For 35 years, 20/20 Seed Labs has been a leader in seed testing and research. The company has grown from a small business into a fully accredited and internationally recognized seed testing laboratory with facilities in Alberta, Manitoba, and Chile. The company was founded in 1989 by Sarah Foster following Agriculture Canada's decision to privatize its seed testing program. Foster seized the opportunity to fill a gap in the market.

Prof. J. David Miller has focused his research on mycotoxins and damp buildings and health for the last 40 years first at Agriculture Canada and then at Carleton University in Ottawa. Dr. Miller has published over 370 papers on fungi and fungal toxins and has co-written 10 books on the public health aspects of exposures to fungi and fungal toxins, and has several patents. Miller has served on many national and international committees on the regulation of mycotoxins as well as on mold and dampness in the built environment. This includes on the American Academy of Allergy Asthma & Immunology committee that produced practice parameters for environmental allergens. He was chief editor of the American Industrial Hygiene Association “Green Book” (2008, 2020) and “Field Guide” (1996, 2005) that lay out guidelines for addressing mold and dampness in public buildings. He drafted several chapters of the recent ACGIH Bioaerosols guidelines, second edition. In 2013, Miller was elected as a Fellow of the American Industrial Hygiene Association. In 2021, he received the inaugural Philip R. Morey award from the ACGIH for contributions to bioaerosol guidance.

Researchers in Robert Laprairie's lab are hard to miss, with their tie-dyed lab coats, overseeing lab rats in iPad-sized chambers filled with cannabis smoke. An associate professor of pharmacy, Dr. Laprairie and his team are trying to unravel the mysteries of human neurotransmitters and cannabinoid receptors.  "Cannabis is challenging. There's a lot of bureaucracy, there's a lot of stuff that gets in the way. So there was a knowledge gap," said Laprairie. His fascination with the unknown began early, as he repeatedly borrowed the same book about the stars and our solar system from the Saskatoon Public Library. Laprairie never thought of himself as a career scientist, initially enrolling in the College of Education to become a high school science teacher. It was a part-time job tending to canola for Agriculture Canada that made him re-think his plans, as he learned more about treating disease in plants. By the time he arrived at Dalhousie to complete his graduate studies, he was studying how to  'turn up the volume' on damaged cannabinoid receptors in patients with Huntington's disease, and certain forms of epilepsy.  "I wanted to focus more on the pharmacology. How does the CB1 as a receptor work?" said Laprairie. Patients with Huntington's disease often lose up to half of their functioning cannabinoid receptors without ever knowing it.  It's not easy to see that slow degradation happening, Laprairie said. But he said those receptors are essential to the brain, much like those wired for seratonin, or for dopamine. "In animal studies we've seen the animals tend to be more anxious when the [CB1] receptors stopped. They tend to be somewhat spastic and their movements. So their movements can be a little bit less coordinated and they seem to exhibit some of the symptoms of depression." Laprairie and his team are now trying to create drugs called positive alasteric modulators (PAMs) to boost, or turn up the volume in a patient's remaining CB1 receptors -- minus the intoxication. In this episode, we also hear why communication -- and finding the right mentor -- is crucial for scientists with young families. Laprairie jokes that he had one child as he completed each degree -- and with three young children, his early career was hectic. "There's just a lot of strain that puts on a family. Communication and scheduling became essential for survival," he said. Crediting an 'amazing' supervisor with helping him through his master's and doctoral work, Laprairie describes biomedical research as 'a team sport' "Her support of me and her acknowledgement and understanding made all the difference in the world. I would not have been successful without that support," Laprairie said. Later in the episode, he also touches on work with Dr. Richard Huntsman using cannabidiol (CBD), which appeared to reduce the frequency of childhood epileptic seizures when administered orally.  "Patients that were tested here at the university of Saskatchewan saw about a 50% drop in seizure activity," said Laprairie.  "For someone who is experiencing a lot of seizures that are otherwise untreatable, that's huge." His work studying the brain's response to drugs has been marked by paperwork, and bureaucratic hurdles with Health Canada. Even so, Laprairie says the pharmacology of hallucinogenic drugs including psilocybin mushrooms and LSD are intriguing. "There's a lot of unanswered questions there as well," he said, noting some hallucinogens could serve as potential anti-depressants. 

This week we welcome Dr. David Miller for our first "Founding Fathers of IEQ" shows. Dr. Miller is a Distinguished Research Professor at Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario Canada. He and some others we will talk about have been instrumental in getting Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) recognized as a public health issue. We will learn about his career and how he and others were able to help ensure that IEQ is recognized as a public health issue that has science based guidance from cognizant authorities. When it comes to affecting change Dr. Miller says: “It's hard to run away from evidence”.    Prof. J.

Sections et résumé01:43:00 – Pourquoi avoir concentré vos recherches sur les besoins des vaches laitières en vitamines B et comment vos hypothèses ont évolué?Dr Girard a commencé à s'intéresser aux vitamines lorsqu'elle a dû choisir un sujet pour son doctorat. Nouvellement enceinte et devant prendre des suppléments d'acide folique, elle a décidé de faire une revue de littérature sur les besoins en acide folique chez les mammifères. Elle s'est rapidement aperçue qu'il y avait très peu d'études sur les besoins des ruminants. Après son doctorat et lorsqu'elle a commencé à travailler à Agriculture Canada, elle s'est d'abord penchée sur les besoins en acide folique des veaux, puisqu'il était plus facile de convaincre les intervenants des besoins pour les pré-ruminants dont la fonction ruminale est en train de s'établir. Les bactéries qui sont alors présentes dans le rumen ne produisent pas beaucoup de vitamines. Rapidement, elle a fait la transition vers la vache qui est en gestation et en lactation pendant une grande partie de sa vie, et donc qui devait avoir des besoins très importants en vitamines. Son hypothèse était que l'animal est bien lorsque les apports sont égaux aux besoins, et que donner des suppléments pour ramener l'équilibre lorsque les apports sont plus faibles que les besoins devrait donner des effets positifs sur la production et le métabolisme. Dr Girard explique qu'elle et son équipe ont découvert que la période critique est surtout celle qui entoure la transition et le début de la lactation, puisque pendant cette période l'animal est en bilan énergétique et de nutriments majeurs négatif. Ils ont aussi découvert qu'on ne pouvait pas dissocier l'acide folique de la vitamine B12, puisque ces derniers travaillent ensemble. Dr Girard explique en détail comment ils ont procédé pour arriver à ces découvertes, et pourquoi celles-ci ont eu lieu.10:43:00 – Vous travaillez actuellement au développement d'un modèle pour cibler le besoin exact en vitamines B. Que suggérez-vous : commencer à utiliser les vitamines B aujourd'hui ou attendre le modèle?Actuellement, il est impossible de prédire la quantité de vitamines disponible pour l'animal et les recherches sont encore à l'étape de l'essai-erreur. C'est la raison pour laquelle il faut absolument finir de développer des modèles précis. Mais pour l'instant, on constate des effets positifs.14:14:00 – Quels sont les effets majeurs observés lors de la production de vitamines B chez les ruminants?L'effet est différent selon les vitamines, mais on constate actuellement que la vitamine B12 a un effet positif sur la fibre NDF. L'acide folique présente également un effet positif. Dans les deux cas, on observe que plus la vache mange, plus il y a de fermentation et plus la masse microbienne se développe. Les plus grands effets positifs sont observés pendant la période de bilan énergétique et nutritionnel négatif, alors qu'on améliore l'efficacité et donc qu'on réduit le gaspillage de nutriments. Tous les nutriments sont alors vraiment utilisés pour le métabolisme de la vache et sa production.16:52:00 – Avez-vous également exploré les effets de la vitamine B12 et de l'acide folique dans le secteur de la reproduction?En collaboration avec des professeurs de l'Université Laval, Dr Girard a effectivement vu des effets positifs sur la reproduction. L'intervalle entre le vêlage et la première saillie a diminué, et des études concernant le développement de follicules ovariens ont démontré que les suppléments de vitamines accélèrent la vitesse de développement.    18:49:00 – En terminant, quel serait le message clé pour les vétérinaires, nutritionnistes et producteurs laitiers?Dr Girard explique qu'il vaut la peine d'explorer l'utilisation des suppléments dans les troupeaux où on constate que le bilan énergétique est très bas en début de lactation. Lorsque les modèles seront développés, nous saurons exactement comment procéder.

Agriculture Canada predicts more seeded acres and higher crop yields in 2020.

Agriculture Canada recently launched consultations on a model that would make the ancient practice of freely saving and reusing seed illegal. The proposed royalty scheme would force farmers to pay millions of dollars to seed companies every year and make the ancient practice of freely saving and reusing seed illegal. We speak with Ian Robson. Manitoba regional coordinator for the National Farmers Union.

In today’s episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast, we talk to Dr. David Jenkins, the man behind the glycemic index. Dr. Jenkins’ name is not that famous, but his research is and we see his name being spoken more and more. This is due to his amazing work and speaking engagements within the vegan community. Dr. Jenkins starts his talk with us by reminiscing about growing up in Europe and spending time with his aunt on their property about his love and excitement for all things Christmas. This ended up being the catalyst for him giving up meat and instilling worry and fear about his overall health with his mother. Little did she know, that he would grow up, create the ever-popular glycemic index and reside here, in Toronto, Canada. Dr. Jenkins explains how the glycemic and bread index works, how fiber is the answer, what you need to know about diabetes and how pooping on demand is just not weird. His opinion on oil and nuts is quite interesting and you’ll definitely want to hear about his opinion on soy products for women with breast cancer. Dr. David Jenkins is a University Professor, and Canada Research Chair in the Departments of Nutritional Sciences and Medicines, a staff physician in the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism, the Director of the Clinical Nutrition and Risk Factor Modification Center, and a Scientist in the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute, St. Michael’s Hospital. He was educated at Oxford University, obtaining his DM, DPhil, and DSc. He is a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians (London) and of the Royal College of Physicians of Canada. Dr. Jenkins has served on committees in Canada and the United States that formulated nutritional guidelines for the treatment of diabetes and recommendations for fiber and macronutrient intake under the joint US-Canada DRI system (RDA) of the National Academy of Sciences. He also served as a member of Agriculture Canada’s Science Advisory Board (2004-2009) on the future direction of Canada’s agriculture and agricultural research. He has spent much time working with the food industry to develop products for the supermarket shelf and, for example, helped to initiate Loblaw’s ‘Too Good To Be True’ and most recently their popular “Blue Menu” line of products. His research area is the use of diet in the prevention and treatment of hyperlipidemia and diabetes. He has over 300 original publications on these and related topics.   His team was the first to define and explore the concept of the glycemic index of foods and demonstrate the breadth of metabolic effects of viscous soluble fiber, including blood glucose and cholesterol lowering. His group developed the cholesterol-lowering concept of the dietary portfolio that has entered guidelines in many jurisdictions (e.g. CCS, Heart UK etc.). He believes in the therapeutic value of plant based-diets and that diets have to be environmentally sustainable.   In this episode we discuss: Becoming vegetarian What’s in the hamper The connection between pets and food   The impetus for creating the glycemic index Pooping on demand Enzymes Diabetes The misuse of the glycemic index Running away from carbohydrate Mars Bars Processed foods Oils, Nuts and stole and cardiovascular disease Favorite meal Tofu, soy and breast cancer Shanghai women’s breast cancer study Message for the masses for creating a better world   Links to things we mentioned:  – use code “PlantTrainers” for 20% off Dr. David Jenkins – – Dr. David Jenkins Beyond Carnism and Improving Relationships with Dr. Melanie Joy – A Forefather of Plant-Based Nutrition, Dr. Caldwell Essylsten –   Thank you to this month’s Patrons for supporting us on : “Joe” Millie Pearson Mary Lou Fusi Carmen Fanous Emily Iaconelli Spanish Armada Michele Olender Don’t forget to contact us at  with your question for our Plant Trainers Facebook Lives!   We hope you enjoyed this podcast!

His presentation was one that every IAQ, mold and disaster restoration professional should hear. Professor Miller joins us us this week, listen in and LEARN MORE this week on IAQ Radio! Dr. Miller received his secondary education at the University of New Brunswick, before studying at the University of Portsmouth in England, where he was also a NATO Science Postdoctoral Fellow. He began his post-university career at Agriculture Canada in 1982, and became head of the Fusarium mycotoxin program in 1988. He became a Professor & NSERC Research Chair at Carleton University in 2000. From 1999-2008, he was a visiting scientist and science advisor in the air health effects section of Health Canada. His work involves the development of methods to assess exposure to determinants of respiratory health in indoor environments and on fungal toxins in food and feed. Dr. Miller has published 300 papers on fungi and fungal toxins and has co-written 9 books on the public health aspects of exposures to fungi, and has several patents. He has served on many national and international committees on mold and dampness in the built environment. Currently he serves on the American Academy of Allergy Asthma & Immunology committee that produces practice parameters for environmental allergens.
