You may know microgreens as the delicate, colorful garnish on your overpriced and undersized meal at an upscale restaurant. Yes, they’re visually appealing but aren’t they pointless decoration? Some aficionados have claimed superfood status for these tiny edible greens produced from vegetable, herb or other plants.  New science says microgreens aren’t just cuter lettuces – they may be more nutritious.

 

Researchers from the University of Maryland and the USDA conducted the first analysis of the nutrient levels in microgreens.  They concluded that in general these babies have more vitamins and other nutrients than their fully mature counterparts. In a study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry scientists analyzed the amount of vitamin C, carotenoids (antioxidants important for vitamin A formation), phylloquinone (vitamin K1) and tocopherols (vitamin E) in 25 different varieties of microgreens.

The E.U. is miles ahead of the U.S. in regards to limiting the use of artificial colors in foods. But why? These colors, tied to hyperactivity and a whole host of other health problems, are prominent in foods marketed to the young. Continuing the fight against artificial colors here in the U.S., one New York mother has started a petition asking Mars to replace their artificial colors with natural ones, creating a momentum that we need to collectively accelerate.

The NO to Initiative 522 in Washington Committee has set the record for most money raised in any initiative campaign in Washington’s history. If you think spending more than $21.4 million dollars to deprive people of their right to know about what is in their food is horrendous (the astronomical amount that Big Ag and Biotech just spent to try to defeat the GMO-labeling bill currently before Washington) then just think about how much money they stand to gain with that ‘small’ investment.

~ Lee Harris ~ November Energy Forecast: Where The Feminine Impregnates The Masculine… – 6 November

Eddie1177's picture

(Transcribed and edited from Lee’s live Video message)

Hi everyone and welcome to the November Energy Forecast for 2013.

Time is crazy. I can’t believe it was 11 months ago that I stood here to do the December Energy Forecast. That was an auspicious forecast, because it was December 2012 and people were divided between whether the world was about to end, or the spaceships were going to land, or something massive was going to shift.

As I and many people said at the time, the knowledge that we’ve had for thousands of years is that it was always a marker point and it was always going to signify a change in consciousness. And in the same way that for most people, the energy body (and our emotions and thoughts) can change faster than the actual physical body can; it’s the same with this shift in consciousness. It will take time to ground.

Many people are still in the aftershock of, “Well the spaceships didn’t land” or “We didn’t get saved.” Many people are still a little bit confused about the structural changes of our world. Yes, everywhere you look banking systems, government, all of those aspects of society that we knew would be under review or question, it’s all happening. It’s just taking a longer time to play out in a big way than most people would like or expect. And it’s important to remember this to keep yourself centered.

~ Visionkeeper ~ Gifting The World – 6 November

Music to read by below:

It seems important at this time to stop searching for the who we are and finally figure out what gift we have to offer the world to help to make the world a better place. We all have something special that makes us who we are but are we using those gifts, are we offering them to the world in hopes of making it a better place? Isn’t this ultimately what we are here for? Helping to make the world a better place by sharing our love? It really is that simple. When I pass on I would like most to be remembered not for who I was but rather what I gave to the world that hopefully made a difference. Making a difference in the world is such an uplifting experience and it seems the world as a whole is desperately missing uplifting experiences that bring great wonder to our lives. So many have lost their wonder for life it seems. What is life without wonder and feeling uplifted and inspired? It is empty and hollow and without deep meaning. It is surprising that the world has survived for so long without that! For a very long time we have been a world of walking Zombies, going through the usual but minus the heart felt emotions. Thank Goodness we are changing that quickly now. We are coming alive like an appendage that has fallen asleep and begins to prickle back to life.!

The One Superfruit that can Significantly Clean Your Arteries

pomegranate seeds 263x164 The One Superfruit that can Significantly Clean Your ArteriesIf you have never experienced the deliciousness of pomegranates, make it a goal to taste one this fall. These beautiful and tricky-to-eat fruits are loaded with benefits. Perhaps one of the most researched of these benefits is the ability of pomegranates to keep your blood vessels free from plaque, the fatty accumulations that can eventually lead to atherosclerosis and heart attacks.

In one of the more recent studies of its kind, mice predisposed to coronary artery blockages were given pomegranate extract in their drinking water for two weeks. Oddly, the pomegranate extract resulted in increased cholesterol levels (which, if you read some of our previous articles on the cholesterol myth, isn’t necessarily a bad thing). But even with the cholesterol increase, the treatment reduced the size of arterial accumulations, essentially scrubbing it from the arterial walls.

Area 51 Declassified: Documents Reveal Cold War 'Hide-and-Seek'

Eddie1177's picture

Newly declassified documents reveal more detail about past use of the mysterious Nevada test site known as Area 51 and the concern for maintaining secrecy about the work done at the facility.

The recently released papers, which date mostly from the early 1960s into the 1970s, spotlight the U.S. government's desire for tight security at Area 51, also known as Groom Lake. The area was photographed with American reconnaissance assets to better assess what the Soviet Union's spy satellites might be able to discern.

John Smallman ~ You can only be happy if you express your true nature

Ascension is the event to focus on, as it is a major part of your awakening process, and you are very close to it.  Yes, you keep hearing that from numerous channels, but it is true, and you are bringing it into being by your collective intent, so do not allow disappointment with the apparent but unreal delays to cloud your vision, instead strengthen your intent and desire for its arrival, and make it happen, as indeed you are doing.  If you could see and feel the Love we have for you your anxieties and doubts would just fall away, so do not forget to ask for a loving hug whenever you go within to listen to us, then relax into it, and you will feel it because you intend to.  So often skepticism and doubt block the sense, the feeling, the knowing awareness that you could be experiencing of our Love for you if you would only open your hearts to receive It and bathe in the soothing balm in which we have enfolded you.

 

Why Europe Won’t Punish the U.S. over NSA Scandal ?

Eddie1177's picture

At this point, the National Security Agency spying scandal seems never-ending. It’s been ongoing since June, when the first of Edward Snowden’s stolen documents was made public. Each time it appears to be dying, another round of documents appear and the scandal lives on.

 

The latest series of leaks is perhaps the most serious. Less than two weeks ago, on the eve of a European Union summit in Brussels, reports emerged that the NSA had been spying on European leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Aisha North ~ The Manuscript of Survival – part 367

As you all know well by now, the age of creativity has begun, and with it, a whole new set of tasks will be made available to you all. We know that this will sound daunting for many of you, but again we remind you that you have much previous knowledge in these areas. And as such, you will not err on the next step on your journey. For you have all been well trained dear ones, and remember, you have been hand picked to perform these tasks that now lie before you, and as such, we have perhaps more confidence in you than you yourselves have at the moment. And that is indeed easy to understand, as the forgetfulness that was drawn like a heavy blanket over you all as you descended down to this earthly abode a long time ago has not been easy to penetrate. But now, it is as if someone has taken hold of one of the corners and started to ease it slowly and gently off you, and so, you can all see how the light is coming in and hitting your very soul for the very first time in this incarnation. For now, the old forgetfulness will serve you no more, and you will be asked to rub your eyes, sit up, and start to take stock of the situation.

 

Heavenletter #4730 ~ Life Is Good for You

God said:

 

Worry not. Fear not. Love all that you presently may fear. What makes sense but to come from love? What is there to do but to welcome what comes? Everything comes with its blessings, and, so, when it comes, be hospitable. You are the host, and what transpires in life is the guest, and so you are generous.

 

In terms of people, you well understand by now that appearances aren’t everything. Not at all. You know to look at the light in the eyes of all you meet rather than their clothes.

 

There is benefit to gain from everything. Even illness, accidents. They make you stop in your tracks. They make you say, “Whoa. Slow down. Take a look at what’s going on.” There is something to gain and something to learn. In whatever way the course of your life goes, there is a rainbow at the end of it.
