As an…

Genetically engineered wheat contains an enzyme suppressor that, when consumed by humans, could cause permanent liver failure (and death). That’s the warning issued today by molecular biologist Jack Heinemann of the University of Canterbury in Australia.

Heinemann has published an eye-opening report that details this warning and calls for rigorous scientific testing on animals before this crop is ever consumed by humans. The enzyme suppressor in the wheat, he says, might also attack a…

One of the many tense moments in the second presidential debate turned on a new topic in the race: President Barack Obama’s pension account.

Romney later explained that, yes, he understands that his blind trust…
