Want more proof that Monsanto’s demise is imminent? In a recently published Nielsen study of 30,000 consumers, 80 percent of respondents said they would pay more for foods that indicate a degree of healthfulness, such as those labeled ‘Non-GMO.’ Do we really need more proof that people are turning their backs on biotech-altered poison crops?

Coconut Water: A New Alzheimer’s Disease Treatment? – Sayer Ji, Founder
Unlike conventional drug treatments for Alzheimer’s disease, coconut oil and water may help resolve some of the root causes of neurodegenerative conditions.

Iowa State University goes bananas over GMOs – Tim Schwab
When news circulated that the first people to consume a new GMO banana would be student guinea pigs at Iowa State University, the university community had questions.

Swedish politician: US is the true cause of the masses of refugees from the Middle East
The present Swedish debate about war refugees from the Middle East is an example of peer restricted expression.

While many eagerly await the day when China will finally reveal its latest official gold holdings, a number which when made public will be orders of magnitude higher than its last 2009 disclosure of just over 1,000 tons, or less even than Russia, China continues to plough ahead with agreements and arrangements to obtain even more gold in the coming years.

Patrolling the hood from (China) sea to shining sea By Pepe Escobar
If only Mad Men in real life were like Don Draper – channeling his true inner self, after many a rocky season, to finally click on “I’m OK, you’re OK.” Instead, we have a bunch of (Pentagon) madmen provoking every major geostrategic competitor all at once. The Masters of War at the self-described “Don’t Do Stupid Stuff” Obama administration are …
