Genetically Engineered “Frankenfish” Is Being Sued - video
Hopefully this is good news. Wonder if members of the power elite class and the politicians who do their bidding are served monstrous food-like concoctions or do they get to savor the real thing?

Nexium: Is the Purple Pill Shutting Your Kidneys Down? - video
Here is a health warning whose time came years ago but thanks to our missing-in-action FDA and Big Pharma, it's apparent that consumers must protect themselves. What I've read about these drugs is that switching to Zantac 150 is helpful for those who actually have acid reflux because it's a different kind of drug than Nexium or Prilosec. But be certain to do your own research and talk to your doctor before proceeding:

2 Hours You May Not Miss or How about a Drawing by Jude Cowell?
Okay, you caught me. It's difficult keeping up with so many blogs so why in the world have them? For one thing, attempting to delete a seldom used blog only causes trouble for the ones that are left for they tend to link to the deleted one and this creates quite a mess. So here is a posting of one of my drawings just to spruce things up around here with content that is actually created by yours truly though perhaps you've viewed it before, here or elsewhere:
Image: Fork'd Way, a pencil drawing by Jude Cowell (c) 2016 - 2060; posted here in honor of the left vs right choice the American people face in the voting booth on November 8, 2016--as if we really have a say in who's (s)elected president. If you wish, visit Stars Over Washington for Political Astrology articles and videos on the 2016 Campaign and beyond.
Above image is on loan from Secret Moon Art but you are cordially invited to check out my new blog which premiered on Christmas Day 2015: Neptune's Silver Screen where you'll find horoscopes, bios, photos, documentaries, movies, and film clips of classic film stars with an astrological emphasis on glamour and love planets Neptune and Venus and where seductress Lilith and goddess star Sirius often sparkle. Popcorn optional!
Update August 12, 2016: ruh-roh! Now there's an even newer blog you're cordially invited to visit called Jude Cowell Astrology for what are probably obvious reasons! jc

Are Ancient Grains Really Better For You? - video
Back in the day, I used to cook and bake with spelt flour because I was told it's more easily digested and, as my family discovered, it made tastier bread. Here's an interesting video on ancient grains such as spelt:

Queen Katherine Parr (1512--1548) - video
As you know, Katherine (aka, Catherine) Parr was the sixth and final wife of Henry VIII and she actually survived him! She also helped raise his children and she was, in my estimation, fortunate to have found her!
The Deal with Fat - video (triglycerides and such)
You know how we've been told for years that fat is bad? Well, now it's supposed to be good! Maybe there are clues to clear up the conundrum hidden within the chemistry of fat:
Annoyingly, I've lost track of it now but last year I read an article that argued that fat causes diabetes not glucose! How's that for a mind scramble? First they tell us one thing, then they tell us another. Like, Coffee is bad! bad! But nowadays coffee is allegedly good for you (says the coffee industry). Or, does caffeinated coffee activate the stress hormone cortisol and lead to obesity? We can be certain that fat metabolism is involved!
