It was due to my growing concerns about our country's growing
health problems as well as the erosion of our civil liberties that, in November
of 2002, I published a paper focusing upon both of these issues and spoke about
them on several radio programs. The paper quietly made its way through
Washington, D.C., and then around the world.
The paper detailed the "revolving door" in Washington, D.C., an
apparent turnstile between private industries and the United States government.
Through this invisible door, industry managers pass directly into the very
agencies that govern industry - the government's food, drug, agricultural and
chemical regulatory departments - in order to influence regulations or speed the
approval of their company's products. The paper, "Let Them Eat Anything," showed
this unholy alliance, the conflict of interest that has contributed to a
mounting epidemic of health problems in the United States. (1)
I expected the paper to provoke comments, but I did not expect
it to result in my being contacted by a nutrition expert who had worked in the
USDA. She called to thank me for writing the paper. Incredibly, because light
was the topic of my previous book detailing a personal Near Death Experience and
ongoing, unexplained encounters with light phenomena, in an example of
incomparable synchronicity, the name of the former USDA expert who contacted me
was Luise Light.

Expert links additive to cell
damage
A new health scare erupted over soft drinks last night amid evidence
they may cause serious cell damage. Research from a British university suggests
a common preservative found in drinks such as Fanta and Pepsi Max has the
ability to switch off vital parts of DNA.
The problem - more usually
associated with ageing and alcohol abuse - can eventually lead to cirrhosis of
the liver and degenerative diseases such as Parkinson's.
The findings
could have serious consequences for the hundreds of millions of people worldwide
who consume fizzy drinks. They will also intensify the controversy about food
additives, which have been linked to hyperactivity in children.

To coral reef-driven tourism industries like those of the Cayman Islands,
there could be a greater cost in ignoring climate change than fighting it.
Ranked among the top 10 scuba diving destinations in the world, the reef
system of the western Caribbean territory has lost 50 percent of its hard corals
in the last 10 years in spite of strong environmental laws, scientists
say.
"We are at a very critical time in the history of coral reefs," said Carrie
Manfrino, president of the Central Caribbean Marine Institute on Little Cayman
island.
"It is like working with a sick patient. How well we treat that patient
will determine if that patient survives. We could potentially see the end of
hard coral reefs in our lifetime."
