It's possible that ALL our "Heritage" domestic crops and animals were GMO some 6,000 years ago or more...making "farming" worth doing. They can't be de-hyridized back to any wild ancestor and not many can survive without cultivation.

NO food is safe for everyone, not now. not then, nor before then...and probably never will be.

I've eaten the *new* GMO foods for many years. Don't know which are which.
No problems so far...even if store tomatoes do taste like cardboard.

You?  No way to tell.
Probably HAS harmed a few and probably did 6,000 years ago too.

GMO really should be labeled, but unreasoned fear lumps everything together preventing it as a "bottom line" issue...like putting a gas mask on 6+ billion people because 10,000 of them are deathly allergic to a whiff of peanuts.

More off topic stuff .... (Leo I can't get the flying video to work - it must have flown)

This amazed me - I was sure that microwaved foods were harmful - is this a butter/margarine debate - or opal/diamond debate / some commercial interest to bend the reality waves again for us?

I bet if I put this on facebook all 5,000 of my friends would tell me otherwise! They all argue with whatever I write anyway. Ah the joys of mother and grandmotherhood!

Dear Friends

In 1980 I briefly worked with botanist Bargyla Rateaver PhD, a notorious & long-time organic-gardening professor for U.California. At the time Dr. Rateaver occasionally published on dangers to DNA posed by microwave cooking.

As I knew something about nutrition, I wanted to know all about this issue.
I was so fortunate to be able to directly and leisurely view this beloved professor's personal collection of research data on the issue.

And so at that time I quickly learned...
There is no argument that microwave cooking damages cells of many foods.
But what I learned is that all the available reports on the topic which Dr. B had collected concerning "hazards" of microwaved food indicated the "damage" to biological cells was identical to that long reported with conventional cooking methods...
And I learned it's not so easy to discuss the issue.
__________________________
Anyway- re the discovery of "water crystals" -  Such beautiful pictures!
So imaginative. There must be scores of photographers making images of the phenomenon.
But that is apparently not the case.
Who can find any independent verification for the phenomena?
Not I.
What I have found is that this pretty book is a product of Transcendental Meditation interests. As I am told is the case with the film "What the BLEEP Do We Know" which covers similar terrain.

Otoh I absolutely *<3* this one TM film: "David Wants to Fly" - about David Lynch. <http://www.linktv.org/programs/david-wants-to-fly>http://www.linktv.org/programs/david-wants-to-fly Love the meditators at their flying "academy"
Did I notice that all TM flyers seem to be v.young, athletic white males...
very occasionally overseen by older Indian male functionaries? Odd.)

[btw,...another magnitude of meditation can be found in "Crazy Wisdom"

Hi Jane,
For a long time, convenience had made me turn a blind eye to much of =20
what I've read about negative effects of microwave on food.
Then I read "The Hidden Messages in Water' by Masaru Emoto, a =20
scientist who became fascinated by the structures of ice crystals =20
after varying factors were used on water (types of music, words taped =20=

to container, micro-wave, etc.). He did a small, scientific paper =20
about his observations and it that went viral, then was republished =20
for the general public. Just seeing the deformed structure of micro-=20
waved water has made me finally use it rarely. I simply didn't want =20
that sort of ugly chaos in the water of my body.

It also made me rethink the studies done years ago of plants leaning =20
toward or cringing from different types of music, language, etc. It =20
might not have been the plants responding at all, but rather, the =20
water within the plants. Check it out!

Be well,
L=E9na
