In this July 23, 2009 free audio episode, I cover the following topics: an amazing expose on the dangers of genetically modified foods, double-bonded protein, running with low back pain, an update on the Shape21 Fat Loss Challenge and ProstElan for cyclists.
--------------------------------------------------------
Listen to this episode for an explosive exposé by Jeffrey M. Smith, who documents significant health dangers of genetically modified (GM) foods and the intense industry influence and political corruption that allow them on the market. His book, Seeds of Deception: Exposing Industry and Government Lies About the Safety of the Genetically Engineered Foods You're Eating has been hailed as the best book on the topic, and many believe that the revelations in this book can topple an industry. In the talk, he documents how the world’s most powerful Ag biotech companies bluff and mislead critics, and put the health of society at risk. Smith describes how biotech companies rigged research, hid health dangers and pressured government regulators to approve food that even FDA scientists said was unsafe!

Listener Q&A:
Listener Paul asks: "I have a question about Mt. Capra's new double bonded protein. I'm looking to lean up and put on some muscle. A lot of the other protein powders I checked into use some kind of acid treatment and higher heat which I've been told makes the protein dead. How is double bonded protein processed and how much heat is used?"
Listener Janet asks: "Is it ok to run with some lower back pain? What things should I be considering before going ahead? Any help would be appreciated. I am very grateful for your help." In my response to Janet, I reference the website http://www.runwithnopain.com.
