Eric Hoffman, Biotechnology Policy expert with Friends of the Earth Genetically Engineered Salmon Project in Canada. Eric just came back from an intense 4 day mission that took him through Canada to meet with concerned citizens, Scientists, fishing industry authorities, and a full range of media.

More and more people are trying to understand how GE salmon could be approved by the FDA, when top scientists tell them it is not safe for us to eat, and when these aggressive, ravenous eaters that eat twice the food twice as fast escape to bred with our wild salmon supply, the limited food supply that supports many species of fish could be in jeopardy. The final decision is now in the hands of the White House. Previous actions by the White House have demonstrated support for GE corporations.

Canadian regulators are also under pressure because the GE salmon will be farmed in their country on their coastline 50 steps from the ocean. How it was possible for the US FDA to approve GE salmon without environmental risk studies puts everyone at risk, and endangers our future wild fish supply and all kinds of jobs in the fishing industry.

Other countries refuse to buy genetically modified foods, or foods that have been contaminated shutting down all export sales. Decisions are now being made that could contaminate fish on a global level are being made quickly without the education or approval of the people or required safety studies. Listen to find out more shocking details how you may soon be eating GE fish and not even know it.

Starkie Sowers, VP of Education at Clark's Nutrition Stores in Southern California brings his extensive knowledge of supplements to help all of us better understand the relationship between low Omega 3 blood levels and conditions such as depression, Alzheimer's, and heart disease.

The risk of Omega 3 deficiency is high since only 15% of the population are getting the amount of Omega 3s needed to maintain optimal brain health and reduce the kind of inflammation reactions that speed up disease processes. Omega 3s that come from food sources are always a first choice, but if you want an immediate benefit, Starkie has specific recommendations that help take the guesswork out of shopping for Omega 3 supplements.
