The Grey Area Between Life and Not Alive

From TED talks: “In his lab, Martin Hanczyc makes “protocells,” experimental blobs of chemicals that behave like living cells. His work demonstrates how life might have first occurred on Earth … and perhaps elsewhere too.” His presentation contains this great diagram explaining how science has defined “life”. Martin also describes how in the lab he …

This is HUGE. This gives scientists the capability to make ANY protien. Some of the possibilties include: Making organs from scratch that fit a person’s individual DNA with the “bad” parts replaced with “good” code; creating a new biofuel that is genetically designed to be as efficient and clean as possible… From the BBC: Scientists …

Parabens in Pap Smears May Cause Cell Mutation and Irritation

Femglide is touted as "sperm friendly" and one of the least harmful personal lubricant available. Methlyparaben in Femglide is a know mutagen, causing cells it contacts to mutate. Why that is considered "sperm friendly" evades me. Methylparaben, which is currently banned in the EU is also a skin irritant and is known to cause allergic reaction in humans. That would explain why I felt like crap after the doctor used a half cup on her hand.

Folic Acid Overdose May “Feed” Cancer

Recent studies have suggested that not enough folate in the diet may lead to carcinogenesis (process whereby normal cells are turned into cancerous cells) and too much folic acid may increase the growth of already present cancerous cells. These findings augment the all to familiar adage: "Too much of a good thing is a bad thing". It should come as no suprise that a healthy balance of anything, including folic acid is the best way to enhance the body's functions. An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but 100 apples will certainly make you sick.

Can We Change our Genetic outcome by eating healthy?

Experts say "yes". Eating healthy and including foods that aid the body in maintaining healthy cell structure and blood flow can change your otherwise "predisposed" genetic code. VIDEO

Studies have linked Corn Syrup to DNA damage in humans

Recent studies have linked HMF to DNA damage in humans and it also might be the answer to why bees are dying at an alarming rate. HMF is a chemical that is created in High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) when it is heated above 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Most products on American grocer shelves contain HFCS that has been heated during processing. HMF has been shown to cause DNA damage in humans and to kill bees. Many high volume producing bee farms feed their bees HFCS that can reach high temps in summer sun, releasing HMF. Natural beekeepers or bees that produce honey from pollination do not exhibit signs of HMF poisoning. High Fructose Corn Syrup is easy to avoid if you eat a healthy diet. Avoid the shelves in your grocer and stick to the perimeter of the store where all the refrigerated and fresh items can be found. Fruits, veggies, meats, grains. If it can "keep" on the shelf for over a week, it probably has preservatives and HFCS in it. Evolutionary, we are not designed to handle high volumes of sugar, chemicals or canned foods. Our ancestors would have eaten small amounts every 2-3 hours as they foraged and collected food. The human body is best served by eating small portions every 2-3 hours. The food ingested should be natural and not chemically altered or preserved.
