But a new study published in the American Journal of Physiology -- Renal Physiology has found that consuming too little sodium is also damaging. According to researchers from both the University of Heidelberg in Germany and the University of Aarhus in Denmark, children born to women who consume too much or too little sodium during pregnancy can end up with poorly-developed kidneys...

This takes some planning. Vegans also need to avoid heavily processed vegan foods that give the false impression of providing balanced nutrition when they do not.
Studies that compare a balanced vegan diet with that of vegetarians, and omnivores suggests that vegans frequently have less body fat, lower serum cholesterol, and reduced risk of type 2 diabetes than those on other diets. In addition...

That was just the beginning of this story, because a detailed analysis of the proposed new regulation reveals extremely disturbing revelations that would absolutely gut the nutritional products industry if these regulations are put into practice.
Below are the highlights of the most offensive...

Unfortunately medications often deplete important nutrients from the body, and people don't find the relief that they seek.
People who have become malnourished as a result of their medications are vulnerable to a host of nutrition related diseases. To make matters worse, they may find themselves having to treat malnourishment with a new batch of medications...

Huff, July 7 2011 (NaturalNews) A 31-year-old heritage organic farm in Maryland is being threatened with takeover by the county in which it is located, and your help is needed to stop these efforts. Nick's Organic Farm is the only farm in Montgomery County, Md., that produces organic seeds, and it is strategically located in a uniquely protected area far away from genetically-modified (GM) crops and other contamination factors. But the county's education board recently voted to turn this special farm into a private...
![](http://www.naturalnews.com/gallery/dir/Food/purpletomatoes.jpg) New book 'Tomatoland' exposes horrors of conventional agricultureBy Jonathan Benson, July 7 2011 (NaturalNews) Most people are largely unaware of the dirty secrets lurking behind much of the food found at grocery stores, including the many fruits and vegetables that line the produce aisle year-round.
Massive amounts of applied chemical pesticides and fertilizers, genetic engineering, and even slave labor are just a few of the many disturbing trends that plague industrial agriculture.
In the hard-hitting new book Tomatoland, investigative food journalist Barry Estabrook gives a first-hand...

Huff, July 7 2011 (NaturalNews) A recent report put together by various professors, scholars and researchers affiliated with Earth Open Source, a collaboration group devoted to food issues, cites in great deal the multitude of peer-reviewed scientific studies which show that Monsanto's Roundup herbicide (glyphosate), which is applied to many genetically-modified (GM) crops, is responsible for causing birth defects, endocrine disruption, DNA damage, reproductive and developmental toxicity, neurotoxicity, and cancer...

Huff, July 7 2011 (NaturalNews) With the excessive security arsenal of X-ray machines, naked body scanners, and "enhanced" full-body pat-downs, one would think the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) would at least be able to make sure that travelers have valid tickets and proper identification before boarding airplanes.
But a recent report by CBS News in New York explains that the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is looking into a case involving a man who had neither his ID or a valid ticket...

Fertility treatments might not work for you, suggests studyBy Jonathan Benson, July 7 2011 (NaturalNews) Obese women trying to get pregnant via in vitro fertilization (IVF) may have a much harder time doing so than women of normal weight, according to a new study conducted by researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) in Boston, Massachusetts. Published in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology, the study suggests that obese women are up to half as likely as non-obese women to become pregnant using IVF.

Physicians know that radiation is dangerous but they cannot help themselves, they love to use radiation both in testing and in treatment. Modifying physician behavior is hard thing to do but we have to do it and do it now in the radiation departments. How doctors and hospitals relate to and use radiation in both diagnosis and treatment of disease needs...

That means nearly all superfoods, multivitamins, detox supplements, and medicinal herbal products we have all come to depend on to prevent disease and boost our immune health could soon be stripped from...
![](http://www.naturalnews.com/gallery/dir/Concepts/Censored-VitaminBottles.jpg) Durbin 'Dietary Supplement Labeling Act' to reward FDA for failures and punish responsible supplement producersBy Ethan A. Huff, July 6 2011 (NaturalNews) A new bill introduced by Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), S. 1310, the "Dietary Supplement Labeling Act of 2011," threatens to undermine the dietary supplement industry by giving the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) more power over it, despite the agency's failure to enforce existing laws that are already on the books.
The Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), the leading trade association representing the dietary supplement industry, has come out in opposition to the bill, saying...
KFC and PepsiCo donate to diabetes research in exchange for your soda purchaseBy J. D. Heyes, July 6 2011 (NaturalNews) It could be one of the most ironically insulting "gifts" ever, but what it is, for certain, is a pathetic shame.
You might think that KFC is doing a good thing by pledging to help fund diabetes research, but when you figure out they are doing much more to cause diabetes than actually cure it, you have to shake your head in disbelief.
According to a recent advertisement spotted in a KFC store, the fast-food chain says it will donate a buck to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation...

Add to that dapagliflozin's many other known side effects, and the experimental drug fares even worse than metformin, the more-common drug for treating type 2 diabetes.
The two-year study found that out of 5,478 patients treated with dapagliflozin, nine...
Stop, Think & Contemplate: BP, Fukushima & Fracking: Is Our Future in Jeopardy?By Mitchell Rabin, July 6 2011 (NaturalNews) I'd rather stop, think and contemplate a beautiful sunrise really, a powerful, yellow ball rising above the horizon by the shore. Or a sunset with a bloom of colors across the sky. But due to evolution's incredibly slow movement in the minds, hearts and souls of some of our fellow human beings who consider it acceptable to decimate natural systems, resources, animals, fish and humans to save a few dollars here and there on their bottom line, our collective survival is in actual jeopardy...

New parents Calob and Ashly had taken their 2.5-month old baby, Caden, to a weight specialist because he was slightly underweight. As far as they knew, they were doing a great job with Caden, feeding him everything he needed and performing the duties of responsible parents. They had gone along with their pediatrician's recommendation to see the specialist because they wanted to be certain nothing was wrong.

Manipulating the heart strings of his listening audience, Gates stated at a recent Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) conference that "rich" kids take for granted the vaccines they receive, and that now is the time to provide the same vaccines for the world's poorest children.

Deadly chemical accident at Tyson chicken processing plant lands 173 workers in hospitalBy Jonathan Benson, July 5 2011 (NaturalNews) The accidental mixing of two unidentified chemicals at a Tyson chicken processing plant in Springdale, Ark., has landed 173 of its roughly 300 workers in the hospital, according to reports. The two chemicals, which Tyson refused to identify, somehow got mixed together to produce deadly chlorine gas, which sent five of the workers to intensive care, with another 50 remaining hospitalized days after it occurred.

Cold fusion devices produce far more energy than they use; quickly approaching commercial viabilityBy Daniel Erickson, July 5 2011 (NaturalNews) Cold fusion is real, but mass American news sources are not covering it. Experiments are currently being duplicated across the world, to add further verification to the body of scientific proof. It is now possible to create energy with commonplace resources at no cost to the environment. Power plants using cold fusion will be constructed before 2012.
Natural News has been covering the developments of cold fusion for quite some time, as controlled experiments in Russia, California...

Heyes, July 5 2011 (NaturalNews) There are a number of proven natural alternatives to reducing your risk of heart attack, but one of the most effective to do that, new research has shown, is through meditation.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, meditation through the continuous repetition of a mantra, can reduce high blood pressure, thickening of the arteries and cholesterol. Researchers say it can even help protect against diabetes.

Huff, July 5 2011 (NaturalNews) The US economy is rapidly unraveling, vital services are being cut, and millions of Americans are losing their jobs and struggling just to survive. Meanwhile, the federal government continues to spend billions of taxpayer dollars every year to fight its endless "War on Drugs," which includes spending about $7.7 billion a year just on enforcing marijuana laws, and preventing sick and injured patients from accessing this natural, side effect-free treatment for their ailments.

They are also hormone disruptors, capable of contributing to hormone imbalances and premature puberty in children. We are all exposed to these chemicals every day, but we can also limit our exposure by taking simple measures in our daily lives. Some products, like air pollutants, are not in our control. However, there are many household items including the foods we eat and the fumes we breathe that may include hidden petrochemicals.
Children are especially...
Is the natural gas industry fracking itself?By Mitchell Rabin, July 5 2011 (NaturalNews) The number of social, political and economic problems we're facing today are nothing short of daunting. With the momentum of privatization of otherwise public works, and even subordinating elected officials to the whim of corporate profiteers as in Benton Harbor, MI, gives some indication of how powerful the corporatization of these United States of America is. On last week's front cover, Time Magazine pictured the Constitution with its ends being frayed with the query "Does it Matter...
![](http://www.naturalnews.com/gallery/dir/Food/MeatGrill01.jpg) Fresh meat versus processed meat: Here's why it mattersBy Mike Adams, July 4 2011 (NaturalNews) Every July 4th, Americans gobble down enormous quantities of meat. Some of it actually comes from animals. The rest comes from factories that assemble bits and pieces of meat scraps, using chemical additives to make the final substance resemble something edible. That's where hot dogs come from… and sausage, pepperoni and deli meats.
If you're eating hot dogs this Fourth of July, you're engaged in acts of nutritional tyranny against your own body. So if you eat meat, eat fresh meat...

Heyes, July 4 2011 (NaturalNews) In an effort to keep track of how much radiation they are being exposed to, the Japanese government plans to give children living near the Fukushima nuclear complex radiation dosimeters.
City officials from Fukushima, some 40 miles from the plant which was crippled following a March 11 9.0 earthquake and resultant tsunami, said they will be handing out about 34,000 dosimeters to kids aged 4-15 for three months beginning in September.

Huff, July 4 2011 (NaturalNews) Attempts by biotechnology giant Monsanto to thwart the proper approval process for its GM corn in Pakistan have led to massive outcry by various stakeholders who recognize they have been deliberately ignored and betrayed by their own government. And the uproar against this high-level corruption has been so strong in recent days that Dr. Iftikhar Ahmad, head of a government subcommittee that tried to secretly aid Monsanto's efforts to push through its GM corn, recently resigned from...
Scientists propose growing fake meat in labs to cut 'emissions'By Ethan A. Huff, July 4 2011 (NaturalNews) Instead of focusing on ending the horrendous factory farming practices that inhumanely confine cattle to tight living spaces, and subject them to an unnatural diet of genetically-modified (GM) corn and soybeans, scientists from Oxford University have decided instead to concentrate their efforts on culturing and growing artificial meat in petri dishes.
A recent report in the UK's Guardian explains that researchers there hope to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by producing fake meat...

Humans are supposedly producing too much carbon dioxide (CO2), which is contributing to "global warming" -- and the only solution, of course, is to have the United Nations (UN) distribute carbon use credits and implement carbon taxes to offset an impending global disaster. However, a new study published in the online journal PLoS One helps debunk this myth by showing that the natural world is basically taking care of this excess CO2 naturally, without the...

It's the Independence Day weekend! Independence from what, you might ask? As even the somewhat revisionist history taught in public schools readily admits, July 4th is a celebration of independence from government tyranny under British rule.
And what kind of government tyranny, specifically? Well, the kind that involves warrantless searches of peoples' homes, where government agents could just waltz right into your private home for no reason and...

According to new British research, time spent listening to the radio makes people happier and gives them higher energy levels overall compared to television viewing and surfing the Internet.
In a survey of 1,000 Britons, a study called, "Media and the Mood of the Nation," respondents reported a 100 percent lift in spirits and a 300 boost in levels of happiness when...

Try frankincenseBy Jonathan Benson, July 3 2011 (NaturalNews) Reducing or even eliminating the inflammation associated with chronic arthritis does not require the use of side effect-ridden pharmaceutical drugs. A new study conducted by researchers from Cardiff University in the UK suggests that frankincense, a resin derived from Boswellia trees, may just do the trick naturally.
