1. Hmmm...interesting:

North Carolina Republican Calls it Quits with GOP, Joins Democratic Party. Now if everyone else in the country would make the same decision, all would be well.

Can't say I blame him. Just don't understand why more people aren't jumping ship? Because if they did, maybe Trump would slither back under whatever rock he had crawled out from under. I preferred it when he was busy with the Celebrity Apprentice and Miss America. Damn, NBC for canceling. That kept him busy. And easy to ignore. Now he's everwhere - in the book store, on the television, in the newspapers,on the internet, it's getting harder and harder to ignore the idiot.

2. Celiac disease, and, more generally, gluten intolerance, is a growing problem worldwide, but especially in North America and Europe, where an estimated 5% of the population now suffers from it. Symptoms include nausea, diarrhea, skin rashes, macrocytic anemia and depression. It is a multifactorial disease associated with numerous nutritional deficiencies as well as reproductive issues and increased risk to thyroid disease, kidney failure and cancer. Here, we propose that glyphosate, the active ingredient in the herbicide, RoundupĀ®, is the most important causal factor in this epidemic.

Weird. Except I think I had this since I was a child, so not really sure what fish have to do with it.

Glyphosate is th major herbicide since 1975 or so + celiac disase was around before, but they are right in that the weird surge of the disease and others (hello thyroid issues, two of the four doctors I saw in preparation for my surgery had it removed).

Fish factor in as an animal were direct effects on the indestinal bacteria have been observed. That's why they mention it. This has not been shown for mamals (although it has been tested many times, but of course the long term is only just starting). There are horrific cancer rates in workers who are directly exposed to glyphosate, so I am very certain that it will eventually blow up. I avoid since the pregancy and am extremely careful not to expose the little guy, allthough that is not completely possible.

Good to know, thank you...my eyes admittedly glazed over halfway through the abstract, didn't quite make it to the article.

I have noticed a rise in these diseases in the last few years. Cancer has now become as common as a cold -- just about every other person I know either has had it or died of it. As had thyroid disorders -- my mother kept bugging me to get tested, after her's got screwed up. She had Graves Disease for a bit, then took Iodine and went the other direction. Didn't require removal, however.

Was the same for me when I started my diploma thesis, but these days I'm reading and writing those things for a living.

It's always hard to tell. A huge deal with those first world diseases is a longer life and better diagnosis. But yeah, the cancer surges in some areas and the thyroid issues...I don't know. I mean might be, that I could go on until fifty without treatment. So maybe it is the better diagnosis, but it might also be food additives and also maybe the tschernobyl fallout.
