Why does Mexico import sorghum while being the leading producer?

Even if Mexico is the leading producer of sorghum in the world, it has over US$430 million in imports of such cereal (2010). The main reason is twofold: 1) Most sorghum is used for livestock feeding, and to produce beer. As Mexico is one of the largest producers of both beer and livestock in the world, it requires more sorghum than its current capacity allows, thus having to import sorghum from other countries, such as the United States. 2) Mexican agroindustry requires high quality seeds that can stand dry climates or pests. Due to the business model of biotechnology corporations such as Monsanto and Syngenta, whereas stems from these seeds don't give seeds on their own, continuous imports are a necessity.


Does Zeolite remove toxins?

Zeolite is used in biochemistry, agroindustry, detergents, soil improvements, the nuclear industry, energy storage, textiles and some water filtration plants to remove pollutants. Biomedical applications of zeolites include their use as detoxicants and decontaminants, as vaccine adjuvants, and as antibacterial agents. They are also used for delayed release drug delivery, as antitumor adjuvants, as antidiarrheal agents, in hemodialysis, to improve bone formation, and in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. There are plenty of peer reviewed scientific studies showing the significant benefits of zeolites including the strong research currently underway in anti-cancer studies with promising results. Unfortunately, there are some health supplement companies that do not use sound science, material sourcing and process protocol to ensure a quality product. It is advised that the consumer do their homework and practice discernment when considering use of zeolite for alternative medicine. The most promising form of zeolite for alternative medicine is micronized zeolite clinoptilolite in liquid form. There is currently a consorted effort by the Pharmaceutical companies to suppress such research and information through the FDA. Healthy people mean less profit for the Pharm Industry.
