Comments on documentaries: Food, Inc. & Fresh?
by Suzy Pelican 06 Dec '13

06 Dec '13

SNE and F&NSPEC listserv members: **Apologies for any duplicate messages** I am hoping some of you may be able to point me toward information I think must be out there...but that I haven't been able to find! I've seen both "Food Inc." and "Fresh" - two recently released documentaries about the contemporary U.S. food system, with emphasis on serious problems created by factory farms and other practices common within large-scale agricultural operations. These are powerful and thought-provoking films, and they put forth - visually and orally - some critical issues (health, ethical, environmental to name just a few) for all to consider. That said, I am also interested in viewers who may question some of the perspectives/facts shared in either or both of these films. As I said above, I know the films raise critical issues, but I sense that some of the films' generalities might be overstated. (Admittedly, I may be wrong in this, but I'd like a broader foundation for evaluation than just my own inadequate knowledge base!) Thanks, in advance, for any insights you could share with me and/or any references/websites/etc. you could point me toward.

Fwd: [Nutrition_Reports] New suite of chemicals seen causing disease generations later
by Joanne P. IKEDA 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

*Public release date: 24-Jan-2013* Contact: Michael Skinner skinner(a)wsu.edu 509-335-1524 Washington State University <http://www.wsu.edu> New suite of chemicals seen causing disease generations later Plastic products and jet fuel exposures raising incidences of 'epigenetic transgenerational inheritance' PULLMAN, Wash.—Washington State University researchers have lengthened their list of environmental toxicants that can negatively affect as many as three generations of an exposed animal's offspring. Writing in the online journal *PLOS ONE*, scientists led by molecular biologist Michael Skinner document reproductive disease and obesity in the descendants of rats exposed to the plasticizer bisephenol-A, or BPA, as well DEHP and DBP, plastic compounds known as phthalates. In a separate article in the journal *Reproductive Toxicology*, they report the first observation of cross-generation disease from a widely used hydrocarbon mixture the military refers to as JP8. Both studies are the first of their kind to see obesity stemming from the process of "epigenetic transgenerational inheritance." While the animals are inheriting traits conveyed by their parents' DNA sequences, they are also having epigenetic inheritance with some genes turned on and off. Skinner's lab in the past year has documented these epigenetic effects from a host of environmental toxicants, including plastics, pesticides, fungicide, dioxin and hydrocarbons. The recent *PLOS ONE *study found "significant increases" in disease and abnormalities in the first and third generations of both male and female descendants of animals exposed to plastics. The first generation, whose mother had been directly exposed during gestation, had increased kidney and prostate diseases. The third generation had pubertal abnormalities, testis disease, ovarian disease and obesity. The study also identified nearly 200 epigenetic molecular markers for exposure and transgenerational disease. The markers could lead to the development of a diagnostic tool and new therapies. The *Reproductive Toxicology* study exposed female rats to the hydrocarbon mixture as their fetuses' gonads were developing. The first generation of offspring had increased kidney and prostate abnormalities and ovarian disease. The third generation had increased losses of primordial follicles, the precursors to eggs, polycystic ovarian disease and obesity. The study, said Skinner, "provides additional support for the possibility that environmental toxicants can promote the epigenetic transgenerational inheritance of disease." "Your great-grandmothers exposures during pregnancy may cause disease in you, while you had no exposure," he said. "This is a non-genetic form of inheritance not involving DNA sequence, but environmental impacts on DNA chemical modifications. This is the first set of studies to show the epigenetic transgenerational inheritance of disease such as obesity, which suggests ancestral exposures may be a component of the disease development." http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2013-01/wsu-nso011513.php __._,_.___ Reply via web post<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nutrition_Reports/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJxb2ljZWJmB…> Reply to sender <fivestar@nutritionucanlivewith.com?subject=Re%3A%20New%20suite%20of%20chemicals%20seen%20causing%20disease%20generations%20later> Reply to group <Nutrition_Reports@yahoogroups.com?subject=Re%3A%20New%20suite%20of%20chemicals%20seen%20causing%20disease%20generations%20later> Start a New Topic<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nutrition_Reports/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJmazhhYjBrB…> Messages in this topic<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nutrition_Reports/message/7668;_ylc=X3oDMTM1a…>(1) Recent Activity: Visit Your Group<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Nutrition_Reports;_ylc=X3oDMTJmc2dsOWJ0BF9TAz…> -- Kathrynne Holden "Parkinson's disease: Guidelines for Medical Nutrition Therapy" http://www.nutritionucanlivewith.com/ [image: Yahoo!

Coke Blinks
by Joanne P. IKEDA 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

Once again, Coke has blinked. It famously did so in 1985, when it introduced “new” Coke, replacing its original formula with one it thought would have greater appeal with its audience. It was wrong then. This time it might be right, but it isn’t going to do the world’s best-known brand<http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/02/business/media/best-global-brands-report-…>any good. It’s hurting from decreased domestic sales<http://www.marketwatch.com/story/milk-out-wine-in-plus-8-other-drink-trends…>and smarting from the piles of evidence that soda and other sugar-sweetened beverages are not only our biggest source of calories, but also among our most harmful. So it has struck back with a two-minute video<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zybnaPqzJ6s>whose ostensible message is that too many calories will make you fat (true), that those in Coke are no worse than any others (false), and that we’re all in this together (ridiculous).
