This week, a pharmaceutical company called Sprout Pharmaceuticals may win approval for the first ‘female Viagra’ drug to boost women’s sexual desire. [1]
Sprout, founded by a husband-and-wife team, once ran Slate Pharmaceuticals, which marketed an implantable testosterone pellet to men with low levels of the hormone. Sprout is facing harsh criticisms due to Slate’s misleading and unsupported statements concerning the benefits of testosterone therapy while downplaying the risks, [...]
The symptoms of chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer are very similar, often leading to a misdiagnosis – a frightening prospect, considering only 3% of people with pancreatic cancer survive 3 years after being diagnosed. Now, it is being reported that a simple urine test could make it easier to catch the deadly disease more quickly.
Nearly 200 urine samples were collected from patients with pancreatic cancer and were compared with around 100 samples taken from individuals with chronic [...]
In the world of Round Up Ready corn and other genetically modified crops, we’re in dire need of another ‘solution.’ Frank Kutka has been working on ‘Organic Ready’ corn for over 15 years as an all-around answer to biotech’s cancer causing crops.
Kutka is a plant breeder who has been attempting to grow corn that naturally resists GM crop contamination through cross-pollination, thus eliminating Monsanto’s prevalently grown GMO corn from infesting organic farmer’s crops.

Instructions for gene drives 'should be classified.' [...]
Scientists and environmentalists are concerned that a new technique for generated “supercharged” genetically modified organisms (GMOs) could be misused and trigger a health emergency or natural disaster.
The “gene drive” technology allows GMOs to spread rapidly in the wild. The fear is that these organisms could fall into the wrong hands or accidentally spark a catastrophe. The technology is being touted as a way to revolutionize medicine and agriculture, and supporters say it could, in [...]

NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft has just recently reached and photographed Pluto. The recent images NASA has received show massive icy mountains bigger than the Alps (check out the video below for an incredible flyover of the icy mountains) and huge pools of water. These are great signs that life might exist on this far off planet.
The incredible photographs indicate that Pluto is covered with a wide smooth surface. According to researchers, the dwarf planet is less than 100 million years o [...]

When they first created these mandates earlier this month, they were only supposed to be in place for a short period of time. But now it looks like the Greeks may be facing a long-term banking crisis.Late last night, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras made a [...]
Want some more proof that Monsanto and other biotech giants are deathly afraid of GMO labeling initiatives passing within the United States? A new bill introduced by Monsanto’s star representative, Mike Pompeo, could soon ban all mandatory GMO labeling in the US.
The worst part? It was just approved by the House Agriculture Committee, which means it’s one step closer to becoming a full-fledged law. The bill is formally known as H.R. 1599, or the ‘Safe and Accurate Food Lab [...]
