POPSChickens Not Fooled by GM Crops GM corn found itself in the hot seat late last year, after a highly reputable study commissioned by the Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety discovered that mice fed GM corn had significantly smaller and fewer offspring compared to the control group. The lead author of the study stated there was a direct link between the GM diet and reduced fertility. Likewise, Jeffrey Smith, author of Seeds of Deception and Genetic Roulette, has documented 65 serious health risks from GM products of all kinds. Among them: * Offspring of rats fed GM soy showed a five-fold increase in mortality, lower birth weights, and the inability to reproduce * Male mice fed GM soy had damaged sperm * The embryo offspring of GM soy-fed mice had altered DNA functioning * Several US farmers reported sterility or fertility problems among pigs and cows fed on GM corn varieties So the question is, what

POPSAre Your Supermarket Plums Genetically Modified? Of course, this tip works not only for plums but for just about any fruit or vegetable in the fresh produce section. Nearly all of these foods are GM so it is wise to avoid them: • Soy • Corn • Cottonseed • Canola It would also be wise to limit products made from these ingredients, such as vegetable oils, maltodextrin and high-fructose corn syrup. In fact, because corn and soy are so widely used in processed foods, at least 70 percent of the processed foods at your supermarket contain GM ingredients. That’s seven out of every 10 products. Other GMO products include: • Some varieties of zucchini, crookneck squash, and papayas from Hawaii • Milk containing rbGH • Rennet (containing genetically modified enzymes) used to make hard cheeses • Aspartame (NutraSweet)

POPScoconutoil.com: learn the truth about coconut oil The more reading and research I do, the more it seems that we've been sold a bundle of lies about food. How many things that we were told were horrible seem to actually be fine? Butter, eggs, saturated fats, etc. And the things that were supposed to be healthy are really not. Vegetable shortening/margarine/other hydrogenated fats, canola oil, fat-free/sugar-free stuff, non-fat dairy products... I find myself leaning more and more towards Michael Pollan's advice: If your grandmother* wouldn't recognize it, you shouldn't eat it. *Your grandmother, or somebody else's – I don't think either of my grandmothers would have recognized fish sauce, chana dal, or pickled ginger, but if she'd been Thai, Indian, or Japanese, they would have.
