Cancer Scares and Reality

Will US cut off support for WHO’s IARC over pilloried glyphosate cancer report? Every day, it seems, I read an article from an activist-captured media source that quotes the International Agency for Reasearch on Cancer’s (IARC) glyphosate position and ignores the negative reactions from other scientific institutions like European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), Germany’s Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR), WHO-FAO, the America’s Environmental Protection Agency, the New Zealand and Canadian authorities, and the undiplomatic outrage of most of the scientific community. It is quite clear that the science defending glyphosate is not the problem; IARC’s intransigence, political bias, and bad scientific methodology is the problem.  How can we fix IARC?.............To Read More.....

Epigenetics

 

How does genetics explain non-identical identical twins? - Newspapers recently went wild with a story about identical twin sisters with a difference: they weren’t identical. Like all identical twins, Amelia and Jasmine arose from a single fertilised egg so have identical DNA, but somehow look different from each other.   One child has dark skin, black hair and brown eyes while the other has fair skin, light-brown hair and blue eyes.  How is this possible?   Have the doctors or scientists got it wrong? No one has got it wrong. They really are identical twins. ......To Read More...

 

Explainer: how epigenetics is providing insight into cancer -DNA provides the instructions to make us how we look and contributes to our life expectancy. Identical twins have exactly the same DNA, so why are slightly different in many ways? The answer is epigenetics........Epigenetic factors are chemical tags on the DNA or on proteins called histones. These chemical tags attach to the DNA and are responsible for providing the DNA-packing signals inside cells. There are lots of different epigenetic factors and the number of new chemical tags discovered are increasing......To Read More...

GMOS

There's a totally new way to genetically modify our food - Few topics in science are as hotly debated as that of genetically modified organisms, or GMOs.  These are foods — usually plants, though we're starting to see animals too — whose DNA has been modified to include genes from other organisms to produce a particular trait, such as disease or pesticide resistance..............These include the gene-editing tool CRISPR/Cas9, which works like a biological find-and-replace function to cut out genes and splice in new ones. In the last few years this technique and others have really taken off, and are already being used to develop potential treatments for genetic diseases.............But some people are already voicing their opposition to the new gene-editing technologies. Earth Open Source, a European NGO funded by the Maharishi cult, recently attacked the claim that CRISPR was more accurate than previous genetic engineering tools........To Read More.....

My Take - Why are these "anti's" against everything that makes human survival better?  Because they hate humanity.  We have to get this once and for all.  The green movement is a secular neo-pagan death cult that borders on mysticism.   If you look at everything they disapprove of and those things they approve of you will find the same pattern.  A movement designed to eliminate between four and five billion people from the planet....and that's the moderate wing of the movement.  The "radicals" want to eliminate humanity. 

2016 Presidential Race: Clinton, Trump, Stein and Johnson on Food, Farming and GMOs - As part of a multi-part Genetic Literacy Project series on the candidates’ view on genetics and biotechnology—in medicine and agriculture. In this article, we examine how Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Libertarian Gary Johnson and the Green Party’s Jill Stein address issues on food, farming, and crop genetic modification......To Read More.....

‘Crimes Against Humanity’? Who is behind the International Monsanto Tribunal circus? From October 14-16, 2016, a group of environmental activists will host a faux tribunal in The Hague to pretend to prosecute Monsanto for crimes against humanity. The Missouri-based company sells both genetically engineered seeds and pesticides, which makes them Enemy No. 1 of the anti-technology activists who lead the global environmental movement.  The International Monsanto Tribunal is being spearheaded by some of the most notable anti-GMO activists in the world, including Vandana Shiva, a philosopher and author who makes $40,000 a speech telling phony stories about Indian farmers committing suicide because they planted genetically modified seeds. The stunt (held in a small school in The Hague, not the International Criminal Court) will “hold Monsanto accountable for human-rights violations, for crimes against humanity, and for ecocide.".......To Read More.....
