I had the pleasure to join my colleagues at SOTT.net for a new podcast where we discuss the lies and truths surrounding our diet today, genetically modified foods including the infamous frankenfish, the enviropig, and the importance of organic farming. Don’t miss it!

SOTT.net podcasts return with a discussion of toxic foods. From the hidden truth of Genetically Modified Organisms, gluten, and fats, to the sharing of research that can literally end your physical pain and help you recover your health, this one’s got it all! Heart surgeon and researcher Dr. Gabriela Segura interviews David and Erika Burt, Organic Farmers dedicated to educating the public about food safety and security in Hawaii, and Doug DiPasquale, a trained Chef and Holistic Nutritionist practicing in Toronto, Canada. Together they share their research and professional experience in helping people become aware of the myths about diet and the solutions available to each one of us. After listening to this podcast, whether you suffer from a serious illness or from aches you consider to be normal, you will have the tools you need to feel better than you’ve ever felt in your life!

In this interview, Dr. Symes from DogtorJ.com discusses the latest research on gluten sensitivity, which reveals how everyone might well be gluten sensitive. It seems that only 1/3 of the population is having symptoms at any given moment, but this doesn’t mean that gluten is not damaging the health of the other 2/3!

- through the food livestock eats which can have, among other things, toxic lectins from consumed grains or GMO foods. Livestock can have hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, infections, etc.

- through other problems as well

Let us cover the basic principles of each problem. Read more…
