Genetically Modified... Fish[!!!]

A 10-year effort by University of Rhode Island scientist Terry Bradley to develop transgenic rainbow trout with enhanced muscle growth has yielded fish with what have been described as six-pack abs and muscular shoulders.

Food Label Lies

http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/02/25/9-food-label-lies.aspx


The healthiest food often has the least marketing muscle behind it. The Center for Science in the Public Interest recently published a comprehensive report on the subject, a persuasive indictment called 'Food Labeling Chaos' [below].

Here are nine of the most common ways food labels lie...

"Made With Whole Grains"

Unbleached wheat flour is still the main ingredient; whole wheat flour is further down on the list, indicating that the product contains relatively little. One truth -- the presence of whole grains -- masks another; that whole grains make up an insignificant portion of the food.

Ingredients

Even if the first ingredient listed isn’t sugar, the product may contain more sugar than anything else. How is it possible? Just add up all the sugars that go by different names, such as sugar, corn syrup, high-fructose corn syrup and white grape juice concentrate.

Serving Size

There are 2.5 official servings in a 20 ounce soda bottles, meaning that 100 calories per "serving" is really 240 calories per bottle.

Omega 3

The FDA allows certain foods that are rich in two of the omega-3 fats to advertise that they can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, but only if they're also low in saturated fats or other risk factors. Which is why some unhealthy foods use a bit of marketing misdirection: the packaging has the word "omega-3", but nothing specifically about heart health.

"Made With Real Fruit"

Usually the only thing approximating fruit is concentrate (sugar). If you want real fruit, buy real fruit. If you want candy, buy candy.

"0 Trans Fat"

Many reformulated foods are basically just as bad, but they scream one truth: "0 trans fats!" to obscure another: "Still bad for your heart!"

"Free Range Eggs"

This means chickens must be granted the luxury of exactly five minutes of "access" to the outdoors every day. Those eggs you buy may have been raised ethically, with room enough for hens to roam the yard. But there's no guarantee in the "free range" label.

Fiber

The fibers advertised in many foods are mainly "purified powders" called inulin, polydextrose and maltodextrin.

Tastes Like Medicine!

Food makers can't say that their product "helps reduce the risk of heart disease" without FDA approval, so they say that it "helps maintain a healthy heart."

"El Alma de la casa es la cocina y no la televisión" - Roy Littlesun

· "La casa es el primer centro de gobierno y su corazón es la cocina."

"La comida es la principal forma por la cual somos manipulados. Lo más pernicioso ha sido la introducción en nuestra dieta de azúcares, alimentos refinados, foráneos o fuera de temporada."

"La nutrición representa una parte muy pequeña del papel de la comida. La extraordinaria importancia de la comida reside es que nos hace recuperar la memoria de Unidad, nuestra conexión con la Tierra. Por eso nuestra dieta debería incluir diariamente al menos un 50% de grano integral. Es el grano el que posee una mayor memoria, al contener todos los estados de su evolución en si mismo, es fruto y semilla a la vez. Y un grano puede almacenarse más de 10. 000 años, y mantendrá íntegra su memoria."

"La Inquisición apartó a la mujer de la naturaleza bajo amenaza de ser quemada en el fuego, más tarde desvirtuó la alimentación, contaminó el aire y el agua, introdujo electrodomésticos innecesarios y perjudiciales, llenó el espacio de ondas…, es así como debilita nuestra sangre manteniéndonos sumisos a su política en la que el dinero tiene más valor que la vida."

"Hoy LAS GRANDES CORPORACIONES SON LAS HEREDERAS DE LA INQUISICIÓN: el Banco Mundial, el FMI, las farmacéuticas y el sistema sanitario, la industria armamentística, la industria alimentaria, los medios de comunicación… En ellas prima el capital frente a los seres humanos, desplazándonos a simples consumidores productivos. Dos de cada tres personas en el mundo debe malvivir en la pobreza para que el sistema en el que “bienvivimos” sea sostenible. Todos nosotros lo permitimos, reproducimos y alimentamos."

"Fuera de nuestro Sistema Solar las energías del Universo se centran alrededor de las estrellas, que se interconectan unas con otras por los rayos de luz. Nuestro sol es la estrella más cercana a nosotros y con su luz el planeta Tierra recibe las energías del Cielo. Por esta unión de Cielo y Tierra, las plantas crecen y, cuando comemos esas plantas, las estrellas de afuera se convierten en las estrellas internas, nuestras células del cuerpo. Igual que el sol se interconecta con todos los otros soles, nuestro corazón busca la unión con todos los soles internos a través de la luz del sol licuada -la sangre."

"Para sanar debemos comer semillas, grano entero de CUALQUIER CEREAL AL MENOS 1 VEZ AL DÍA cualquier cereal al menos una vez al día, pues el grano guarda la memoria original desde el principio de los tiempos y el recuerdo de quién somos en origen. Los alimentos refinados que tomamos producen olvido y enfermedad en el organismo humano, esto se ve claro ahora que el sistema también manipula la semilla y la vuelve enferma, separada ya de su sabiduría natural…"

"Titus, último maestro de la tradición, murió dejando instrucciones sobre cómo el Maíz Azul debía encontrar un lugar para la purificación y transmitir sus enseñanzas al mundo. Me dejó a cargo de esta misión y, tras siete años de búsqueda, encontré ese lugar en Glastonbury (Avalón), centro energético y espiritual de Inglaterra. Desde allí las enseñanzas del Maíz Azul se transmiten al mundo por aquellos que han recibido estas enseñanzas a través de la Medicina del Corazón Único. Ahora el Círculo Sagrado de la visión Hopi ha llegado a España y se está plantando el Maíz Azul para continuar cumpliendo la Profecía de expandir esta semilla sagrada, que guarda la memoria de miles de años de oraciones a la Madre Tierra."

"La mujer siempre fue la alquimista, la sacerdotisa que tenía en su cocina el laboratorio. Para acabar con la alquimia, la transmutación por el fuego, y dar la prioridad a la reacción, la química, se realizó la caza de brujas que dejó una memoria de gran miedo. Por ese miedo se ha restado importancia al fuego del hogar, al fuego alquímico. Otra forma de manipular el poder de la mujer es mediante la MODA. La mayor fuerza de la mujer, su vientre creador de vida, es una parte corporal que necesita estar caliente, abrigada. Pero la moda impide que eso sea así, exponiendo el vientre incluso al frío del invierno. Estas jóvenes padecerán sin duda problemas de ovarios, útero, infertilidad y cáncer de pecho en el futuro."

Understand Consciousness

· Part One: Thoughts
http://www.naturalnews.com/027613_consciousness_brain_function.html

A lot of the world is fearful right now. If you look around and understand what is going on behind the veils, many would argue that there is every reason to be fearful. But in truth, fear is an energy state and it's a state that attracts more of whatever it is you're wanting to avoid. Actually, many psychologists will tell you that there are only two true emotions: love and fear. And all other emotions fall within one of these two categories.
Gratitude, elation, peace, joy, and acceptance all fall within the energy state of love. Greed, hatred, blame, anger, and guilt all fall within the energy state of fear.
[...]
It's important to know that acceptance is the first step into the consciousness of love from the consciousness of fear. So when you look around and the situation is really ugly, like we're unfortunately seeing far too often today, instead of feeling fear, anger, hate, or blame, simply accept the situation as it is. The words to accept an awful situation are simply, "It is what it is." With your acceptance and those words, you'll move back into a love based energy state, where the best answer and solution will come to you far more readily.
To be clear, to accept a situation doesn't mean to condone it or think it's a great thing. Acceptance is simply used to bring your own consciousness out of a lower consciousness and into higher consciousness, where you'll be able to better see and make more effective decisions about the current situation.

· Part Two: Foods
http://www.naturalnews.com/027621_consciousness_foods.html

As talked about in Part 1, Thoughts, a large part of our consciousness comes from our thoughts and thought patterns. But a large part of our consciousness also comes from what we put inside our bodies. The foods we eat literally affect our consciousness and probably more than most realize.
[...]
The problem with this is that most of the population regularly eats animals. At a minimum, the animals are fearful at the end - when they are murdered. And that murder infuses them with the consciousness of fear, anger, and likely hate.
These days, the animals that people eat are also horribly mistreated. They're fed diets that are totally inappropriate for their biological design. These diets produce disease and toxicity in the physical body, which can directly influence disease and toxicity in the mental and emotional bodies.
Many animals are forced to live in crowded conditions that resemble concentration camps and physical abuse is common. This makes the animals fearful, and it's sad to see a population that largely doesn't think twice about consuming them. It's worse to see a population that doesn't understand they're slowly taking on fear-based consciousness in this manner - or that such consciousness will affect them in ways they likely can't imagine.
Consciousness is a tricky thing. We can't see it; we can't touch it. But we can feel it, and it affects everything in our world. Our consciousness affects our own reality intimately, and our collective consciousness has produced exactly the world we live in.
