Report: GMO technology largely ineffective, unneeded

According to Failure to Yield,  a 2009 report by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), biotechnology industry claims about higher crop yields are not verifiable. “Despite 20 years of research and 13 years of commercialization, genetic engineering has failed to significantly increase US crop yields,” says UCS.


Pressure on farmers to provide cheap, adequate amounts of food is accelerating due to climate change, increasing population, demand for biofuels and the global economic downturn. The public response of biotechnology companies like Monsanto is that they are willing and able to feed the world. The promise of rapid, high-tech improvements in plant genetics to deal with new agricultural challenges is the main PR line of biotech giants.

Tree of Life - Coconut Oil

Coconut Oil SLAMMED – Soybean Growers make a KILLING

If coconut oil is so good, why does it have a bad reputation?

The simple reason is MONEY and GREED.

Everybody knows coconut oil is a saturated fat.

We are constantly told to reduce our saturated fat intake.

The words saturated fat have become almost synonymous with heart disease.

Very few people know the difference between the medium-chain saturated fatty acids in coconut oil and the long-chain saturated fatty acids in meat and other foods.
