This type of deceptive advertising lures many people into purchasing products and services that more often than not turn out to be inferior. So how do advertisers do it?

New research presented at the 28th annual meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies indicates that those who share a bed with their furry companions for more than four nights a week have poor sleep quality (1). Specifically, 63 percent of people aren't sleeping well when their pets sleep where they do, based on a series of questions asked of pet owners to determine sleeping habits.

The new law is not supposed to go into effect until 2016, but if it stands, it will become the first such GMO labeling law in the country.

Starfruit, which has an oval shape and a sweet, tangy flavor, is generally 3 to 5 inches in length until it is cut crosswise into sections, which then resembles the shape of stars.

Devon, Staff Writer, June 17 2014 (NaturalNews) As soils are ravaged by pesticides and depleted of minerals, crops become less nutritious over time. According to the biotech industry, the food that grows naturally from the earth isn't good enough, so the DNA must be rearranged, the crops must be doused in chemicals, and the end product should be irradiated, leaving nothing but processed food products that have become all too common at the grocery store.
As nutrition levels of food are reduced across the board, how can parents...

Heyes, June 16 2014 (NaturalNews) It is becoming an unstoppable force, the push for GMO labeling. And for some reason, the food industry is loath to get on board with what a growing number of Americans want.
And thanks to the passage of a single law in Vermont recently which, if it survives coming legal challenges, will require any food containing a genetically modified ingredient to be labeled as such, the cause has gotten infinitely stronger.
