Written by a pseudo-scientific mind. You wouldn't know a truth from a falsehood. Join your mate Wiggs as intellectual worries. You don't have the vocabulary to talk about anything to do with science.
Its good to talk about this sort of subject instead of worrying about the small stuff like blue stars and blue fonts clown

Vince kinda nailed it though, right Falcon?  On the issues, that is.  You win of course on bluster and stupidity.  On that last one, you don't even have to try hard.  You got it covered, Ace.

Last year, doctors at Sherbrooke University Hospital in Quebec found Bt-toxin in the blood of:

    93 percent of pregnant women tested
    80 percent of umbilical blood in their babies, and
    67 percent of non-pregnant women

The study authors speculate that the Bt-toxin was likely consumed in the normal diet of the Canadian middle class—which makes sense when you consider that genetically engineered corn is present in the vast majority of all processed foods and drinks in the form of high fructose corn syrup. They also suggest that the toxin may have come from eating meat from animals fed Bt corn, which most livestock raised in confined animal feeding operations (CAFO, or so-called "factory farms") are.

These shocking results raise the frightening possibility that eating Bt corn might actually turn your intestinal flora into a sort of "living pesticide factory"… essentially manufacturing Bt-toxin from within your digestive system on a continuing basis.



BT-TOXIN WHAT IS IT???

Monsanto's genetically modified "Bt corn" has been equipped with a gene from soil bacteria called Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis), which produces the Bt-toxin. It's a pesticide that breaks open the stomach of certain insects and kills them.

Given what little I've read of your thoughts on a variety of rather odd sounding dietary topics, just what do you eat on a daily basis and why?

Thanks!

OFF COURSE.  Common sense for some.

Death is out biggest fear, and electricity our final frontier.
In Europe it is much more common to buy locally grown crops, which stimulates the local economy rather than the big pharma's and their "food" company subsidiaries.
