 The following is a presentation of TFNN. Time to talk about your health. Living a primal lifestyle. You know, we have Tom from Tampa on the phone. Hey, Tom, good morning. It's bright and early now, huh? Hey, thanks. Good time. How are you guys doing? Good. Hey, your new player's outstanding. I'm telling you, man, he's outstanding. It shows the primal edge. I love that stuff. I'd never be without it. I've been on it now three, four months, man. I mean, it's just, I can't get over how good I feel. The primal edge is, you know, people are raving about it. People who are trying it, they know because you can feel it. We'd not be without it. Call now. Toll free at 1-877-927-6648. Internationally at 727-445-1044. Now, your hosts, Niko Dahan and Paige Clark. Welcome to Living a Primal Lifestyle, where we explore a return to a more balanced and natural wild world to recover our natural health and regain our rights and freedoms. Good morning. I'm Niko Dahan. It's a beautiful morning in downtown St. Petersburg. It is exactly 64 degrees and cloudy. Gonna be partly cloudy later on and probably a little sunshine maybe later on in the day. High of about 72. So it's a beautiful day and it's a beautiful week. And the weather's been really nice down here. So come on down and visit us. I'd like to remind you, first of all, to please pick up the health signals newsletter and the services here. So you hit services. You go all the way down the bottom of the page. You'll see the primal edge, our one-shot wonder. All there to make you healthy. There's a nice shot already right there for you. And the health signals newsletter. Please pick that up. And I have a newsletter that's out this morning. And number seven starts out with the deadliest habits you should avoid as you get older. A lot of good information. And in fact, I just got a text message from one of my subscribers that said, great, great newsletter. So thank you very much. So first thing I want to go, page of course is not here folks. She hopefully should be back in the next week or so. I haven't talked to her in the last week. Just that's the way it goes sometimes. But I'm going to give her a call right after the show. She shouts she's doing and she's getting around a little bit better. And if she does, you're going to see her next week or maybe the week after. Hopefully that's the case. I'm tired of being alone here. But thank you for joining us. Now the first article I want to go over is this disclosure. This says BE disclosure and BE means bioengineering. So I guess they didn't want to put that right up front here. And this is the USDA website here for the United States Department of Agriculture. And the United States Secretary of Agriculture, Sunny Perdue announced the National Bioengineering Food Disclosure Standard on December 20th of 2018. The National Bioengineering Food Disclosure Law passed by Congress in July of 2016 directed the USDA to establish this national mandatory standard for disclosing foods that are or may be bioengineered. Now the standard defines bioengineered foods as those that contain detectable genetic material that has been modified through certain lab techniques and cannot be created through conventional breeding or found in nature. Now the inflammation date of this standard is January 1st, 2020 except for small food manufacturers whose date is 2021 January 1st. The mandatory compliance date is January 1 of 2022 and regulated entities may volunteer to comply with this right now if they wanted to. The Agriculture Marketing Service, the AMS, developed a list of bioengineered foods to identify the crops or foods that are available in a bioengineering form throughout the world and for which regulated entities must maintain records. These records will inform regulated entities about whether they must make a bioengineering food disclosure. The standard requires the manufacturers, importers and certain retailers to ensure bioengineering foods are appropriately disclosed. So right now what this is telling me that they're not being disclosed now. So that's probably not good and I think disclosure is where it's at with the food for sure. But you'll see here that this next article, I can find it here, talks about the restaurant business. And a lot of times we see these types of food entering the restaurant business without us even knowing it. So somewhere in the Midwest the restaurant is frying foods with oil made from gene-edited soybeans. That's according to the company making the oil which says it's the first commercial use of the gene-edited food in the U.S. They can't reveal its first customer for competitive reasons but the CEO says the oil is in use and being eaten right now. The Minnesota-based company is hoping the announcement will encourage the food industry interest in the oil which says it has no trans in it as a longer shelf life than other soybean oils. Whether demand builds remains to be seen but the oils transition into the food supplies signals gene-editing potential to alter foods without the controversial of the GMOs or genetically modified organisms. Among other gene-edited crops being explored are mushrooms that don't brown, wheat with more fiber, better producing tomatoes, herbicide-tolerant canola and rice don't absorb soil pollutants as they grow. And that of course means they can put more herbicides on this so they're going to be spraying this with herbicides and pesticides. So all this food that is being genetically engineered they're doing it for a reason of making it easier for them to grow these things and to deal with the pests because remember when you're making a huge field of one thing the pests see that as here's dinner or breakfast or whatever and this is why we have these plagues because of agriculture and in nature we don't normally see this because plants are more diversified they grow with each other and a lot of times they'll be complimented with a food or with a type of plant that is kind of a good pal I have around maybe this other plant that's next to you the insects don't like so they don't go to you either or maybe there's an irritant on that plant that the animals aren't going to come and eat you so there's a lot of things in nature that it does it naturally here we're trying to do it unnaturally because we think we're smarter than nature perhaps but this is all done of course for the grower for the producer not for us being healthier that's the way I see it unlike conventional GMOs which are made by injecting DNA from other organisms gene editing lets scientists alter traits by snipping out or adding specific genes in a lab startups including this company save their crops do not qualify it as GMOs because what they're doing is theoretically be achieved with traditional crossbreeding but it's not being done by traditional crossbreeding traditional crossbreeding is what we've always done this is why the Tulips and Hollander are so great this is why marijuana strains get their potency is because we do this but we're entering a whole new realm and we really don't know when we take something away from a plant or even let's say an animal which is probably the next step that we don't know the consequences down the road because we're not that smart we know this is this the only thing this one little thing does or are there multiple things that we don't know about yet and this is the problem when we start altering something that we're ingesting to sustain life folks this is not the way it should be so when we get back we're going to continue this and I'm going to show you some examples of this also so stick around in the meantime please pick up our health signals newsletter and of course our one shot wonder the criminal edge and I'll be right back you know what's cool taking something

gene editing crops in development do not require special oversight it's partly why companies see this big potential for gene edited crops so that's different than the other types of crops that we see that are GMOs they've been spurred on by the regulatory decisions by this administration they said by giving the many ways gene editing can be done regulators should consider the potential implications of each new crop he cited an example of produced gene editing not to brown the mushrooms he says you designed it to sit around longer are there any problems with that and that's some of the questions they have to answer already most corn and soy grown in the United States are herbicide tolerant GMOs just like last week regulators cleared a huge hurdle for salmon genetically modified to grow faster the fish is the first genetically modified animal approved for human consumption in the United States this was done a couple of years ago in Canada now we've approved this though regulators say GMOs are safe health and environmental worries have persisted and the companies will soon have to disclose when the products have been bioengineered ingredients in them the company says that its oil does not qualify as a GMO the oils made from soybeans with two inactive genes to produce more heart healthy fats and no trans fat the company says the oil also has a longer shelf life of course that's the number one reason I would think which can reduce costs for food makers and resulting in long lasting products and of course more profits this is the incentive that we always have we have to have that more profit for our stockholders now we already know that soybean oil is not a good oil to use it's always been genetically modified now it's going to be genetically engineered bioengineered also or maybe one or the other we don't know but soybean oil is not that great to begin with so I would recommend staying with the animal fats saturated fat and the fish fats the omega-3s staying with really good quality olive oil there's a lot of good oils like avocado oil now just remember that in the oils the ones that are easiest for us to deal with to digest are the animal ones because after all we are animals and the next ones are the plants now the plant oils take an extra step for us to digest them so it's a little bit harder but they're very healthy for them they contain other things that the animal oils don't so we need both of these things so they're working on other gene editing crops that say are faster to develop than conventional GMOs which require regulatory studies so these do not even have the studies up front they say oversight of gene-edited foods could become stricter if the public attitude changes so it's our attitude that has to change first not theirs in other words they're going to put this stuff out there because they think it's okay because the profit is good because it can last longer it's really good for them so they're making the decision ahead of time this is good we don't need oversight but if you pressure us maybe we'll include some maybe we'll have to this is not the way things should be done you should never think of regulation as settled he says views on G-spicing vary too the national organic standards board says food made with gene editing cannot qualify as organic and last year Europeans highest court said gene-editing in food should be subjected to the same rules as conventional GMOs so there you have it now there's another type of engineering that is also going on and that is known as CRISPR and Japanese edit crop rules suggesting gene-edited foods could hit the stores in 2019 an expert panel of health ministry finalized report on creating rules for a geome editing agriculture and marine products on May 18th of this year I guess meaning that could be on the market within months under the rules businesses would be able to sell the GMO-edited proto after registering with the government this will not involve safety screenings for toxicity or carcinogenetic so more stuff is coming now there's another thing here that I wanted to go over let's see the rise of genetically modified foods now the reason I picked this up and this is from the Washington Post because it had some nice charts in it commercials always dealing with commercials no matter where we are so the newest issue of nature has a thoughtful package of articles taking a careful look at the rise of genetically modified crops around the world it's definitely worth a read anybody interested on the subject this chart for instance let's get it up here shows the transgenic crop planting is dominated by just five countries United States, Brazil, Argentina, Canada and India and as it happens there's been a real slowdown over the past five years meanwhile just four crops soybeans, corn, cotton and canola come from nearly all GM crops grown in 2012 and the most popular modifications include herbicide, tolerance and insect resistance for a handful of crops another chart here there's more in the nature issue than just a few charts take a look at the research on GMOs and there's a whole bunch of so what this chart says here apparently that soybeans 81% are biotech and only a 20% margin of these are the normal types of beans that are grown here cotton, 81% of it well of course we don't eat cotton of course there is cotton seed oil which used to be we remember Crisco they replaced the lard and here we have maize which is corn of course and that's about 35% of it biotech and the others conventional when they say conventional I'm not sure are they including GMOs in this because most of the corn in the United States is GMO and canola here is 34% and you can see the rise in this other chart here since 1966 they have this 2012 so the red here is the herbicide intolerance or the tolerance the insect tolerance is this opaque line and the black line is herbicide tolerance and insect resistance so here's some facts for you GMO crops have bred super weeds that's true GM cotton has driven farmers to suicide that's false and trans genes spread to wild crops in Mexico and they say that's unknown well I know for a fact that that's happened here and of course Monsanto has been behind this that if you have some crops that are GMO and say the wind blows and it blows some of the seeds over into your crops now you have the crops from Monsanto and they consider that a violation and if they catch you with those crops even though you didn't get them the wind just did it you're still in violation I'll be back in a few minutes I'd like to remind you please pick up our one shot wonder our primal edge and also the health signal the personal training studio that NICO is the

folks I'm reading from this article on the Washington Post and three British scientists argue that the debate over the use of GMOs in developed countries would be much more productive if it moved beyond the wild claims like the GMO crops will destroy everything or GMO will fix all our agricultural problems it's going to do neither one of those probably genetic engineering is not an essential even useful for all crop improvement but in some cases it helps to improve yields and nutritional value it reduces the risks and costs associated with the overuse of fertilizers pesticides and water see we need to use these herbicides and pesticides and water because our soil is bad and it's getting worse because there are farming practices so instead of improving our soil the way the Amazonians did thousands and thousands of years ago by a method we still don't know but we do have good methods and we need to use those to make sure that they're altering the food which I say is probably not good for us there's another nature's editor pointed out that GMOs haven't delivered yet on many of the wonderful social and environmental benefits that they promised years ago it's partly because so much research has been confined in the private sector gene modification is a nascent technology for which development has moved very quickly to commercialize that has forced most research into the for-profit sector without broader research programs outside the seed industry development will be continued to be profit driven limited the chance for many of the advancement that were promised years ago such as the feeding the planets we're going to feed everybody because of this beautiful thing now there's another thing here that is the basic primer I wanted to kind of go into a little bit and what they're talking about here in California they in 2012 they were talking about this pretty heavily and some interesting facts here and some of the questions how do you genetically modified food well farmers have been selectively breeding crops for 10,000 of years in order to produce desirable genetic traits but so that's not what's at issue here since the 1990s scientists have been able to manipulate the genomes of crops directly this might involve things like taking a few well categorized genes from a different species say a bacteria of some kind and transplanting them into a crop say corn to produce the desired traits this is quite different from traditional plant breeding and that's what's causing all the controversy another question what would why would anyone manipulate genes like that well for a variety of reasons some crops are modified to be resistant to herbicide such as Monsanto's randup ready soybeans so that they're easier to spray the fields with a weed killer yeah you can just broad you know before you go out and take the weeds out that's the way you would normally do that let's see another question so there's no one single type of genetically modified food that's right simply stated that a food is genetically modified doesn't tell you very much genetic modification is a tool that can be used for many purposes in practices they tend to focus their research on efforts of making crops more profitable rather than making foods more nutrition or boosting the yield to solve world hunger another question how prevalent are GMO foods well more than 88 percent of corn and soy planted in the United States is genetically modified most of it ends up in animal feed or ethanol or corn syrup which turns into a lot of these processed foods that we have cotton, sugar, beets, and canola are also commonly genetically modified crops by some estimates 40 to 70 percent of foods in the grocery stores in California contain some kind of GMO ingredient another question are GMO foods safe or health wise well so far there's been very little scientific evidence that they're harmful at this point billions of people around the world have been eating GMO crops for decades and numerous of scientific bodies have included that genetically modified crops pose no health risk other than conventional or any more than conventional crops as the American Association for Advancement of Science puts it in its recent statement the science is quite clear crop improvement by modern molecular techniques of biotechnology is safe sometimes however do not do insist that more research needs to be done before GMO foods can be so definitely considered safe yeah like before we put it into the food in a sense to the AAAS statement 21 researchers argue that the US testing of genetically modified foods is still voluntary and that things like increasing herbicide use which can occur with things like roundup ready crops may have health effects that we don't yet know so they say why not label and let the customers make up their own mind and that's what this is all about it's not that we're going to take these crops out of here which I would like to do but we're talking about just labeling and this has been a fight since 2012 there are some legitimate concerns for instance farmers planting herbicide resistant GM tend to use a limited range of herbicides on their fields which has given rise to a variety of herbicide resistant super weeds that in turn leads to search for more herbicides what critics call a chemical treadmill and this is what happens that's the risk that genetically engineer traits can escape into nature well that's the other thing too doesn't it just because it can go into the next crop next door also means I think that it could blow into the wild and now we have these things affecting our wild plants where the real treasure is and the wild animals whatever we have left so what would California's law actually do so this law would require a subset of genetically modified foods sold in supermarkets to be labeled as such retailers would have to provide extensive documentation for foods that purport to be GMO free farmers and food manufacturers might also have to provide records in some cases there are plenty of loopholes the law would exempt many foods such as meat from animals that are fed GMO crops or fed animals restaurants are also exempt what's more many biotech companies are now experimenting with new techniques such as engineering specific proteins that do not meet the standard definition of genetically modified foods and that's what we were talking about earlier with that gene editing what have past GMO and labeling laws accomplished studies of labeling laws in the Netherlands and China found they did not appear to affect consumer behavior one possible reason is that the labeling laws make GMO foods more expensive to produce after all retailers and manufacturers have to provide extensive documentation to prove food is not genetically modified so according to a paper by the international food policy research institute mandatory label laws are likely to affect the supply of the GMO foods much so this is the thing we're in we're fighting to get at least some kind of labeling on our foods so we can actually make a decision what we're going to be eating or not and it's becoming more and more difficult and as we've seen through these articles that the real reason for this is not our health it's not for that we're going to get the super food it's the profitability of these companies they need more profit you know making a 50% more profit 60% more profit not good enough we need to squeeze every dime out of everybody that's the way it seems to me I'll be right back folks

And welcome back I'm going to touch on this article from Nature talking about transgenic animals in agriculture and animal biotechnology has been practiced in one form or another since the beginning of the investigation of animals. Many of the previously used tools of animal breeding genetics and nutrition have played use of tools genetics and nutrition have played and will continue to play an important role in the selection propagation and management of desirable and economically important characteristics in livestock stock. In the future livestock production will rely even more heavily on existing and emerging biotechnical advances to produce food yet improvements still need to are needed in the product composition and production efficiency especially in growth disease resistance and reproduction genetically modified or transgenic livestock stem cells and other emerging biotechnologies will have important roles in producing more and higher quality food derived from livestock. The production of transgenic animals is one such biotechnological tool a transgenic animal is one that has been integrated has integrated a gene or a D and A sequence which has been transferred by human intervention into the GMO of a cell for the purposes of discussion this is defined as blah blah blah the production of transgenics provides methods to rapidly introduce new and modified genes and DNA sequences into livestock without cross breeding or hybridization it is more precise technique but not fundamentally different from the methods used to produce trans you know the way we do cross breeding now they say it's not a lot different much has been written about this the obvious question is why genetically modify livestock the answer is not so straightforward some of the reasons are to study genetic control of the physiological systems number two to build genetically disease models and improve animal production traits and produce new animal products and they have various different methods for this pro-nuclear injection sperm-mediated DNA transfers embryotic stem cells germ cell transportation nuclear transportation cloning so there's a lot of different methods there are many potential applications of this to develop new and improved strains of livestock practical applications of transgenetic in livestock production include enhanced proficiency and reproduction performance increasing food utilization and grow rates improve carcass composition improve milk production modify the hair or the fiber increasing the disease resistance and I think we have some pictures here of different animals and they want to of course enhance the nutrition human health is directly affected by the necessity of sustainable and secure supply of healthful food and if this is true if we're really concerned about the health of the food why would we skimp on the food we give the animals we're always looking to the food grade for us is different than for animals if we're going to be eating that animal don't we want them to have the best food there is it just makes no sense at all to me they also want to reduce the environmental impact of course the environmental impact is caused by the raising the domestication of animals in the first place when you start corralling things bad thing happens they don't roam like they normally roam so the spirit of the animal is gone they don't have access to the best grasses that they like to eat so they're eating something that you give them and they have to rely on you to make sure and the animal really knows out in the wild what to eat and what to look for and when to eat what it instinctively knows this all these animals and now we we think we know better than nature it's ridiculous we have to stop doing this we have to actually return animals to the wild this is my vision let's get more and more wild animals out there instead of less and less our living situation causes the death of so many wild animals it's ridiculous I heard a horticulturist one time he was explaining how sensitive the ground was and how sensitive animals are that you take a thousand acres of land and you put a road down the middle of it half the animals die just because that road is there because their territory is infringed upon it changes their habits of course we see on the side of the road a lot of road kill and things like that but that's just one thing that happens psychologically we've changed their environment so now it's more reluctant for them to cross a road they're out in the they're exposing themselves unnecessarily where in an open meadow they have the ability to go around that thing or maybe they have different reasons for going out in the meadow there's so many things we don't know about this but we know that our ancient ancestors love the spirit of the animal the spirit of the animal comes from its own decision to make to have what food it wants to seek out that food to seek out the mate to run around to have joy in life I don't care how big the prison is it's still a prison when you lock things up if you lock a human being up it does certain things to it that changes that human being it does the same thing to animals now we've domesticated quite a few animals pets and things like dogs and cats and things like that and horses and there's a lot of abuse going on and that stuff but I'm not talking about that type of thing I'm strictly talking about food because I think some of the domestication of animals that we consider companions is not as bad as it is if you're going after the food we still change them too you know how many breeds of dogs do we have and every year we add to this so we're changing but most of that thing I think is done with just the cross breeding of different breeds or different samples of breeds I guess it is but you know this stuff makes me sick it talks a lot about here this is an exclusive interview and article that goes very deep into this genetically modified food and specifically animals so I'm going to throw this into the next health signals newsletter but it really talks about all the different pitfalls improving production improving the hair and the fiber of the animals pitfalls and risks they talk about in this and they actually come up with some conclusions that the applications of biotech in livestock production are endless so we really have to set up some ground rules and how this is going to be done if we want to keep continuing this and in the end my question is the original domestic animals that we have are they going to be here at all is there a wild version of this animal somewhere we know in pigs there's hogs in cattle is there a wild cattle yeah there's steers things like this but we have a lot of

your retirement marijuana isn't this a I mean this is completely opposite it's funny how history is back in the 60's you know marijuana started being used heavily during the that time when rock and roll was just being born and stuff and where they demonized it so much you're gonna be lazy you're gonna do this you're not gonna be productive in life and it's just turned around so differently a new study published in the spring issue of the Journal of Policy Analysis and Management finds that the passage of medical marijuana laws seems to help reduce pain levels and increase the number of hours worked by older adults three principle findings emerge from this first that the active state medical marijuana laws leads to lower pain and better self assessed health among older adults second that the state marijuana laws lead to increases in older adult labor supply that the effects of medical marijuana laws are the largest among older adults with health conditions that would qualify for legal medical marijuana use under the current laws the results were significant among those who because of a health issue would qualify medical marijuana in their state the researchers found that 4.8 decrease in pain and 6.6% increase in reported good and excellent health they also found that a 7.3 increase in the levels of full-time work among people who qualified for medical marijuana and this is not even talking about the people who use it recreationally without the laws and everything like that because marijuana has been a high output use in America for a long long time among a lot of people and now we actually have probably hundreds of thousands of people who have been smoking it for 50 years or more and we could actually probably do some nice testing on those you know just normal type of testing where we ask questions about some of these people what type of health concerns that they had you've been smoking for 50 years you haven't been smoking cigarettes but you're smoking marijuana and what's the conclusion here so a lot of different conclusions we can come to from these things but I'm seeing more and more people using the CBD more and more people using marijuana in their older age and more and more people being very happy about it too so I think that's probably a good thing thanks for sticking around folks and we'll see if Paige is back next week but if not I'll be here and thanks for sticking around bye bye
