But glyphosate, the main ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup herbicide, isn't at all safe for humans. And a new film project known as A New Resistance seeks to make this fact known on a wide scale, warning the public that this deadly chemical is now present in water, soil, air and food, and is slowly killing us all.

As of right now, we only have one planet to live on, and if we as a species don't start making changes immediately, we could all be doomed.
It's pretty clear that the planet needs your help. It has given us life, and a natural, nurturing environment designed for us to flourish, so the least we can do is be mindful of our choices in regard to consumption.

Researchers from the University of Montreal in Canada found that, when presented with popular scientific articles on genetics and their role in human health, many people added their own preconceived beliefs into the findings, usually blaming everything deviant on bad genetics.

Meanwhile, some geopolitical analysts believe that the economic turmoil -- touched off in part by Western sanctions in response to Moscow's "annexation" of Crimea and suspected military involvement in Ukraine, and in part due to slumping oil prices -- could put Russian President...

They all agree that mucus is our friend - unless we are really sick and overproducing it to the point we can't breathe.
Accounts vary from saying we produce 1 quart, 1.4 quarts, 2 quarts, or a gallon a day. We can safely say we produce a quart or more of mucus a day. This mucus lines our mucous membranes from our nose and sinuses throughout our digestive tract.

But looking back on America's extensive legacy of human experimentation, abuse and torture, the shocking details contained in the Senate torture report hardly deviate from the behavioral pattern of what many now recognize...

Considering that amalgam fillings are one of the top sources of heavy metal exposure today, with supposedly "safer" plastic options leaching a slew of noxious compounds like BPA, it's no wonder that people are fed up with the conventional "drill and fill" approach.

In a bid to make a mockery of the Lake Worth, Florida's city council tradition of beginning each session with a Christian-themed invocation, atheist Preston Smith read a "prayer" that alternately hailed and praised both mythical and anti-religious figures.

Heyes, December 18 2014 (NaturalNews) As oil prices tumble -- some industry experts say prices could collapse to $40 a barrel -- the global economy is being reshaped in ways that are going to be beneficial to economic growth, personal incomes and industrial expansion.
But the same collapse in prices won't be universally good, say other experts, and that is particularly true for green energy.
With prices for fossil fuel high, consumption is lower and green energy projects seem more economical and attractive. But cheap...
