A group from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, has tested the effects of a commonly used herbicide named Roundup on hormonal balance in rats. In a recently published paper in the journal Toxicology Reports, Prof Medhamurthy Rudraiah at MRDG, IISC, and his student Aparamita Pandey say that Roundup can cause imbalances in the […]
Court Rejects USDA Motion to Dismiss Lawsuit on Organic Change Rule
On Thursday September 10, a federal judge in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, in a bench ruling, rejected the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) motion to dismiss a federal lawsuit (Case3:15-cv-01690) that challenges the National Organic Program’s (NOP) failure to follow proper legal procedures in making a substantial rule change to the […]
Breastfeeding may expose infants to toxic chemicals
A widely used class of industrial chemicals linked with cancer and interference with immune function–perfluorinated alkylate substances, or PFASs–appears to build up in infants by 20%-30% for each month they’re breastfed, according to a new study co-authored by experts from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. It is the first study to show the […]
Manhatten Project landfill fire smouldering in St. Louis
It’s “when” not “if” an underground Manhatten Project fire at the Bridgeton landfill reaches nuclear waste in the nearby West Lake landfill, St. Louis County. For five years, the people of the St. Louis County neighborhoods surrounding the site have endured noxious smells released by the combusting waste. WWII era Manhattan Project atomic weapons production waste has […]
More Dangerous than GMO’s! ~ BioEngineered NanoFoods
For over 15 years dangerous and deadly bioengineered NanoFood has been taken over our commercial and corporate food supplies. Unregulated, untested, Nanotechnology was a $One Trillion dollar market in 2014 while Engineered NanoFoods was said to be at $5.8 Billion in 2012. The nanotechnology in foods has been found in studies to cause entry into […]
Home Pesticide Exposure Tied to Child Cancer Risk
There is an increasing concern about chronic low-level pesticide exposure during childhood and its influence on childhood cancers. A number of studies have found an association between pesticides and certain childhood cancers. Childhood exposure to indoor but not outdoor residential insecticides was associated with a significant increase in risk of childhood leukemia and childhood lymphomas. A […]
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission Considers Amending Radioactive Release Regulations
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has received three petitions for rulemaking (PRM) requesting that the NRC amend its “Standards for Protection Against Radiation” regulations and change the basis of those regulations from the Linear No-Threshold (LNT) model of radiation protection to the radiation hormesis model. The radiation hormesis model provides that exposure of the […]
California Seals Dying From Leukemia (FUKUSHIMA RADIATION)
Dead baby seals have been plaguing the coast of California. Recent lab reports reveal that the cause of death for many baby seals was disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), adding further evidence that marine life has been contaminated by radiation from the Fukushima disaster. DIC is not a disease in and of itself. It is a […]
Documented effects of glyphosate and its pathways to modern diseases
Documented effects of glyphosate and its ability to induce disease, show that glyphosate is the “textbook example” of exogenous semiotic entropy: the disruption of homeostasis by environmental toxins. Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup®, is the most popular herbicide used worldwide. The industry asserts it is minimally toxic to humans, but here we argue otherwise. […]
New Study: Consumers Don’t View GMO Labels as Negative ‘Warnings’
A new study released just days after the U.S. House passed a bill that would prevent states from requiring labels on genetically modified foods reveals that GMO labeling would not act as warning labels and scare consumers away from buying products with GMO ingredients. The study, presented at the annual conference of the Agricultural and […]
