Farmers today can raise corn with a built-in pesticide, soybeans that thrive when sprayed with weed killer and squash that resist viruses. Some say they're biotechnological wonders. Critics call them "Frankenfoods."

Should you worry if your food is swimming in the gene pool' Opinions were mixed among a group of experts who spoke at a daylong biotechnology conference for the Association of Food Journalists last October in Puerto Rico. But most agreed that the products should be labeled so the public can decide if they want to use them or not.

A sudden rise in the number of babies born with microcephaly, or underdeveloped brains and skulls, has forced Brazil to warn hopeful mothers to put off their pregnancy plans to avoid the birth defect.

Health authorities are investigating more than 3,000 suspected cases of microcephaly and 38 deaths of infants that occurred in 2015. In 2014, the country saw only 147 cases of microcephaly. In November, Brazil declared a nationwide public health emergency, calling it an "unprecedented situation, unprecedented in world scientific research", to dedicate resources to investigating the causes of the rise.

While the federal government spreads propaganda and fans the flames of flu hysteria over the "Swine Flu," and subsequent flu vaccine, they could be doing more harm than good.

One should give to pause to wonder, why millions possibly even billions are being spent in advertising, to convince us to vaccinate children and family members. The Flu Mist nasal spray version of the vaccine is made with a live attenuated virus, which can spread the flu, even to those who remain unvaccinated.

Merck is reported to have created a fake "peer-reviewed" journal to present favorable data that made its potentially fatal drugs--Fosamax and Vioxx--look good.

Documents uncovered during the Australian class action lawsuit involving 1,000 consumers, against Merck & Co and its Australian subsidiary, Merck Sharpe and Dohme, are shocking even to hardened critics of pharmaceutical industry corrupt practices. Reports are swirling about Merck's underhanded marketing scheme evidently cooked up to mislead doctors into prescribing its potentially fatal drugs--Fosamax (for osteoporosis) and Vioxx (for pain).

Shankar Vedantam of The Washington Post reports "a study published yesterday overturns conventional wisdom about antipsychotic drugs, which cost the United States $10 billion a year."

These drugs-so-called 'atypical' antipsychotics such as Risperdal, Zyprexa, Seroquel, et al, are no more beneficial than the cheap old neuroleptics such as Haldol -- both the old and new drugs cause debilitating side effects and fail to improve the quality of life.

Did you know that as of May 18, 2013, there have been 202 cases of mumps in the US? Where is the media frenzy? The hysteria? The call from the Health Department and outrage over vaccination rates?

here is none. Because the vaccine is failing, the usual "push" is noticeably absent. Here are some direct quotes from University Health Services and/or Health Departments on the mumps outbreaks: (1) In Massachusetts, the students who got the mumps had been vaccinated. (2) In Virginia, the students who got the mumps had been vaccinated. (3) In Maryland, the students who got the mumps had been vaccinated. Do you see a trend here?

The CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) of August 24, 2012 was simply titled "Vaccination Coverage Among Children in Kindergarten - United States, 2011 - 12 School Year".

It is not known why the authors, who were all from the CDC, chose not to mention vaccine exemptions in the title when they knew that they would be discussing them in such great detail up to and including their percentage increase or decease in kindergartens nationwide. The main report consisted of six paragraphs and was followed by a detailed Editorial Note which also consisted of six paragraphs. The Editor's name was not revealed.
