However, her issue is unlike many people who often crave some extra potato chips on occasion or indulge in another bowl of ice cream.
Instead, Mary says her relationship with food is "a 24-hour obsession," explaining that the worse she felt, the more she'd eat. For Mary, eating "more" meant...

Huff, April 3 2014 (NaturalNews) It might not seem like all that common of a place for heavy metals to be hiding, but your drinking water could be harboring poisons that are making your children dumb. A new study published in the journal Environmental Health found that children exposed to arsenic in drinking water, even at very low levels, experienced a 5- to 6-point drop in IQ score compared to other children.
The first of its kind to be conducted in the U.S., the new study looked directly at drinking water contaminants...

Obamacare) ability to live up to its name than anticipated. That first enrollment slowed considerably, "to a crawl," is what some headlines stated. Then enrollments surged as more were caught in the squeeze of not having insurance and being penalized at tax time for that by the IRS.
Although there are options for short-term individual or group health insurance coverages in lieu of not being enrolled in Obamacare...

With 100 percent of the precincts reporting and a huge voter turnout of over 50 percent, nearly 66% of voters elected to ban all genetically engineered crops from being grown in the county.
The vote ran 39,489 to 20,432 in favor of the ban, and it sends a clear signal that the People of Jackson County, Oregon -- a largely agricultural area of the country -- absolutely...

As background, I first came out in favor of Bitcoin and its structure during its early growth years. I became alarmed at the sudden "bubble" of Bitcoin valuations a couple of years ago and warned people about price volatility.

Wells, April 24 2014 (NaturalNews) Last year, the "March Against Monsanto" took place in over 400 cities and in 52 countries around the world. The mass media tried to block it out, because their sponsors sell mainly GMOs, genetically mutated food and medicine. A few television stations touched on it briefly, as if it were some little protest in a few places, but most of the coverage was online and available in video, which was viral on the net.

Natural, nutritious food seems to be rare compared to its altered, compromised counterparts. This has forced labels onto food, which has created some confusion for the consumer as to what exactly they are buying. Here is a guide to help distinguish between three main categories.

Some investors are now looking at a recent earnings miss by the grocery giant as a possible indicator that Whole Foods may not be doing as well as we all thought, especially with new competition on the horizon.

It starts out as an unobtrusive emotion and, when left unattended, eventually becomes a life altering and sometimes even a life threatening condition. Judging from the many stories shared on the internet describing actual cases of depression, one thing seems to stand out - a certain lack of hope. This hopelessness is further compounded by the fact that it is accompanied by a helpless feeling and manifested through antisocial behavior that characterizes...

Wells, May 21 2014 (NaturalNews) Saturated and loaded with genetically modified and hydrogenated oils, fried chicken is your heart and brain's worst nightmare when it comes to "staple food." Inside that oily breaded mess of toxins lurks artificial hormones and antibiotics your body does not want to have to process.

People in positions of power are quick to believe that they know what's best for the collective. Lawmaking is easily persuaded by big money; both power players have an agenda and a ladder to climb.
