Talking Fruit: How To Tell If Fruit Is Genetically Modified

 

Talking Fruit

How to de-code the information on those little stickers

While unpacking groceries, you pull out the bag of apples and decide to eat one then and there. You take it over to the sink, wash it off and -- with some effort -- peel off the little sticker. Pausing to look more closely at the sticker you wonder, "What do those numbers mean?"
As much as we may dislike them, the stickers or labels attached to fruit do more than speed up the scanning process at the checkout stand. The PLU code, or price lookup number printed on the sticker, tells you how the fruit was grown.

As reported by Maria Gallagher, in the June 26, 2002 issue of the Philadelphia Inquirer, by reading the PLU code, you can tell if the fruit was genetically modified, organically grown or produced with chemical fertilizers, fungicides, or herbicides.

Here's how it works:

For conventionally grown fruit, (grown with chemicals inputs), the PLU code on the sticker consists of four numbers. Organically grown fruit has a five-numeral PLU prefaced by the number 9. Genetically engineered (GM) fruit has a five-numeral PLU prefaced by the number 8. For example,

A conventionally grown banana would be:

4011

An organic banana would be:

94011

A genetically engineered (GE or GMO) banana would be:

84011

The numeric system was developed by the Produce Electronic Identification Board, an affiliate of the Produce Marketing Association, a Newark, Delaware-based trade group for the produce industry. As of October 2001, the board had assigned more than 1,200 PLUs for individual produce items.

Incidentally, the adhesive used to attach the stickers is considered food-grade, but the stickers themselves aren't edible.

Do you REALLY know what's in your dinner?

Today, 7 out of every 10 items on grocery stores shelves contain ingredients that have been genetically modified. In other words, scientists are using new technology to transfer the genes of one species to another, and these altered foods are in the market stream. And yet many scientists have concerns about the safety -- to people, wildlife and the environment -- of this process. That's why consumers in Asia and Europe are demanding that their food be free of genetically modified ingredients.

To learn more about food safety, GM (genetically modified) foods and what's wrong with them, and what you can do bring about changes:

The Best House Plants to Clean Indoor Air & Provide Oxygen

 

The Best House Plants to Clean Indoor Air & Provide Oxygen

 

.

1. • Plants such as the Bamboo Palm help clean indoor air. 

     House plants do more than just make your room look warm and inviting. They can actually make your home feel different, as they can help clean the air from contaminants such as formaldehyde, xylene, benzene and carbon monoxide that fill many homes. While house plants clean air, they also provide oxygen, with many requiring little care. According to the University of Connecticut, scientists at NASA designed experiments to examine the effects on which houseplants will help clean indoor air.

   Bamboo Palm

   • The Bamboo Palm (Chamaedorea seifrizii) helps remove trichloroethylene from the air. To grow the Bamboo Palm as a house plant, a room with ample sunlight is needed. Bamboo Palms need six hours of sunlight per day to remain healthy, and are temperamental about watering. If the leaves are turning yellow, it may indicate that you are over-watering. Mist Bamboo Palms daily, as they love high humidity. Fertilize with a high-nitrogen fertilizer.

   English Ivy

   • English Ivy (Heeder helix), which helps remove benzene from the air, is a climbing house plant which can grow on a trellis or topiary. English Ivy is an easy house plant to grow, and grows well in a room where the temperatures are 50 degrees F at night and around 70 degrees F during the day. Fertilize the English Ivy every month while it is actively growing, but do not fertilize in the heat of summer or during its winter rest period. The English Ivy has hundreds of cultivars, with leaves varying from less than 1 inch to over 3 inches in length.

   Heart Leaf Philodendron

   • The Heart Leaf Philodendron (Philodendron scan dens 'oxycardium'), which helps remove formaldehyde from the air, is a low-maintenance house plant which is able to live in low light and neglect. It has heart-shaped leaves that range from 2 to 4 inches in length. Some leaves are glossy green while other leaves feel like textured velvet. Grow the Heart Leaf Philodendron in rooms that are around 70 to 75 degrees F.

   Spider Plant

   • The Spider Plant (Chlorophytum Como sum) is a simple houseplant to grow, and helps remove xylene, formaldehyde and carbon monoxide from the air. Most Spider Plants grow in hanging baskets with their spiders hanging over the sides of the pot. The leaves look like long blades of grass, although some varieties have striped leaves of yellow or white. Small white flowers and miniature plant-lets, or spiders, appear on long wiry stems. If you put the plant-lets into a small pot of soil, they will develop roots. The Spider Plant grows well in temperatures of 65 to 75 degrees F during the day and 10 degrees lower at night. Place the pot where the plants receive bright indirect sunlight. If you keep the soil too wet or too dry, Spider Plants are more susceptible to spider mites, scales, aphids and white flies.

   Mother-in-Law's Tongue

   • Mother-in-Law's Tongue (Sansevieria trifasciata 'Laurent'), or "Snake Plant," helps remove formaldehyde from the air. Mother-in-Law's Tongue, which is a member of the century plant family, is almost indestructible and will grow in the most adverse conditions. Its leaves are fleshy and sword-like, with either gray cross bands or yellow bands on the leaves. Depending on the variety chosen, the leaves can grow from 6 inches to 4 feet in length. It prefers to be pot bound and needs little to no fertilizing.

The Best House Plants for Oxygen

 

1. • Some houseplants remove carbon dioxide from the air and replace it with oxygen. house plant isolated image 

     According to a study by NASA and the Associated Landscape Contractors of America, many common houseplants not only add attractiveness to your home, but they purify the air and remove harmful components from the air. Some of these plants require little maintenance and can adapt well to low light. Houseplants are easily found at your local nursery.

   Heartleaf Philodendron

   • The heartleaf philodendron, also known as the sweetheart vine, is a common houseplant. The plant has green heart-shaped leaves and prefers low light. It can be left to trail down from the pot or trained to grow up a trellis or support cage. Allow the soil to completely dry out before each watering. The heartleaf philodendron is a great plant for beginners, as it is tolerant of many conditions and very easy to grow, according to the Plant Oasis website.

   Spider Plant

   • Spider plants, also known as airplane plants, have long, skinny green leaves that have a white stripe going down the center of each leaf. The leaves grow from the center of the plant and fall out around the edge of the pot. These plants prefer to be pot bound with well-drained, moist soil. For good, healthy growth, sit the plant near a window to get some light; however, keep the plant away from direct sunlight. When these plants are purchased, stay away from plants with torn leaves or brown tips.

   Janet Craig

   • Janet Craig, which is also called the green corn plant, is a common houseplant that helps purify the air. It is a bushy plant that has long green leaves. This is a slow-growing plant that requires low to medium light and moist soil. If the plant is exposed to too much light, the leaves will become bleached. Keep the plant away from direct sun, warns the Plant Care Guru website.

   Peace Lily

   • The Peace Lily has long green foliage with white, half-shaped blooms. For best results, keep this plant within 5 to 8 feet from a window. The plant prefers well-drained soil and bright, filtered light. Keep the plant away from any drafts and clean the leaves regularly with a damp cloth. Cleaning the leaves will not only remove dust, but it will remove some pests that tend to gather on the leaves.

   Snake Plant

   • The snake plant, which is also called devil's tongue, has sword-shaped leaves that are green with a variety of patterns on each leaf. The plant does best in bright, indirect sunlight and barely moist soil. For best results, use fertilizer once a month and be careful not to overwater. The snake plant is an air purifier that will remove xylene, toluene and formaldehyde from the atmosphere, according to the Plant Care website.

Cinnamon and Honey

 

Cinnamon and Honey

Sunshine info by da13thsun.

Honey is the only food on the planet that will not spoil or rot. What it will do is what some call 'turning to sugar'. In reality, honey is always honey. However, when left in a cool dark place for a long time it will "crystallize".  When this happens loosen the lid, boil some water and sit the honey container in the hot water, but turn off the heat and let it liquefy naturally. It is then as good as it ever was. Never boil honey or put it in a microwave. This will kill the enzymes in the honey.
Cinnamon and Honey
Bet the drug companies won't like this one getting around. Facts on Honey and Cinnamon:

It is found that a mixture of honey and Cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world. Scientists of today also accept honey as a 'Ram Ban' (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey can be used without side effects for any kind of diseases.
Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, when it is taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm even diabetic patients. Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada, in its issue dated 17 January,1995 has given the following list of diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon, as researched by western scientists:
HEART DISEASES:
Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply it on bread instead of jelly and jam and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack. Also, those who have already had an attack, when they do this process daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart beat. In America and Canada , various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as one ages the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and the veins.
ARTHRITIS:
Arthritis patients may take daily (morning and night) one cup of hot water with two tablespoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. When taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week (out of the 200 people so treated) practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain -- and within a month, most all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis now started walking without pain.
BLADDER INFECTIONS:
Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it. It destroys the germs in the bladder..
CHOLESTEROL:
Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder mixed in 16 ounces of tea water given to a cholesterol patient was found to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within two hours.  As mentioned for arthritic patients, when taken three times a day, any chronic cholesterol is cured. According to information received in the said Journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.
COLDS:
Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for three days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold, and, clear the sinuses.
UPSET STOMACH:

Scientists have found that honey has various vitamins and iron in large amounts. Constant use of Honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles (where DNA is contained) to fight bacterial and viral diseases.
INDIGESTION:
Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken before food is eaten relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals.
INFLUENZA:
A scientist in Spain has proved that honey contains a natural 'Ingredient' which kills the influenza germs and saves the patient from flu.
LONGEVITY:
Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder, when taken regularly, arrests the ravages of old age. Use four teaspoons of honey, one teaspoon of cinnamon powder, and three cups of water and boil to make a tea. Drink 1/4 cup, three to four times a day. It keeps the skin fresh and soft and arrests old age. Life spans increase and even a 100 year old will start performing the chores of a 20-year-old..
RASPY OR SORE THROAT:

When throat has a tickle or is raspy, take one tablespoon of honey and sip until gone.  Repeat every three hours until throat is without symptoms.
