He also announces the discovery of a novel pathogenic organism which is associated with GMO-induced [...]]]> http://qbit.cc/dr-mercola-interviews-dr-huber-about-gmo/feed/ 0 http://qbit.cc/researchers-discover-a-shocking-96-percent-decline-in-four-major-bumblebee-species/ http://qbit.cc/researchers-discover-a-shocking-96-percent-decline-in-four-major-bumblebee-species/#comments Fri, 07 Jan 2011 19:59:43 +0000 qbit http://qbit.cc/?p=3370 (NaturalNews) New research published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has found that another vitally important pollinator, the bumblebee, is in serious decline. According to the figures, there has been a shocking 96 percent decline in four major species of the bumblebee, and an up to 87 percent decrease in their [...]]]> http://qbit.cc/researchers-discover-a-shocking-96-percent-decline-in-four-major-bumblebee-species/feed/ 0 http://qbit.cc/groundbreaking-study-shows-roundup-link-to-birth-defects/ http://qbit.cc/groundbreaking-study-shows-roundup-link-to-birth-defects/#comments Thu, 23 Sep 2010 13:59:23 +0000 qbit http://qbit.cc/?p=2958 The authors concluded that the results raise "concerns about the clinical findings from human offspring in populations exposed to Roundup in agricultural fields." Carrasco added, "I suspect the toxicity classification of glyphosate is too low. In some cases this can be a powerful poison."]]> http://qbit.cc/groundbreaking-study-shows-roundup-link-to-birth-defects/feed/ 0 http://qbit.cc/the-future-of-food/ http://qbit.cc/the-future-of-food/#comments Fri, 03 Sep 2010 15:57:05 +0000 qbit http://qbit.cc/?p=2830 ]]> http://qbit.cc/the-future-of-food/feed/ 0 http://qbit.cc/unnatural-selection-genetically-modified-canola-growing-wild-in-north-dakota/ http://qbit.cc/unnatural-selection-genetically-modified-canola-growing-wild-in-north-dakota/#comments Tue, 10 Aug 2010 15:20:11 +0000 qbit http://qbit.cc/?p=2572 There is no amount of money that can fix these problems. ]]> http://qbit.cc/unnatural-selection-genetically-modified-canola-growing-wild-in-north-dakota/feed/ 0 http://qbit.cc/obama-gives-key-agriculture-post-to-big-agri-chem-lobbyist/ http://qbit.cc/obama-gives-key-agriculture-post-to-big-agri-chem-lobbyist/#comments Fri, 02 Apr 2010 18:20:42 +0000 qbit http://qbit.cc/?p=1599 Gary Ruskin |  Green Change |  03.27.2010 Today, President Obama announced that he will recess appoint Islam A.
