OPC: Texas officials covered up dangerously radioactive tap #water for years - #fracking gas drilling pollution

What do you want to bet that this water contamination results from natural gas drilling? Some of the article comments are in agreement with this idea.

Texas officials charged with protecting the environment and public health have for years made arbitrary subtractions to the measured levels of radiation delivered by water utilities across the state, according to a series of investigative reports out of Houston.

Those subtractions, based on the test results’ margin of error, made all the difference for the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ): without the reduction, demonstrated levels of dangerous radiation would have been in excess of federal limits for years.

This was being done in direct contravention of an order by the US Environmental Protection Agency, which told state regulators in 2000 to stop subtracting the margin of error.

The findings are part of an investigation by Houston CBS affiliate KHOU.

Support the Global Food Security Act - #food #gmo #africa #foods #poverty

Hi-

I just asked my senator to support the Global Food Security Act, and I hope you'll do the same.

One billion people -one in every six - are suffering from hunger, a problem that will only get worse as climate change makes weather less predictable and farming more difficult.

Women and children are often the hardest hit by hunger. In 2009, hunger and malnutrition contributed to the death of more than 3 million children.

I understand that there is some controversy about language in the bill regarding GMO food research. It is clear that more GMO food research is needed, but perhaps the language can be modified in response to the critics, and natural allies will join in supporting the bill that they now oppose.

No one should have to go hungry, and we have the tools to address global food security head on. Can you help me by taking action?

Sugar or Sweetener? Your Body Knows What’s Right


A very interesting post. I think that a treatment of the hazards of glycemic sugars would have rounded it out even better. It should be noted that agave nectar has a demonstrated benefit because it is a low-glycemic sugar. For those who are concerned about the hazards of glycemic sugars, agave nectar provides an interesting low-glycemic alternative, which should not contribute to insulin resistance when used in moderation. Yes, it may increase triglycerides, but one uses significantly less agave nectar, because it is alot sweeter than conventional sugar or corn syrup. Like all sugars, it is crucial to restrict portions. I am eager to discuss this further and to learn more, so please feel free to pass the comments along.
