What you can do now to protect your food from GMO

On November 6, 2012, voters in California will have a historic opportunity to do for themselves what the government will not do for them. It will be a huge fight to the finish, as some of the biggest companies in the world (and their considerable resources), particularly Monsanto, will do all they can to stop us. On that date, California citizens can mandate that their food is honestly labeled as to whether it contains GMO Frankenfood or not.

Industry contends such food is safe, just like it portrayed cigarettes, Agent Orange, and even DDT years before we knew for sure these were dangerous. Well, if it’s safe, then why deny us any knowledge of GMO ingredients?

Don't let your genetics give you diabetes and heart disease

Did you know the diet your mom ate while she was pregnant can affect your health? A new study found that moms that eat a poor diet while pregnant can significantly increase your risk of heart problems and diabetes. Fortunately, you’re not destined to suffer because of your genetics.

This Cornell University study found that you can change your future risk of diabetes and hypertension. The discovery came when they were able to alter the amount of a particular nutrient mothers eat while pregnant. It had a dramatic impact on the health of their children.

Why your doctor won’t treat you for this vitamin deficiency

 Are you feeling weak and tired compared to the way you used to feel? Is your memory starting to slip? Is your balance off? Are you dizzy or depressed? A lot of folks over 60 suffer from one or more of these symptoms. Some doctors will tell you, “You’re just getting old.” While that may be true, it doesn’t mean you have to be unhealthy. There is a biological reason for the symptoms – and a simple treatment.

Unfortunately, the reason may not convince your doctor of your diagnosis. Here’s why: If you look up these symptoms, you’ll find that your problem may be a deficiency of vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 is often deficient in people over 60. That’s because the enzyme systems that absorb B12 from your food often no longer work as you get older. So you go to your doctor and ask to have your B12 levels checked. And this is what your doctor ends up telling you.
