GMOs, “Biggest Fraud in the History of Science”

The decision on whether to renew EU approval for the herbicide glyphosate is to go to an appeals panel on 23 June after a last ditch attempt to get a temporary re-authorisation failed on 6 June (for some background information, see this). It is unclear if the meeting will produce the majority vote needed to pass the authorisation. The current licence for glyphosate in the EU expires on 30 June.

Kids Are Eating Far More Sugar at Breakfast Than Nutrition Labels Suggest

…with sugar at 9 grams per serving and cartoon-centered cereal ads on TV, kids are eating far more of the sweet stuff than the nutrition label suggests, according to EWG. The serving size for cereal is 30 grams, but according to data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, children eat between 42 and 62 grams of cereal, on average, in a serving—putting their sugar intake at nearly twice the amount listed on the nutrition label. According to the EWG report, that amounts to five to nine additional pounds of sugar consumed annually.
