by Arjun Walia Over the past few years, a number of countries have completely banned GMOs and the pesticides that go along with them, and they are doing so for a reason. The latest country to consider a complete ban is Russia after top government…
by Arjun Walia Sri Lanka has decided to completely ban glyphosate from their country; it’s the active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide. In doing so they join a growing list of countries that have/are doing the same. The ban comes out of concern that the…
by Sayer Ji Between the hard and fast dichotomies of cooked and raw, dead and alive, is this beautiful thing called fermented. A place where many of the digestive challenges associated with raw foods (e.g. enzyme inhibitors, anti-nutrients, lectins) are overcome in favor of not…
by Stephanie Relfe It looks the same — the bread, pies, sodas, even corn on the cob. So much of what we eat every day looks just like it did 20 years ago. But something profoundly different has happened without our knowledge or consent. And…

by Catherine J. Frompovich What kind of hornet’s nest was opened up for the GM industry in view of the retraction of the two year “Long term toxicity of a Roundup herbicide and a Roundup-tolerant genetically modified maize”, by G E Séralini et al, published…
by Rady Ananda After a 2012 study linking cancer with Monsanto’s genetically modified corn, the scientific journal that published the study is now retracting it, after hiring a former Monsanto employee to fill a new editorial position reviewing biotechnology papers. In September 2012, the scientific…
by Dr. Kelly Brogan “You should consider eliminating all gluten and dairy from your diet for 3 months.” Gulp. Those words hung in the air like an alien spacecraft hovering between us. When I had the good sense to consult a naturopath after my diagnosis…
GMWatch Reporter Statement by GMWatch The editor of the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology (FCT), Dr A. Wallace Hayes, has decided to retract the study by the team of Prof Gilles-Eric Séralini, which found that rats fed a Monsanto genetically modified (GM) maize NK603 and…
by Anna Hunt Have you ever considered the similarities between vaccinations and genetically modified foods (also referred to as GMOs)? Both of these ‘innovations’ illustrate clearly our human desire to fix what doesn’t necessarily need fixing, manipulate what doesn’t suit us, and take control over…
By Dr. Kelly Brogan, M.D. I’ve never been very politically minded. I’m not a conspiracy theorist. I’ve never been arrested and I don’t like to get in trouble. I do like, and always have, to think for myself. I’m a natural skeptic and pragmatist. These…
By Heather Callaghan Online radio summits are growing hugely in popularity. Mainly in the consciousness and metaphysical realms – but why not have summits on other topics, too? The GMO mini-summit begins today and promises to inform anyone who is interested in all the aspects…
by Rady Ananda Watch out when kids take up a cause; they can have more political pull than 1,000 bleary-eyed cynics. This time, girls are getting in on opposition to genetically modified foods by demanding their organizations only sell organic – or at the very…
by Dylan Charles Will Colombia’s farmers defeat the economic hitmen of the agricultural industry? Early in September, 2013, the Colombian government was forced to partially concede to the demands of a nationwide general strike instigated by farmers of the largely agrarian nation. The three-week-long protests and…
By Natasha Longo As one of the few nations in the world with a GMO-free platform, Russia does not allow any cultivation of GMOs for commercial purposes. Their regulatory agencies recently suspended the import and use of an American GM corn following a study suggesting…
By Sayer Ji The U.S. food industry is notorious for poisoning the very consumers who drive their multi-billion dollar enterprise, even spending millions against their right to informed consent (truthful GMO labeling). So, is it any wonder that this deregulated and increasingly deranged juggernaut is…
by Rady Ananda An eastern Washington field has been contaminated with Roundup Ready alfalfa, the state Ag Department confirmed on Friday. The farmer reports he did not plant it, nor wants it. Of course we knew this was going to happen. Alfalfa seeds are only 2mm…
by Rady Ananda Superweeds are dominating the discussion at the American Chemical Society (ACS) symposium, being held in Indianapolis through Sept. 12. Not surprisingly, the solutions proposed include different toxic brews in tandem with stacked genetic traits in a never-ending chemical arms race with Mother…
by Daisy Luther The USDA has just approved a new generation of GMOs for use with more deadly herbicides than the toxic glyphosate that currently taints farms across America. You won’t hear about this on the mainstream though – it was all done very quietly…
by Sayer Ji A new study reveals that one of the most widely used GM pest control technologies could actually be increasing pest virulence in non-target and normally benign species. A new study published in the biological sciences journal of the Proceedings of the Royal…
