Obesity, Heart Disease Largely Driven By Sugar–Industry And Government Don’t Want Us To Know That
Sugar Is The Enemy, Not Fat, But You Would Never Know It If You Listened To The FDA It has long been known that sugar, not fat was the prime culprit in driving obesity. Why then has it been ignored for so long? For those of us old enough to remember the original food pyramid, the one with a cautious note on fats and oils at the very top, “Use sparingly,” with a massive base of breads, cereals and grains advising 6-11 servings a day(!),… Read the rest

Bill that would outlaw labeling of GMO products to reach Senate floor this week

Bayer AG sold HIV-tainted drugs to Argentina, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, and Singapore, knowing full well that it had already created a heating process that would prevent the transmission of HIV through the product for more fortunate first world children. And worst of all, this was no accident, or just some corporate malfeasance that can be prosecuted. Our taxpayer funded FDA approved this sale, signing off on this odious deal. And while no officials at Bayer or at the FDA have ever been prosecuted for these crimes against humanity, officials on the receiving end of Bayer’s largesse have.
