About the Video: Our genes influence everything from our height to our hair color, and they can also have a profound influence on our health. In fact, almost every disease has a genetic basis, including cancer, heart disease and diabetes. In this interview, Ellen Beth Levitt speaks with an expert in genetics about a variety of health problems that are inherited or are caused by a genetic mutation and why it's important to screen newborns for certain genetic diseases

Emeralds - Genetic (music video) part 1

This documentary exposes a vast conspiracy to contaminate and control the world's food supply through genetic engineering of food crops. Leading scientists and activists present the facts that you need to know about genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Eighty percent of food sold in North America already has ingredients made of GMOs that have not been adequately tested for safety
