A whopping 96% of Tyson and 43% of Perdue chickens have beenfound to contain the dangerous drug-resistant bacteriaCampylobacter while only 5% Eberle and 13% of Bell and Evanschickens showed signs of the presence of the bacterium.

According to researchers at the Johns Hopkins BloombergSchool of Public Health, this is likely due to the use ofantibiotics in the raising of the chickens. Campylobacter isresponsible for an estimated 2.4 million cases of foodpoisoning a year in the US.

Producers claim that the use of antibiotics makes theirproducts safer, but the truth is the opposite, which hasbeen amply proved by numerous scientific studies that showthat the use of antibiotics in food production fosters thespread of drug-resistant bacteria.

The USDA may approve a genetically-modified strain of ricethat contains human genes. Rice is self pollinating, soit will not cross pollinate with rice plants in nearbyfields, but it will mix with other varieties during storageand handling, meaning that it may soon become the onlystrain of rice available in areas where it is grown. Thishas happened with StarLink corn in Mexico and is alsohappening in agricultural areas of the U.S., meaning thatvery soon, it may be impossible to buy organic,non-genetically modified, rice.

The plants have been modified to express the human glycoprotein lactoferrin and human lysozyme.

In 1968, archeologists announced that analysis of the mummyof the boy king Tut revealed that he was murdered, settingup a theory of high intrigue among the ancient Pharaohs. Butnew studies show that he actually died from complicationsfrom a broken leg, which probably was an accident.

A CT scan on Tut’s 3,300 year-old mummified body shows thathe broke his neck shortly before his death at age 19, whenthe wound became infected. King Tut, whose actual name wasTutankhamun, died in 1343 BC. His tomb, which was discoveredin 1922 by two British archeologists, was still filled withover 5,000 artifacts, many made of gold and precious stones.This was extremely unusual, since grave robbing has longbeen common in Egypt.
