I should have never clicked that link, that was a long one...but good. <br /><br />I think that big Agra confuses the issue by saying, "But we GMO'd more vitamins or a plant that needs less water!" If that's all GMO's were about, I'd just shut-up, bit it's not. There is a class of seed known as 'Round-up ready'. <br /><br />This is a GMO grain that you can spray Round-up, or 2,4d, on without killing it. This is highly disturbing on many levels that needs to be the subject of about 20 blog posts.<br /><br />I don't know what to think about Mark Lynas. <br /><br />http://www.geneticliteracyproject.org/2013/01/14/gmos-and-the-mark-lynas-conversion-round-two-roundup/<br /><br />Tim Steelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01611027687223434753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914086676454800973.post-49328886210244230412014-08-30T15:48:04.758-08:002014-08-30T15:48:04.758-08:00I was distressed to read this article

The cyanide is easily removed and cassava is safe to eat, but I fear that some of the cyanide removal processes destroy the RS.<br /><br />There are like a dozen types of cassava, some may have more RS than others. <br /><br />Here's what I would say to try: Buy a bag of tapioca starch, eat 4TBS of it on an empty stomach first thing in the morning, measure your blood glucose at 15 minute intervals for 1-2 hours and see what happens. <br /><br />If your blood sugar stays stable, not deviating by more than 5-10 points, it's definitely a good source of RS. If your blood sugar spike 30+ points, poor source.<br /><br />Sorry, but that's the only way I know. There is a big need for some commercially available RS sources, labeled with their RS content and origin (organic, GMO etc..).<br /><br />If you don't have a BG tester, I don't know of any other way other than sending a sample to a food lab and paying $400 for an RS test.

I've never been one to jump on every bandwagon like removing your fillings, complete grain avoidance, or the whole 'mycotoxin' fear-mongering, but I have to say that certain genetic modifications are a hazard to humanity.<br /><br />That article on elk getting a disease normally confined to livestock makes me wonder about the safety of wild game taken in the vicinity of GMO crops even grass-fed beef.

Since the winter of 2007-2008, millions of insect-eating bats in 25 states and five Canadian provinces have died from this devastating disease. (see map below) The disease is named for the white fungus, Pseudogymnoascus destructans, that infects skin of the muzzle, ears, and wings of hibernating bats. In April 2014, WNS was confirmed in Michigan and Wisconsin."Gemmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18051515271519007652noreply@blogger.com
