Myth Buster: Olive Oil is One of the Safest Oils for Frying and Cooking
One of the most common myths perpetrated on the Internet is that while olive oil is healthy, it should not be used for cooking or frying. The belief is that somehow the high heat used in cooking or frying makes olive oil unhealthy. However, this belief is not consistent with historical uses of olive oil in Mediterranean cuisine, nor with a wide body of published research. Olive oil is not only safe for cooking, but it is recommended by scientists and olive oil experts for high temperature frying! The notion that extra virgin olive oil should never be heated or used for cooking is not supported by research.
Support Small-scale Mexican Farmers with Heirloom GMO-Tested Corn Tortilla Chips Fried in Coconut Oil and Shipped to Your Door!
This past year (2024) Mexico tried to ban the import of all U.S. GMO corn into Mexico, to protect their native, heirloom varieties. But because they are part of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), they were overruled and forced to continue importing GMO contaminated corn from the U.S. Fortunately, even before this Mexican trade dispute with the U.S. over GMO corn, there were still plenty of places in Mexico where farmers do NOT use American GMO corn. For the past many years we have been purchasing Mexican corn from a province in Central Mexico that bans GMO corn. They had a poor harvest at the end of 2023, forcing us to switch from our Mexican white corn heirloom variety to a poly blue corn variety that tested clean for GMOs and glyphosate. At the end of 2024 we found a new supplier of heirloom non-GMO corn in Mexico which carries traditional varieties of Mexican corn from small-scale family farmers in Mexico, and after testing their corn, we purchased many tons that should last us through most of 2025, and that corn is now safely in our warehouse in Texas, preceding any tariffs that might be levied against Mexican imported products. This new supplier of Heirloom Mexican corn is a cooperative from Mexico that sources Mexican heritage crops with a commitment to native small-scale family farmers in Mexico, with a commitment to the farmers, flavor, and biodiversity. Their partner farmers cultivate a variety of heirloom corns that have been preserved through generations. They use agricultural systems that prioritize biodiversity, such as the milpa, to nurture these unique crops and the land. When you order these tortilla corn chips, you are not only purchasing the highest quality and finest tasting corn chips available, you are supporting small-scale hard-working Mexican families who live in Mexico who are carrying on their healthy family traditions to produce the highest quality corn possible, as an alternative to the mass-produced GMO corn in the U.S. which is also heavily sprayed with toxic herbicides and pesticides.
Trump Prepares His 2nd War Against the American People by Invoking Emergency Powers to Destroy the Economy through Tariffs
During Donald Trump's first presidency, he invoked the PREP Act to release $trillions to fund one the largest military campaigns in U.S. history, the "War Against the Unseen Enemy" and Operation Warp Speed, to allegedly fight against the corona virus, giving $billions to the pharmaceutical companies to rush untested vaccines and other products into the market which resulted in millions of Americans being killed, injured, and crippled for life. Many small businesses were destroyed as a result, but the economy was temporarily saved from a total collapse with the infusion of $trillions under the CARES Act. Now the American people, primarily Evangelical Zionist Conservative Christians, have returned Trump to power and the President-elect is preparing a new war against the American people as the U.S. economy now stands on the brink of collapse. It was announced earlier today that President-elect Donald Trump is preparing to declare a "National Economic Emergency" to provide legal justification to implement across the board tariffs on all goods imported into the United States. President-elect Trump and his sidekick billionaire Elon Musk have been warning about an economic collapse for months now, heading into the 2024 November elections. Wall Street and others, myself included, did not believe that Trump would be crazy enough to actually do something like this, to willingly and purposefully destroy the U.S. economy, and that it was all campaign rhetoric. On Monday this week (January 6, 2025), a Washington Post article came to the same conclusion, stating that the tariffs would not be across the board and applying to EVERY SINGLE ITEM that is imported into the U.S., but would instead be targeted tariffs in some industries. But Trump was very quick to deny this, calling it "fake news" and that he was, indeed, planning to implement across the board tariffs an ALL GOODS imported into the U.S. Many have speculated as to whether Trump even has the power to implement such broad tariffs that will most certainly collapse the U.S. economy, but with the announcement today that he was preparing to take the same path he took with Operation Warp Speed, by invoking emergency powers, it seems more likely that this is, in fact, going to happen. It also occurs at the same time that Trump is now threatening to use the U.S. military to invade and take over other countries for "national security", which includes Panama and the Panama Canal, Greenland, and even possibly Canada.
How to Make Homemade Lacto-Fermented Foods and Drinks to Repair and Strengthen Your Microbiome During Flu Season
As I recently wrote, now that we are in the midst of the flu season, it is time to adjust our diets and consider certain supplements and vitamins to avoid the medical system, because Big Pharma’s flu products are highly toxic, and their number 1 product is the flu shot, which can injure, cripple, or kill you. In just this past year alone, 2024, over 6,000 cases of adverse effects from the flu shots have been filed with VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System), including 52 deaths, 70 life threatening adverse reactions, 80 permanent disabilities, 285 hospitalizations, and 666 ER visits. The other thing to consider if you live in North America and are now enduring cold, snowy days with very little sunshine, is how to repair and nourish your microbiome with fermented probiotic foods and drinks, so that your body can resist any attacks on your immune system, and keep the doctors away. The over-use of modern-day antibiotic drugs has destroyed most people's microbiomes, and so has the consumption of modern-day agricultural products, especially grains, that are contaminated with the herbicide glyphosate. An article we published in 2014 documents research showing how this herbicide is destroying the health of not only humans, but also cattle and other animals. Because of this research that came out in 2014, we have tested all the foods we sell on our online store, Healthy Traditions, for the presence of glyphosate, and if any foods test positive for it, we do not purchase or sell those foods. Most Americans, therefore, need to take special care to rebuild and manage their gut flora, or "microbiome". During this time, I hired Shannon Stonger, a Mennonite wife and mother living on a small homestead in Central Texas with a college degree in chemistry, to write some articles for us about how to make homemade lacto-fermented foods and drinks to help us repair and build up our microbiome, including recipes. I am highlighting her excellent articles and recipes today, because we need these kinds of nourishing foods in our diet today more than ever, especially during the winter months and "flu season." These articles, some of which are over 10 years old, show what a rich resource Health Impact News is to search for health information, with almost 9,000 articles now published since 2011, and all free of charge with no paywall.
New GMO-Tested Popcorn Popped in Coconut Oil Now Shipping!
Healthy Traditions has just introduced their new line of GMO-Tested and Glyphosate-Tested popcorn popped in Tropical Traditions coconut oil! The popcorn kernels we use are grown on a small family farm in Italy and tested for GMOs and glyphosate before shipping to the U.S. After popping the kernels in coconut oil, they are seasoned with the finest spices available. This popcorn is popped in small batches just before being shipped to you, so you know it is as fresh as possible. We have three varieties: Himalayan Salted, Cinnamon & Sugar, and Hot and Spicy. We don't package this high quality popcorn in plastic, where chemicals can leach. These bags harmlessly decompose anywhere that microbes are present (salt and fresh water, soil, landfills or in a backyard compost). Add this nutritious snack to your holiday menu plans!
New Ancient Grain All-Purpose Flour Blends that are Glyphosate-Tested for Holiday Baking!
Back in September of this year (2024) we announced that my online store, Healthy Traditions, was now offering Ancient Grain and Heirloom Wheat All-Purpose flours, which are tested for the presence of the herbicide glyphosate, and with no other chemicals or additives added that are present in modern wheat flours that fill the shelves of grocery stores in the U.S. Now, two months later, we have come up with two new blends of these Ancient Grain All-Purpose flours; one for baking products, and one for bread recipes where the flour needs to "rise" with yeast or sourdough cultures. Our Ancient Grain All-Purpose Baking Flour is great for flat breads, short breads, crackers, biscuits, brownies, cookies, and more! This flour is a blend of Einkorn, Spelt, and Khorasan Ancient Grain all-purpose flours, which are also available as single grain all-purpose flours. Our Ancient Grain All-Purpose Bread Flour is a special blend of Khorasan, Spelt and Turkey Red Wheat flours. These Ancient and Heirloom grains are known for being great for rising with yeast and sourdough bread recipes, which are also available as single grain all-purpose flours. These Ancient Grain All-Purpose flour blends are available in sizes of 2 lbs., 5 lbs., and 25 lbs. The holiday season can be challenging for those with dietary restrictions, as people tend to allow themselves to "splurge" a bit on sweets and baked goods. If you are preparing traditional holiday sweets and baked goods, at least be sure you are using uncontaminated flours with no chemical additives. These premium, high quality flours are not likely to be found in your local grocery store, even ones that are "organic" or "health food stores."
Restoring Wheat Flour to the Category of “Healthy”: Introducing Ancient Grain All-Purpose Flours Tested for Glyphosate!
Wheat has received a bad rap in modern times, being blamed for the cause of many diseases and illnesses. Many in the alternative health field show their belief in Darwinian biological evolution bias by claiming that wheat was never a plant that was good for human consumption, stating that human ancestors who evolved over millions of years were "hunters and gatherers", and never planted crops. However, even the evidence from archaeology clearly shows that ancient cultures were much more advanced than the evolutionists would have us believe, and were much more than simply "hunters and gatherers." When we read the historical records of the Bible, the most widely distributed collection of writings from antiquity, we read that man's first job as entrusted to him by his Creator, was as an agriculturist to cultivate the earth. For most of human history, until just recently in the "age of technology", grains were considered the "staff of life," and the most consumed food on the planet. So how did grains and food made from them become so unhealthy in modern times? Because most people who cut out wheat from their diet today become much healthier, and that is a fact that cannot be denied. The answer to this mystery lies in how grains are grown in the U.S. today, and then how they are processed after they are harvested and end up in the food chain as processed foods. Today we are introducing to the public own new Ancient Grain All-Purpose flours! For me personally, today marks the culmination of a 10-year journey, starting the day we tested our "organic" flours in 2014 that tested positive for glyphosate, to the sourcing of clean, ancient grains over the years, and now, all-purpose flours that are clean, and genetically purer as heirloom, ancient grains, than anything else you will probably find on the market. Let's reclaim grains as HEALTHY again!
Big Food has Taken Over the USDA National Organic Program – Why I am no Longer Importing Certified Organic Food
Since the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) developed standards for organic foods to be certified as "organic" by the USDA's National Organic Program (NOP) in 2002, the quality of organic food sold in the U.S. has been rapidly declining, as the major food corporations that control most of the nation's food supply have continually applied pressure to the USDA to lower those organic standards so that they could capitalize on consumer demand for "certified organic" food, while still mass producing their food the same way they produce conventional (non-organic) foods. Unfortunately, things have only become worse here in 2024 for the USDA certified organic program, in terms of consolidating power for the industry for Corporate Big Food. When the United States was founded back in the 1700s, about 90% of the population was employed in agriculture. By the time of the Civil War under President Lincoln, that number had fallen to about 50%. Today, just a handful of companies produce our food, with less than 2% of the population employed in agriculture. In short, we are just one disaster away from our entire food chain collapsing. If you are among the tens of millions of people in the U.S. who rely on grocery store chains to purchase your food, and have never considered what you would do if the shelves of those stores went bare, then it is time you change your thinking and buying habits when it comes to food.
Honey is the World’s Healthiest Sweetener but the North American Honey Supply is Contaminated
Honey is one of nature’s most perfect and beneficial foods. The documented research on the incredible health benefits of honey is truly astounding. If you type in the search term “honey” in the National Library of Medicine on the NIH Government website, you will get 18,000 results from peer-reviewed journals. If you search for honey on Health Impact News, you get over 150 results documenting the health benefits of pure honey, such as: "Phenolic Compounds and Enzymatic Activity in Raw Honey Positively Affect Oxidative Stress and Bone Density" "Honey Out-Performs Antibiotics in Fighting Superbugs" "Honey: A Powerful Anti-Cancer Agent" - Honey is the ONLY sweetener on the market that you can purchase that is a complete, whole food, as opposed to granulated sugar which is an extract from either a grass (sugar cane), or from beets (sugar beets). But purchasing real, pure, unadulterated raw honey that is not contaminated with herbicides or pesticides, is another matter altogether. Testing done in 2011 on grocery store honey showed that up to 80% of the honey sold in grocery stores is adulterated and even fake, much of it imported from China illegally. Honey that is produced in the U.S. and Canada is mostly a by-product of professional beekeepers who make their primary income from leasing out their bees to pollinate crops in commercial agriculture. These commercial crops are heavily treated with herbicides and pesticides, and the resulting honey from these bees is just a by-product of these commercial bee operations, and that includes most “local” honeys, which are highly contaminated. Pure raw honey has been proven through numerous studies to be more effective than drugs in treating many diseases, and since honey can be stored indefinitely and tends to improve with age, like fine wines, this is a food that you want in your long-term food storage plans, and you want honey that heals, not honey that is contaminated, or “honey” that is not even real honey at all.
Are Your Grains Tested for Glyphosate? Ancient Khorasan Wheat Glyphosate-Tested Now Available!
There has been a resurgence in interest in ancient grains in recent years, as more and more people begin to realize just how toxic modern wheat products are, with many "gluten intolerance" diseases increasing in modern times. Unfortunately, ancient grains grown in the United States, along with all other grains such as wheat, oats, and barley, are almost all contaminated by modern pesticides and herbicides, even if they are certified organic. We published a report on an investigation I conducted in 2014 by testing both organic and conventional products made from American (both the U.S. and Canada) grains, and we found very little difference between organic and conventional grains in terms of being contaminated with glyphosate, the active ingredient in the world's most popular herbicide, RoundUp, which has been linked to cancer and other diseases. When we began to search for sources for ancient grains, all the ones we found at the time tested positive for glyphosate, which forced us to begin searching for glyphosate-free grains outside the U.S. We found that Italy had the cleanest ancient grains which consistently tested negative for glyphosate, and we found some organic, heirloom corn that tested clean in Central Mexico, where glyphosate was banned. We eventually found a source of Khorasan Wheat from a single farm in Italy, and sold that for a few years. But their harvest in 2023 was not successful, leaving us with very little left in stock from the year before. But we recently just found a farm in Washington State that grew Khorasan in 2023, and samples from their field tested clean for any glyphosate. I proceeded to purchase many tons of this product, and we now have it in stock as a whole grain which you can purchase in bulk, as well as a whole grain flour. Here are some studies published in the peer-reviewed literature on the health benefits of Khorasan Wheat, conducted mainly by researchers in Italy.
Healthy Traditions Offers Up to a 20% Return on a $1000 Investment and Up to a 30% Return for $5000 Investment to Become Resellers of Long-term Storable Food Tested for GMOs and other Toxins
Last month (January, 2024), I announced that my ecommerce store on the Internet, Healthy Traditions, which has existed for over 22 years now, was winding down its Internet-based store sales and concentrating on recruiting resellers of our products in local communities instead. We are seeking a more sustainable marketing strategy that will continue to serve local communities during times when the Internet may be inaccessible, or when the financial sector that allows sales on the Internet changes and starts requiring people to use Digital IDs, such as biometric IDs that require one to provide something like a face scan, palm scan, or eye scan in order to purchase products on the Internet. Because once the financial sector switches over to something like Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), we will no longer be selling anything on the Internet anymore. We have had very many people contact us about becoming resellers, and we have now added some new ones to our Resellers Page. What I want to do in this article is explain the investment opportunities that exist for those who want to become resellers, and how you could potentially build an entire business around your investment, depending upon how much work you want to put into it, as you develop a sustainable, secure food distribution system in your local community outside of the corporate commodity food distribution system currently in place that fills the shelves of your local supermarket, which is anything but sustainable, and will quickly collapse during a local or national emergency situation that disrupts the supply chains. So what we are offering to Resellers today is the following: For an investment of $1000, you can get a return on that $1000 investment of 20%, or you can invest a minimum of $5000, and can see a return of 25% to 30% on that investment.
Healthy Traditions Winding Down E-commerce Store in 2024 – Recruiting Resellers to Carry Their Products in Local Communities
I have been operating an online e-commerce store here in the U.S. for 22 years now, called Healthy Traditions. We were one of the first in the U.S. to start selling food online back then, when Amazon.com was just beginning to sell more than just books. Google was still in its infancy back then, and had not yet moved to their current location in Mountain View, California, and Facebook didn't even exist, as it was still two years away from their initial launch. Many young technology companies did not make it through the dot-com crash that year, but our business soon flourished due to the growing popularity of Virgin Coconut Oil, as we used the technology and the Internet to educate consumers on the true story behind coconut oil and saturated fats, showing how U.S. Government dietary advice was very wrong, and very harmful. In those early days, the technology worked for us, and not the other way around as it is today, where we are now being forced to work for the technology as it seeks to enslave us. We survived the financial crash of 2008, and we also survived the COVID lock downs of 2020, because we were an e-commerce company. We've also survived multiple attempts by the U.S. Government to destroy our business as we grew to levels that threatened the market share held by others, as they used the FDA and the IRS to try to knock us out of business. And while they failed to destroy us, they did knock us down to a size where our business was drastically reduced and was no longer a threat to the market share of big Wall Street and Silicon Valley businesses. I don't see that as a failure, however, but as a success for the American consumer, because now one can walk into virtually any grocery store today and find some brand of coconut oil being sold, something that did not exist prior to starting our e-commerce business back in 2002. Back in those early days, we easily had over 90% of the U.S. dietary coconut oil business, while today that market share is probably well below 1% for us. So while the technology is what allowed this business to grow in the early years, today here in 2024, as we are in the beginning stages of World War 3 and in a national election year, we see the technology as a threat to our business, not knowing if the Internet will even be reliable, or what might happen once the economy and the banks fail, and the Government pushes everyone to some kind of Digital ID that will be required for everyone who buys and sells on the Internet. Therefore, we have been in the process of recruiting distributors and resellers around the U.S. the past couple of years, in anticipation for the day when the Internet is either not reliable or available, and where one will have to comply with digital IDs, where your entire life can be observed and watched through your online activities. So this is a good time for us to extend an invitation to our customers and friends to consider becoming resellers of these products in your own communities. This will provide some food security for you, and also be a potential way to serve your community should the supply chains be disrupted again, as they were in 2020.
The FDA has NOT Banned Trans Fats! Traditional Saturated Fats like Coconut Oil Continue to Shine for Alzheimer’s Disease but are Condemned by U.S. Dietary Advice
It has been widely reported in the Alternative Media this month that the FDA has banned trans fats, and that they will no longer be allowed in foods starting December 22, 2023. Please note: if you believe that the FDA always tells us the truth because they want to protect us, then there is no need for you to read any further. Go on trusting them and their advice for drugs, vaccines, and food. Just make sure your estate is in order, as it has been widely shown that following the FDA's advice leads to shortened lifespans. If, on the other hand, you understand that the FDA is simply the marketing branch for Big Pharma and Big Food, which looks out for THEIR best interests and how to maximize profits, and that it is almost always wise to do the exact OPPOSITE of what the FDA recommends, then read on. I have thoroughly researched this claim, and as far as I can see this (dis)information originates from a single article published on Epoch Times by Mary Gillis. I have searched the FDA website to find the most current news and rulings on this issue of deadly trans fats, and there is nothing on the FDA's website about "banning" trans fats. In fact, they still allowed it in small quantities for edible oils, and the food manufacturers do not have to list them on their labels as long as they are below the "accepted" limits the FDA has determined are allowable for poisons in foods. Trans fats are toxic byproducts produced by hydrogenating polyunsaturated oils, such as vegetable oils derived from soybeans and corn, two subsidized cash crops in the U.S. that were only used to extract oil from after WW II and the development of seed "expeller-pressed" technology. Prior to WW II, these "dietary" oils did not exist in the human food chain. What we had instead were the traditional fats and oils that nourished our ancestors: Saturated Fats. They are found in animal sources, such as lard, tallow, and butter, and also from vegetable sources such as coconut and palm "oil". These are known as the "tropical oils", as in their native environment in the tropical countries they tend to stay liquid at room temperature, but are mostly solid (fats) in northern climates, such as North America and Europe. When the Japanese cut off the shipping lanes from the tropical countries to the U.S. and Europe during WW II, American food processors began hydrogenating polyunsaturated oils like corn and soy to make then mimic saturated fats. Years later, it was determined that the byproducts from these hydrogenated oils were toxic and disease-causing, and many nations started banning them. The rational thing to do would have been for the U.S. Government to reverse their harmful "low-fat" diet advice and only promote polyunsaturated oils as "healthy", and return to the traditional saturated fats that our ancestors grew up consuming. But no, that could never be, as it would take away corporate profits at the expense of having healthier fats and oils benefit Americans' health. It would also remove their main motive to promote cholesterol-lowering drugs, as they need to demonize saturated fats by scaring everyone that if they consume them, they will have high cholesterol that leads to heart disease, the "lipid theory" of heart disease that has been widely debunked in the scientific literature. The Globalists know that traditional saturated fats are healthy: they just don't want YOU to know, because it decreases their profits in Big Pharma and Big Food. However, since the early 1930s it has been known that a diet high in saturated fat is not only NOT unhealthy, but it can actually cure disease.
Wyoming Law Expands Food Freedom Act, Opens Market to Small Egg and Dairy Producers
Yesterday, a Wyoming law went into effect that will further increase food freedom in the state, and potentially alleviate some of the recent price inflation on eggs and dairy. Sen. Tim Salazar and 10 fellow cosponsors introduced Senate Bill 102 (SF102) on Jan. 12. The new law expands the Wyoming Food Freedom Act to allow a “designated agent” to “facilitate sales transactions” in the marketing, transport, storage, or delivery of food and beverage products. Under previous law, producers could only sell directly to consumers. Wyoming was the first state to enact a comprehensive Food Freedom Act back in 2015. The law allows the sale of many foods and food products direct from the producer to the consumer without adhering to onerous state regulatory and licensing requirements. The expansive law even allows poultry farmers with fewer than 1,000 birds to sell chicken and turkey, along with products made from their birds outside of the regulatory system. Constitutionally, food safety falls within the powers reserved to the states and the people. The feds have no authority to enforce food safety laws within the borders of a state. Food freedom laws undermine these federal regulatory schemes. Widespread adoption of food freedom, along with state and local refusal to enforce federal mandates, could make FDA regulations virtually impossible to enforce and nullify them in effect and practice.
Lab-Grown Meat: Is it a Pharmaceutical Product or a Food Product?
Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have just published a study that looked at the environmental impacts of lab-cultured meat, and they have determined that based on current production methods, the global warming potential (GWP) of lab-cultured beef would be approximately 25% greater than conventional beef cows raised on farms. The study also concluded that the "fossil fuel depletion" of lab-cultured beef is "approximately 3 to 17 times greater" than producing boneless beef. This contradicts the reasoning behind those rushing to bring a lab-cultured meat product to market, who are claiming that massive production of lab-grown meat would have a more positive impact on the environment than raising beef cattle. There are currently no lab-cultured meats on the market, because the production costs are still too expensive to scale it for public consumption, and this appears to be the first study conducted to look at the environmental impacts of mass-producing red meat in a laboratory. One of the major problems so far with culturing meat in a laboratory, is that the growth mediums used to culture the meat produce endotoxins, which means pharmaceutical products are needed to reduce these endotoxins and purify the lab-grown "meat." This has led one of the researchers at UC Davis to ask what exactly is being produced in the lab with these cultured meats: "Is it a pharmaceutical product or a food product?"
Eating Lab Grown Chicken Equivalent to Eating Cancer Tumors?
This past November we reported how a new lab-grown chicken product is being developed and could soon be available commercially. The company, Upside Foods, is run by a medical doctor, and they put out a press release last year claiming that the FDA had "cleared" the product. But that was simply a clever marketing campaign, as the FDA does not approve foods, like they do drugs. Unlike other lab-produced meats which are vegetarian and plant based, this product uses cell lines from chickens. Bloomberg did an investigative report on this product this week, and reported that these cell lines are "immortalized" and are basically the same as cancerous tumors. They reported: "Thank the biotech revolution. Under the right conditions, animal cells can be grown in a petri dish, or even at scale in factories full of stainless-steel drums. For decades, companies such as Pfizer Inc. and Johnson & Johnson have cultured large volumes of cells to produce vaccines, monoclonal antibodies and other biotherapeutics. Now the idea is that we might as well eat these cells, too."
Healthy Traditions Adds Bulk Dry Beans to Product Line as a Storable Protein for Food Security
Healthy Traditions, an online store that sells high quality food sourced from small-scale family producers that is tested for the presence of GMOs and the herbicide glyphosate, added bulk dried beans imported from Italy to its product line today. There are four variety of beans available: Borlotti Beans, Cannellini Beans, Black Beans, and Red Kidney Beans. These dried beans are grown on organic Italian family farms without the use of synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. The beans are also tested for pesticides, including glyphosate, the most widely used pesticide on the planet, and the samples came back with no trace found. Beans are a great source of protein that can be stored indefinitely when properly done. The bulk options come packaged in air tight 5 Kg. bags with all of the oxygen removed. These can be stored in a cool, dry, dark place for many, many years.
USDA Grants License for First-ever Vaccine for Bees – Be Careful Where you Source Your Honey & Almonds!
It's becoming more and more obvious that the U.S. Government's answers for almost all health issues now are new vaccines. Dalan Animal Health announced this week that the U.S. Department of Agriculture granted them a conditional license for the first-ever vaccine for bees. “Our vaccine is a breakthrough in protecting honeybees,” Dalan CEO Dr. Annette Kleiser said in a statement, suggesting it might “change how we care for insects, impacting food production on a global scale.” California accounts for almost half of all the US honeybee colonies, due to the high demand of the almond industry. Almond plantations in the state’s central valley provide an estimated 80% of the world’s supply, and require up to 30,000 colonies to be shipped there by truck every year during pollination season. The concentration has a downside, as bees can get poisoned by pesticides or catch infections from other swarms, requiring apiaries to destroy millions of insects rather than sending them back. Honey is one of nature’s most perfect and beneficial foods. The documented research on the incredible health benefits of honey is truly astounding. If you type in the search term “honey” in the National Library of Medicine on the NIH Government website, you will get almost 16,000 results from peer-reviewed medical journals. It is the ONLY sweetener on the market that you can purchase that is a complete, whole food, as opposed to granulated sugar which is an extract from either a grass (sugar cane), or from beets (sugar beets). But even before this license by the USDA to allow beekeepers to vaccinate their bees, almost all of the honey sold in North America has been contaminated with the herbicide glyphosate, from RoundUp. My store, Healthy Traditions, is one of the few places one can purchase raw honey that is harvested in the Chilean Andes Mountains and Rain Forests, and tests clean for pesticides and herbicides.
Amazon’s Whole Foods Moves Closer to the Satanic Merchant Model of Marking and Tracking Every Customer
Earlier this year, Whole Foods rolled out their "Just Walk Out" shopping feature where one can scan a QR code tied into your Amazon.com account upon entering the store, and then skip checkout by again scanning your QR code upon leaving the store. Cameras throughout the store, along with Wifi signals, track everything you do including scanning what products you put into your cart, or take out. This technology is currently being tested at a Whole Foods store in Washington D.C., and one in Los Angeles. QR codes, however, are already old technology, as they can easily be hacked, and they are dependent on a smart device like your cell phone, which is a problem if your battery dies or you lose your phone. So Amazon.com has rolled out what will eventually replace the QR code, which is biometric scanning of your hand through Amazon One. This technology will probably quickly evolve to scanning other body parts such as your face and eyes. The technology to implant a chip into your body somewhere, also already exists.
ALERT! FDA Clears “Chicken” Grown in a Laboratory by Medical Doctor
The FDA has given a green light to laboratory-grown chicken cell lines that were developed by a medical doctor. Reading the headlines and press releases on this action by the FDA, one is led to believe that the FDA has approved this lab-grown "chicken." But the FDA doesn't approve foods. They monitor food safety and labeling, but they do not approve foods. They only approve drugs. So what does this actually mean? In terms of how safe this product is, it means NOTHING. This was a "voluntary," "pre-market consultation" paid for by the company planning to market this product, so that they could use the FDA logo with their product giving the illusion that the FDA has actually approved this product, when in fact they have not. Do we really need a lab-cultured product called "chicken" produced by a medical doctor who has no training in agriculture or nutrition? Who will conduct the studies on how this lab-grown "chicken" will affect human health once people start consuming it? You will, along with the rest of the public who decides to start eating it. The American consumer will become the lab rats in what will basically become the Phase III trials to see how their health will be affected after consuming this product. And who are the investors that are bringing this product to market? Investors include top meat producer Tyson, Bill Gates, Richard Branson, and Elon Musks' brother Kimbal Musk. Now there's a bunch of names we can certainly trust to look out for our health!
