A
U.S. court has banned any further planting of
genetically modified sugar beets until the completion of proper safety studies.
This has landed the corporate houses and farmers in an utterly troublesome
situation. The problem is so grave that the biotech giant Monsanto has already
submitted a petition to the United States Department of Agriculture requesting
to allow a small and closely monitored planting of the GM sugar beet in order to
avoid devastation of the local sugar market. Natural News reports that
not only Monsanto but a few other sugar producing organizations have made the
same request to the USDA.
The
USDA, understanding the gravity of the situation, has published a 365-page
report over the necessity of the farmers to be able to plant the RoundUp Ready
sugar beets in a controlled way. The main reason behind the banning of the GM
sugar beets was the contamination of other crops. The court has also stated
that a proper Environmental Impact Statement or EIS has to be incorporated
before further planting of GM sugar beets can be resumed.
Microwaves cause cancer!
Natural
News reports that microwaves
that are used in a large number of households all over the world are nothing
but cancer producing machines. Research studies clearly indicate that foods
that have been cooked or warmed in microwaves usher in cancer. Back in 1992, a
team of researchers in Stanford found out that most of the nutrients in
mother’s milk were destroyed when the milk was warmed in the microwave. The
study also revealed that more than 90 percent of the disease protecting
elements in the mother’s milk was also destroyed in the warming process. In
1992, the study conducted by Hans Hertel and Bernard Blanc over the impact of
microwave cooked foods on human body also produced more or less similar
results.
