The USDA just released news that they will help with planting of bee friendly plants on private property. They haven’t however banned the chemicals that are destroying the bees. What a mixed message!

We need to ban the toxic chemicals and also plant the plants to help them have abundant food.

Here is the news release from the USDA- http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/wps/portal/nrcs/detail/national/newsroom/releases/?cid=NRCSEPRD405226

Several studies have found a slight increase in Non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas among ag workers, and this is statistically associated with the most common chemicals used, including glyphosate. That doesn’t prove that glyphosate usage caused the lymphoma, but it’s worth considering. Exposure to glyphosate is of course lower among those of us who just consume the treated products. It’s interesting to note that incidence of NHL has been essentially constant over the last 20 years, at about 20/100,00 men and women per year in the U.S. Mantle cell lymphoma is a small part of this total, and studies are even less clear because of its low incidence. Nevertheless, if we’re being exposed to increasing doses of glyphosate, it’s not at this time associated with an increasing rate of NHL.

Thank you for writing this informative blog on weed killers. I am very much against weed killers which then goes right into the gutters & on into streams & rivers. Surely that can’t be good for the fish. I have also felt these weed killers kill our beautiful wild flowers which are so important for the bee and butterfly populations.

I personally think this is a huge issue with our nutrition and why half the time I really don’t want to go out to eat. This was an amazing, well researched piece that I will be sharing with some of my friends. Thank you so much for providing this thorough piece!

Nancy, thank you for keeping me focused on good food, nutritional and health. I have told you this before, you are instrumental in my weight loss regiment and your book. Maybe you could touch some more informational stuff about labeling…about eggs i.e. natural, free range, vegetarian chicken for these eggs what’s market hype and dis-information, and what’s accurate good information. I look at labels for no GMO’s and avoid products that don’t list this. Thank you for being on the front lines in health and nutrition.

For those of us who are passionate about the GMO issue and who have worked hard to raise awareness about it are often looking for the best ways to boycott GMOs. One of the most effective ways to put an end to any product you don’t want to see out there is to simply not support it. Opt out of it! Vote with your dollars. Avoid buying products or supporting any brands that use GMOs. Since there are huge numbers of people and companies against GMOs, there are plenty of options for almost any food product or health care product, so you can still buy something healthy and affordable while still avoiding GMOs…
