genetically engineered food health risks

We are what we eat. I'm sure you've heard that quote before. When you eat a tomato you eat its DNA. When you eat its DNA it becomes part of you. If the tomato has been genetically altered then you've become genetically altered. Thus the controversy behind genetically altered foods. You cannot change DNA once it becomes a part of you. It is a part of you and it is passed on to future generations. The genetic code has evolved over millions of years at its own pace. When you speed that process up over night, there are serious consequences, like cancer and disease. Which to this date, has no known cure. Cancer is mutated DNA.

Studies have shown that animals that are only fed genetically altered foods, have serious health problems. These foods have little vitamins and minerals because they're grown for size and have a longer shelf life. Studies have also shown, that when wild animals are given the chance, they avoid genetically altered food and only eat natural food.

Healthy living is always more expensive, but it's a worthwhile thing to pursue. You should do it for your self and your children's future. There are always healthy natural alternatives out there. Don't trust multi billion dollar corporations that disregard health risks for money.

Ritalin side effects

Ritalin and similar drugs, have been proven to act like stimulants such as speed. Nora Volkow, director of nuclear medicine at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, N.Y. has done studies that show the drugs cause common side effects such as loss of appetite, weight loss, insomnia, depression, headaches, stomache aches, bed wetting, irritability and dizziness. Most children taking the drug become robotic, lethargic, depressed and withdrawn. In rare cases there is psychological damage such as deep depression, exhaustion suicide, death or even an urge to kill.

Doesn't sound very healthy does it. Many doctors give prescriptions for Ritalin because they are getting benefits from drug companies. There has been no proof of the benefits of Ritalin. Exercise and a healthy diet are usually all that's needed to make the brain function properly.
