Bill Gates Foundation Funds Experimental Insect Repellent
The Bill Gates Foundation has funded yet another mosquito-related venture, with UC Riverside researchers developing an experimental set of new chemicals that aim to inhibit the carbon-dioxide receptors of mosquitoes and flies. The announcement comes after the Bill Gates Foundation has already admitted to funding the development of genetically modified self-sterilizing mosquitoes, and purchasing 500,000 shares of the biotech company Monsanto.
Toxic Genetically Modified Crop Pesticides Found in Unborn Babies
Scientists at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, at the University of Sherbrooke Hospital Centre in Quebec, have come across a startling discovery while testing the blood of pregnant women and their unborn babies. Toxic pesticides which are injected into genetically modified crops, have found their way into the bloodstream of most women tested. Exposure comes through the consumption of meat, milk, and eggs from livestock that have been fed genetically altered corn.
Swiss Researcher Shows Natural Breeding Better than GMOs
A Swiss researcher has developed a new apple that is resistant to disease, appealing to the palate, and easy to grow, all without using genetic modification. According to Natural News, it took Swiss orchardist and researcher Markus Kobelt twenty years of careful research and development to come up with the new apple variety. The RedLove apple is said to be “sweet, tangy and delicious.”
GMO Giant Monsanto Will Soon Be Allowed To Police Itself
Monsanto, enemy of organic farmers and anti-GMO advocates alike, will likely be allowed to conduct its own environmental studies as part of a two-year USDA experiment. But there is no good that can possibly come of an experiment where the company behind nearly every genetically modified crop in our daily diets is allowed to decide whether its products are causing any environmental harm. And Monsanto isn’t the only biotech company that will be permitted to police itself.
New Lawsuit Filed Over GMO Alfalfa
The next skirmish over genetically modified foods is getting underway, pitting a coalition of environmental, consumer and food-safety groups against the federal government. Early this year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture approved unrestricted planting of a type of GM alfalfa engineered by Monsanto. To the average consumer, that might not sound like such a big deal-after all, we’re not rabbits.
Aspartame Exposed – GM Bacteria Used to Create Deadly Sweetener

The USDA has been under fire recently for its admitted assault against nature, after multiple investigations have uncovered its deliberate tampering with
Scientists Create Genetically Modified Chickens to Stop Flu Spread
Following a long line of recent genetically manipulated creations, scientists have developed genetically modified chickens that do not transmit bird flu to other chickens. The chickens, while unable to transmit the disease, still become sick upon becoming infected with the virus.
Vatican Condemns Monsanto Genetically Modified Crops as “New Form of Slavery”

Genetically Modified Orange Juice May be Coming to a Store Near You
Orange juice seems like a very unlikely candidate for genetic modification, but some scientists from the U.S. Department of Agriculture are calling for its creation. If genetically modified (GM) orange juice is approved,
Bill Gates’ Foundation Funded Approval of Genetically Modified Mosquitoes
Bill Gates, who recently bought 500,000 shares of Monsanto stock, is reportedly funding the approval of genetically modified mosquitoes. It seems that not only will genetically modified salmon enter the environment along with unforeseen changes, but a new self-sterilizing mosquito may be joining them.

How is Aspartame Made? 1999 Investigation Finds Aspartame is Made with Genetically Modified Bacteria
As early as 1999, aspartame was exposed as a toxic sweetener that was made through a process that involves genetically modified bacteria. An article by The Independent entitled “World’s top sweetener is made with GM bacteria” revealed that two of the largest health threats –artificial sweeteners and genetically modified organisms — were joining forces.
