GMO wheat crops threaten the existence of organic wheat by tainting crops across the country

August 09, 2016 -

"Why is this a big deal? Because GE wheat has never been approved for commercialization or sale. These strains of GE wheat escaped from GMO field experiments conducted across 16 states by Monsanto from 1998 to 2005. As the USDA states, "Further testing by USDA laboratories indicates the presence of the same GE glyphosate-resistant wheat variety that Monsanto was authorized to field test in 16 states from 1998 to 2005."

In 2014, Montana wheat farmers discovered the same ...

Mad scientists to fall back on “CRISPR off switch” in case human gene editing goes horribly wrong

January 25, 2017 -

Perhaps one of the most concerning aspects about CRISPR-Cas9 was the inability for scientists to turn off the gene altering sequence. The potential for wrong genes to be snipped away and the consequential introduction of rogue genetic changes in human or animal DNA into the gene pool was (and still is) rather terrifying. Now, however, scientists claim that they have found a way to hopefully mitigate this tremendous risk. In a new study, researchers say that they have found ...

Coming soon: GMO wine — experts have discovered the gene in yeast DNA that alters flavor

December 04, 2017 -

The Belgian research team says that injecting the modified DNA into batches of beer and wine could yield new flavors at an unprecedented pace. They say their genetic modification will make developing new beers and wines a breeze and turn the laborious process of flavor development into a cakewalk. According to the team, flavor refinement can be made cheaper, faster and easier with genetic modification -- but what about the cost to human health?

Disturbing new study highlights the potential risks of “Franken-food” creations

February 04, 2019 -

No matter how you slice it, "Franken-foods" are highly questionable products, and no amount of assurances from the industry that created them is going to change that. Biotech corporations have made many promises about the good their GMO crops will do for the world, but so far all they've managed to do is create superweeds and destroy the planet with agrochemicals.Gene editing is the new GMO

The biotech industry is advertising a bevy of new fruits and vegetables that ...

Scientists WARN: Genetic editing of humans with “CRISPR” technology may lead to generation of cancer sufferers

June 14, 2018 -

Two shocking new studies, one led by the Karolinska Institute, and another one by Novartis, are sure to shake things up across the gene editing industry, now that it turns out the savior-status being granted to CRISPR-Cas9 tech may be undeserved. Both studies were published earlier this summer by the journal Nature. The dangers of CRISPR-Cas9

The gene editing technique has been promoted as a way to rid humans of disease, but as luck would have it – a successful gene edit ...

June 10, 2022 -

To reduce food waste, store food properly, shop better and start meal planning.Basic tips for storing produce properly

When storing fresh fruits and vegetables, remember these three important factors: ethylene, airflow and temperature.

Some fruits naturally release ethylene gas, which quickens the ripening and decay of nearby produce. Familiarize yourself with the ethylene production and sensitivity of fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as their airflow requirements, ...

CRISPR gene editing may wipe out human geniuses and dumb down human civilization to “conforming” average

January 04, 2017 -

CRISPR and associated "gene editing" technologies have come under fire for many of the same reasons as traditional genetic engineering, but now Dr. Jim Kozubek has raised a new concern: CRISPR may actually enable doctors to eliminate certain neurological and psychiatric "diseases" that have actually been the key to producing many of humanity's great minds throughout history.

Frankinsects: Scientists have “edited” a yellow, wingless mosquito with three eyes as a pest control strategy

November 21, 2017 -

While there's little doubt that mosquitoes are one of the most-hated insects, the truth is that they are still an integral part of the Earth's ecosystem. While many people recognize that though bees can sting, they are essential pollinators, few realize that the tiny, blood-thirsty mosquito also plays a key roll in pollination. Further, mosquitoes and their larvae are a source of food for many different creatures. Mosquitoes may be annoying, but how far should we be willing ...

The simple science of storing produce: How to make fruits and vegetables last

24 days ago -

In the quest for a healthier diet, you fill your kitchen with vibrant fruits and vegetables, only to watch helplessly as they wilt, mold or soften far too soon. This common frustration is more than a hit to your wallet; it's a missed opportunity for proper nutrition.

The good news is that with a few strategic storage techniques, you can dramatically extend the life and flavor of fresh produce. The secret lies not in complex gadgets, but in understanding ...

Gene-edited humans? First CRISPR-based gene therapy gets approved for clinical use in the U.K.

December 11, 2023 -

Gene therapy for inherited blood disorders

The exa-cel (short for exagamglogene autotemcel) therapy, which goes by the brand name Casgevy, is based on the gene-editing tool CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats), which was first reported in 2012 in the journal Science. This innovation won scientists Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier the 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

After rigorous assessment of exa-cel's effectiveness, quality and ...

BOMBSHELL: Genetic editing via CRISPR may cause widespread cancer, study warns

January 31, 2019 -

Some experts have said that CRISPR-Cas9, which entails altering specific genes in cells, could help us overcome diseases like cystic fibrosis, HIV, and Alzheimer’s. It almost sounded too good to be true, which should have been the first red flag. Now, the journal Nature Medicine has printed two studies that show the treatment could trigger cancer.

One study was carried out by Novartis and involved pluripotent stem cells, while the other was carried out by Karolinska ...

Salty and sweet: Snacks and treats provide a quick boost but the damaging side effects last longer

July 24, 2018 -

The main culprits of your bad health are chips and chocolate. This salty and sweet duo not only stresses out your liver but changes the way your brain works as well. The scary thing is, the “high” works immediately.

Take potato chips, for example. Salt is a rare nutrient, so our bodies are biologically programmed to crave it. Once it hits our tongue, we become instantly addicted. However, our brains can’t really tell how much salt is in our body, even as they are dissolved ...
