GM foods Found Dangerous, Be Social With Animals to fight depression, Greenhouse Gas levels, Big Pharma: World's Greatest Threat

A few interesting things I found from the LoveEarth Network News Service (bookmark and view daily)...

1. Another study showing GM foods dangerous

A $3 million, ten-year trial of genetic modification (GM) on field peas at The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), Australia’s national science research organization, was scrapped last week (November 18, 2005) when the GM pea caused inflammation in the lungs of mice it was fed to....

Current levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are higher than at any time in the past 650,000 years, say researchers who have finished cataloguing air bubbles trapped for millennia inside Antarctic ice. The record, which extends back over the past eight ice ages, shows that today's concentrations of carbon dioxide and methane far outstrip those in the past.

They found that symptoms improved more among this group than among another 15 who swam in the same area - but did not interact with dolphins.

The study is published in the British Medical Journal.

Animals, and especially mammals, can favourably change our social dynamic.

Far more deadly than any terrorist activity, far more deadly than the NAZI threat of World War Two, "Big Pharma," as it is known worldwide, is an entity unto itself, larger, and more powerful, than most nations on Planet Earth - and absolutely murderous in its actions, and intent - it answers to no one. No one regulates it. No one holds it accountable. Certainly not the US FDA. Certainly not Health Canada
