The Almonds are Falling

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

Two handlers of conventional (non-organic) almonds each had an instance where the almonds they packed were contaminated with Salmonella. These two instances occurred over a period of 6 years. A few folks got tummy aches. This so roused the folks who control the almond industry that they mandated that the entire crop be fumigated. This is doubly tragic in that the almond crop has been short for the past three years. Finally, when they got a bumper crop, the largest ever, of 1.3 billion pounds, instead of rejoicing in the bountifulness of this California earth, albeit so abused, they can think of nothing better than to fumigate it. Your American heritage - fumigated! Something like 600,000,000 pounds will be treated with the remainder exported to civilized countries where fumigation is forbidden…. read more

Chemical Food Additives - Are They Slowly Killing Our Children?

Let me start by saying a chemical additive doesn’t necessarily ‘appear’ to be a problem immediately after ingestion. Quite often the effects are cumulative; a gradual build-up in the body produces roller-coaster days, some good, some bad. Some children are more sensitive to food chemicals and display immediate effects soon after ingestion of additives, colours in particular. In small amounts additives are not harmful. Effects are dose related and, tragically, dose for weight, children are consuming several times more additives than the acceptable daily intake (ADI). Before we get into the details of the most common problem foods, it is necessary to understand the testing and approval process, with emphasis on those factors that may confer the level of risk of toxic additives in infants and young children’s diets…read more

New Stealth Chemicals Hidden in Your Food

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

If you pick up a can of soup and find the sodium levels are lower than you expected, or that a food item advertises it has “less sugar” or “no MSG”…then there may be cause for alarm.

A relatively young company, Senomyx, may be responsible for the sodium and sugar levels falling in various grocery store items. They may be putting chemicals into your food right now, without telling you and without you even realizing. Under the law, they don’t have to… read more

50 Harmful Effects of Genetically Modified Foods

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

By Nathan Batalion

Largely between 1997 and 1999, gene-modified (GM) ingredients suddenly appeared in 2/3rds of all US processed foods. This food alteration was fueled by a single Supreme Court ruling. It allowed, for the first time, the patenting of life forms for commercialization. Since then thousands of applications for experimental GM organisms have been filed with the US Patent Office alone, and many more abroad. Furthermore an economic war broke out to own equity in firms which either have such patent rights or control the food-related organisms to which they apply….read more
