"A 2006 report issued by the united nations stated that the world's livestock generate more greenhouse gases than the entire transportation industry. Henning Steinfeld, et al. Livestocks Long Shadow:Environmental Issues and Options. A report published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the united nations (Rome: FAO, 2006). Available online at http://www.virtualcentre .org/en/library/key pub/longshad/A070lE00.htm. tages and disadvantages of being at the top of the food chain: It accumulates and concentrates many of the nutrients in the environment but also many of the toxins." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"Their decisions, on behalf of the pharmaceutical cartel, are passed on to the united nations General Assembly, and recommended to become binding law for all member countries of the united nations. Codex Alimentarius has been leading a vigorous effort to protect the pharmaceutical business from the increasingly popular and effective, safe, non-patentable, natural health supplements. The process has been quite insidious. Dr. Matthias Rath, an outspoken leader in the natural health freedom movement, states: No one of healthy mind would support a ban on natural health just like that." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Moreover, organizations like the united nations had assumed that many Costa Ricans often exaggerated their ages, so that any finding would be considered invalid. Nevertheless, Rosero-Bixby, the director of the Central American Population Center in San Jose, decided to investigate further. Instead of looking at census data (in which respondents can misreport their age), he used a forgotten but foolproof method of determining how long a population of elders lives." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"Lebanon in 1958, Russian premier Nikita Khrushchev's appearance at the united nations in 1959, Cuban tensions in 1960, the Cuban arms blockade in 1962, and President John Kennedy's assassination in 1963. During these crises, so defined, 42% of the daily price changes were "big" changes, as compared with 20% for other, "normal," time periods. Thus the crisis periods were somewhat, but not dramatically, more likely to be accompanied by big stock price changes. Note that there were only eleven such weeks of "crisis" in the whole sixteen years of Niederhoffer's sample." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.) "Still, foreign governments and united nations food agencies adhered to a long-standing policy of not interfering in the domestic affairs of member nations. Private famine relief agencies did not have the resources to provide assistance on the scale needed. When food and other supplies did arrive, it was too late for many people. Between 1972 and 1974, 600,000 tons of grain came to the Sahel from the United States alone, but the relief came late, was often unpalatable, and was distributed with great difficulty." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"One part of the Hopi prophecy seems to predict World War II; another matches well with the establishment of the United Nations; others detail the death and destruction that the white man would bring, and his desecration of the land. There are also possible allusions to nuclear weapons: "a gourd of ashes" that would fall from the sky, boiling the oceans and burning the land so that nothing would grow for many years. This would be the signal that the final stage was approaching. Man would travel to the moon and build a city in the sky, but then go no farther." - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.)

"For now, the fruits most likely to be found in fruit bowls the world over, based on the United Nations' statistics, are bananas (and plantains), apples, citrus fruits, grapes, mangoes, melons, coconuts and pears. Peaches, plums, dates and pineapples occupy a smaller dish off to the side. The developed world's bowl is bigger, and also full of strawberries. The developing world cradles infinite varieties of underutilized tropical fruits. By discovering fruits, whether in our backyards or abroad, we can reconnect with nature, the realm of the sublime." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Laszlo became affiliated with the Tokyo-based united nations University (UNU), and in 1984, when Suzuki Sakura Mushakoji, Vice-Rector of the UNU, was looking for research affiliates in Central Europe, Laszlo recommended the Institute for Culture. An agreement was reached, finances were secured, and the Institute for Culture began its research on "European Identity." Work was completed in eight countries under the direction of Maria Sagi, who at the time was the Institute's principal researcher." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.)

"At this point, Emmanuel has become a national hero, has met with the secretary-general of the united nations, has won many athletic awards, and has helped thousands of people in his country move from begging to productive careers. The not-so-hidden anger embedded in this type of rebellion goes something like this: "You did this to me. You should've been a better parent and anticipated how the way you treated me would affect me and my weight. If you had been this perfect protective parent I deserve, I wouldn't be this way." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.)

"In 2001, an Expert Consultation meeting arranged by the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the united nations created a now widely accepted definition for probiotics. They define the term probiotic as: live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host. Medically, probiotic is defined as microorganisms that positively affect the health of our body when administered in adequate amounts. A probiotic offers a health benefit to the host. What are these health benefits?" - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"Joel Fuhrman, based on data from the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the united nations.86 Populations with low death rates from the major killer diseases are populations that almost never have overweight members and that consume more than 75 percent of their calories from unrefined plant foods. This is at least ten times more unrefined plant source foods than the average American consumes." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Subjects were asked questions whose answers were numbers between 1 and 100, difficult questions such as the percentage of African nations in the united nations. They were asked first to say whether the answer they would give was above or below the number just produced by the wheel of fortune. Then they were asked to give their answer. The experimenters found that the answer was quite substantially influenced by the random number on the wheel." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"In 2004 researchers told a united nations panel that dietary shortages of crucial vitamins and minerals like zinc and iron may be keeping as many as a third of the world's people from reaching their full potential; as many as one-fifth of the world's population lack enough zinc in their diets, putting children in particular at risk of dwarfism, diarrhea, and serious respiratory infections such as pneumonia. Symptoms of a nutritional deficiency are not necessarily obvious. Associated conditions develop slowly over time and can be very insidious and difficult to identify." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"In 2005 the annual united nations report on world population informed us that, globally, the number of persons aged sixty years or over is expected to almost triple, increasing from 672 million in 2005 to nearly 1.9 billion by 2050." - Peter J.

"In 1962, a commission called Codex Alimentarius (Latin for "food code") was established by the World Health Organization and the united nations Food and Agriculture Organization. Its directive was to develop international food standards to protect consumer health and to facilitate fair trading practices in foods. About half its members, however, are directly or indirectly related to the pharmaceutical industry. The Codex commission now meets every year behind closed doors. Its primary goal is to eliminate natural health supplements from the market." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"At a 2005 Washington conference sponsored by the governments of the United States, Norway, Canada, and Iceland, and assisted by the United Nations' food and agriculture organization, evidence was presented that showed that selenium helps neutralize the effects of mercury acquired from foods. "This very important but little analyzed point helps us to understand how people from the Seychelles Islands can eat fish twelve times per week and show no toxic signs," said William E. M. Lands, a retired professor of biochemistry at the universities of Michigan and Illinois." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"A report published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the united nations (Rome: FAO, 2006). Available online at http://www.virtualcentre .org/en/library/key pub/longshad/A070lE00.htm. tages and disadvantages of being at the top of the food chain: It accumulates and concentrates many of the nutrients in the environment but also many of the toxins. Meat offers a good proof of the proposition that the health-fulness of a food cannot be divorced from the health of the food chain that produced it—that the health of soil, plant, animal, and eater are all connected, for better or worse." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"The nutritional quality has been compared to that of dried whole milk by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the united nations. Quinoa contains more protein than any other grain. Some varieties of quinoa have more than twenty percent protein! And what is unique about the protein in quinoa is that it is complete, containing all essential amino acids, being especially high in the amino acids lysine, methionine, and cystine. By adding it to other grains, those proteins become complete too. It also complements soy, which is lower in methionine and cystine." - David W. Grotto, RD, LDN, 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life! (Get the book.)

"Codex Alimentarius is a subcommittee of the united nations. Codex is mandated to establish guidelines on food trade issues.2 Any country that is part of the World Health Organization (WHO) is subject to the Codex guidelines and sanctions if they digress. Consider what happened to the united nations regarding the "food for oil" scandal. Now, consider that the pharmaceutical companies have vast resources (money and power) worldwide. Codex directives are currently seeking to eliminate all vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and most other supplements as free-trade items." - Brent Hoadley, Ph.D., Too Profitable to Cure (Get the book.)

"The united nations, the U.S. Government Food for Peace Program, major universities and countless other organizations and universities were taking up the battle cry to eradicate world hunger with high-quality protein. I knew most of the projects firsthand, as well as the individuals who organized and directed them. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the united nations exerts considerable influence in developing countries through their agriculture development programs. Two of its staffers6 declared in 1970 that ".. ." - T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D. and Thomas M.

"According to the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a body made up of the world's leading climatologists and other scientists, the predicted level of warming—up to 10°F by the end of this century—will bring on a disaster of biblical proportions: a rise of sea levels by nearly 3 feet; unendurable heat in many parts of the world; a vast increase of vector-borne diseases; raging floods and storms. A change upward of ten degrees may not seem like much until one realizes that lowering it by the same amount would bring on another ice age." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"In 1995 the united nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change called for greenhouse emissions to be cut immediately by 50-70%. But instead the level of emissions has continued to grow rapidly, with most of the increase coming from the developing countries. It is impossible to predict the ultimate cost to individuals and corporations of efforts to reduce emissions or to deal with other global limits to growth." - Brian Fagan, Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Get the book.)

"Another problem we face is that the Codex Alimentarius Commission, an international regulatory body established under united nations auspices in 1963 that has tried for over a decade to make dietary supplements available by prescription only. Codex is working to institute many other things to degrade our health. If you wanted anything more than a miniscule (ineffective) doses an herb or mineral supplement, you would have to get it from an MD. Codex is already doing this in parts of Europe, and the World Trade Organization is trying to make sure it happens soon in the USA." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Congress and the united nations, or in vehicles of culture like television and the Internet—will also obey this apparent law for the positivity ratio tipping point. Now You See It, Now You Don't o Seeing positivity ratios as subject to a tipping point is a powerful idea. It can explain why the effects of positivity are at times so hard to locate. By now, scientists know well that the effects of positivity are subtle, especially in comparison to those of negativity. But what has long vexed me is that even though I know I'm looking for subtle effects, at times I find no effects whatsoever." - Barbara Fredrickson, Positivity: Top-Notch Research Reveals the 3 to 1 Ratio That Will Change Your Life (Get the book.)

"In addition, a report by the united nations (2006) concluded that cattle-rearing generates more global warming greenhouse gases than even transportation. Anyone who has seen the documentary film An Inconvenient Truth is aware of the serious repercussions of this environmental issue. Finally, raw plant food simply tastes betterl Even if it were discovered that raw meat were definitely healthful and better for the ecology, I would remain a vegetarian because of the sheer pleasure of eating fresh raw fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.) "The World Health Organization, the united nations, international banks and the multinational pharmaceutical companies are all working in concert to make this happen. This group has already conspired to outlaw all health claims for products sold on the Internet. Testimonials are not allowed either. For more information, read the aforementioned Medical Mafia and any of Ralph Moss's books exposing the cancer industry, as well as Racketeering in Medicine: The Suppression of Alternatives by James P." - Susan E.

"Food and Agriculture Organization of the united nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) jointly formed the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) in 1963. The intent of the 172 nations originally involved was to create a set of international food standards, guidelines, and codes of practice promoting food safety. Despite their stated focus on "consumer protection," the Codex Commission approved seven of the most toxic chemical compounds known to man for use as pesticides in the production of foods!" - Dr. Edward F.

"In 1978, the united nations adopted a "Health for All, 2000" resolution, setting goals for eradicating infectious disease by the century's end. But the germs didn't co-operate. Apart from at least 29 previously unknown diseases, 20 well-known ones have re-emerged, including malaria, tuberculosis, pneumonia, cholera, yellow fever and dysentery. The germs causing the diseases are rapidly mutating to forms beyond the reach of today's antibiotics. Drugs that once cured malaria are being foiled by the mosquito-borne parasite. Its "changing coat" of mutations baffles scientists." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)
