 Dr. Stanley Bass: Sequential Eating & Food Combining - correct food combinations
If there are 5 different types of food in the stomach at one meal, each eaten separately and in sequence, there will be 5 different kinds of digestion going on at the same time, each layer having different enzymes digesting each food, according to the needs of the food contained in that layer.
But when say 5 different foods are eaten at a meal, where each mouthful or bite is taken of a different food, then the entire stomach is filled with the same mixture.
In this diagram of the stomach, in layer 1, the bottom and first layer is where the first food eaten goes (the papaya).

 Food First Report on Genetically Modified Crops is neither Independent nor Scientific - Center for Global Food Issues ...
Their report, "The Case for a GM-Free Sustainable World," is a rehashing of old and well-debunked myths about foods produced using agricultural biotechnology -- foods grown by high-yielding crops improved to use fewer pesticides which compete with expensive, low-yielding crops marketed as organic.
Furthermore, a review of 81 separate research projects conducted over 15 years and funded exclusively by the European Union found that GM crops are just as safe for the environment and for human consumption as conventional crops, and in some cases are even safer because the genetic changes in the plants are much more precise.
Journalists and other interested citizens are welcome to call or write the Center for Global Food Issues (http://www.cgfi.org) for more information, and for the contact information of GM crop scientists and experts.
