GMO “gold rush” underway after USDA refuses to regulate Crispr gene editing of foods

The USDA has inexplicably decided not to regulate the Crispr gene editing technique for food, and a slew of young companies are working around the clock to take advantage of this business-friendly approach and vie for dominance in the gene-edited crop sphere.

Crispr gene “edited” food crops the new wave of GMOs… are they safer or just as dangerous?

A growing segment of the public has made it clear that they do not want to consume GMOs, and you only need to look at the labels touting the non-GMO status of a growing number of foods in the grocery store to see evidence of just how much the masses have awakened to the dangers […]

The myth of “substantial equivalence” of GM crops shown to be false

Are genetically modified crops actually equivalent to real food? New research has shown the answer to that question is an emphatic “no.” Despite Big Biotech’s claims that their GMO crops are “the same” as regular, traditionally cultivated crops, dramatic differences in phenotypes show that this assertion is simply untrue. While many people have long suspected […]

“GOT MILK” MAFIA: Dairy industry required to pay “protection fees” to non-profits that push milk propaganda

What comes to mind when you hear the question “Got Milk?” If you’re like most Americans, you’re probably picturing someone famous with a milk mustache. It’s one of the most memorable ad taglines of recent times, a remarkable feat for a product that is so inherently boring. The dairy industry has surely profited handsomely from […]

Gene editing industry officials lobbying to take power to regulate away from FDA, says report

Will gene editing ever become a widely accepted practice when it comes to raising livestock and other animals? While the answer to that question is still unclear, it appears that industry officials are now doing everything in their power to remove regulations that are standing in their way. Indeed, there is reportedly a lobbying effort […]

We’re just a hop, skip, and jump away from buying and consuming genetically-engineered food

So far, it’s been pretty easy to avoid consuming genetically-engineered food. Buying organic and looking out for Non-GMO Project verification can give you assurance that you’re not getting anything genetically engineered. Could all that be about to change? A new wave of genetically engineered food is about to hit the market, and loose regulations will […]

The security of our food and nutrition supply is compromised by pesticide residues, new science finds

The world is getting more connected by the minute – and with that comes our dependence on specific regions for certain food items. Take Brazil, for example. Thanks to its climate and geographical diversity, the country has slowly put its place on the map: What was once a country only known for sugar has become […]

GreenMedInfo blows the lid on SOYLENT, a cocktail of GMOs, chemical “vitamins” and questionable ingredients

As a general rule, anything promoted by the status quo is probably toxic to your mental or physical health. At the same time, natural health solutions that really work — herbal medicine, Chinese Medicine, superfoods, etc. — are systematically attacked and smeared. That helps explain why the status quo is promoting Soylent, a pro-GMO meal […]
