Got Corn Allergies? The USDA has just deregulated yet another toxic GMO corn - Bayer-Monsanto's MON 95275 - that produces two insecticidal proteins and a double-stranded RNA transcript from an inverted repeat sequence designed to match the western corn rootworm. The corn is registered with the EPA as a pesticide because that's exactly what it is: a pesticide. The insecticides are in the corn and can't be washed off. To make matters worse, it's genetically engineered to tolerate spraying with multiple toxic herbicides, potentially up to five. These endocrine-disrupting, carcinogenic herbicides are absorbed into the corn and also can't be washed off.

This corn will be used for ethanol, conventional animal feed, and put into conventional processed foods that use corn, like Coca-Cola and Kellogg's Corn Flakes.

Products made with toxic GMO corn belong in the pesticide aisle, not on grocery stores' food shelves. If you have allergies to conventional corn products, now you know why.

Lack Of Sleep Can Make You Sick.
Lack of sleep can affect your immune system. Studies show that people who don't get quality sleep or enough sleep are more likely to get sick after being exposed to a virus, such as the common cold. Lack of sleep can also affect how fast you recover if you do get sick.
Infection-fighting antibodies and cells are reduced during periods when you don't get enough sleep. So, your body needs sleep to fight infectious diseases. Long-term lack of sleep also increases your risk of obesity, diabetes, and heart and blood vessel (cardiovascular) disease.
Make sure you get 7-9 hours of sleep every night to keep your immune system strong.

Yes, this is real.

In February 2026 Florida officials announced that the state Department of Health had tested 8 popular sandwich breads for glyphosate, the active ingredient in many w**d killers. Six of the eight came back positive.

The results, in parts per billion:

Sara Lee Honey Wheat: 191
Nature's Own Butter Bread: 190
Wonder Bread Classic White: 173
Nature's Own Perfectly Crafted White: 132
Dave's Killer Bread White Done Right: 12
Dave's Killer Bread 21 Whole Grain: 10
Sara Lee Artesano White: none detected
Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse Hearty White: none detected

Glyphosate is the most widely used w**d killer in United States crop farming. It is sprayed on wheat fields, and some farmers also spray it on wheat shortly before harvest to speed up ripening. That is how it can end up in a loaf of bread even though no bakery adds it.

The World Health Organization's cancer research agency, IARC, classified glyphosate in 2015 as "probably carcinogenic to humans." The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency disagrees and says glyphosate is "not likely to be carcinogenic to humans."

To be fair: every result was far below the amount the EPA allows on wheat grain, which is 30 parts per million, or 30,000 parts per billion. The highest bread tested was more than 150 times below that. There is no separate EPA number for finished bread. Bimbo Bakeries, which makes Sara Lee, said glyphosate "is a commonly used herbicide in agriculture and not added during the baking of Sara Lee bread." A bread industry group, the American Bakers Association, said bread products remain safe. Flowers Foods, which makes Nature's Own, Wonder and Dave's Killer Bread, and Pepperidge Farm did not respond to news outlets' requests for comment at the time. The state did not name the lab that ran the tests or say how many samples of each bread were tested, and PolitiFact reported the state did not cite a study showing harm at these levels. A toxicologist quoted by PolitiFact said these are "not particularly high or dangerous levels of glyphosate."

What the test does show is which loaves had the w**d killer in them and which did not. If you would rather not have it in your bread, the two that tested clean were Sara Lee Artesano and Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse.

Sugar Can Increase Your Chances of Depression
Eating sugar and carbs can give you a temporary mood boost—it triggers your body to release the feel-good hormone serotonin—but overloading your system with sugar seems to have the reverse effect. Researchers from Baylor College of Medicine found a correlation between sugar consumption and the annual rate of depression in six countries.

Myth: Drink Orange Juice when you are sick. Though it tastes yummy and has lots of Vit C, it has 22g of sugar per 8oz glass. Sugar depresses the immune system for up to 5 hours after consumption; thereby, making it harder for you to fight your illness. Take your Vit C in supplement form and stick to herbal teas and water. You will be on the mend in no time.

A fascinating fact: All healing and repair and growth of body tissue happens in the physiologic relaxation response - meaning when you sleep or are in a waking state of calm. The implication is that stress, anxiety, fear, judgment will powerfully subvert the healing of the body. So the best medical strategies or diets, if done from a place of stress, are dramatically less effective.
