Genetically Engineered Animals - Humans. If the Food and Drug Administration approves AquaAdvantage salmon, it could be the first of other genetically modified animal product you eat. According to the evidence, their buff salmon might have higher levels of a cancer promoting hormone IGF-1, more antibiotics, and more of a potentially life-threatening allergen(s).
Factory Farming its human health risks, environmental dangers and cruelty to animals. The more antibiotics our livestock eat, that live in cramped, filthy feedlots teeming with feces, bacteria and deadly microorganisms, the more drug-resistant bacteria become, putting you and your family at risk from deadly "superbugs." Raising fish in crowded, excrement-laden water necessitates the broad use of agrichemicals.

Why have Americans become so fat? Why is there an obesity crisis with our youth? Why do trim immigrants come here and get fat too? Lack of exercise, bad eating habits, fast-food, processed-food, food we buy and consume with very unhealthy ingredients that we are unaware of. Manufacturers have added harmful ingredients to make food and drink taste better and preserve it with a longer shelf-life, such as Artificial sweeteners, hydrogenated, partially-hydrogenated oils, palm oil, high-fructose corn syrup, trans-fats, etc. These are the food and drink topics we will address and update to include links to news releases. It's important to read all the labels of all the food and drink you purchase very carefully, and AVOID all processed-food and fast-food, like the PLAGUE!.

You need to include in your diet, food high in antioxidants to stop and combat the damage done by free radicals.

| Why Bodybuilding at Age 93 is a Great Idea: Charles Eugster at TEDxZurich | |
| Successful aging requires work, diet and exercise. The huge mental and physical potential of the aged remains unexplored. Bodies can now be rebuilt at any age and a new life started. Beauty kings and queens in the 80-year-old category or a beach body at the age of 94 are not impossible. We will all, regardless of age, have to take greater responsibility for our own health in order to confront the immense challenges confronting the human race. | |
