A Vegan Diet (Hugely) Helpful Against Cancer

Dear Kathy,

THANK YOU! When I was diagnosed and treated for breast cancer at the age of 38 I had no idea at the time that what was on my plate and in my glass could possibly make me sick. I stumbled on a terrific book that made the diet connection for me and when I discussed it with the chief of oncology -that was it! I have not eaten dairy in over 12 years and eat only very limited amounts of minimally processed, hormone free meat. (Rural China has the lowest breast cancer rates in the world - there's no dairy in their diet.)

I look forward to reading all the comments but first wanted to give you a HUGE thank you! This former breast cancer patient (over 12 years ago) wanted to lend my support to all those that are speaking the truth, burning the pink ribbons and telling us the truth - we can prevent breast cancer.

Best health always and best wishes for a safe and happy new year.

Prop 37 Defeated: California Voters Reject Mandatory GMO-Labeling

How does one "grow" GMO high fructose corn syrup**?

After cancer at age 38 - changed what's on my plate and as best I can, I purchase food for our family that is labeled USDA Organic* or NON GMO Project Verified. (Actually thought I was eating healthy.) Now, I vote with my wallet.

To those that don't want GMO labels - don't you find it strange that China labels GMO foods? (BTW - rural China has the lowest breast cancer rates in the world). Meanwhile, America and her children have never been fatter, sicker or malnourished, we're addicted to highly processed, fake, franken-food and beverages and we can't seem to figure out why.

Hmm... do you think Congress could eat the "typical" highly processed, fake, franken-food for a week? Every meal! Every Day! How many of those freebie lobbyist-hosted dinners have a bowl of GMO corn chips with a side of GMO high fructose corn syrup ketchup for dipping?

*USDA Organic: U.S. Law does not allow the use of genetically engineered ingredients or seed in products labeled as organic. Heard the USDA has awesome organic produce in their commissary.

** To "grow" high fructose corn syrup at home - you'll need a PhD in chemistry, a white lab coat and a clean room.

A Corporation Owns My Genes — and Yours (...and it ain't cheap, ethical or moral)

A Corporation Owns My Genes — and Yours

This is a terrific article on the upcoming Supreme Court case that will hear whether one company has the right to own our genes and along with it - breast cancer research, all the diagnostic profits and a monopoly on OUR genes.

Best health to everyone in the coming New Year!

Salmonella Poisoning From Peanuts Killed Jeff Almer's Mother After She Beat Cancer

Dear Mr. Almer,

Thank you for sharing your story and so very sorry for your loss. I had breast cancer over 12 years ago and at the time had no idea about America's highly processed, commonly recalled, contaminated, chemically banned, imported, genetically engineered, factory, franken farmed, antibiotic, steroid, and arsenic feed, food supply.

How quickly many of the commenters forget about other recent deadly recalls:

Half a billion eggs
36 million pounds of turkey
One million pounds of ground beef
Cantaloupes

Had a friend end up in the hospital for 24 hours and was sent home with "the flu." A week later there was a recall in the state he was visiting and the sausage he had eaten was recalled. Wonder how many more thousands are sickened and the deadly food connection is not made?

It's so strange, America (and her children) have never been fatter or sicker and we can't seem to figure out why.

Best health always to you and your family,

Dozens of repeat offenders in fish mislabeling - Boston Globe

According to the Boston Globe article, New round of DNA tests finds dozens of repeat offenders in fish mislabeling, and "imported fish...makes up about 91 percent of the seafood Americans consume."

Yikes!  So, when you're eating at a restaurant, you are really dining on blind faith and possibly banned chemicals and antibiotics.

*Imported Fish - Could your seafood contain chemicals?

Thankful to live in the Northeast where we have access to fresh, locally caught seafood.  I have not purchased "imported" seafood for years and understand that the price of cod might go up a dollar or two in the winter depending how how many storms we experience.

*Way to go Alabama for being one of the few states that tests imported seafood for the banned chemicals, antibiotics, etc.

This fish was caught and released.
