TIDBIT #2

USDA Undersecretary of Agriculture Greg Ibach testified before the House Agriculture Subcommittee last month that plants grown with the help of genetically modified organisms and gene editing could be allowed to be certified organic in the future. Many may be unaware that Bayer, following its purchase of Monsanto, immediately began planning its new GMO division at Monsanto's old plant in Missouri, called 'Bayer Cropscience Division. And technology called CRISPR, signifies an entirely new project led by the GMO industry. CRISPR's gene-scrambling technology offers high hopes to saturate the market with GMO mushrooms, potatoes, strawberries, and other foods whose long-term safety has not been tested. The technology allows any scientist to "play God" by scrambling the genes in our food - with NO GMO labels needed. The majority of consumers won't even know if they're eating a CRISPR modified food. USDA Undersecretary of Agriculture Greg Ibach wants to completely change the rules to allow these scientific experiments to be included in organic foods. Without a doubt, if this proposal is ever allowed to move forward, it will open the door to contaminate organic food like nothing we've seen before. healthnutnews.com

umping iron gets your blood flowing. Researchers at the Univ. of Michigan found that people who performed three total-body weight workouts per week for two months lowered their diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number) by an average of 8 points. That's enough to reduce the risk of a stroke by 40%, and the risk of a heart attack by 15%. oprah.com

Most people think that chiropractic is only good for back and neck pain. But chiropractic can do more for a person's wellness than just relieve pain. A recent double-blinded study compared a group of patients to see how spinal adjustments impacted their blood pressure. The researchers found that "specific spinal adjustments affected three measures: blood pressure, pulse rate, and changes in hypertension (high blood pressure) classification only in the active treatment group." If you are one of many people looking to reduce your blood pressure, you may want to add chiropractic care to your exercise and healthy eating program. The combination will get healthier results faster. blog.toyourhealth.com
