The Crazy Amount Of Trash In Our Oceans

Search crews began immediately looking for pieces of the jet in vast bodies of water such as the Andaman Sea and the South China Sea—and came up empty.

The Food Poisoning That Makes Sex Hurt Prevention

You’ve probably had bad fish before and suffered the digestive consequences. But the ciguatera toxin, an algae-produced substance you can get from eating tropically-sourced fish, delivers a double whammy: first nausea and intestinal trouble, then neurological symptoms that can alter your sense of balance, reality, and touch, as well as cause body aches, depression, anxiety, and painful sex.

The testing also revealed the chips contained genetically engineered ingredients. (GE technology often relies on heavy applications of glyphosate on food crops, and the chemical winds up in the food you eat.) The public advocacy group, whose mission is to harness independent science and agroecological concepts to advocate for sustainable food and ecological systems, found that a quantitative test verified by DNA analysis discovered that 100 percent of the corn in the SunChips came from GMO sources, containing DNA sequences known to be present in insecticide-producing Bt and Roundup Ready corn....
