DEADLINE 6pm EST: Tell the AMA to support GMO food labeling
By David Bancroft
Just Label It
Just last night, the American Medical Assn. opened itself to feedback from non-AMA members before it weighs in on the debate to label genetically engineered foods. That means they want to hear from people like you and me. This is a huge, and rare, opportunity, so we need your help right now. We need to make sure that doctors support our right to know how the food we feed our families is produced. We know the FDA takes their views seriously.
Contact the AMA by 6 pm today and tell them to support GMO food labels by adopting Resolution 509-A-11 in lieu of the Council Report on GMO labeling.
PermalinkFDA okays GMO carrot for rare Gaucher disease
By Rady Ananda
Food Freedom News
The US Food & Drug Admin. just approved a drug made from genetically modified carrots to treat Gaucher, a rare disease found mostly among Ashkenazi Jews. Out of a global population of 6.8 billion, an estimated 600,000 to a million people carry the recessive gene for it, though not all are symptomatic.
The incidence of Gaucher is so rare, in fact, that to approve a GMO carrot for this purpose makes no sense, raising the specter of some unstated plan.
As expected when humans ingest active foreign DNA, one of the side effects of the FDA-approved drug, Elelyso®, is anaphylactic shock, among other allergic reactions.
New study: Amish prove raw milk promotes health in children

An international team of researchers recently confirmed that children who drink fresh milk–-unprocessed and unpasteurized-–have a better immune response to allergens and are far less likely to develop asthma.
This comes amidst a concerted state and federal effort to criminalize raw milk in the US, with a Minnesota trial and protest scheduled for Monday, May 14.
Researchers from Indiana, Switzerland, and Germany ran surveys and tests on Swiss and US children aged 6-12 years and submitted their results to the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology last month. [1]
