No matter where you look, genetically modified foods are getting the thumbs down from around the world. Many European countries have actually outlawed Monsanto's products. Finally, via Dr. Mercola, there is a food guide to how to avoid GMO foods.
The bad news...if you eat out, you are eating GMO food.
Here's the link for the guide:

Radiation from Fukishima Found in Tuna off California Coast
Ninja Xl BlenderThe news this weekend was not good for us sushi lovers! Many of us going gluten free, and watching our intake (or eliminating) red meat, rely on a good sushi dinner and in particular, tuna for the protein intake requirements. I'm certain more information will come out on this, but until then, we have reports from California with the details.
The report:

The recommendation:
Although the amounts found in the tuna are in the "safe" zone, it might be prudent to reduce or eliminate the intake of the large fish found off the coast of Japan until further information is available. The thyroid gland is especially sensitive to radiation. If you believe you are particularly prone to exposure to radiation due to your location (travel to Japan, etc.) you might look into the protection offered from iodine. The CDC has this report on the use: http://www.bt.cdc.gov/radiation/ki.asp

Taking Charge of Your Health - Blood Testing without a Doctor
You do not have to rely on your doctor for blood screening for your overall health. Many people do not have time to schedule an appointment, wait in the doctor's office, then get a lab slip and go to the lab...wait again, just to get their annual blood testing that reveals their overall health. Life Extension Foundation (www.lef.org) provides blood testing at very good rates. For example, the Male or Female Life Extension Panel tests CBC/Chemistry Profile, DHEA-S, Estradios (PSA for men), Homocysteine, C-Reactive Protein, hormones depending on male/female, TSH for thyroid, and Vitamin D. Member prices are $199. Additional tests are available for Coenzyme Q10, Food Safe Allergy tests, heavy metals, as an example.
Why choose tests that aren't covered by insurance? In many instances, insurance will not cover a full panel of testing unless there is "cause." This creates a chicken-egg scenario because you want to know if there is a problem before you get sick. Nip all this in the bud by ordering your own testing, and taking any negative results to your doctor for followup.
