Hot Topics: GMOs, Environmental Toxins, and Five Bad Habits to Avoid

Monsanto GM corn linked to organ failure - If you need a reason to stay clear of GMOs here’s a good one – Monsanto’s genetically modified corn has been linked to organ damage in lab rats. Though this story is more than a year old it’s still highly relavent and worth reading. Take the time to educate yourself about genetically modified crops and foods!
Children from low income households have higher levels of toxins in their bodies - Unfortunately this study doesn’t surprise me. Low income kids usually live in areas with more environmental toxins than their wealthier counterparts, and eat diets that contain more of the additives we should avoid. This is why we have to fight to change things folks!
Five bad habits that are making you age faster - Uh oh! I have a tendency to do three out of five - I guess I need to break of couple of bad habits… I definitely need to set aside more time workout, relax, and stop the eye rubbing!

Franken Foods – to Eat or Not to Eat?

I recently read a great article by Ronnie Cummins about GMO labeling and taking on Monsanto - it’s up to individuals like you and me at the grassroots level to make GMO labeling a reality.
