An appeals court says CA can list the herbicide glyphosate as a carcinogen

After much fanfare, a state appeals court has ruled that California can list glyphosate as a carcinogen — and that the state’s ban on discharging the herbicide into public waterways stands, too. Despite Monsanto’s best efforts to keep the toxicity of their product under wraps, the ruling in California is undoubtedly a small victory for concerned consumers and environmental advocates everywhere.  READ MORE…

Pigs: Genetic alteration

Not only have pigs been fed Ractopamine for years in the USA, which makes them leaner but may give humans a heart attack.  What’s more the drug is banned in 160 countries including China.  Since China took over Smithfield, the leader in USA hog production, one would only hope that they have eliminated the practice.  However, here is something novel in the Food industry.

2 US companies have teamed up to jointly cooperate on a breeding plan to have male piglets born castrated.  Read More…

VLA Comment:  Most religious and metaphysical organizations and their practioners do not eat pork.  Good thinking!

SENOMYX: List of FOOD companies using FETAL CELLS from aborted babies to flavor.

SENOMYX: List of FOOD companies using FETAL CELLS from aborted babies to flavor.

Many propagandists claim that fetal cells are derrived from one cell line, one fetus, decades ago.  Here is Sayerji from Green Meds research on the currency of fetal cell lines.  “BIOTECH’S DARK PROMISE!

SNOPES: Although Snopes dances around whether there are fetal cells in Pepsi…they confirm that Pepsi has a deal with Senomyx producers and that Senomyx indeed uses a technology that is derived from fetal cells.

https://www.lifesitenews.com/blogs/confused-about-the-pepsi-fetal-cell-issue-here-are-the-facts

Aborted cells are used in the development of artificial flavor enhancers by biotech company Senomyx, with which PepsiCo signed a four-year, $30 million agreement in 2010 for research and development. No Pepsi products containing Senonymx flavor enhancers should be expected until 2013.

Senomyx artificial flavor, unlabeled

The tongue of a foetus was used solel to develop a technology that could “taste” how sweet, sour, salty etc. To my understanding now, it is not in the products, but a potentially dangerous compound is.

Nestles, Kraft, Pepsi, etc invested in the development of a profound compound whose patent papers show the size of the compound being like half of a copy paper. The consideration we are having is that were there any long term studies? How senomyx (unlabeled) works is that this compound in the product affects the taste buds.

BIG POTENTIAL DANGER

So instead of sugar, this compound is put in the product and fools your tongue to think their is sugar in the product but there is not…so no sugar calories. However, who is to say that this compound won’t destroy the taste buds with its repeated, unnnatural assault and leave our tastebuds damaged. We enjoy food and drink…we really enjoy taste so much that we overeat because though our stomach is full our mouths want some delight. What would the world seems like if we lost our tastebuds due to this ubiquitous unnatural assault? I have put in a FOIA request for a copy of their long term test that should have been done for FDA approval.

 

Products using synomyx, generally unlabled:

 To our knowledge, The only companies using Senomyx flavors are listed on this website:  www.cogforlife.org/fetalproductsall.pdf  .

VLA Comment: Apparently, Cog for Life has done “extensive research” on the issue and is assured that there is no fetal DNA or cloned human DNA in the final products as the technology using fetal cells were just to identify the taste receptors in order to make “chemical compounds” to alter and fool our tastebuds.  Although, apparently, except for using fetal cells of healthy but aborted babies to discover the mechanism of taste receptors, the final aim was to develope chemical compounds to alter our tastebuds.  My question is how good is that for our species that we can no longer can  trust our God given senses? And moreover, are these chemical compounds poisonous, carcinogenic or ultimately destructive to the organic tastebud receptors?

VLA COMMENT: It must be over 10 years ago that VLA tried to influence the FDA regarding Senomyx when it was just getting off the ground. We did the same with GMO technology…but much of the corporate establishment knows no bounds when it comes to greed.   There is more to know.  

This bears repeating:  ASIDE FROM FETAL CELLS, These specialized molecules trick the tongue into not tasting the bitterness naturally inherent in foods such as cocoa or soy. Moreso, Senomyx is considered propriety and is not labelled. Think about the social implications of a child thinking he is tasting something sweet when it is not….it is just an affect the nano technology of synomex has on the tongue.  Truly we are in an age that no one can trust their five senses.

San Diego-based Senomyx has created novel flavors such as cold and creamy based on a rethinking of how taste buds perceive flavor. Using nanoscale assays, researchers have identified which individual cells on a given taste bud perceive a flavor. Each cell would recognize just one of the five main flavors — bitter, salty, sweet, sour and umami. Working within this conceptualization, the company has developed a library of flavors, incluing compounds called bitter blockers. These specialized molecules trick the tongue into not tasting the bitterness naturally inherent in foods such as cocoa or soy. These bitter blockers as well as Senomyx’s sweet and salty enhancers have already gotten the nod of approval from food giants such as Nestle and Coca Cola who are responding to consumer desires for packaged foods and beverages formulated with less salt and sugar.

VLA Comment:  Quote from Bittermyx (Senomyx) “Our scientists have identified the function of 22 bitter taste receptors responsible for sending the bitter taste signals in many API products used in OTC and prescription drugs. Leveraging this knowledge, Senomyx has developed a comprehensive bitter receptor profile to more effectively screen APIs and to identify the specific bitter receptors associated with bitter taste of a given API”.

You see, they are affecting the receptors on our tongues, basically without our knowledge or permission. http://www.senomyx.com/api-program/

Emails exposed: EPA on the take with Monsanto-Glyphosate causes Cancer

Emails (copies can be seen on the link below) between the EPA & Monsanto now reveal the collusion and in-house fighting among the EPA decision makers, in favor of Monsanto Glyphosate as a causal Cancer product

EPA and FDA give go ahead for 3 types of GMO potatoes for 2017

EPA and FDA give go ahead for 3 types of GMO potatoes… planting begins this year

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have given permission to Idaho-based agribusiness giant J.R. Simplot Co. to begin the spring planting and fall harvesting of three different types of genetically modified potatoes.

Simplot says that the varieties are genetically engineered to resist the pathogen associated with late blight, the disease responsible for the Irish potato famine. The GMO potatoes are also modified to keep them from turning brown when sliced, to be resistant to bruises and black spots, and to have a longer storage life.  READ MORE…

Genetic Engineering: Wiping Out Malaria infecting Mosquitoes

To Fight Malaria, Scientists Try Genetic Engineering To Wipe Out Mosquitoes

Excerpts:

Hammond’s team is genetically engineering the Anopheles gambiae mosquito, which is the primary species that spreads the malaria parasite. Nearly all of the offspring of the modified mosquitoes inherit mutations that knock out the genes females need to make eggs.

“If we can sterilize the females,” he says, we “can actually eliminate a whole mosquito population without affecting those mosquitoes that don’t have the capability to transmit malaria.”

Many scientists think gene drives could have their biggest impact on agriculture. Gene drives might, for example, enable researchers to quickly transform entire crops so that farmers don’t need to use polluting pesticides.

“This is our chance to solve some of the world’s most pressing problems using biology,” says Kevin Esvelt, a gene-drive researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

But critics worry gene drives are just too powerful and could easily produce unintended consequences.
