posters during World War I and frequently shown with children in movies and films. What are your thoughts on pit bulls? Big Agriculture flexes its muscle - POLITICO.com Print View Congress holds the purse strings, but who holds Congress these days when it comes to farm policy: the meatpackers and Monsanto? So it seemed last week as lawmakers sent the White House an updated budget for the Agriculture Department complete with industry-backed orders on how Secretary Tom Vilsack should run the place. Continue Reading The Post-it notes from the packers were hard to miss. Alarmed that automatic spending cuts this month will slow plant operations, the meat lobby won a last-minute Senate amendment that cuts from a new White House-backed school breakfast program in order to ensure there will be enough money to keep food safety inspectors on the job this summer and avoid disruptions. At the same time the industry went in the opposite direction, denying funds in the Ag budget for implementing reforms sought in the 2008 farm bill to provide greater protection for less powerful ranchers and farmers who raise the animals for slaughter.

Synaptic Web | Collective Web In previous posts, especially in those related to content mapping, I frequently referred to collective actions and efforts in describing certain concepts, but never elaborated on the exact meaning of these terms. One could think that collectivity and collaboration are identical (they often are mentioned in the same context) as both have something to do with individuals working together. In fact, I find it important to highlight their differences for I expect collectivity to play as vital a role in Web 3.0 as collaboration did in Web 2.0. Transition As already understood from popular Web 2.0 applications such as Wikipedia, Google Docs, or WordPress, we define collaboration as sharing workload in a group of individuals who engage in a complex task, working towards a common goal in a managed fashion, and are conscious of the process’ details all the way. Different realms Collaboration and collectivity operate in different realms. The synaptic web Hence the synaptic web calls for collectivity.

Karbendazim Hittas i äpplen, persikor, tomater, jordgubbar, spannmål, sockerbetor, raps, majs, sallad, gurkor, mandariner, apelsiner, päron, spenat… listan kan bli längre men vi vill inte trötta ut dig. Karbendazim är cancerframkallande, hormonstörande och reproduktionsstörande. Ingen vet om det finns en säker gräns för hur mycket karbendazim vi människor tål. Det här omysiga ämnet kan inte sköljas bort, utan verkar inifrån växten för att mota bort svampangrepp. 2. Hittas i spannmål som havre och råg, men också i vindruvor och päron. Klormekvat är spännande eftersom det visar det ologiska i o-ekologiskt, så häng med nu! Ska vi skratta eller gråta? Men klormekvat är inte kul. 3. Hittas i äpplen, sallad, persika, tomater och jordgubbar. De här ämnena är cancerframkallande och reproduktionsstörande.

Why The Transgender Community Hates HRC Why does the transgender community hate HRC? It’s a question I get frequently asked in GLBT settings. Considering the recent GLBT family feud erupting over ENDA, it's an appropriate one to ask as well. Before I get started trying to shed light on it, I need to point out in the name of journalistic integrity that I was the Lobby Chair for the National Transgender Advocacy Coalition (NTAC) from 1999-2002. The roots of the animosity start after Stonewall. In a pattern that persists to the present day, The GLF had protections for transpeople removed from a proposed 1971 New York GLBT rights anti-discrimination bill under the pretext that it wouldn’t pass with such 'extreme' language. Ironically the bill failed anyway and the New York City GLB-only rights bill wouldn't pass until 1986. In 1979 Janice Raymond poured more gasoline on the fire with her virulently anti-transgender book The Transsexual Empire. So what does this have to do with HRC since it didn’t get founded until 1980?
Sen. Roy Blunt: Monsanto's Man in Washington Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.)Christian Gooden/St. Louis Post-Dispatch As I reported a couple of weeks ago, a recent Senate bill came with a nice bonus for the genetically modified seed industry: a rider, wholly unrelated to the underlying bill, that compels the USDA to ignore federal court decisions that block the agency's approvals of new GM crops. I explained in this post why such a provision, which the industry has been pushing for over a year, is so important to Monsanto and its few peers in the GMO seed industry. Which senator pushed the rider into the bill? The admission shines a light on Blunt's ties to Monsanto, whose office is located in the senator's home state. Blunt is also a magnet for PAC money from the agribusiness industry as a whole, OpenSecrets data shows. The senator's blunt, so to speak, admission that he stuck a rider into an unrelated bill at the behest of a major campaign donor is consistent with the tenor of his political career. If Sen.
SynapticWeb / FrontPage Stay updated about the Synaptic Web on Twitter via @SynapticWeb The Synaptic Web By Khris Loux, Eric Blantz, Chris Saad and you... The Internet is constantly evolving. In the brain, neurologists now believe that it is the density and flexibility of the connections between neurons, not simply neurons themselves, which are at the root of intelligence. Even if the total number of brain cells, or neurons, begins to diminish in early adulthood, our ability to generate new connections between neurons and between different parts of the brain – what neurologist call “plasticity” - persists throughout life. It is at the synapse, the "gap" between one neuron and another, where neural connections are consummated to create pathways that, when used, are reinforced with additional connections and, when unused, are "pruned" to make way for new, more useful pathways. Signs of the emerging Synaptic Web abound. The same is true for Social Networks. Social profiles are becoming real-time streams.
Nine foods you should never eat again by Jonathan Benson, staff writer (NaturalNews) With so much misinformation out there about food and how it affects human health, making healthy food choices for you and your family can be difficult and confusing. There are a number of specific foods; however, that you will want to avoid in almost every circumstance because they provide virtually no health benefits while posing plenty of health risks. Here are nine foods you should never eat again if you care about preserving your long-term health: 1) White bread, refined flours. By definition, white bread and refined flours in general are toxic for your body because they have been stripped of virtually all vitamins, minerals, fiber, and other important nutrients. 2) Conventional frozen meals. 3) White rice. 4) Microwaveable popcorn. 5) Cured meat products with nitrates, nitrites. 6) Most conventional protein, energy bars. 7) Margarine. 8) Soy milk and soy-based meat substitutes. 9) “Diet” anything.

Bruxelles renforce la mainmise des grands groupes sur les semences C'est au nom de la sécurité alimentaire et de la protection des produits cultivés dans l'Union que la Commission européenne a proposé, lundi 6 mai, un ensemble de mesures de "modernisation" de la filière. Son ambition affichée est de sauvegarder à la fois la productivité et la diversité des filières végétales en Europe. Ces dernières sont sous la menace de nouvelles agressions d'insectes ravageurs et de maladies, aggravées par la mondialisation et le changement climatique. La Commission rappelle que les échanges dans ce secteur représentent 205 milliards d'euros par an. Le texte, qui fixe les nouvelles règles du jeu du marché des semences, vise à simplifier la commercialisation de variétés industrielles. Les promoteurs des variétés paysann...

Download the Analyst Report How to Avoid GMOs (for real) - Mama Natural In the U.S., GMOs are everywhere in our supply chain. According to the Grocery Manufacturers Association, 75-80% of all conventional, processed foods contain some form of GMOs. In this post, I’ll tell you how to avoid them. First, a bit of background GMOs are plant or meat products with DNA artificially altered in a laboratory by genes from other plants, animals, viruses, or bacteria, resulting in foreign compounds found in these foods. In this post, I’m not going to argue the merits of going GMO-free. Bottom line, if you chose to consume GMOs, that’s your prerogative. Going GMO-free ain’t easy This post is a response to the concerned mamas who watched this video about GMOs in surprising places. You know that USDA Certified Organic symbol? Organic is big business, and money corrupts the process. But I digress… let’s get down to brass tacks. How to avoid GMOs On a budget?
