Humans may have other species beat when it comes to doing higher mathematics, but where food choices are involved, wild geese proved to be significantly more intelligent.Consider this report from anti-GMO activist Jeffrey Smith’s important book, Seeds of Deception.An Illinois soybean farmer had been plagued by a neighboring flock of soybean-loving geese which habitually made a feast of his fields, reducing plant growth to almost a stubble.Unwittingly, genetic engineering helped him to solve this problem. One year, he planted part of one field with genetically modified soybeans. When the geese arrived for their usual feast, they completely ignored this portion of the field and ate only the conventional soybeans, leaving a distinct pattern of growth that showed where each type of soybean had been planted.This solved the problem of keeping the geese away, but it’s just like the refined flour that no bugs want to eat. What are these animals, who are obviously smarter than we are in certain…

The Hidden Sugar in Processed Foods — and Why High-Fructose Corn Syrup Raises Red Flags Sugar is everywhere in the modern diet—but not all sugars behave the same in the body. While table sugar (sucrose) is already problematic when consumed in excess, growing research suggests that high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) may pose additional metabolic concerns, especially when it becomes a staple of highly processed foods. HFCS is now found in a large percentage of packaged and ultra-processed products, making overconsumption easy—and often unintentional. Why High-Fructose Corn Syrup Is Different HFCS is a refined sweetener made by converting corn starch into glucose and then into fructose. Unlike glucose, which can be used by nearly every cell in the body, fructose is primarily metabolized by the liver. When intake is high and continuous, this metabolic bottleneck can stress liver function and disrupt normal energy regulation. HFCS and Weight Gain: What Research Suggests Ani…
