"One of the biggest tragedies of human
civilization is the precedents of chemical therapy over nutrition. It is
the substitution of
artificial therapy over nature, of poisons over food, in which we are
feeding people poisons trying to correct the reactions of starvation." -

| Synthetic Biology is a more
extreme form of genetic engineering. Unlike older methods of genetic
engineering, synthetic biology techniques give corporations control over
strands of DNA. This allows synthetic biologists to create sequences that have
never existed before in any organism, and to splice genetic sequences in ways
that have not been available before. |
Michael
Pollan calls for a new definition of food:
"Our national policies
subsidize the least healthful calories.
The "building blocks" of fast
food are soybeans and
corn, used to make
hydrogenated soy oil, the protein and starch in cattle and chicken feed, and
high fructose corn syrup used
in sodas and sweets.
That's what we've been heavily subsidizing,
encouraging farmers to grow more of, and that's what makes fast food so cheap.
A head of broccoli costs more than a fast-food hamburger.
We do
very little to encourage farmers to grow what are called specialty crops, which
is actual food you can eat.
We need a level playing field between
unhealthy and healthy calories."

"There is an attempt to categorize foods, in a legal
sense, as drugs, bringing into the realm of medical practice the drugless
practice of food therapy.
This permits the prosecution of the dietician
for "practicing medicine."
As a matter of fact, the ability to select
such foods as will prevent deficiency disease or
starvation is incumbent upon every living being.
There should be no
interference with any sources of foodstuff information.
The only
reasonable laws are already in effect, those that punish fraud.
The
biggest fraud in connection with foods is going unpunished - the sale of
devitalized cereals that in
all probability causes the US to lead the world in deaths from heart
disease, and aggravates every
degenerative disease." - Royal Lee, How "Organized Medicine" is Fighting
Vitamins
The best way to get vitamins is through food - not
vitamin supplements.
Supplements that deliver vitamins without proper
foundational nutrition may be unable to be utilized.
The vitamins found
in fruit, vegetables and other foods come with thousands of other
phytochemicals
nutrients that are not essential for life but that protect against
cancer,
cardiovascular
disease, Alzheimer'
disease and other chronic ailments.
Carotenoids in carrots and
tomatoes, isothiocyanates in broccoli and cabbage, and flavonoids in
cocoa and red wine are just
a few examples.
The combined effect of all these
vitamins and phytochemicals seems
to have much greater power than one nutrient taken alone.
Lycopene -
the carotenoid that gives tomatoes their red hue - has been associated with a
lower risk for prostate
cancer.
Research suggests that taking lycopene in supplement form
does not confer the same benefit as eating tomatoes or tomato products, such as
pasta sauce and ketchup, that preserve some of the tomatos biochemical
integrity.
Flavonoid
glycosides and cannabinoids from the pollen of Cannabis
sativa
Chemical investigation of the pollen grain collected from
male plants of Cannabis sativa L. resulted in the isolation for the first time
of two flavonol glycosides from the methanol extract, and the identification of
16 cannabinoids in the hexane extract.
The two glycosides were
identified as kaempferol 3-O-sophoroside and quercetin 3-O-sophoroside by
spectroscopic methods including high-field two-dimensional NMR experiments.
The characterisation of each cannabinoid was performed by GC-FID and
GC-MS analyses and by comparison with both available reference cannabinoids and
reported data.
The identified cannabinoids were
Δ9tetrahydrocannabiorcol, cannabidivarin, cannabicitran,
Δ9tetrahydrocannabivarin, cannabicyclol, cannabidiol,
cannabichromene, Δ9tetrahydrocannabinol, cannabigerol,
cannabinol, dihydrocannabinol, cannabielsoin, 6a, 7,
10a-trihydroxytetrahydrocannabinol, 9, 10-epoxycannabitriol,
10-O-ethylcannabitriol, and 7, 8-dehydro-10-O-ethylcannabitriol.

FDA establishes acceptable levels of "defects"
for a range of food products.
The list of
allowable defects include "insect filth," "rodent filth" (both hair and excreta
pellets), "mold," "insects," "mammalian excreta," "rot," "insects and larvae"
(which is to say, maggots), "insects and mites," "insects and insect eggs,"
"drosophila fly," "sand and grit," "parasites," "mildew" and "foreign matter" (which
includes "objectionable" items like "sticks, stones, burlap bagging, cigartte
butts, etc.").
Tomato juice may average "10 or more fly eggs per 100
grams or five or more fly eggs and one or more maggots."
Tomato paste
and other pizza sauces are
allowed a denser infestation - 30 or more fly eggs per 100 grams or 15 or more
fly eggs and one or more maggots per 100 grams.

Former FDA Commissioner
David A. Kessler discovered that the combination of salt, sugar and fat in
foods triggers a chemical change in people's brains that makes them crave more
processed foods containing that same combination.
Dr. David A. Kessler
sees a parallel between the food industry and the tobacco industry - the food
industry manipulates the salt-sugar-fat combination to
induce a
neurological response just as the tobacco industry manipulates the nicotine
delivery systems.
The Bliss Point is the amount of an ingredient such as
salt, sugar or fat which optimizes deliciousness (in the formulation of food
products).
Pioneering work on the Bliss Point was carried out by market
researcher and psychophysicist Howard Moskowitz.
The Bliss Point for
salt, sugar, or fat falls within a range a conditioned range.
The human
body has evolved to favor foods delivering tastes in this range.
The
brain responds with a "reward" in the form of a jolt of
endorphins.
Combinations of sugar, fat, and salt act synergistically.
In processed food product optimization, the goal of the manufacturer is
to maximize the effect of these three ingredients to the Bliss
Point.
1998 National Institutes of Health
declared obesity a disease, and the US Surgeon General, David Satcher
pronounces obesity a “national epidemic.”

Switching to organic foods
provides children "dramatic and immediate" protection from pesticides that are
widely used on a variety of crops, according to a study by a team of scientists
some from the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention.
Concentrations of two
organophosphate pesticides
- malathion and
chlorpyrifos - declined
substantially in the bodies of elementary school age children during a five day
period when organic foods were substituted for conventional foods.
The
findings suggest that children are are exposed to
organophosphate chemicals
mainly through 'conventional' food.
Organophosphate make up about 50% of the
killing agents in chemical pesticides.
Organophosphate pesticides
(OPPs), like some nerve agents, inhibit this neuromuscular enzyme, which is
broadly essential for normal function in insects, but also in humans and many
other animals.

The
long-chain fatty acids found in canola have been found to destroy the
sphingomyelin
(sphingophospholipids) surrounding nerve cells in the brain, in some cases
leading to a degenerative brain condition remarkably similar to mad cow disease
(bovine spongiform encephalopathy); in advanced cases the brain tissue develops
a Swiss-cheese-like appearance,
full of holes.
Illnesses and conditions that have been associated
with canola oil consumption include loss of vision (retinal capillaries are
very sensitive and easily damaged), and a wide range of neurological
disorders.
The high temperatures used in canola refining will damage
many of the essential fatty
acids, which are much more susceptible to damage by heat than saturated
fats.
Heat converts many of unsaturated double bonds to a "trans"
configuration.
While high-quality essential fatty acids are required
for human health, in their damaged or rancid forms they become harmful.
Additional problems with canola oil include the presence of minute, but
potentially dangerous, amounts of thioglycosides, which have thyrotoxic
effects.
To reduce the concentration of these compounds requires
processing with alkalinizing agents plus high temperatures; unfortunately, the
high temperatures used in processing have other undesirable effects, the most
serious of which is the conversion of unsaturated fats to a trans fat form.
Rapeseed has been selectively bred and genetically engineered in an
attempt to reduce the toxic elements and processing methods were developed to
further reduce the concentration of undesirable compounds.
Prior to its
entry into the "health" food market, it was known as rapeseed oil, but savvy
marketing professionals knew that the health food market, heavily dominated by
young, college-educated women, would not purchase a repulsive-sounding product
called rapeseed oil.
The name of the selectively bred variety was
changed to canola (as in "Canadian oil"; it has been
heavily promoted by
Canadian government and agricultural organizations); the name rolls off the
tongue with a mellifluous sound.
Rapeseed oil, the third-largest source
of vegetable oil in the world, comes from rapeseed (Brassica napus) a
bright-yellow flowering member of the family Brassicaceae.
Rapeseed oil
contains 50% erucic acid.
Erucic acid is broken down into shorter-chain
fatty acids in the human liver by the long-chain acyl CoA dehydrogenase
enzyme.
Erucic acid has a toxic effect on the heart at high enough
doses.
Publication of animal studies with erucic acid through the 1970s
led to governments worldwide moving away from oils with high levels of erucic
acid.
Tolerance levels
for human exposure to erucic acid have been established based on the animal
studies.
In 2003, Food Standards Australia set a provisional
tolerable daily intake (PTDI) for an average adult of about 500 mg/day of
erucic acid, extrapolated based on "the level that is associated with increased
myocardial lipidosis in nursing pigs.
There is a 120-fold safety margin
between this level and the level that is associated with increased myocardial
lipidosis in nursing pigs.
An individual consuming foods fried in canola
has the potential to approach the PTDI, in particularly if the level of erucic
acid in the processed canola oil exceeds 2% of the total fatty
acids.
Trans fats are forged when
vegetable oils undergo a chemical process known as hydrogenation.
The
classical example of a hydrogenation is the addition of hydrogen on unsaturated
bonds between carbon atoms, converting alkenes to alkanes.
Numerous applications are found
in the pharmaceutical and petrochemical industries.
All reactions
between organic compounds and hydrogen require metal catalysts. With rare
exception, no reaction below 480 °C occurs between hydrogen and organic
compounds in the absence of metal catalysts.
"Trans fats, a
manufactured byproduct of the partial hydrogenation of any vegetable oil,
sabotage cell membranes, inhibiting cells from performing their intended
functions. Cells all over the body cannot perform the exquisite and delicate
work they were designed to do once partially hydrogenated oil is absorbed." -
Judith Shaw
Glutamate is just one of many
amino acids used
by the body and linked into
chains of
protein in the body.
However some
amino acids are free to
float around by themselves as well as being found
linked into proteins because they
serve vital functions - some are
neurotransmitters which carry
nerve cell impulses throughout the body.
Amino acid neurotransmitters
are chemical messengers carrying news from nerve cell to nerve cell.
Some amino acid
neurotransmitters like glutamate trigger nerve cells to fire, others like
taurine and gamma amino butyric acid tell those firing nerve cells to cease
firing.
It is a delicate, important balance.
Observers are
finding out just what happens when that balance tips.
In patients who
suffer a stroke, for example,
an excess of glutamate in the brain causes the nerve cells to die from
overstimulation.
Glutamate blocking drugs are being used to prevent
some of this damage.
Cannabis is a glutamate blocking
plant.
The ability of
Cannabis sativa to promote eating has been documented for many centuries by its
users to promote strong cravings for, and an intensification of the sensory and
hedonic properties of food.
These effects are now known to result from
the actions of cannabinoid molecules at specific cannabinoid receptor sites
within the brain, and to reflect the physiological role of their natural
ligands, the endocannabinoids, in the control of appetite.
Recent
developments in the biochemistry and pharmacology of endocannabinoid systems
have generated convincing evidence from animal models for a normal role of
endocannabinoids in the control of eating motivation. |
Hunger arouses sensory
perception, eventually leading to an increase in food intake, but the
underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood.
We found that
cannabinoid type-1 receptors promote food
intake in fasted mice by increasing odor detection.
CB1
receptors were abundantly expressed on axon terminals of centrifugal cortical
glutamatergic neurons that project
to inhibitory granule cells of the main olfactory bulb (MOB).
Local
pharmacological and genetic manipulations revealed that endocannabinoids and
exogenous cannabinoids increased odor detection and food intake in fasted mice
by decreasing excitatory drive from olfactory cortex areas to the MOB.
Consistently, cannabinoid agonists dampened in vivo optogenetically
stimulated excitatory transmission in the same circuit.
Our data
indicate that cortical feedback projections to the MOB crucially regulate food
intake via CB1 receptor signaling, linking the feeling of hunger to
stronger odor processing.
Thus, CB1 receptor-dependent
control of cortical feedback projections in olfactory circuits couples internal
states to perception and behavior. |
