When the researchers lie, that’s when. If you still have a shred of trust in Monsanto or believe GMO are not harmful, read this: http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/05/29/jeffrey-smith-interview-specter-rebuttal.aspx

There is a large amount of money motivated suppression on our food supply. Check this out: http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/movies/food-inc-20100510-uoaq.html

• If you want to use food to optimize your health, it is helpful to pay attention not only to the food quality but also how you prepare it, being careful to use methods that do not seriously impair food quality
• Studies suggest microwaving your food could expose you to carcinogenic toxins released from plastic or paper wrappers, and destroy valuable nutrients in the food
• A Swiss food scientist found that microwaved food increased cholesterol levels, decreased red and white blood cell counts, decreased hemoglobin and produced radiolytic compounds

An important ruling was recently handed down by the European Court of Justice in April about supplement regulation.

First the bad:

The court accepted the scientific methodology that our Dr. Rob Verkerk has so effectively shown to be highly flawed. This is not too surprising. What do judges know about science?

But there is some good too:

The Court also ruled that national governments or the European Commission cannot implement excessively low maximum vitamin levels without demonstrating “genuine” or “real” risks to human health. ANH- Europe believes that this ‘supreme view’ from the highest court in Europe could pave the way for preventing disproportionate bans on particular molecular forms of nutrients that are known to be safe (and beneficial) at supplemental doses currently used. For more on this story, please see the following report from ANH-Intl.

Pesticide exposure doubles risk of ADHD

A growing body of literature provides evidence that pesticides may have a role in the development of ASD and ADHD. The observed pesticide exposures in the epidemiologic studies are incidental and generally low level. They occur prior to conception, during gestation, and in early childhood at critical stages of neurologic development. It is likely for both ASD and ADHD that there are gene–environment interactions. This brief review provides a framework to understand evidence for pesticides in the etiology of ASD and ADHD. The laboratory science provides mechanistic data as well as confirmation of symptoms in controlled dosing experiments. The epidemiological data provide supporting evidence for human outcomes beginning in the earliest stages of childhood development and at exposures well below those resulting in acute toxicity. While the evidence cannot be considered conclusive, the existing data justifies further research.
