Many popular organic brands now owned by large industrial food processorsBy Jonathan Benson, September 30 2011 (NaturalNews) Since the initial release of the US Department of Agriculture's (USDA) draft of organic standards in 1997, large industrial food processors have been gradually acquiring or forming strategic alliances with organic food brands. And a series of detailed charts assembled by Philip H. Howard, an assistant professor at Michigan State University (MSU), provides a visual glimpse into how the organic industry has changed over the years.
It was expected that, with the establishment of national...

Omega-3 fats DHA and EPA lower risk of premature death by more than eighty percentBy John Phillip, September 30 2011 (NaturalNews) Many people make the potentially fatal presumption that aging, chronic diseases and premature aging are natural events that come with advancing years. A plethora of current research studies confirm that nothing could be farther from the truth. In addition to super-nutrient (such as resveratrol, curcumin and vitamin D) optimization, researchers publishing in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and Clinical Cardiology provide documented evidence that beneficial Omega-3 fatty acids...
Attacking the "root" of Raynaud's PhenomenonBy S. D. Wells, September 30 2011 (NaturalNews) It is no surprise that the medical community cannot establish a root cause for Raynaud's, referring to it as either idiopathic, or more commonly, a phenomenon.
Also known as RS, Raynaud's is a vasospastic disorder, or constriction of blood vessels, which severely decrease blood supply to the extremities, causing discoloration of the fingers and toes, and sometimes the nose and ears. RS is basically an exaggerated response to cold or emotional stress, or both. It affects up to 160...

And while hydration is genuinely important for our health, if you're guzzling all that water with your meals it can actually have a negative impact on your digestion.
It's true that the entire digestive system works more efficiently when it's well-hydrated, but this doesn't mean it should be flooded with cold water right when it's working to digest your last meal. Too much water...
How To Take Down A Giant Part 4 (Opinion)By Hesh Goldstein, September 28 2011 (NaturalNews) As you all may know, we in Hawaii have been waging a war against Monsanto against its use of Roundup because of the debilitating health effects caused by its active ingredient, glyphosate. To date, no politician will help as most of the key players are themselves genetically modified, including our Governor, Neil Abercrombie, and his Head of the Department of Agriculture, Russell Kokobun.

Textured Vegetable Protein may contain trace levels of toxic chemical solventBy Tara Green, September 29 2011 (NaturalNews) Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP) is an ingredient often listed on a wide spectrum of "healthy" products including many energy bars and veggie burgers.
Some novice vegetarians, as well as people seeking a protein source with a lower price tag than meat, may purchase bulk TVP as a meat substitute for use in favorite recipes. TVP, also known as Textured Soy Protein (TSP) or as soy protein isolates, can seem like a good way to include vegetarian protein in your diet -- until you do a...

Fiedler vehemently declared that individuals "do not have a fundamental right to consume the foods of their choice," and essentially reiterated his state's position that raw milk is simply off limits.

Wells, September 29 2011 (NaturalNews) Organic consumers and nutritionists may already know, but the rest of the general population does not know about sodium benzoate. It has the ability to deprive the cells of oxygen, break down the immune system and cause cancer.
This killer is flying under consumer radar with its user friendly tag line, "as a preservative." This silent cell choker has found its way into thousands of products, even foods that are labeled as all natural. But don't be fooled. While benzoic acid is found...

Chuck Norris strikes back against GMOs, Codex, and government assault against health freedomBy Ethan A.

Another adverse side effect of Obamacare rears its ugly head - government rationingBy J. D. Heyes, September 29 2011 (NaturalNews) To anyone who naively thought that President Barack Obama was being genuine and honest when he defended his so-called health reform measure against criticism, and that it would eventually lead to government rationing, take comfort in knowing that at least you weren't alone. But you were wrong.
Increasingly, as additional provisions of the Affordable Care Act come online, more and more states are, coincidentally, moving to limit the amount of care Americans can receive.

Mustard seeds deliver more nutrition than you might suspectBy Tara Green, September 29 2011 (NaturalNews) A lot of people lump mustard into the same category with ketchup as a condiment to slather on burgers and hot dogs. Many health conscious consumers therefore make the mistake of overlooking the health benefits offered by this familiar substance.
The condiment we use comes from the seeds of the mustard plant, a member of the cabbage family. Mustard plants thrive in temperate climates and are native to areas of Europe and Asia. The plant has forty different varieties, but three have...

Ten reasons why you should use pure unrefined sea saltBy Paul Fassa, September 28 2011 (NaturalNews) Salt use has been a controversial health issue. Most allopathic MDs consider it a source of high blood pressure. But researchers from holistic health circles, including some independent MDs, have embraced pure sea salt as vital for good health. The taboo on salt has been challenged.

Baker, September 28 2011 (NaturalNews) When elders have cognitive problems, like forgetting things, and when imaging tests show their brains are actually shrinking, the diagnosis is often a hopeless one -- some form of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. But what if the problem in a lot of these people is simply a lack of a nutrient?
That may well be the case. According to researchers at Rush University Medical Center, older people with low blood levels of vitamin B12 markers appear to be more likely to have lower...

Forks Over Knives documentary reveals astounding health benefits of largely plant-based dietBy Christina Luisa, September 28 2011 (NaturalNews) America may boast some of the most advanced medical technology in the world, but the health of the American people continues to decline every year, with ever-growing rates of degenerative diseases.

In most cases, physicians aren't able to do much except send the patient home with a prescription for painkillers. In instances where a stone is particularly large, doctors use shock waves to break the stone into pieces small enough to pass through the urethra. Either way, the patient incurs the usual outsize bill that goes with any emergency room visit.

The dehumanization of agriculture: New robotic farming devices eliminate need for human farmersBy Jonathan Benson, September 27 2011 (NaturalNews) Despite a renewed interest in small-scale, organic, and urban farms, most conventional crops continue to be cultivated on ever-expanding, mega-sized industrial farms composed of thousands of acres. And according to a recent report in The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), modern agriculture has become so dehumanized in the process that farming equipment companies are now developing automated drones to plant, fertilize, and even harvest crops without the need for an actual human being to be...

The new PCB: Monsanto's Roundup weed killer turning up in air, rain and riversBy Ethan A.

And according to some, Monsanto has likely known about this for some time, but chosen to hide it from the public.

Movement springs up in Ohio to reclaim sovereign state's rightsBy J. D. Heyes, September 27 2011 (NaturalNews) In a sign of the divisive political times in which we live, there have been more calls in recent years for a reassertion of local sovereignty over federal control.

Prevent cancer by reducing inflammation, insulin and infectionsBy Connie Strasheim, September 27 2011 (NaturalNews) Inflammation, infections and excessive levels of insulin in the body are major instigators of cancer. Often, they occur together, and most people in modern society suffer from some degree of all three. Yet, it is possible to reduce their influence upon the body and thereby dramatically lower cancer risk.
Inflammation can cause cancer because it generates free radicals that damage DNA and create cell mutations which lead to cancer. Many things cause inflammation, including: refined...

This information could be a Big Pharma ruse to deflect legal liability of their lethal side effects. Suicidal and homicidal side effects continue among those using anti-depressants.
