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 evolving, and their introduction has altered and affects all aspects of our well-being, including: Our health and the environment Agriculture Food manufacturing Medical products New applications of existing tools are constantly...
Pesticides and the Crisis in Children’s Health
The role of pesticides as a major factor and prime cause in the downward trajectory of our children’s health has been known for decades.

Why Did the US EPA and IARC Reach Opposite Conclusions on Glyphosate’s Genotoxicity?
One agency concluded glyphosate is not genotoxic, while the other concluded it is. A new peer-reviewed paper explains the reasons for the disagreement.
Childhood Leukemia, the Microbiome, and Glyphosate: A Doctor’s Perspective
