When “Almost the Same” Is Not the Same
How genetically engineered and synthetic biology–derived proteins may quietly shape immune health and gene expression. Modern food and biotechnology are increasingly built on a simple promise: if a protein looks the same on paper, it should behave the same in the body. This assumption underlies many genetically engineered and synthetic biology–derived foods now entering the marketplace, from precision-fermented dairy proteins to lab-produced amino acids and enzymes. But human biology does not...
From Crib to Cloud
The Pediatric Cost of Atmospheric Intervention and Environmental Uncertainty Executive Summary Children are uniquely vulnerable to environmental exposures during pregnancy, infancy, and early childhood. While air pollution and toxic exposures are well-established pediatric health risks, new and poorly regulated atmospheric manipulations raise additional alarms that demand scientific transparency and ethical scrutiny. Key points: The developing fetus and newborn are biologically vulnerable to...
The State of our Children’s Health
Rhetoric, regulatory capture, and the lack of governmental action have created and fueled one of the greatest crimes of the times which is the allowance and acceptance of the chronic poisoning of our children. Although the root causes of this health-crisis-tsunami...

You Asked! We Answered! Do Carbon Filters Eliminate Glyphosate?
Reader Kathryn L. asks whether carbon filters can eliminate glyphosate from her drinking water. Good question! This is what we found out As per the EPA, studies show that glyphosate is effectively removed with activated-carbon methods, as well as chlorine and...
GlyphoWHAT? The Daily Poisoning of Our Children
Our children are consuming a daily dose of poison. Parents are unaware of the great harm befallen our most vulnerable. And for those parents who attempt to thwart the daily dose of poison, children consume it at school.
Reading Scientific Studies: With a Perspective on a Mock GE Study
There has never been a more important time than the present to understand not only genetically engineered organisms, but the research behind their propagation and promotion. The science of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) or genetic engineering (GE) is rapidly...

With a Perspective on a Simulated Study on Genetic Engineering
There has never been a more important time than the present to understand not only genetically engineered organisms, but the research behind their propagation and promotion.
Floating Wetlands: A Possible Solution to Urban Pollution
Floating wetlands are man-made artificial platforms that support the growth of aquatic plants in water that is typically too deep for them. There is an expanding technology that is gaining popularity in urban areas that involves installing multiple floating wetlands...
