Freshwater Fish Contain ‘Staggering’ Amount of Toxic PFAS Chemicals, Study Finds
Environmental Working Group A new study by Environmental Working Group (EWG), scientists find that consumption of just a single serving of freshwater sh per year could be equal to a month of drinking water laced with the “forever chemical” PFOS, or perfluorooctanesulfonic acid, at high levels that may be harmful. Researchers calculated that eating one […]
Gene Drives in Plants: Opportunities and Challenges for Weed Control and Engineered Resilience
Luke G. Barrett et al. Plant species, populations and communities are under threat from climate change, invasive pathogens, weeds and habitat fragmentation. Despite considerable research effort invested in genome engineering for crop improvement, the development of genetic tools for the management of wild plant populations has rarely been given detailed consideration. Gene drive systems that […]
Novel Foods: A Risk Profile for the House Cricket (Acheta Domesticus)
X. Fernandez-Cassi et al. Novel foods could represent a sustainable alternative to traditional farming and conventional foodstuffs. Starting in 2018, Regulation (EU) 2283/2015 entered into force, laying down provisions for the approval of novel foods in Europe, including insects. This Approved Regulation establishes the requirements that enable Food Business Operators to bring new foods into […]
PI Water: More Than Just Energised H2O
Stefan Lanka There are several ways to add energy to water. Through movement, irradiation, pressure, heating and the dissolving of substances. One help in deciding whether and which method of energising water is helpful for humans, animals and plants is to answer the question, what does nature do? Does nature energise water when biological life […]
The Liquid Crystalline Organism and Biological Water
Mae-Wan Ho et al. The organism is a dynamic liquid crystalline continuum with coherent motions on every scale. Evidence is presented that biological (interfacial) water, aligned and moving coherently with the macromolecular matrix, is integral to the liquid crystallinity of the organism; and that the liquid crystalline continuum facilitates rapid intercommunication throughout the body, enabling […]
‘One Health’ – The Global Takeover of Everything?
Joseph Mercola The World Health Organization (WHO) is seeking to cement its control over global health through amendments to the international health regulations (IHR) and its pandemic treaty. The pandemic treaty will grant the WHO power over far more than pandemic responses. It emphasizes the “One Health” agenda, which combines human health, animal health and […]
Who’s Tipping the Scales?
Molly Anderson et al. / IPES-Food 2023 … The power of giant agribusiness firms was already a matter of concern over a century ago. Attempts have been made to rein them in through anti-trust policies, lobbying registers, and even a UN Code of Conduct on Transnational Corporations. But these efforts were ultimately inadequate, and the […]
Alternate Mechanisms of mRNA Vaccine Toxicity: Which One is the Main Culprit?
Michael Palmer This paper summarizes the mode of action of mRNA vaccines, as well as three potential pathogenetic mechanisms that may account for the toxicity observed with the mRNA vaccines against COVID-19, namely: chemical toxicity of lipid nanoparticles, direct toxicity of the spike protein, whose expression is induced by the vaccines, and the destructive effects […]
