Mugabe accuses officials of spreading AIDS by promiscuity

|

Nairobi, 6 sep (EFE).-the President of Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe, has accused senior officials of his Government to spread the virus of human immunodeficiency (HIV) which causes AIDS, reported today by the State newspaper “The Herald”.

Mugabe, of 87 years, it requested those charges “discipline” in a culture that allows men to have “as many wives as possible”.

“Know cases of men who, although they take even ARV (antiretroviral drugs), pass a woman to another”, said the head of State at a Conference on AIDS held Monday in Zimbabwe.

In 2001, at least six of the 22 Ministers of the Cabinet of Mugabe received medical treatment for AIDS.

In Zimbabwe, one of the countries most affected by AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa, one in seven people is estimated to being infected by HIV.

There are no figures for the current Cabinet, the Deputy Prime Minister Zimbabwean, Thokozani Khupe, announced last month a plan to ensure that all the men in the Cabinet are circumcised “for example”, and reduce the rate of persons infected with the AIDS virus.

A study presented last June, developed by the United Nations Fund for children (UNICEF) and the World Bank indicates that nearly 2,500 young people become infected with HIV every day around the world, and sub-Saharan Africa is the region most affected by this virus on the planet. EFE

What is what leads us to eat without stopping?

|

Researchers from the American Yale University School of medicine discovered the mechanism that leads to eating people or, on the other hand, determines the feeling of satiety.

The study, published in the online version of the journal Nature Medicine, says that this is the same mechanism that controls the free radicals, substances involved in ageing and oxidation of the organism.

According to Clarin collect the study was conducted on animals, and then he concluded that increase levels of radical free in the region of the brain called hypothalamus eliminates directly or indirectly the appetite.

The problem is that, implement it, also has an effect not desired, and even harmful for the organism.

El doctor Tamas Horvath, Coordinator of the study, said that “on the one hand, it is necessary to have these crucial signaling molecules to stop eating.” “But on the other, free radicals damage cells and promote aging to be exposed to them in the chronic form”.

Thus, the possibility of eliminating appetite by increasing the feeling of satiety could be a very effective alternative in the search for control of obesity. But still, is not at all recommendable.

The co-author of the study, Sabrina Diano, Associate Professor of obstetrics and Gynecology, Neurobiology and comparative medicine noted that the process that is generated is “very particular”: “eating too much eliminates the production of radical free which, in turn, is promoted by the growth of intracellular organelles called microbody (or microbodies).

“

, In fact, protect cells against damage from oxidation. “The result, however, is that this process decreases the ability to feel satiated after eating”.

The more “berenjenada” of the world denounces the use of GMOs in the India

Moncho Torres

New Delhi, 6 sep (EFE).-several environmental groups led by Greenpeace today launched in New Delhi, the largest organic “berenjenada” in the world with the intention of raising the Indian authorities about the danger of the use of transgenic.

In a downtown market in Delhi, “chefs” thirty and accompanied by half a hundred supporters chefs prepared hours a “Baingan Bharta” 342,5 kilograms, the largest in the world according to the Limca book of records, the “Indian Guinness”.

Organizers, under the name of safe food Alliance, used this huge Indian traditional dish made from the purple vegetable to direct attention to a draft Bill which the Government intends to regulate the use of the GM.

The above mentioned draft is aimed at creating an authority regulating of the biotechnology of the India (BRAI), something which according to his detractors would consolidate “a system of one-stop shop for the authorisation of GM crops”.

“This is a celebration of the resistance against GM crops.” “Unfortunately, the Government is being on the side of the companies”, he lamented to Efe Rajesh Krishnan, Member of Greenpeace specializing in sustainable agriculture

“Know and healthy cooking healthy, that is what we believe as”chefs”, he stressed for its part Davinder rappelling, President of the Indian culinary Forum, who opted to fight to”ensure a safe food and a sustainable environment”.

“

The Alliance for the safe food wrote a letter last Friday to the first Indian Minister, Manmohan Singh, which criticized the planned legislation “closes the passage to safety for potentially harmful GM crop assessments”.

In 2008, the India national biodiversity authority gave permission for the cultivation of transgenic, eggplant, but months later the Environment Ministry froze the approval of the sale of the product due to the absence of a consensus on its effects.

In this context, the multinational specialized in GM Monsanto and the Indian company Mahyco – of which the first has 26% of the shares – were reported recently with several universities to develop Eggplant GM without permission.

“Monsanto is a criminal because Governments corrupts and destroys biodiversity.” Monsanto pushed 250,000 Indian farmers to suicide. “That is a crime and genocide”, denounced statements to Efe activist Vandana Shiva.

According to a report by Greenpeace, the Eggplant is the second crop plant peaking in the India and an important source of livelihood of small farmers.

According to this study, more than 10 Indian States, where major crops of Eggplant in the country, have officially rejected the Eggplant GM, as well as thousands of people that have supported requests for environmentalists.

The complainants have it clear: “If the BRAI is ratified in Parliament”, will continue to the transgenic Eggplant “them to GM maize, GM rice, transgenic tomatoes and 40 other foods”. EFE
