tion
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/25122-exposing-monsanto-herbicide-lin=
ked-to-birth-defects-the-vitamin-a-connection
Jeff Ritterman, M.D., Truthout: Monsanto claims that Roundup poses a low ri=
sk to human health because one enzyme it disrupts is not present in the ani=
mal kingdom. But the company doesn't mention the devastating effect that Ro=
undup has on other enzyme systems present in humans.
The Silent Anguish of Pregnant Women Who Struggle With Addiction
http://truth-out.org/news/item/25205-the-silent-anguish-of-pregnant-women-w=
ho-struggle-with-addiction
Erika L. S=C3=A1nchez, Truthout: Pregnant women who struggle with addiction=

re they need. The criminalization of pregnancy and the lack of resources av=

Ellen Brown | You Can't Taper a Ponzi Scheme: Time to Reboot
http://truth-out.org/news/item/25201-you-cant-taper-a-ponzi-scheme-time-to-=
reboot
Ellen Brown, The Web of Debt Blog: All the king's horses and all the king's=
men could not rein in the growth of the shadow banking system, despite the=
828-page Dodd-Frank Act. Instead, the derivatives pyramid has continued to=
explode under its watch, to a notional value now estimated to be as high a=
s $2 quadrillion.
Dean Baker | Finance in the United States: Promoting Inequality and Waste
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/25200-finance-in-america-promoting-in=
equality-and-waste
Dean Baker, Truthout: The bloated financial sector in the United States is =
a major engine of inequality, sucking money away from poor and middle-incom=

ial industry.

ms Created by Fossil Fuels
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/25202-wishful-thinking-about-natural-gas=
-why-fossil-fuels-cant-solve-the-problems-created-by-fossil-fuels
Naomi Oreskes, TomDispatch: Insanity is sometimes defined as doing the same=
thing but expecting a different result. Whatever we call it, that seems to=
be what is happening. Natural gas is not the bridge to clean energy; it's =
the road to more climate change.
Does the Powerful Paul Ryan Feel Empathy?
http://truth-out.org/news/item/25229-does-the-powerful-paul-ryan-feel-empat=
hy
The Daily Take Team, The Thom Hartmann Program: It shouldn't be a surprise =
that a man with as much wealth and power as Paul Ryan has would propose a p=
overty plan that does very little to fight poverty, misunderstands the root=
causes of poverty and totally fails to empathize with the millions of Amer=
icans suffering through poverty.

Afghans Don't Like Soybeans, Despite a Big US Push
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/25206-afghans-dont-like-soybeans-despite=
-a-big-us-push
Alexander Cohen and James Arkin, The Center for Public Integrity: Afghanist=
an has a rich culinary tradition, but soybeans have not been a part of it. =
American agricultural experts who consider soybeans a superfood find this d=
ismaying, and so over the past four years, they have invested tens of milli=
ons of US taxpayer dollars to try to change the way Afghans eat.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/25219-on-the-news-with-thom-hartmann-las=

In today's On the News segment: Last month was the hottest June on record; =

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/25204-the-mystery-of-a-ukrainian-army-de=
fector
Robert Parry, Consortium News: US intelligence officials suggest that the p=
